Cost Plus World Market

You get a little bit of everything in this place. Food check, beer check, case lot wine sale heck yes double check haha! Also variety of snacks and food products. Home décor is also available but it has never sparked my interest when it came to the décor or furniture. International or American sweet treats are my fav here!

I ordered the Nomad dinnerware set on the Cost Plus website and only received half of my order in the shipment. Not knowing what to do, I went to my nearest store (in Oceanside), and explained the situation. I gave them my order printout and showed them pictures of what I had actually received. I’m not sure of his name, but one of the employees searched the whole store for what they had in stock (aisles and in the back) and was able to replace most of the missing portion of my shipment. I had to contact the corporate office for the remainder, but the people at the store were so helpful and courteous. I can’t imagine a better resolution to my problem.

Two employees made my World Market experience a cut above. On a busy Sunday, I was looking at furniture when I needed help. Harrison Jones and Zach Hendricks came to my rescue by finding the chairs I wanted, ordering the bed I needed, and showing me how to find a coupon for my purchases. I wish all World market employees were just like these two!

Team members are always very helpful and personable. They have ordered many things to be delivered to the store, for me and I don’t have to pay until I pick up the furniture. I love the variety this store gives, it makes me feel like I have been around the world. My husband loves tagging along to checkout the beer collection. I continually return to this store with a smile on my face and spend way too much.

Wifey likes shopping here. Personally I can’t stand it. Cheaply made «imported» stuff and bad food items.
No thanks.

Staff is nice but they are severely understaffed! I have been in the store several times to pick up online orders and it takes them a long time to get anyone to help you and bring up your order.

If you live in North County you know how difficult it is to find any Asian markets or specialty Asian foods. I tried another small market prior to this one with no luck. The selection here is the best I’ve seen so far. They don’t carry fresh produce but they do have other dry goods and sauces that I always need. I was also able to find the jasmine rice brand I like. This store also carries different soy sauce brands, rice noodles, seaweed paper, fish sauce… Etc. All the items that are hard to come by at the grocery store. For the hard to find products I end up driving down to Clairemont or Mira Mesa. The store is well organized, clean and always stocked. They also carry a wide variety of imported beers and spirits. They sell furniture and other house hold items. I was able to pick up some soup spoons and soup bowls for ramen. It’s a cool little store. The staff is always friendly and the line moves quick.

Fun variety of shopping merchandise! Lots of neat unique different foods from around the world along with furniture kitchen items bath stuff clothing jewelry etc.

The bathroom is disgusting! I walked in and walked out! Looked like it haven’t been cleaned in 20 years. I like the stuff here but unless you have a coupon, homegoods or Michael’s is a better choice!

Always fun to visit. Lots of international selection, too.
Prices can be high, so keep an eye on their coupons!

Excellent customer service from the store’s general manager Kris and CSR David… love all the unique items this store has to offer… good customer service is hard to come by anymore… its nice to see people genuinely care about their store and customers!!!

This store has everything!!! One stop shopping for all household needs, they even have Halloween decorations I’m a happy girl!

This world market is just the best! They have all the coolest stuff. The people who work here are super helpful and whomever their buyer is, you’re doing an excellent job! They have all the coolest stuff especially now at Halloween. Their dia de Los muertos selection is AWESOME! And they always have year round kitschy stuff like Eiffel Tower shower curtains and skeleton hanging lights. This is my favorite store and unfortunately I always spend way too much here on hard to find sodas like Nesbits and Lemmys lemon fizz. Love this place!

Very beautiful store. Walked in and was greeted by two people right away with smiles.
Walked to the back to look for a pasta sauce my girl was craving. Though I wasn’t able to find it I grabbed something that was similar.
When I walked up front to check out I asked them about the other flavor from the same company they weren’t sure so I showed them a pic and they went right on the computer to verify my question without hassle.
A bit steep on the price but it’s ok if I can leave with a good mind set

We love the pieces that we purchased from here! For the most part service was great. We had a great experience with a young man in furniture — wish I remembered his name :(! But, the store has lots of fun things and ways to improve the house! We just love their selection of unique foods and fun furniture .
Hammered coffee table is bomb.

I am giving this Cost Plus World Market four stars but I definitely give the dumpy, dirty, chaotic, poorly engineered shopping center its located in zero stars. I realize the dirty diapers, children in the street and trash rolling around like tumble-​weed isn’t Cost Plus’ fault so don’t worry, I’m not penalizing them for it.
Anyway, I like this store. Its a great place to shop for stuff you don’t need. They have some cool jewelry and accessories that make great gifts. Also they have a fun «market» with internationally inspired food, much of which is imported, like everything else in this store. I always like to stroll the grocery portion of the store to check for interesting food, new beer and deals on wine. Much of the inventory at Cost Plus is inexpensive home furnishings. You can get some good deals here but of course some items are a little cheesy.
I’m pretty sure that everything here except some beer, food and wine is imported. In many ways it reminds me a lot like Pier 1 Imports, but a bigger and perhaps better version.
Overall, I like this store (just wish the location wasn’t awful). The staff is friendly and the store seems organized and stocked. As a side note, given the choice between the O’side store and the Esco store, I actually travel to Escondido usually — the shopping center is less dumpy, believe it or not.

I have always loved Cost Plus. This is the first time I have been to the Oceanside one, it’s as great as every other one I have been to. It’s a huge corporation, although it likes to pretend it is a unique gypsy flea market. So it runs pretty smoothly.
I bought the Porter Wine Bar… it’s great, is assembled already which is awesome… makes for a huge box to get home, but no assembly is awesome. Also bought two side tables, took about 5 minutes combined to put both together.
Will and Kayla both helped me. Will in the store, 2x, and Kayla over the phone. Both of them were very helpful and efficient, made my experience even better. Thank you!

Fun assortment of imported furniture, food, clothes, home decorative accessories.
It’s easy to get sucked in and spend a lot of time just browsing around. Everything is laid out well and inspires a more colorful life at home. The merchandise is generally good quality– most furniture is solid wood and the clothing and decorative accessories are made from natural materials. I actually own a wood table and café chairs that I bought almost 20 yrs ago from Cost Plus which still look fresh and new.
Worth a trip if you’re in North County and want an alternative to Pier 1. It’s also a great place to find unique gifts and make fun gift baskets!

You’ll find interesting things here that you likely will not find anywhere else. Wines and beers from countries you can’t spell, candies and snacks from countries far away, interesting bits of clothing from India and furniture from Vietnam. Even if you’re not planning on buying anything, it’s an interesting browsing experience!
Prices tend to be a little high, but you’re paying for the shipping of this stuff from halfway around the world.

OK I absolutely love World Market in general, but 3 stars for customer service at this location. I’ve been a couple times and every single time I stand in the check out line forever.
The worst was last time when there was only 1 cashier and she didn’t have a care in the world. She had another employee (slowly) help figure out the best way to wrap up 8 glasses for some lady and once he was done, he literally stood there staring into space. I asked if I could check out with him and he tells me the cashier will be with me shortly.
She continues to chat with the lady (they were standing there chatting when I walked up) and by the time they were done, it had taken over 15 minutes. There were about 5 or 6 people behind me at that point.
Then when it was my turn, she starts chatting instead of ringing me up! I’m not here for fun, I’m here to buy something and get out.
