    5/24/25 FYI. So many unique flavors.
    Lee D.

    Time for an update. Today this is my go-to relaxing place while my wife shops next door at Nordstroms, lol. We are also regular customers at your Oakland, CA location in Jack London Square. Quality/Quantity - Back in the day, this was my go-to place for exotic wines, beers, and bulk candy. Now this is the place where my daughter likes to try different drinks, beers. We spend much of our time in the unique wine department. I now check out all the international food as I have discovered it is much easier just buying it from here than trying to haul it back from overseas! Atmosphere - Cut and pasted "from the business" on Yelp because I would NOT do a good job describing this company: "Eye-catching, trend-setting home accents, an awe-inspiring array of international foods/wines & and much more..." "beauty & excitement of global bazaars." Plenty of mall parking. Service - Good. But mostly self service. And after browsing the aisles, I am usually found in the furniture/patio furniture area sitting and Yelping, lol. Price - Items sold at cost, plus ten percent; this was the Costco's model at one time. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1958 with your 240 locations. Also, nice that your headquarters is in Alameda, CA, which is also my stomping grounds. :)

    I appreciate that this place is still open. I do love going in and looking at all the different things. It's like a cultural experience just going there. Sometimes I like to pretend I'm not in Nevada. I specifically come here for the crepe mix. Hard to find, priced well at 7.99 and excellent. Go get yourself a 20$ crepe maker off Amazon. It will change your life. The cashier was super mellow very attentive and helped me with their rewards program. Store was clean. I couldn't ask for more. No line on a Sat evening.

    Beautiful store displays

    I love occasionally visiting this store because they have such an eclectic inventory. The time we visited, the store was having a Easter Egg Hunt promotion inside the store; sadly, we didn't find any or stopped looking for them after a while because we actually stated shopping around for the stuff we went in there for. After a few minutes, we bought a couple of snacks; the ladies at the registers were very efficient, they were quickly ringing up customers, so even though the line was long, it moved pretty quickly. Overall, we had another enjoyable visit to World Market.

    In my younger days, in another life, World Market browsing and shopping was a regular event. Love to look at the "Imported" goods. It was fun browsing and looking at the furniture, indoor and outdoor. Employees are friendly and helpful. Store was busy in a weekend. I also looked at the foods. They have an assortment of snacks, and baking mixes. I also looked at the different small appliances that they had in the "kitchenwares"

    I just want ask what's up with the lack of smiles and eye contact with employees? Absolutely zero from our cashier and watched the of staff - same thing?? It was creepy as my daughter said. Do you lose your holiday bonus or is it bet? Part of employment contract - " must not smile at customers! " Anybody smiles they lose? Please answer if so! I wish this was a one time thing but almost all stores seem to have similar energy. I love this store otherwise. Great products and prices. My go to for gifts , Christmas or otherwise. And the fun food categories are so fantastic. Great place to explore other countries unusual food.

    I've never been to the World Market before but we went in there for a cake and ran into the food bar. My partner and I stared at each other after we looked at the food and we instantly wanted to eat it. We were confused on the process but the employees there were very friendly and walked us through. After we paid the good price for the amount, we began eating and to be honest my expectations weren't high but it surprised me on how good the food is. The vegetables were really nice and the meat was really tasty and tender. Definitely would come back because I saw the coffee shop there and I would love to try that

    For dependable seasonal, ever changing furniture, food, drinks, soaps, housewares, stationery and decorations. Its always fun exploring whats available, the imported items and foodstuffs. Lots of things from Asia and Europe. They do a great job keeping food items within expiration dates. Love the discounts for day-after seasonal items. Love the mini help yourself coffee sample. Lots of parking.

They do not use the bar code scanners each price put in individually and then sale price deducted. Make sure you watch the clerk. You will never have clear isles. They are always moving stock and changing the shelves. Good and bad experiences with it. Seasonal items are not just in one section so you have to walk the entire store ...(marketing trick).

After sitting in line for 10 minutes, the next lane over opens up. Instead of taking the next person in line, which was me, they took everybody behind me, so I had to sit there and still wait for the smooth-brained mouthbreather in front of me to figure out that the flowers that she was holding in her hand weren't actually on sale. It took her another two minutes to decide whether to buy them or not, by which time everybody that had been behind me in line had purchased and left. In the land of manners, you take the next person in line, he's been waiting the longest. But not here, because "Thag no count." Well done, Hobby lobby. As always.

    I had such an amazing experience in Urban Scout! I had never been before but saw an ad on…read moreInstagram. I was specifically looking for a rattlesnake calathea and wasn't having much luck finding one. I reached out to Urban Scout and they had 2 in stock so I asked if he could hold on until 4 pm(about 6 hours after I reached out). I show up at 4 and Ken was working. I mentioned I had reached out about the Calathea and he instantly pulled it out from behind the register. Soooo nice! I was an environmental major in college, and I also collect house plants so the world of plants is super important and exciting to me. Ken was nice enough to not only show me around, but told me a bunch of cool facts about all these plants that I never even knew existed (such as, the rattlesnake calathea spreads out in the day time when its receiving light and will become more vertical as the sun goes down!) I went into the store looking for one specific plant and ended up leaving with 4! The service was enough to keep me coming back until the end of time! I had a great time learning new things and checking out all the beautiful plants. Ken gave me advice on some plant care for the new plants I picked up, and was very enthusiastic with me. This was extra cool because as I mentioned, this field is really important to me and it was totally inspiring to see someone share the same passion. The prices are very reasonable, and honestly lower than a lot of the other speciality plant stores in Reno. I'll 100% be back!

The prices range, so be prepared to spend some time walking through and seeing all they have to offer.

I check them out every couple of months because they rotate stock and have new things to admire. Great job! Check it out!
