Wawa Food Markets

The worst wawa I have ever been to. Everything is just placed somewhere. Not organized at all for you to be able to go in get what you need and get out. And what really made this wawa my least favorite was the staff. They look like they’re dying to get out of there and don’t even want to communicate with the customers so no you wouldn’t ask anything from them. The lady who made my smoothie forgot to leave her bad attitude home.

Come for the coffee — stay for the music.
I’m not kidding about that. I love this Wawa. I only go first thing in the morning, and it’s a really fun way to start the day — the folks who work there or go there early in the morning are (almost) always friendly, and the music ALWAYS makes me smile. I don’t know if it’s some particular radio station that’s on or if some Gen-​X manager has decided to craft their favorite mix, but at 7:30am it’s a party and it’s awesome.

All I wanted was a buffalo chicken cheesesteak. So much so that I walked 5 minutes each way in the rain for it. Missing the buffalo…(This was a few weeks ago. It just posted. Yes I’m petty.)

Their bagels are pretty good and reasonably priced. Avoid the overpriced prepared food at the island in the middle, though it’s better than nothing in a rush. The lines by the register vary wildly, however. The employees are working hard — it’s just they often only have one register open. The new soda machines are well stocked.

I went into this Wawa because my friend had to use the ATM. The music was slightly louder than normal, but I like it that way! Two associates were having fun at work, and I mean than they were working on what I think was a hot cocoa machine and just danced it out for a little. It was such a fun moment, but you’d probably have had to be there! In that brief moment, my entire perception of Wawa culture was lifted and a fond memory of a truly good time was made. I’m giving a 5 because the people were in awesome moods and made me feel welcome. Thanks!

As far as Wawa goes, this is one of the more poorly service ones I’ve been to.
Yes, it’s a busy one because it’s in the middle of Penn campus, but that does not excuse it for poor service. I frequent the one in Center City that gets SLAMMED during lunch, and they are quick, fast, efficient and friendly (see my other review). In contrast, this one at 2am was decently busy with drunk college students which yes I understand can be annoying, but they’re still paying customers right. The other night wasn’t even that busy maybe. 10 to 15 ppl in the store total? Took about 15 minutes for my order. When the order was announced, the employee would just yell out the numbers and throw it on the counter without checking the ticket. Long story short, another girl took my order because he threw both of ours on the top at the same time without checking our tickets. I assume since it was so busy and he was just rushing. I always check my order, and i opened it realizing it was not mine. He goes «the other girl must have took yours». Okay … and what. So you want me to take hers? I asked him to re-​make it please. And give me attitude? Homie it’s not my fault a drunk idiot took my order. I wasn’t blaming you, but if you’re going to give me attitude it IS your job to check the tickets instead of throwing orders out the window.
As far as service today — I enjoyed our cashier, she was very patient with getting the manager to approve some Marlboro promotion for free vap pens and cartridges.
Overall, it’s a Wawa. But some of the employees at this location could use another course in customer service.

Pretty busy location so don’t stop if you’re on a time limit. Satisfying Wawa experience. I will also say it’s also pretty easy to miss if you’re not paying attention. It doesn’t look like a Wawa initially from some vantage points on the street.

I love this Wawa, great location. I’ve never had to wait an excessively long time for my sandwich orders, though specialty coffee orders can be slow. Tip: if you can swing it, come in before 11:30 to order your sandwich to avoid the 12 – 1:30 PM lunch rush.
My only suggestion would be to offer more bagel sandwiches and to have the option to customize bagels beyond just cream cheese.

Wawa has pretty much everything you could want, especially at 3 in the morning. Such a convenient location, especially if you live in the quad and the fact that they are open ²⁴⁄₇ is a lifesaver. From the thrill of using the touch screen to place your order to the f’real shakes, Wawa is just the best place to get everything you need.

This Wawa is allegedly the highest grossing Wawa in the country. The reason for this is because it’s right next to Penn’s biggest freshman dorm, and it’s open 24 hours. If you come here on a weekend night, there will be an abundance of drunk college kids, and you will have to wait a very long time to get any food. They usually don’t have enough staff to keep up with the higher demand either.
But apart from that, Wawa is an amazing convenience store. They have a great selection of custom made food ranging from hoagies & sandwiches to frozen beverages to mac & cheese to quesadillas. Most of it isn’t amazing, but it’s really good when you’re starving and need something cheap and filling. I also love Wawa’s self service milkshakes. They of course also have the usual snacks and beverages of a regular convenience store.

There are two times that I go to Wawa — lunchtimes, and «I need a sandwich for all these beers I already drank» times.
For lunch times, Wawa at 38^th and Spruce gets a solid 4 stars. Quick service, they never mess up orders, and you can get outta there in less than 10 minutes. Awesome.
If it’s after last call though… abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
Seriously. I dunno who manages the shifts here, but they’ve got to get more people working after last call. You’re on a college campus. Big bucks are to be made selling jerks like me sandwiches and munchies at 2:30 AM.
Multiple times, I’ve come in here, alone or with friends, and had to wait at least 30 minutes for even one of us to get something as simple as chicken strips over mac and cheese.
Even if you want to just grab something pre-​made (and you don’t, at 2 in the morning, when everything pre-​made is now almost a day old), you’ll be waiting in line to check out for at least 10 minutes because of all the people complaining about how long their food is taking.
I love Wawa so much, that I keep forgetting that «hey, let’s get some god damn Wawa» after 2 AM is ALWAYS a bad idea, and I keep making the same mistake.
For that, I give it two stars. Average them out, and this place is a solid three.

The staff is appalling. I came here and waited 5 minutes while employees spoke of their sexcapades and wouldn’t ring me up. I walked out leaving my sandwich I was so annoyed. I’m glad they are open again, I just wish they hired better help.

Newly updated. This wawa has great food, great service and all that you need! Parking sucks. Had a great Italian hoagie yesterday.

Wawa equals happiness, that’s all you really need to know.
Stayed at the Sheraton while visiting Philly and I can not tell you how excited I was when I saw a Wawa across the street.
The hoagies are awesome, the coffee is great, hazelnut coffee with hazelnut cream yes please, and the the Wawa iced tea is the best. Bought a quart to take home with me because its just that good.
Overall, I obviously love all things Wawa, def a great spot.

Wawa is what it is. A convenient store that has an array of options.
The prices are reasonable. Their food is only okay though. I’ve had their sandwiches a few times. My biggest gripe is I do not like their tomatoes. I think they freeze them and as a result they are always a little hard. I could be wrong about the reason, but they are hard none-​the-​less.
They also have a few pre-​made hot items. The hot dogs are okay. But it’s hard to mess up a hot dog. They hot breakfast sandwiches and snack items are below average. Cheap and quick but so not worth it.
Go hear for a candy bar, drink, or other package snack item. Don’t go here for anything that’s actually prepared by them. It’s just not that good.

This Wawa has an almost mythical status among Penn students, probably because of its 24-​hour opening and proximity to the campus. Many a Penn student will rave about this place but the truth is that it’s only ok and nothing special. Anyone who tells you otherwise has either been brainwashed by the ‘Wawa is the best’ culture or really needs to get out of University City more.
Wawa does have a few good things going for it — the opening hours are, well, constant, the coffee is inexpensive (although mediocre) and they do have sandwiches made as you wait. This is a point of pride for Wawa lovers but truthfully, the sandwiches are only ok. The bread is usually noticeably stale, as others have mentioned, so be sure to get a flavorful sandwich — the meatball sub is pretty good (although I dare not ask what’s in it) and the breakfast hoagies are great when you’re starting a long day. The ready-​made sandwiches (at the other side of the store) are surprisingly good, particularly the wraps, although many varieties will be gone by 3pm. Otherwise, they have the usual stock of drinks, snacks and pricey household goods.
If you’re nearby, this is a convenient place to go, but nothing special.

As Wawas go, this one is… adequate. Some pros and cons worth considering:
1. The wait for a sandwich can be very long at lunch time, BUT they’re usually made reasonably well.
2. The cashiers are slow, BUT at least they’re not hostile.
3. The markup on the snacks is unreasonably high, BUT that’s the price you pay for convenience.
4. There are homeless people asking for money outside, BUT they (usually) won’t shout at you or follow you home.
5. It’s a Wawa, BUT… it’s a Wawa.
Also, one time I bought a pint of Ben and Jerry’s there and an old lady scolded me for «cheating.»
Yup, it’s a Wawa.

A few years after I’d been to UPenn (for a conference), I finally get to try Wawa. Brother and I stopped by for a quick breakfast.
Can I just say, I love the electronic ordering thing? There’s no way for anyone to screw up your order, because they print out directions on how to make your sandwich – including what order to put the ingredients, when to toast, etc. Their blended coffee was only ok (too icy, and the flavor was not wonderful… but it still hit the spot). Their sandwiches were tasty though (I got a ham egg and cheese… my brother got something much more complicated), and they were fairly cheap. Wish the staff was nicer, but… whatever, i’m not looking for service. Solid food, fair prices, and it’s like a block away from my brother’s place. awesome.

I go here… a lot! I really can’t beat Wawa! Coming from the Midwest, all I knew before was 7−11… but Wawa takes the cake.
You can get made-​to-​order delicious subs, cold soft drinks, and even make your own verion of a DQ Blizzard right here in Wawa.
I usually hit up the breakfast specials, which consist of a bagels or croissant sandwich, hashbrowns, coffees, etc… its constantly changing but always yummy (lets just say there’s no calories in this meal?)!
Oh — How could I forget to mention — the coffee bar! They have about 8 different kinds of always-​freshly-​brewed coffee… and plenty of sweeteners, flavors, and milk-​ish products to add into the mix. YUM.

I have to say, I saw this before the renovation, and I still like the new one but not as much as the old layout.
I remember subsisting on the chicken sandwiches here for a week when the food carts were mysteriously absent from campus for a bit in one summer. And the 24 – 7 store also was my favorite place to pick up some Wawa Peach or Green Iced Tea in the half-​gallon size.
You have touch-​screens now to make your food.
Oh, the hot dogs — only so-​so. The make-​your-​own slushie, very good.
The fruit salad and breakfast foods never really appealed to me, but the pretzels were cheap in the morning.
A place to grab a quick bite to eat. And some other random supplies for college students.
