Cost Plus World Market

I when to return a few items that i purchased BEFORE the store announced its closing AND with a receipt. The store would not take the returns EVEN with a receipt and the purchase of other items. What a poor policy. Now i am forced to drive miles to Brea to get my money back. Taking cost us off my list they just lost a good customer because of their poor policy!

Good items but this store is generally under stocked and lacks basic items like coffee compared to the brea store. Also some of their staff are quite unprofessional and rude especially Cristina, who I hate dealing with and is always so unhelpful!

Great variety, easy to find what you’re looking for, helpful staff. The lines too way too long when I’ve bought things here before, though I think the girl working the register was new. Will definitely visit again!

There isn’t much of anything that I DON’T like at Cost Plus World Market. Except for maybe the ghastly prices on many items. Pah!
Home décor. Wine. Pillows. Jewelry. Snacks. Gourmet goods. Kitchen utensils.
More than anything for me, it’s a cool place to pick up a last minute gift for someone — anyone! Of any age.
This particular Whittier location has nice, helpful employees. It’s usually well-​organized and mostly clean.
Parking is whatev, though… It’s a shared lot with Target, Kohl’s and many other stores nearby, so it’s typically crowded.
WORST THING ABOUT CPWM:
My. Kids. Want. To. Grab. Everything… And why not? Everything’s colorful. Breakable. Positioned close together. *sigh*

There needs to be better communication between day time employees to night time employees. I called ahead to make arrangements to pick something up that they assured me would be ready for me in the evening, but when I get there no one knew where it was or what I was talking about. I drove an hour in traffic to this location after work to a bunch of idiots that were less than helpful. Come on… Do I need to hold your hand? I hope management reads this and gets back to me. They dropped the ball big time and I’m very upset that time was wasted because of poor communication on their part.
Oh… I also had to drive an hour back home too. So they wasted two hours of my time

I originally went to worlds market today because on my account I had a 10 $ discount coupon of any purchase over 30 $. The sales associate did not give me the discount, she sneakily just gave me 10% off. When I returned to ask about the discount the manager then said I had to spend 40 $ when the coupon code says 10 $ off 30 $. Neither of them helped me, until I went to another worlds market did they take my discount coupon. Will not come to this world market again.

OMG I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I came here specifically for Hawaiian sea salt and ended up with, well, a lot more than salt! :D
I found specialty items that I couldn’t find anywhere else — including culinary items. A gal could lose her entire life savings in a place like this! I scored a great bottle of wine along with a few other goodies for a really decent price. I signed up for their rewards program and was sent a 10% off coupon for the next trip.
The service was warm, friendly, and very professional. I can’t wait to return!

This has been my favorite store/​market for a bit now. They have such neat stuff for your home, bath or whatever. Also, they’re beer selection ifs of the hook! Always check for coupons before you shop, you can typically find some 10% off coupon online.

This store has the most unique and interesting items.
On top of furniture, kitchenware, home furnishings and soaps & candles, they have food and drinks from all different parts of the world. Nice wine and beer selection as well.

I love love World Market. They have a unique variety of different things for your home, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and so on.
This particular store is located in the Whittwood town center. It’s a large store but not the biggest one. My favorite part of the store is the kitchen area. All the different cups, plates, and everything else that goes along with kitchen. It’s different than what you would find in Target.
I love the variety of beer and wine they sell. So many different types. You can also make your own 6 pack of beer. They have lots of whole bean coffee flavors along with a grinder so you can do it all at once.
Beautiful pictures, couches, kitchen tables, décor for the home. Love it!
The place is definitely on the pricey side but everything is so cool. Even if it’s just to window shop!

I’m originally from Canada, and I was able to find the coffee crisp chocolate bar here!!! The only place I’ve seen this Canadian chocolate bar over here… severely overpriced though
Other than that, I enjoy their selection of wine.

I like coming here for last min house warming gifts. Its cute and the prices are pretty sweet and I love their bottle of bubbly they have.

I love, love World Market! I always find something here. I love owls and they have tons of owl theme items. For every holiday the have lots theme items, love coming during Christmas, tons of things to pick from from decorations, to furniture and kitchen supplies. Among with a variety snacks from all over the world with alcohol. Can’t get enough of this place. Parking is simple, located in a shopping center with lots of other big chain shops and local shops with some eateries.

Whitter World Market has the best customer service out of all the World Market’s i’ve been to in the L.A. area!
I ordered a customize your world item which needed to be shipped from the DC center and Robby helped me and my husband with the entire transaction. I only waited 2 weeks for the items to arrive at the store and he called me promptly and had it ready for me at the time I said I would stop by. I am absolutely going to be a returning customer because of their amazing customer service and World Market has quality products for fantastic prices!
Thank you Robby and everyone at the Whittier store for all of your hard work, you guys are all great!

Always enjoy Cost Plus World Market, because they have the random gems and special sales for their Explorer rewards program. It is really cool to walk around especially if you’ve traveled to other countries to see items from said country.
The wow factor is a bit lost, because we have so much cultural diversity (albeit spreadout) in the LA/​OC area. But for random gifts, household items, or if you want to try to make a cool ethnic dish… you will probably find the cookware, wok, utensils to make your experience a tad more legit.
They also have a decent selection of beer, wine, and random candy/​cookies.
Haha, is it just me or does it always feel empty when you shop at a cost plus.

Cost Plus World Market usually warrants a stop if we’re looking for a unique piece of furniture or something foreign to put in our food. After a trip to Germany, we wanted some of the unique varitions of chocolate that we couldn’t find anywhere else– Cost Plus had them. They were marked up, no surprise– but we were able to satisfy the craving we were looking for in a sugary treat.
The store offers a great variety of candy, beers, wines and other goodies from around the world all in a nice little area. It’s not the biggest, but it’s the most convenient if you’re in the neighborhood.

Cost Plus, where I go to find quirky things! I had come here to buy Pocky since they have different varieties instead of just the chocolate and strawberry which is sold at all other stores. I then noticed they had different varieties of soda as well. I’m a sucker for odd soda flavors and old time sodas. I HAD to get a few bottles of soda.
That is when I hit mecca in the form of their wine section. Sure, it isn’t as big as BevMo but it’ll do and it’s closer to me than having to drive to Brea. When a friend had asked for a bottle of chocolate wine I knew this place would have it. I looked for it in the wine section but I couldn’t find it. I was then told it is in basket by the registers. It appears to be a popular item though. The crate only had three bottles left so I took two and left on my merry way.
They also sell furniture and decorations here. I don’t know too much about those areas though since I mainly stick to the market and wine sections when I visit.

World Market, ah, I love you. YOu make Suburbanites feel so cultural without them leaving the comforts of home.
Ok, this place has the same stuff other world markets has, lots of foreign stuff, to make you feel so happy that you can buy things from India or China or even gasp, ITALY?
Um, they do have some amazing red liquorice Kookaburra try it, it’s in a red bag. :D So I go for this, cuz I’m addicted to it. Also yay Sparkling Water, and cute photo frames.
STaff is usually really nice, and it’s by my gym so I usually go every other week.
check it: D

Been here plenty of times and love how I can come and park my car walk up to this Cost Plus and find something I really love. Yes I am a shop a holic. I admit it… Unilocal has made me come clean about this other addiction that I have. :)
But it is a good and happy one! I love to come in this store one because it is gigantic and filled with many different items from all over the world. That is why it is called World Market!
You can find things made in India, Thailand, Malaysia, Europe, just all all over goodies! I come in and sometimes pick out some food, sweets, and just nice dinner wear. I like it all!
If you are in the reward members they will give you a $ 10.00 reward during your birthday month just for signing up! FYI it is totally free. Just sign up in the store give them your phone number. no one will be stalking you and an email addy soo they can just type it in when you come and you get cool presents like a ten dollar reward!
Yippiee I can’t wait to come back again! Love it!!!

I usually have one objective when I go to Cost Plus: Buy illy coffee!
Well, sorry to disappoint you all, but this review will not be so exciting. I visited this location for… you guessed it, illy coffee.
While this location is like any other World Market, it does seem to be a little less stocked than, say, the one at The Farmers Market LA. The general layout is familiar. Furniture, wicker organization bins, lamps, wall décor, rugs, kitchen housewares, wine and other libations, international treats and condiments, coffees and teas, etc are all found here as you would expect.
Well, back to the main reason for my review. I love the fact that World Market issues these $ 10 off $ 30 coupons. Each single 8.8oz vacuum sealed can of illy Medium Roast Ground will set you back $ 14.99. That’s about how much it costs everywhere, if I’m not mistaken, Whole Foods sells them for $ 15.99. So, buying 2 cans for $ 20 is a remarkable deal to me!
So, what have we learned from this review? Make sure you sign up for the free World Market Explorer program. You’ll find substantial saving you can take advantage of in store or online.
