Though this store is not my regular store, I was in the area so I stopped by to redeem a $5 reward that was dropped into my Rewards account. This store is located in the Bridgepoint Parkway shopping center and parking was not an issue when I was here on a Saturday afternoon. What's cool about World Market is all the things they offer. They got stuff for every room in your house, from kitchen and dining ware/utensils, bathroom accessories, furniture, curtains, rugs, décor, and gift items. They had their Christmas decorations out already. They have a nice selection of food items from around the world as they have varieties and flavors that you don't see at a regular store. There's coffee and tea and wine and beer as well. The store was clean, orderly, had a large selection of items and was well stocked. A nice World Market store to check out if you're in the area. Sign up to be a World Market Rewards member and get discounts and sometimes free products.

I'm a big fan of World Market and used to frequent the original Fremont location (@Farwell Drive. Market Broiler, theater used to be there as well) before it closed and moved to the Fremont Hub. Now, I frequent the Jack London Square and San Mateo locations with both stores consistent with products and friendly customer service. What I love about World Market: Housewares (white and clear mugs), home decor, furniture, packaged food and sauces, international food items, and teas that make great gifts or for yourself. I can honestly say items I've bought for myself I've bought as gifts as I know people will enjoy. Recent experience at this location of trying to find an item. A gentleman named Earl was extremely helpful, professional, friendly while being pulled in multiple directions by other customers. Not sure if he's a regular employee or seasonal help...either way a true professional. Also had a great experience with the cashier, Dave was equally friendly and professional while bagging my items with care and making sure I received my World Market Rewards. My lucky day! :) Plenty of lot parking and located at the Bridgepoint Parkway shopping center with Target and Hobby Lobby. Plenty of restaurant options in the area.

I always find such beautiful pieces in world market. I found these beautiful kitchen ceramics but sadly didn't end up taking one home. The mushroom jar, mushroom pot, tomato jar, strawberry jar, and lucky cat jar were so beautiful. They also had a 40% off deal! So sad I had to pass up this great opportunity

This is my favorite world market to shop in the Bay Area! The staff is welcoming and friendly. The store is clean and organized. There are variety of products and items you can pick from. This is my go to store since the area is safe and clean.

Alcohol, furniture, endless gift possibilities and import items. Something to stuff anybody's stocking. Alcohol and wine. So many unusual bottles. I liked the ones shaped like a cat statue and Chritmas tree. Another had a Dracula cape. Keep things festive and fun. I'm not sure how good the wine inside is but will find out soon. Furniture department had a smaller display section than the Oakland store but still much was there. I have a new couch on the radar and have a pressing reason to possibly update before the holidays. I'm sure many people can understand. Found some magnets that are shaped and look like gigantic human teeth. I have just the person who will appreciate that... Really only a dentist could right? I plan on possibly some light holiday baking and got some additive for whip cream to keep my peaks stiff. Can't live without these kind of things. Nobody likes saggy couches or droopy whip cream. The check out line was short but took a long time. I'm not sure what was going on with this woman clogging the register with her big shopping cart. Was she price checking or coupon shopping? I don't know.

Picture of my favorite chocolate

I came by yesterday 10/08/24 after work. I love going to this World Market. I usually shop here a few times a month. The moment I walk in I am greeted with a warm hello. They have been so consistent. I love the chocolate and other candy they carry. They have good quality chocolate and they carry nostalgic brands too. For a while one of my favorite milk chocolate marzipan wasn't available at this location, but yesterday it was there! I was as so happy. They had cute and fun Halloween decorations. I just love the different things they carry. I will be back, I have to come back and buy some gifts.

The Last One!

Couple of months ago, I ordered a custom shelf project scheduled for my mom's sewing/art room. On…read morethe day of installation, the installer informed me that the measurements were incorrect and dropped off all the shelving parts into the room, taking up the entire space and making the room unusable. We were told they would communicate with our project manager to get the correct parts. It's been a week now, and I still haven't received any ETA or update on when the new parts will be delivered. I've been told by our project manager that her manager will be reaching out to me with an update days ago, and have not heard from him/her. The lack of communication and clarity is very frustrating. Strongly advise against their custom shelving unless you have flexibility to have the room unavailable if measurements are inaccurate. I will say the store manager, April, has been very nice to work with and have no problems with the store overall, but it seems the custom shelving is a completely different department and have had no luck communicating with that department.

Couldn't have asked for a smoother and quicker transaction! I love having this store just minutes away and no longer having to drive all the way to the Palo Alto location for in-store pickups. Really glad they opened a second spot in the Peninsula.

Some of the reviews are baffling. Complaints are about routine "procedures" in every Ross I've been…read moreto, and I've been to probably 2 dozen different Ross stores. Carts cannot leave the store. Stores will only give credit for current sale price if no receipt. This is actually common at more than just Ross. 3 stars for actually having a decent amount of inventory and the sweetest loss prevention girl. The reason I am giving low stars is for the lack of safety. I understand they are closing this location down, but per staff, there has been no light in the parking lot for a year now. This is a huge safety issue for customers AND team members leaving at the end of their shift. I actually felt uncomfortable and don't usually feel like that. Can only imagine how the staff feels. Shame on the complex and store manager for not making this an issue with an unknown closure date!! Your loss prevention gal that night told me the staff has brought it up and they get ignored.

Immediately upon entry, we were singled out and subjected to prolonged and targeted surveillance without cause. While we were initially greeted by a courteous security guard, a Caucasian male employee wearing a face mask began staring at us and proceeded to follow my mother and my minor child throughout nearly every department of the store for approximately 35-40 minutes. This employee repeatedly hovered in close proximity while pretending to straighten merchandise, including in the shoe department, the Christmas section, and the men's shoe department. His actions were continuous, deliberate, and clearly focused on my family--specifically my minor child and elder mother. When we approached the checkout line, this individual positioned himself directly in the jewelry are next to the line and pretended to be on a phone call, continuing his monitoring behavior. Separately, while I shopped independently in the skincare/beauty section and moved through the girls' clothing and baby aisles, a second individual dressed in black clothing--without a shopping cart or merchandise--repeatedly circled the same areas I entered, maintaining constant visual surveillance. This conduct was intimidating, intrusive, and coordinated. At no point were we approached, questioned, or accused of any wrongdoing. We engaged in no behavior that would justify suspicion or monitoring. The only apparent basis for this treatment was our appearance. The targeted following of a minor child and her family under these circumstances constitutes discriminatory conduct and created a hostile and humiliating shopping environment. This conduct may constitute violations of, but not limited to: * California's Unruh Civil Rights Act (Civil Code §51) * California Civil Code §52.1 (Bane Act) * Federal civil rights protections prohibiting discrimination in places of public accommodation

My husband and I purchased furniture from Ana Furniture a couple of weeks ago, and I felt compelled…read moreto share what an exceptional experience we had--largely thanks to Winnie Huang. I want to start by saying that I almost never write reviews. Like many people, I usually only take the time if something goes wrong--but this experience was so overwhelmingly positive that I genuinely felt Winnie deserved recognition. I wanted others to know just how incredible she is. From the very beginning, Winnie provided truly outstanding customer service. We ran into an unexpected issue with our scheduled delivery on 4/4 when we discovered--at the last minute--that our street was going to be closed for an event. Despite the late notice, Winnie was incredibly understanding and immediately helped us reschedule for the following Tuesday without any hassle. When the furniture arrived, we realized the couch delivered was not the color we had selected. I contacted Winnie, and she responded right away with professionalism and care. She confirmed the mistake and promptly arranged for the delivery team to return the sofa and organize a replacement in the correct color within just a few days. Then, after giving it some thought overnight, we realized the sofa we originally chose was actually too large for our space. Once again, Winnie went above and beyond. She patiently listened to our concerns, sent us photos of alternative options, and encouraged us to visit the showroom to try them in person before making a decision. That extra step made all the difference--we ended up finding a sofa we loved even more, and it fit our condo perfectly. Throughout the entire process, Winnie was gracious, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure we were happy. Her level of care, patience, and attention to detail is truly rare these days. She didn't just help us purchase furniture--she made sure we found the *right* furniture for our home, and she stood by us every step of the way. This is, without a doubt, one of the best customer service experiences we've ever had. Winnie turned what could have been a stressful situation into something seamless and even enjoyable. If you're looking for furniture and want a truly exceptional, stress-free experience, I cannot recommend Ana Furniture enough--especially Winnie Huang. She is an absolute gem, and you will be in the best hands possible.

The furniture was so comfortable that my friend actually fell asleep on it while we were testing it out! The store had a great selection, and Richard really went above and beyond to make sure we found something that fit our space and style. Overall, such a great experience from start to finish -- highly recommend asking for Richard if you visit!

They were patient, thoughtful, and made the whole process feel easy and enjoyable. We originally went in to buy just a sofa, but our designer, Michelle Winter, helped us think about the bigger picture -- how everything would fit together in our space.

While we waited for our order, Michelle kept us updated every step of the way, which we really appreciated. The communication was excellent, and it made us feel taken care of. The furniture itself looks amazing -- super stylish and great quality.

She walked me through the available promotions, including how I could receive 50% credit toward future purchases in 2026 when buying a mattress--something I wouldn't have known about otherwise. Her communication was thorough, and she went above and beyond by helping me secure a refund from another mattress brand I decided not to go with. When my furniture arrived, she even called to make sure the delivery was flawless and that everything met my expectations.
