Cost Plus World Market began in San Francisco in 1958, originally carrying a selection of handmade home furnishings that came to the San Francisco Bay from all over the world. Since then, the Cost Plus chain of stores has expanded to carry exotic wines, cheeses, coffee beans, jewelry, furniture, purses and rugs from all over the world. Be it hand-woven tapestries for your decorating or authentic Italian sodas for your fridge, Cost Plus can help add worldly accents to your home. The Mountain View location features wines of the month, new coffees to try and prepacked picnic baskets to take along on your next park outing. Whether your interest is exotic pottery, collectibles from Africa or just a great selection of chocolates -- Cost Plus brings the thrill of global bazaars back home to Mountain View.
