The manager Emmanuel at the Bee Caves store is Amazing!! He is, sweet, knowledgeable, kind, personable, helpful and attentive!! We were looking for 6 chairs to go with my new wooden dining table. Emmanuel went above to help me measure, try out a chair at home. I came back and ordered five more. He helped me apply for credit card so I could get discount. He was old school and new school polite rolled into one!! I can't say enough good things about him! It's all because of him I purchased a total of six chairs and will go back to shop and spend my money!! read more

I drop into World Market relatively regularly to check out their seasonal tableware and decor, along with their fun candy, tea, and drink selections. I also really like their wrapping paper and gift bag options, and find cute hostess gift items aplenty. Today I stopped in and didn't find anything I wanted, but I'll keep coming back because every season is different and their selection rotates. On a very sad for me note, they stopped carrying the chorizo sausage I occasionally buy for a treat. I'm sad to see it go! But you can't have it all. This store is clean and fun to wander in, and the staff is friendly. The checkout line can be a bit slow depending on who's working and how chatty they tend to be. But better friendly staff than the opposite. The parking at this location is terrible- not the fault of World Market, but a factor as a customer nonetheless. read more

Did you know that World Market moved from the Gateway shopping center the Arboretum Shopping Center near Michaels (Austin, TX)? I did not until recently. World Market is an eclectic store with global style, offering a variety of items from home furnishings and kitchen items to international foods and drinks. I have found woven baskets from Ghana and Christmas ornaments from Kazakhstan. You can go in and be immediately overwhelmed or bask in the delight of all your findings. World Market is my go-to for chocolate covered tea biscuits, certain types of jams and wines from around the world. The store's ambiance often feels like an open market luring you to different parts of the store. If you are looking for a unique gift, this is the store you. Today I was looking for green tea for a friend...not any type of green tea. I was specifically looking for white hibiscus and peach green tea. Score! I found ample amount of this tea with a plethora of other similar teas. The cashier was so kind to point precisely to the part of the store where I could find all their teas. World Market is a great place to shop for unique items especially gifts. I am more than thrilled with the new location as it is even closer to home. read more

Larger physical space than other World Markets we've patronized, but there were a lot of empty spaces for items not in stock. Couldn't find the food items we routinely get up at the Waco location. Semi-disappointed, we figured larger town = larger selection. read more

I like that they have a clearance section and everything else is expensive or different prices that you might agree or disagree on. The staff is willing to help you without you even asking them first because they walk around asking you if you need some assistance which is actually very helpful because I didn't need some And I got what I needed with the help and I was checking out and it was very easy and very helpful to answer all my questions at the checkout point. There's a lot of things going on and very busy at the store. Parking is easy to find but very busy parking lot at the time of the visit read more

This is a cool store. I used to shop here quite a bit. Of course I do 50% of my shopping online now. I wanted to get out the other day to look at an Xmas gift for somebody and I wanted to see it in person. The store was pretty busy and I was having trouble finding what I wanted to look over. I ran into a nice employee who was cool and helpful. She walked me over to the shelf where the item was and It was exactly what I wanted. The employees are great and if you wander around long enough, you will find something you didn't know you needed or wanted. The prices are reasonable too. Happy Holidays read more

I can't begin to express how much this store has. I came at the right time of year with all the autumn & Halloween displays out. It was such a treat!! They had an entire wall of Torani sugar free syrup, I have been looking so long for different flavors and they had more than I could imagine! But the candles totally stole the show. Dozens upon dozens of candles, all regular and seasonal. I couldn't believe it, most were amazing and the ones that weren't are not bad, just not as good. This place will have you in here doing laps in these aisles from food and snacks, to the glassware. read more

I shop here often. They have very unique items as well as a great foods section. I love the different cultures represented in the foods. The prosciutto and other meats, the Iberian jamon chips, and the sauces are all very good. I've also bought furniture and recently a rug. Usually the staff is very nice, but there's one lady at the Costa Mesa location that is genuinely unpleasant and as soon as you make a purchase she is barking at you that there are no returns without your receipt no exceptions. She's scary b read more

There is something so soothing about walking into a World Market knowing you're bound to walk away with something to neatly add to your home for that special little touch. It's fun to get lost in the aisles and taking the time to explore all of the trinkets. Some of my fave categories are their kitchen and office decor. The winning moment is their wall art for me and I love their World Market Exclusives. read more

As I grew up, this was probably one of the FIRST places adults shop that became palatable to my young brain! THINGS ABOUT WORLD MARKET: Beautiful dishes, cooking wares, cooking supplies? YES. Cheese boards, pretty spoons? YES Surprisingly GORGEOUS furniture, pillows, and lighting? YES SO many treats from around the world? YES A surprising amount of GLUTEN FREE treats?? YES BAD VIBES? RESOUNDINGLY -- NO! Always a treat to come here. Can't wait to go back! read more

This place is the death of my bank account! Love love love the selection here for everything home and wine. I don't have any cabinet space left for plates and bowls but I can't help but pick up a few plates here and there when I go here. Ugh!! Why? I have purchased very nice furniture amd beautiful bedding from here. There are good deals on wine too! read more

World Market - Home Decor Near Me - Austin, Texas

This location is fire. If you enjoy cooking they have a bunch of sauces/condiments that HEB and other stores alike don't carry. plus and whole section of unique cute kitchen gadgets/ utensils/ tools. I found some sardines that I couldn't find anywhere and some British cookies that my British wife enjoyed on valentine's day. right now this store has a really nice collection of knickknacks / junk/ decorations / elephant hangers etc etc that are really cute, colorful and I wish it stayed on the floor longer but i Know it constantly changes. like it's a get it before its gone for me. lol. so i try to go back frequently but i don't. i also love bergamot and they had a bunch of candles! I was like a kid in a toy store read more

I came in for the first time to survey the place for a future purchase,and I was excited by what I saw! Great mix of knacks, decor, books, nonperishable foods, wines and furniture. The furniture was....not sure about the quality, so view and research before buying. The section that I loved the most was the kitchen wares. Wooo! I'm coming back for kitchen stuff for sure ! read more

World market is an amazing magical store!!!! All of their products are so creative and carefully curated! Very affordable unique beautiful products for your home and very unique gifts for anyone! My husband also loves going to the store with me because everything is so unique unlike other stores. They have wine from all around the World and food items, their Christmas gift items are amazing. I can find some thing for everyone that I know in the store! read more

Absolutely amazing experience. Walked in and found exactly what I wanted on sale and the cashier told me about their rewards program for 15% off! Thank you! read more

Oh World Market. Every time I walk in, I want something. Fortunately I have the sense to give anything I'm interested in a thorough once over. The furniture can either be fairly well made or rickety junk. But burning $300 for something they have well made is a lot better than finding a similar piece elsewhere for $1000+. The food selection, while bizarre, has some interesting things you really can't find elsewhere. We don't seem to buy wine there though. read more

Great store !!!!!I didn't feel pressured to sign up for anything by the staff and everyone was willing to help out. Even walking out the door they asked me if I found everything ok and I told them since I'm not from the area that I really couldn't fit anything I wanted in my bag. They very friendly said thank you for coming and Hope next time I am in town I will visit. I felt it was very nice of them and didn't feel pressure to buy anything. Great selection, restrooms were very clean and overall the store is really nice. They have some really cute decor items but also some stuff for the kids. I will definitely try to find one closer to home so I can actually buy some of the stuff I liked. read more

Whole Food's competitor! Enough said right?? hehe And of course always one star is missing because honestly I just always feel the prices are overwhelming. read more

I ordered a Super cool round bookshelf online Apr 22. Waited for weeks and have been charged for the piece of furniture. Today is May 14 and it still hasn't arrived. I have spoken with world market's customer service after spending over 2 hours on hold and filed two customer service tickets (never answered). They referred me to seko deliveries. I spoke to two different offices. The last person assured me that the bookshelf would be delivered this week and a delivery person would reach out to me to arrange a time. I haven't heard a word. I will never buy furniture from a World market again. read more

I've basically furnished my entire new apartment from this store...I love the style: unique, good quality, and fair price. Lots of discounts with a membership. The staff have been great and even let me return a pan that was ruined in the dishwasher. read more

Service is getting worse if that's possible: Today 07/28/16 there was no person at the checkout. Had to ask someone to come over and serve. When the person comes over then more incompetence, was overcharged for one extra item. It was then corrected but still way too long. ----- Wait line at the checkout is still too long. ----- Still super slow at the checkouts, what's the excuse now Cost Plus ? It's holidays season and you don't have all the checkouts open ? I see lots of staff walking around the store. Very poor Store and concept is fine, however there is always a serious management issue of the staff here. Even when the store is quiet there is a wait line to pay for the goods. They really need to improve in having staff at the cashiers. read more

Whenever I go in here, it becomes the Supermarket Sweep game show. I throw everything I see into my cart. World Market is a cash destroyer. Let's sing along with The Kinks, shall we? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9ObLGRq33o] Saw a painting of violas and I took it back to my place. Feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, For this desire, I am unprepared. Stop! Hold on. Stay in control. Wine, I want you here with me, But I'm really not as rich as I'd like to be. But there's a red [wine], under my bed, And there's a little yellow pillow under my head, And there's a fon-due inside of me That keeps shoppin' me, touchin' ya, watchin' ya, lovin' ya. Consumer Spoiler, cash destroyer! Consumer Spoiler, cash destroyer! Well, I fell asleep, then I woke feelin' kinda queer. World Market looked at me and said, "Ooh you need my beer." She said, "Girl, there's really nothing wrong with you. One day your bank account will reconstruct. It's up, it's down, we can work it out. You got a good thing goin'; things you can't do without." Consumer Spoiler, cash destroyer! Consumer Spoiler, cash destroyer! Silly girl, you got so much to buy for, So much to aim for, much to drive by for. You blowing it all at Consumer Spoiler. You're so insecure, you cash destroyer! (And it goes like this, here it goes...) Consumer Spoiler, cash destroyer! (Here it goes again...) Consumer Spoiler, cash destroyer! Banker, Banker, help me please. I know you'll understand. There's an avid shopper inside of me, I'm a cash-destructin' woman. There's a red [wine] under my bed. And there's a little green pillow under my head. And you said, "You're not goin' crazy; you're just a bit poor. 'Cause there's a spender in ya, gnawin' ya, tearin' ya into two." Consumer Spoiler, cash destroyer! Consumer Spoiler, cash destroyer! Cash-destroyer, wreck your wealth, Destroy your funds, destroy yourself!

World Market! Now with memories of dad's visit! me: Come on dad, let's find you a healthy red wine. dad: I don' know my Dej. I like the wine a'n drinkin a'ready. me: Well... I know dad, but let's see if we can find something a little bit... uh... healthier. dad: H'okay. me: Look, there's an employee. Let's ask her opinion. Get some ideas. dad: Is ok to me! WM gal: Can I help you find anything? me: Yes! We're trying to find a good wine for dad - him: For my heart! WM gal: Oh, very good. So a red wine? him: Yes, but I get one a'ready, I like mine. WM gal: Which one is it, sir? me: ... him: Manischewitz! WM gal: Oh. Uh. The Kosher wine? him: ? me: That's the one, yes. So, uh, a sweet wine. A very, very sweet wine. WM gal: Well.... [include great info on the sweetest possible red wines to ever be labeled "wine," when they are actually grape juice sprinkled with alcohol.] me: That's great, thanks so much. WM gal: Sure! Enjoy your wines! When we got home, we tried both new wines. One was Jelly Jam something, and the other one was a table red wine produced locally. me: This is the first one.... Wow! It's really sweet dad. dad: (sips) Hmmm. I's a little... i's okay. me: But you want it sweeter? dad: Yes! me: Okay... here's the other wine... Oh. God. This is too sweet I think. dad:... Lemme check.... Nope! I's a good one. Oh yeah, they get a good one here. I's not a Manischewitz, but i's good. And that's how my Dominican father is making heart-healthy strides towards red wine. Real-er red wine. read more

I totally forgot about World Market. I've always gotten their emails but after I moved from the chain store wasteland of south Dallas, I never really thought to go here again until recently. I needed an umbrella for my patio STAT and it appeared WM was having a sale. I had the best experience there. This girl who helped me out (beth??) was just amazing. Went to the back to look for the color I wanted, helped me figure out that one was cheaper than another and was basically my personal assistant through the whole process. She was fantastic. I had to return one item (some umbrella lights) today and again, had a fantastic experience. I was *that* customer. You know the one. Didn't have a receipt, the original packaging or frankly any idea at all what the price was. In fact, I tried to return it with different packaging altogether from the set of lights I'd replaced it with. Yeah, real winner. Maxine got me all sorted with herculean patience and research on the interwebs. She went above and beyond to help me out. Of course, there's a whole bunch of cool stuff, great jewelry, art, rugs, home stuff, wine, beer, snacks, toys but I was most impressed by how spot on the help was both times. read more

New things I found at World Market: A large red plastic Japanese umbrella for an outdoor table. But it's PLASTIC. Beautiful handmade paper gift bags with ribbon handles. The textures and colors are dreamy. I purchased several. Large assortment of greeting cards. Really, where I get my card fix for special occasions. A small glass front cooler at checkout filled with assorted cans and bottles of waters, juices, and colas. Where's the beer and cans of wine? A more open space plan that seems to showcase their foods and kitchen wares better. Samples of their thin ginger cookies and Kettle potato chips. Bright summery pillows. Several styles of outdoor furniture. Battery operated strings of outdoor lights. I will probably go back for some of these. Nothing on sale in the beer and wine department. Waiting for my next coupon and a sale in the B & W department. read more

If you sign up for their reward program, you get coupons via e-mail, and a lot of times you can use them in conjunction with the regular store coupons, so I get some great deals from time to time. It's not as good as CVS where I think sometimes they actually pay me to shop, but still, the savings are substantial. The item I most love to purchase here is Illy brand coffee. I tried it at 360 Uno and thought it was the most delicious coffee ever but was disheartened by the prices at Central Market. It's much more affordable here and seems equally fresh (don't let the dust on the canister deter you, I promise it's really good). The furniture, which is reasonably priced, has proven sturdy as well attractive. My dining table and benches look brand new despite being used daily for 5 years and moved in a U-Haul twice. And the same can be said for my coffee table, which is pushing 10 years. I almost wish it would wear out because I'd actually like something new! I'd not hesitate at all to buy furniture here again. Or anything else for that matter. Actually, I take that back, I would hesitate to buy Electric Reindeer wine again. It was $3 and disgusting. I probably should have seen that coming though. read more

I know....I know....I know....blah....blah....blah. We needed 15 bistro tables and of course they have only 3 in the store. The "furniture head" proceeds to let us know that he can order them for us, they'll take a couple of weeks to come in and he'll give us a 10% discount. NOW THAT'S SERVICE! Nice wine selection too! read more

I recently went into a World Market because I heard rumor that they sold Cafe du Monde beignet mixes for a third of the price on Amazon and it made me remember how in love I am with this store. When I was younger and had more expendable income and time to spare (aka high school), I used to hit up World Market every weekend with my friends. They have EVERYTHING. Everything from adorable gift wrapping supplies to cute bathroom supplies and household items. There's a ton of different kinds of furniture to check out and a whole corner of the store devoted to kitchen utensils, supplies, every sort of little adorable gadget you could ask for. I have had to seriously restrain myself from buying everything in the kitchen set. I WANT IT ALL! In the back is where all the snacks, gourmet food, mixes and drinks are. There's also always a variety of items from different countries for purchase, which are usually organized into different countries of origin. A visit to this location a couple weeks ago brought all those memories back to me, except with added benefit of alcohol!! Since I drink now AND am into wine, I perused their wine section and found some decently priced wine and a pretty large selection. I ended up impulse purchasing a $7 bottle of Tempranillo based on a recommendation, which was okay, but only cost me $7! I could seriously spend hours and hundreds of dollars at this store if I were able. Most things are priced higher than what I would spend on almost anything, but it's somewhat comparable to any other higher-end place (not Target). If you need anything for your house or just have time and.or cash to kill, seriously check this place out. It's amazing. read more

If Crate&Barrel and Trader Joe's had a baby, it would be World Market. Although it reminds me of those two stores, I believe that World Market offers their own unique products. I was navigating the interwebs for the perfect relatively priced end table. Do you know how hard that is?! Yes I can get one from Amazon, but they look tacky. Yes I know Target sells some, but they look cheap. And no I'm not going to spend $300 at West Elm for one! And then I found World Market. A good looking table...check! At a relatively fair price...check! After looking at their catalogue, it probably took me 3 minutes to make up my mind about buying one. But before I went to the store to purchase the table, I made sure to sign up for their World Market Explorer program so I could get a 10% coupon. After printing out the coupon, I was out the door and on my way. Although I only had one goal in mind, it's so easy to get distracted by all the modern furnitures and decorations in there. While I was waiting for an employee to get the table from the back, I unconsciously wandered over to the picnic bench area and before I knew it, it had been 5 minutes! Poor employee who was probably holding my table wondering where I had gone. To anyone looking for interior decoration ideas, World Market is the place for you! I didn't browse their food and wine selections, but I bet they're just as interesting! read more

"Oh man, pier one, err, i mean world market sure is full of imports." I think those were my first words when i entered the store. It was really all i could think of. I went looking for furniture, a chair, maybe a desk or something. I found all of these things, but i couldnt afford any of them. I ended up leaving with an extension cord that you can plug a light bulb into. It was a futile attempt at living beyond my means. World market is pretty big, think spaghetti warehouse emptied out and filled with wicker shit. The best part of world market is their booze. They have make your own six pack sets just like Whip-in. They have delicious mini kegs, and wine or saki if youre feeling "fancy." I wouldnt put it past myself to go back to world market if i ever felt like i needed paper lanterns or papier mache masks of Ganesh, and when that day comes... Ill be there in a heartbeat. World market is pier one, but for hipsters. Good beer, slightly pricey room filler. Three stars. read more

Crack. I come here thinking I need one thing and walk out with a basket full of decor/housewares/crazy foreign food/wine/rugs/etc. I love World Market and avoid it because I know how hard it is to control myself with so many cute items that would be perfect in my house and YEAH! they're on sale! Don't get me started on the European candy and cookies. For me World Market's strong suit are the little things. The interesting items you set on a shelf or hang on the wall, hoping someone will ask "Where did you get that?" And you can ramble on about some amazing, life-changing trip to China/India/Africa where you saved the life of a small child and their family gave you this item as a token of thanks. Well, maybe not, but if you like these types of items, World Market has you covered. They also have cute curtains and glass ware. Like I said, this place is crack. If you enter here, be prepared to leave with much more than you intended. read more

We just bought a rug here and it was fantastic. We looked around the day before when we were in getting wine and signed up to be a World Market member. The next day we returned after measuring out and deciding the rug must be ours. It was 50% off and we had just received a 10% off coupon as a new World Market member. However, we had forgotten the coupon - but no problem, just pulled it up on the old iphone and they gave us 10% off the 50% off price! Now I have a nice new rug under my feet that was super cheap to boot! read more

WOW what amazing people! We came from a 3 day long trip from California and had a coupon that was about to expire, in the hastle of getting to our new hours, dropping off the Uhaul and unloading the car from the trailer, it was almost time for Cost Plus World Market to close! I called 15 minutes before they were going to close and begged them to let us buy a dining table that was on sale and use the coupon that was about to expire. Elisa answered the phone and was so kind! We came in 2 minutes before they were going to close, chose a table and some chairs. She was so helpful and cheerful! We know how crapy it is when you're about to close and people take their time shopping.... but I have never felt so comfortable! She reassured us that it was ok... they don't work on commission and she was still so kind! Definitely souther hospitality! THANK YOU SO MUCH for your patience and knowledge on helping us get the best dining room table with a great discount!!!! read more

We love this place, best selection of sugar free syrups got snow vines, hot or cold coffee drinks, low carb snacks. We find interesting sauces and mixes and spices...one of the few places for marzipan junkies. read more

If I had written this review, oh, say about 5 years ago, I wouldn't be as glowing as I am today. I used to have a love-hate relationship with World Market because EVERYTHING was so dang expensive. Fast forward to today. Now, they have a rewards program, coupons readily available in the newspapers, and clearance items that aren't completely falling apart. Yes, the rest of the store can still be expensive, but they have gotten better in the past few years with making their items more affordable. So in regards to this particular location- I actually prefer coming to this one over the one closer to my neighborhood in Sunset Valley. The layout of this location is done fairly well, with food goods directly in the back, wine in the corner, and dining/kitchen stuff on one side. There are also furniture and decor areas, but I mainly like to go and oogle in the kitchen and dining areas. Surprisingly so, their glassware and kitchen jars/canisters are on the cheap end- with some products starting around $.99. I always know I'll come across a cheap jar or two if I need one. I also enjoy the variety of shapes and sizes of different items such as glassware, bakeware, kitchen tools, etc. Sometimes you can get good deals on item sets. They make great housewarming gifts if you don't know what to get someone. Who wouldn't love a wok set or a box of Indian spices? In addition to out-of-country market items, they also have a good representation of American goods. With Mardi Gras season, they have a variety of hot sauces and candies often found in Louisiana. They also have Texas themed goods from time to time which can be fun to share with out-of-towners. The staff at this location are a friendly bunch. The only downside is that sometimes there can be 1-2 people at the registers at a time and there's always a line- but that's not much of a complaint that should keep you away from the store. read more

I really like World Market. It make things from all over the world, tables, chairs, wardrobes to food and wine. When it comes to expense, I don't think it is too bad. Some of the things in there seem to be priced good, others seem to be prices way too high. But I guess that is a little of "one man's trash.. is another man's treasure". The nice thing, being from England I know I can come here and stock up on REAL chocolate and tea. read more

After reading the other reviews I just had to defend one of my favorite places for wine purchases! Their wine prices are very competitive with that of even Spec's. And their selection is better than one would even think, they have a good amount of Californians and plenty of Italians and French. They also have a good amount of Australians and New Zealands. They are even starting to branch out to have some Greek, Austrians, and a few others. Their furniture is pretty excellent as well. Excellent quality wood that is not cheaply made. My dining set has lasted me years with no scuffs or scratches (as much as accidents do happen). Plus the nick-knacks at that store are always fun to look at and sometimes buy. And the staff at this store are some of the friendliest in all of Austin stores. Just ask for a manager named Lukas, he can help you with anything at that store. read more
