Wawa

First off, the employee making my sandwich was so focused on talking to a coworker that I felt doing her job came second. Secondly, because she was not paying much attention, she put the hot sauce and ranch dressing ON THE BREAD instead of on the chicken. The very definition of buffalo chicken is that it is coated in hot sauce… Needless to say I was very irritated and surprised by the poor food I was sold. I could have thrown $ 5 in a paper shredder and it would have brought me more joy than eating this sandwich.

I love Wawa with a passion, but I don’t know what happened with this store. It’s cramped and dingey and doesn’t seem to have all the amenities of the other stores.
And once someone’s blood was all over my cookie wrapper (which I threw out)…I don’t know, I guess they cut their hand slicing onions? Either way, that’s pretty gross.
But, you know, it’s Wawa. It’s still amazing. I’m just keeping an eye out on my food (although I feel like that was just a freak accident… or I hope).

I’m not sure how I’d function without this place. From a pre-​ball game hoagie to a late night snack, this Wawa has been there for me more times than I can even count.
Aside from the obvious convenience and the fact that they sell their legendary, made to order hoagies (what up Hoagiefest!!), they are pretty much standard otherwise. The service and product availability is pretty much hit or miss. Sometimes they are really slow or can be out of a basic item. With that being said, they still sell a bazillion things so I’ve never left empty handed.
I ordered the avocado extra on my hoagie last night and was a little bummed that it was an avocado spread and not fresh chunks of avocado, and they went extremely skimpy on it, but what can you do. The rest of the sandwich came out as ordered and hit the spot.
The convenience factor is unbelievable but I could do without the parking lot. Due to the nature of a convenience store, the cars are coming and going like ping pong balls. As a result the intersection by the Wawa is clogged up frequently. Like most Wawas, expect a wait on the weekends during the late night/​early morning hours. Add extra time for Party of the Parkway and Made in America.
Regardless of any issues I’m a proud, Wawa-​loving Philadelphian.

I get it. It’s a WaWa. It’s a convenience store. But no, I’m not from Philly, so I assumed it would be on par with a 7-​Eleven. But g’damn, that’s a good sub. If you like Subway, this is like Subway on steroids — meaning that yes, it’s not the most elevated sandwich, but between fresh yeasty bread, you’ve got some decent quality meat with all the toppings you’ll ever need. All for around $ 5. Seriously — I’m addicted to their subs. And I’m not ashamed.

This place is always packed. Great service and clean. Coffee is cheap and good. To go orders are pretty quick. Meatball sandwiches here are great. Cashiers are super friendly and nice. Parking here is hectic. Lol. Find one and you’ll be happy, leaving.

I love Wawa! I’m not from Pennsylvania, so I was just visiting and was told about these gas stations. Two of the things they are best known for are their fresh deli sandwiches and milkshakes. You choose/​make your deli sandwich electronically via a touch screen, submit, and they make it for you right then and there behind the counter. Take it to the cash register and pay! Fast, easy, and tasty; they have a ton of different options (more than just sandwiches too). The milkshake station is cool because you pick you flavor, then choose the degree of thickness you’d like, peel of the lid and stick the shake in the machine, and the machine mixes it up for you! Fun (:
This particular Wawa is a good size, has fresh food available (fruit, yogurt, premade sandwiches and snacks). The parking can be a little tricky, small front parking lot, but more likely to use metered street parking.

This wawa is a little small but its the city so there limited space its just nice to have one so close by. Plus it has 2 atms which is nice since lets face it a lot of people go to wawa just to use the atm.

My neighborhood wawa.
The failure to have mac and cheese always at the ready is a big downfall. The inside isn’t always the cleanest, and if you’ve been to this location when it is rainy heavily, you know it renders one of the doors useless as it basically floods the area just inside the doors.
I don’t believe I’ve ever experienced horrible attitudes here, but they certainly haven’t been the epitome of friendly. Reciprocated smiles/“good mornings” are appreciated, just sayinnnnnnn.

Great store to grab things you need! Quick coffee to go or grab a breakfast sandwich. It can get very busy in this store. I went there once and they were limiting how many people could enter so there was a line down the street. Otherwise very quick and easy convenience store.

I’ve come here a quite few times now, and it’s usually after 11pm, which is when Wawa’s overnight shift starts. This particular Wawa really needs to hire some extra people for overnight, because whenever the one older lady (her name starts with an A) is making sandwiches at the deli, it takes forever for her to get to the next number. She does not work at any quick pace whatsoever.
What she needs behind that counter during busy rushes is someone to help her when crowds start building up. Though she also needs to listen. Right this moment, as I’m typing, she yelled my number twice when I told her that it was me, and I don’t even know why she called it… My food isn’t ready yet. Hmm.
Anyway, the general complaint here is that they need to hire more people for overnight, and a staff with a better sense of urgency. Because nothing’s getting done fast.

As much as I love Wawa, I gotta take 2 stars off. It’s almost always understaffed and doesn’t always have what I’m looking for. Other than that, we’re in business.

I’ve been through many wawa’s in life and this one is pretty much the norm. Mediocre service in a never too clean state with it’s collection of bums out front attempting to hold open the door for you in the chance for change. All in all a good place to get a hoagie after a night of boozing, but no place for a date. And that’s how wawa’s should be.

I wouldn’t be where I am in life without Wawa. I owe it all to you, Sir (or Madam) W. My late night hungers, binge eating after a night of mayhem, early morning coffee/​tea, turkey sammich, hot bowl with mac&cheese, chicken noodle soup, cheap iced tea… you name it, I’ve fallen under your greatness so many times. I was able to maintain the cursed body type of mine since 2001(got my first car that year).
Now. I know this Wawa is somewhat small but I could have cared less. I can walk there from my apartment and I love it. BUT how come you don’t serve pumpkin latte? Why? I’m one of the devoted Wawa worshippers who checks
AND friends with you on Facebook. Why were you teasing me with all these advertisements of pumpkin latte for the season and not have it at ALL of your locations? Why?
I just want you to know that I was so furious that I almost thought about going to Starbucks for some pumpkin spice latte and I normally avoid that place at all times.
You still get 3 stars.
P. S. if you don’t feel like reading above, the point of this review is that this Wawa does not have pumpkin latte but is still great.

Although the conveinence of this location can not be beat, the bums outside are a major detractor. I live right down the street in a well lit and relatively safe neighborhood. However, approaching the area/​corner that wawa is located instantly makes me feel unsafe. With a police station right next door, it’s hard to imagine why this does not change. No matter what time, day or night, I go there, there are numerous bums asking for change and loitering. Not that i walk around a lot late at night, but the need for a midnight aspirin or candy run is better left until morning.

Considering the fact there is a police station next door, there is a regular group of people that are out front asking for change. Also, the people that work there don’t seem to like their jobs. Then again, they are working at a WAWA, so I empathize. Or is it sympathize? Well whatever, there are sandwiches and cheap smokes, and that’s why I shop there. That’s worth a 3, right?

The only good one stop shop the area has to offer. That is if you don’t mind occasional rude staff and being hit up for change every time you enter and exit. Other then that they have every modern food and drink convenience readily available to ya for reasonable prices. It’s your run of the mill city wawa nothing special to write home about. If only the cops next door could keep the bums at bay it wouldn’t be such a pain in the ass coming and going.

Fairmount
Although the staff here is not the friendliest, it received high marks on my Wawa Tour ’09 because of two things:
1. Its exterior shape is conducive to loitering. Somehow, this Wawa’s sidewalk, parking lot, and vestibule are designed such that loitering out front is comfortable and easy. I have loitered here several times. True, the bums loiter here as well, but if you’re waiting for friends to get their sandwiches, it’s a comfortable Wawa to be waiting around.
2. Once, in the winter, I saw the cops from the police station next door having a snowball fight out in the street.

Wawa is a necessary evil. I have a love/​hate relationship with it, but all in all we are lucky it’s still here. The cigs, sodas and water bottles are there when we need them.
A quart of milk.
Some sliced Mango (really) and in a pinch, a wrap. (Blech.)
Glad to have you nearby, Wawa. Wish you had more parking. The spots are nearly always full.

What with all the Wawa closings in Center City, we here in the Art Museum area are lucky.
Our Wawa is not only relatively clean, but also safe. This is due to the police station located, literally, directly next door. I don’t see how this location is not doing good business, there usually so many people in there.
I have had some ornery cashiers, but for the most part the workers there are pretty nice. I have even witnessed some disturbingly bubbly employees at this Wawa, highly unusual.
They make good sandwiches and now they carry everyone’s favorite sugar fix– Vitaminwater.

How jealous was I to look at the long list of Wawa locations in Unilocal and weigh carefully which one I would review– there are so many! Oh, you frivolous Philadelphians!!! You don’t realize how lucky you are– how good you have it! Alas, the wonder that is Wawa has not come to New York. In fact, New York has everything under the sun now (just finally got our first Trader Joe’s last year) except for my beloved Wawa– and you just can’t get a damn good hoagie here!
This Wawa should technically loose a star for it’s mayhem parking structure, which is annoying at best, and crazy making at worst (be prepared to be made crazy!) I left it at 5 stars though, because technically it’s got all the other ingredients that make Wawa the premier institution that it is—
The deli counter machine is so great– it’s like a slot machine that rolls out a yummy hoagie! It is exact and precise, and Wawa always offers consistency!
Also, there is the Oregan Chai Latte (from the Cappucino machine)– that and a small hit of low fat french vanilla cappucino– well, it’s like crack in a cup– highly addictive, and the moment I feel it coursing through my veins I’m already excited for the next one!
Wawa’s own line of juices and ice teas are wonderful, the soft pretzels are so classic, and best of all are the prices– managable for the lay woman!
Please come to New York, Wawa! Please, oh pretty please!!!
With a hoagie on top!
