Wawa Food Markets

This is my local convenience store. The place is open ²⁴⁄₇
The ATMS are no surcharge (yes!!!)
They place really, really cool music!
(OK, so I just glanced over at Simon E.‘s review of this same WaWa and he says the vibe is upbeat, and that is def. true! Friendly staff who seem happy to work there! And getting a wave in the ALWAYS packed parking lot is indeed a common occurrence.)
Gripes: Parking. I never even try to park in the front lot anymore. I either walk to WaWa, or if I am driving, I park in the back lot. Yes, WaWa has a second lot, behind the store. Almost always an open spot. Often times, there is 5 – 10 open spots back there.
Gripes continued: Often there are panhandlers. Not really WaWa’s fault, I mean we are talking Germantown Ave, in Philadelphia proper, it is a reality. There have not been any aggressive panhandlers since 2014, so this is not a concern really any longer.
Major points for:
*seasonal specialties! I look forward to autumn for the pumpkin cannoli dip and chips! I also dig the apple cider donuts and to a lesser degree the pumpkin donuts.
*Prices! Everything is reasonable! Some stuff is cheap!
*Selection! Good choice for candy, chips, snacks, healthy snacks/​protein bars, drinks, etc.
*For the MASSIVE VOLUME that the store does, the lines usually move very fast and efficiently, and 2^nd registers open up lightning fast when they are needed!
*The store is clean from my point of view. It is a busy, busy store, but I never see any mess on the floor or coffee station or food station.
I do not eat any of the hot food. Low quality, I steer clear.
For a convenience store that is open 24 hours, WaWa is awesome!
Does this one have a bathroom? I never used it, I never checked… but maybe there is no bathroom for customers there! Maybe it is around back? Hmmm. I would avoid using it anyway.
Also, this WaWa could never have gas pumps, traffic is already congested between Allens Lane and Mt. Airy Avenue along Germantown Ave. (Between WaWa and the Bank of America on the corner.)
Overall: This place is awesome based on the music selection and friendly staff working ²⁴⁄₇. This store does a lot right!

I love Wawa. But not this one. It’s dirty, it’s dirty it’s dirty! The staff are silly and immature. The place is also too small. The only reason I go in here is for the ATM. YUCK Going to the one in glenside

Here’s why I like going here: the vibe is always upbeat. Maybe because it’s always pretty packed, but it seems like I get the door held for me more often than other places and I get the polite ‘thank you’ wave in the parking lot as people are maneuvering in and out of the spaces (it’s always crowded, but I always get a space). Inside, it’s busy but the lines move.
Otherwise, it’s the usual Wawa experience, which is fine. And I like to support a company that is local to Pennsylvania. I haven’t seen any of the dirt issues that some others have flagged.

There is always a long line but they move fast be warned there is only one cashier most of the time it’s nonstop busy only cause they closed the chestnut hill location years ago as for cleanliness I never notice dirt anywhere.

This Wawa has the best newspaper selection of any local shop near me. The coffee is always hot and the news is always bad. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve sipped on my coffee while waiting on line. The cashiers are nice and the place always smells of baking rolls and crisp newsprint. Go here and get a New York Times right away (oh yeah the ATM is surcharge free).

The Wawa chain is a semi-​recent discovery for me and I generally really enjoy them. They have everything… and great coffee.
This one is one of the dirtier, ickier ones — They have a huge selection of coffee, but aside from that, everything seems a bit old, dusty, musty and yuck. I frequent here because of the location and the coffee only.
Generally speaking, Wawa is great… and their ATMs don’t have fees regardless of what bank you use! Yay!

For a wawa, this is a pretty big disgrace. I love wawa markets, I think they are some of the cleanest and best organized convenience stores in the country. This location however is not appealing in anyway.
Unfortunately, this is the closest wawa to school and the only one in the chestnut hill/​mt airy area so I’m pretty much forced into this shack, and yes it’s a shack. While being the smallest wawa ever conceived, they made it feel even more cramped by putting their useless displays everywhere and having a layout such that forces people to climb over each other to get what they need. And, it’s dirty.
I don’t know if it’s because of the sketchy clientele that passes through the store who bring in their filth and have no respect for the store, or if it’s the fact I’ve never seen anyone inside clean a single surface. Unfortunately my stress level rises with the filth.
I have never had a good sandwich from the deli which is disappointing, not to mention it takes them forever to make a simple hoagie.
Unfortunately my love for wawa makes me feel obliged to give at least a 2-​star rating. But I don’t like going into this sketchy, filthy, cramped, debacle that they call the mt airy wawa.

I’m not a philly native, so when I heard raves about a convenience store I was skeptical. I have to say their coffee is outstanding to me. Always hot and fresh. The sandwiches are good and they make them FAST. The only problem at this location is the tiny parking lot. It is always jammed, but you can park in the back. Luckily I walk there when I go most of the time. The staff does a great job of keeping the throngs of customers moving through here quickly. The touchscreen ordering is key.
I go for the coffee, pretzels and meatball subs.

Smallest Wawa I’ve been in. It’s very hard to move around depending on how many people are in the store. I also felt a little intimidated with the placement of their ATM machine because of the ghetto vibe. I give back a star for being near my college.
