    Beautiful store displays
    Myrna S.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    I had looked for standing room dividers or floor dividers for some time and found the perfect ones at Cost Plus.

When we moved, we did not bring much furniture and then disposed of everything when we started construction, so we needed to furnish an entire house from the ground up. We are both architects and simple and classic is our vibe, so after checking out the more traditional furniture stores in Reno, we headed over to Scandanavian Designs to find our people. We could not be more grateful that we connected with Hannah on our first visit. The sales people are so helpful at Scandanavian Designs; they have a ton of knowledge with no pressure. We have been back at least a half-dozen times, sometimes to buy and sometimes just looking. Always greeted with the same smiles and welcome. To date we have purchased a complete living room (2 sofas, coffee table, end tables, storage unit, shelves, Stressless recliner and ottoman, game table and 2 chairs), dining room (table and 8 chairs), kitchen counter stools, and primary bedroom (bed and nightstands). Everything to date has been delivered as promised in excellent condition and the delivery crew is a joy to work with. The value we've received has far exceeded the price paid. We will likely be back for more accessory pieces and lamps, and will look again at the rugs and pillows. In fact we may also furnish our guest bedroom through Scandanavian Designs even though that was not on the original list for new purchases. We just love the design and quality of the pieces and also love working with Hannah in putting together the orders.

    If there were a 4.5 score, this would be a 4.5 review. The showroom is in a beautiful setting right…read morein the middle of the old post office down town. It is open, bright, and the old architecture adds to the grandeur of the store. I went in with my folks to look for some replacement furniture. They have been frustrated because the vast majority of living / family room furniture is all about being aesthetically pleasing. Most of it is built to look good but not necessarily feel good or be comfortable. As senior citizens they use living / family room furniture more than I ever did in all of the living rooms in all of the houses I have owned over the years. We sat down with Katie who was patient, well informed, and friendly. We also had a chance to talk with Natalia and meet James in the delivery department. Katie was able to find some comfortable looking, well made pieces at reasonable prices that were in the thousands and not tens of thousands of dollars. Their shipping and delivery is probably the best feature of their practice as it is a personal experience that is handled with care. It seems like their typical clients are probably more skewed to the tens of thousands of dollar orders, it was nice to see them give the same service and attention. We hope the best for Paloma as they embody what a family owned local business should be. Especially as the national furniture mass merchandisers keep polluting our area with less service, less quality, and less buy in on the local's shopping experience.

    Amazing!!!!! Such a luxurious, locally owned place in Reno hosting events and offering spectacular…read morepieces, with wonderful customer service for what you need. From the moment I walked in, I knew I would LOVE this place!
