My initial review was based on when it was located in Downtown Bellevue across from Bellevue and…read morestill know as Cost Plus. Since then, it has moved to Crossroads into the former Barnes & Noble space across from QFC and has updated its official name to World Market. The first impressions of the store mentioned before still are valid. It has a great selection of home decor, kitchen supplies and specialty food items. Particularly international foods that are hard to find elsewhere. The location itself is a lot more convenient as it is closer to my home than the other location, which is a huge plus. However, I knocked a star as it can be hard to determine the current stock of products at the store when checking online. I have made numerous online purchases on the website for store pickup as they offer a discount for this option. However, I have experienced many instances when a product I ordered was unavailable even though the website said it was. Particularly on items where the stock shows that there are a few left. If you order online, just be aware that the store may not have it available, especially if the website says they are close to selling out.

- horrible pickup process -…read more I placed an online order, and it was ready to be picked up after 3 hours. Yup, it takes them 3 hours to fill my order with two items, and one of them is out of stock but they didn't update it on my pickup notification. I went in, waited in line for it. Then when it was my turn, the cashier was gonna help me out but someone else came to line up, so she told me she has to help her first. So I had to wait for her to finish the order first before she could fetch my stuff in the back. When that was done, she went to the back and brought me one of them items. They weren't gonna give me a receipt so I had no clue the other item was out of stock, so I asked her where that is.. then someone else came and she had to help her first of course, so I waited forever for her to go to the back.. and eventually she came back and told me the item was out of stock so they didn't charge for it. I had no notification of that, so I asked for a copy of that piece of paper with the info, then she told me to take a pix. . It's weird how disconnected and inefficient this whole pickup process is. And the fact that I had to keep waiting for other people is highly unacceptable and the whole process took 20 minutes or more .. this is my first time placing an online order, and also the last time.

HOMEGOODS @ BELLEVUE…read more This HomeGoods is right next to Trader Joe's, it can get pretty busy especially finding parking on the weekends, so be aware! The selection was great, they had all sorts of things from home decor, kitchen, bedding, really anything, all was good and decent pricing. I found a great deal of a set of knives for just $26, and it was a steal! Some things were even locked up which was surprising, like literally blankets or bed sheets were needed for assistance. The place itself was MESSY. There was boxes on the ground that workers were unloading (i'd assume they unload after people leave/before the store opens) but no they were doing it right in the middle of a section, pretty inconvenient and messy. There were also random carts full of stuff from workers that were left abandoned and took SO much space. Home goods is already small and squished, no need for random carts to be in the middle of things. Overall, the place still had good finds, there was a lot of people on a Saturday, so i'd recommend coming by on a weekday.

We went to the store to see if they could refund our money. They claimed they too were duped by the supplier and that it's not actually leather but rather bonded leather. All they offered was a $800 credit. Why would I spend even more money at a store that is so scammy! And even if this wasn't an intentional scam, they clearly don't know real leather from bonded, which for someone in the furniture business is total incompetence. Now we are stuck with this peeling eyesore in our family room. We are contemplating reporting them to the WA AD. Selling is a leather protection package was just salt in the wound. We are so mad

I love thrift stores like…read moreJubilee Reach when I'm looking for something unique because you never know what you're going to find. I especially loved browsing through all of the dishes and home goods. There were so many fun and colorful pieces that caught my eye. The store is huge and packed with clothing, furniture, home decor, dishes, and so much more, so there is definitely a lot to explore. I could easily spend hours wandering around and looking at everything. Such a fun place to thrift when you're in the mood to treasure hunt and find something special!

And they do their best to make it feel like a "normal" shop but I find it a little disorganized and feel very overwhelmed and gave up looking at clothes. They have a small variety of furniture downstairs and upstairs they have a small section of housewares and men's clothing. It was really hot on my visit and if I wasn't as warm, I'd probably stay longer and do some real treasure Hunting. But I just wasn't into it that day. But it's a great store to search and hunt.

Cute gift in home store on Main Street in old town, Bellevue. Even though I work in Bellevue, I…read moreprobably haven't been to this neighborhood since before Covid. I used to come down here often but now it takes 20 minutes to get there instead of five in the old days. The window display grabbed my attention because it had a lot of cute new jellycats. Went inside and they had a small section of new Jellycats, picked up two of the Valentine's Day macaroons and looked at a couple others. They had several great sale items at 70% off. Overall, the store is super cute and the owner and the person that were working there were super nice and friendly. I find the other reviews hard to believe but maybe they've changed over the years. Would definitely stop in here again if I was looking for a gift or the latest in JellyCats..

I had a very disappointing and uncomfortable experience at Hedge & Vine in Bellevue…read more When we walked in, the white woman working there did not greet us at all. No "hello," no acknowledgment nothing. Almost immediately after, another white customer came in and she greeted her and began helping her right away. The difference in treatment was very noticeable. Throughout the time we were in the store, she kept looking at me in a strange and uncomfortable way. It felt like we were being judged rather than welcomed as paying customers. There was no effort to assist us, check on us, or make us feel comfortable in the space. Customer service should be equal and respectful to everyone who walks through the door. Instead, I left feeling ignored and singled out. I don't take accusations like this lightly, but the experience genuinely felt discriminatory. I hope management takes this seriously and evaluates how customers are being treated. No one should feel unwelcome in a business because of how they look.

Gotta checkout Ross whenever you are near, as long as you have time. This location was in…read moreBellevue, located as an anchor of a very small strip mall (named Ross Plaza). It is very large inside, and very rectangular so easy to see where everything is. The selection when we came wasn't great, thinking they haven't restocked since the holiday rush. What's interesting is that they closed the built-in dressing rooms near the back, and instead created makeshift fitting room 'cubicles' in the front. Less need for staff, I guess.

UPDATE 12/16/2024:…read more This is an update partly to say that Paula's Hallmark Shop at Crossroads Shopping Center, is now Trudy's Hallmark Shop, since my original review in 2019. And also to say that they now accept MobilePay (ApplePay, and GooglePay). Today a friend of mine and I stopped into the store to get some funny Christmas cards. He complained about the high prices of their Hallmark cards. Me, I bought a 5 x 7 comical Christmas card today (see pic) which was $3.85 after tax. This is a little pricey, but their selection is supposed to be much better than at most stores. Though today, I did not notice their selection being as good as I would hope. Perhaps a lot of people have already bought Christmas cards here this year. Nevertheless, my friend and I have found suitable cards today, Merry Christmas, and a happy new year!

I haven't been to a Hallmark store in forever until recently when I was like, "Oh yeah, there's a…read moreHallmark here. I should go check it out for my friend who is obsessed with Hallmark movies!" And there I was off to, at a Hallmark store after many years at Crossroads Mall. Trudy's Hallmark Shop is a typical Hallmark store. It has all the knickknacks that you'd expect at a Hallmark, with many themed gift items, Hallmark greeting cards, house accessories, frames, baby's first album, you name it. I visited this store when I was out Christmas shopping and immediately thought to come here when I wanted to get a gift for my friend who loves Hallmark movies. It was perfect because at Trudy's Hallmark Shop, they had an entire section of Hallmark-themed gifts! Now that I think of it, I am not sure where else Hallmark is in Bellevue, but am glad to know that there's one here at Crossroads. Staff was friendly and helped me find a gift for my friend, and dogs are welcomed! Now that I've been reacquainted with Hallmark, I'll be sure to come here for my Hallmark-loving friend's birthday and for other gift items.

This is an absolutely amazing company with great, durable furniture and customer service that is…read moreleaps and bounds above any other. I bought one of their bunk beds (from Costco as I recall) over 16 years ago, and have moved, disassembled, and re-assembled it many times since. The design is smart and sturdy, and it is simple and fast to disassemble and re-assemble, even simpler than smaller items like chairs and coffee tables I have purchased from competitors. During my last move, the movers lost some of the hardware for the bed. I called these guys up (16 years later, mind you), and they knew exactly what bed I had and sent me the missing hardware via first class mail to my home in California so I could get back to reassembling the bed and settling in to my new house! Compare this to the experience folks are used to these days with fly-by-night online sellers who may not be in existence a few months later, much less answering the phones and supporting their products after nearly two decades. This level of stability and integrity is how business was done in the old days, and this experience has not only drawn me back to Epoch's product line, but encouraged me to think critically about where I source my other products. Purchase your furniture from these guys. Their quality and service are both top notch.
