This review is for the World's Window and its sister store right next door (and with an entry point in the back of the store as well) The Cob Mercantile, which doesn't have its own Yelp page! I love the duology of these two stores! Anything you find at one store you can then take over to the other store to purchase, so you can browse both stores before making your final purchase! The World's Window contains products from all over the world that they have sourced globally. Meanwhile, The Cob Mercantile showcases products from local Iowan artisans! I love the dichotomy of the local and global goods and it's such a fun way to organize the two stores. We entered through The Cob Mercantile and was greeted with the friendly shop owner, who chatted to us about what the store contained and told us about World's Window too. From there, we went off shopping through all the different displays, nooks, and crannies in both stores that highlighted different goodies from different artisans throughout. There are SO many great options and variety here for yourself and gift options for all your loved ones as well! I made many mental notes on great gift options for so many of my loved ones and will definitely be back soon! The pricing is all reasonable and I love nothing more than being able to shop small! This set of stores is a must visit when you're in Cedar Falls, I love its prime location right in the heart of downtown and will definitely be stopping in every single time I come to visit from here on out!

This is an invaluable addition to our community with amazing finds that go towards great causes. I think anyone could find something they love - we visited with a big group and we all left with something we loved (ages 2, 23, 28, 49, and 70!) The employees are always very kind and the store is clean. ?

First of all, this shop is open on Sundays. I always make it a point to stop in here when I visit Cedar Falls. It seems like I always walk away with something cool. They've recently redone the store and are now adjacent to an Iowa artists collective next door. Prices are reasonable and selection is great. Friendly staff.

Really liked this little store, the staff was friendly but not intrusive. The prices were high compared to, let's say Wal-Mart, but considering that they bill themselves as a fair trade store I was expecting that. They have a good selection of all sorts of items from handmade backpacks to food. I ended up buying way more things than I was planning on and am very happy with all of it :) . Would definitely recommend.

Beautifully handcrafted items created by artisans from whatever materials are available to them. They are given a living wage for these works of art to feed, clothe, shelter and educate their children
