This was my first time visiting a WaWa, a place that I heard about on TikTok, and that seemed to be quite a favorite amongst East coasters. I was impressed by the apparent freshness of all of the food options. I was also pleasantly greeted by the workers! I ended up just studying a coffee, and I really enjoyed being able to for my own milk at the coffee bar. It is a little bit on the hectic side with all of the self service that you can do, but it is quite easy to get in and out if you have a mission in mind. read more

A long way from California but an Italian Hoagie, pretzel, & coffee from Wawa made for a terrific first meal in Philly. Service was quick and cashier was nice & greeted us with a smile. Well done Wawa! read more

The food is really good. I love their hoagies. they're like the best gas station in the world and they're better than Bucky just wished the best experience with better. With uncle Rob. read more

ordered on Doordash I got blue taikis and I looked in the bag there was rodents and it smelled like booty I'm suing you guys then I went to the Wawa and complained he proceeded to call me fat. I would have gave 0 stars read more

The meatball hoagie is a must-have, and it only came out to ~$10. Wait time on a Saturday evening was quick (less than 10 min). The hoagie was less saucey than other Wawa meatball hoagies I've had in the past but I'll forgive it. Would order the exact same thing again. Minus the tomatoes though, idk why I added them this time around. read more

Wawa - Convenience Stores Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

good not bad pretty good and like there are frozen stuff which is alright but the drinks weren't the best atleast for me than everyone else.

I recently went to Philly because I wanted a good cheesesteak. Tony Luke's was alright but I think Wawa was a lot better value for the money. We don't have Wawa in NY so I really wanted to see if the hoagies were as good as I read about. This particular Wawa in the UPenn area was pretty nondescript. Inside it looked like a bigger and better version of 7-11. I ended up getting an Italian hero because it seemed pretty basic and a good baseline for the Wawa experience. I got it with a little bit of oil and vinegar. It was the 10 inch version and the total came out to $7.01. I was blown away by the price because I don't think you can find a full Italian hero in NY for less than like $10 minimum. Of course you can't compare Wawa to a genuine Italian hero but still. I took the hoagie to a nearby Panera Bread and ate it there. The hoagie wasn't the biggest sub ever, but it was decently sized. I believe they put ham and salami in there along with lettuce, onions, and provolone. The experience of eating this thing was pretty interesting. Because there is nothing really special about the hoagie and it's far from the best sandwich ever. However, it was just so solid for the price. There was nothing spectacular about the hoagie, but also nothing glaringly offensive about it either. All in all, it was a really enjoyable eat. The bread was fairly chewy. The cold cuts were pretty tasty. The provolone went well with the cold cuts. The hoagie was just so easy to continue biting into. After I finished it I had a bigass smile on my face. I was so happy with my Wawa hoagie that I stopped off at another Wawa on my way home and got a 6 inch Meatball hoagie ($4.89 total). That was also pretty solid too. I also got a medium coffee ($1.65) and 2 kit kats for $2. I'm definitely a huge fan of Wawa now. read more

See all

found a hair in my sandwich today. dealbreaker ! will NEVER go back. yikes. with how many times this has happened to me overall, i seriously think its time to start cooking at home. very sad, cause i loved me a wawa hoagie. ugh. never again. read more

I just love wawa. My go to meal is the macaroni and cheese with mashed potatoes and chicken strips. It's a great place to pick up a quick breakfast. Unbelievable hash browns. Service is usually nice, the food comes out in reasonable time. Warm and fairly priced. Best day is free coffee day though. Any size. Self service. read more

Wawa - Convenience Stores Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Spent 4 dollars 50 cent on a black and white milkshake and they took 20 minutes, didn't include whipped cream which is what I specifically asked for, and on top of that gave me a small latte cup instead of a 16 fl oz milkshake cup. read more

Hello. We purchased our meals last night from the 36th & Chestnut location. Ticket number 485. My wife makes amazing meals but we decided to stop there after our Kelly Drive walk. Imagine our surprise after longing for chicken quesadillas oozing with gooey goodness only to find goo. The tortillas were uncooked/untoasted, the chicken was undone and the bacon was soggy. Wife tried to salvage hers bug putting it in the toaster oven but then she just felt sick and lie faint in the middle of the living room floor. We love Wawa. The lemon muffin with the perfect dollop of cream ever so tastefully placed in the center...the sweet cream cheese of a warm stuffed pretzel...We just wanted that same sensation last night. Something enjoyable, which we did not receive. read more

Wawa - a display of food items in a store - Convenience Stores Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Another great Wawa. Wawa is known for its above '& beyond abilities to serve people better than another gas station. Wawa is more than that. The store is clean and well kept. Products are where they're supposed to be on the shelves. Wawa has great subs too. You're able to customize what you want on the sandwiches and if you want them hot or cold. Great place. read more

Wawa - Great candy selection - Convenience Stores Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Okay, Wawa is actually really good. The sandwiches are better than most chain shops like JJs, Subway, etc. and excellently toasted. They are also pretty cheap and don't forget about free coffee day and all the other deals they have. The oreo flurricane is on another level. If you have ever been disappointed in a Mcflurry as I have, this is the order for you. The flurricane is everything a Mcflurry ever wanted to be. Loaded with oreos and well-mixed, Mcflurries can only dream of becoming flurricanes. They are also huge- while they cost about as much as a Mcflurry, they are over twice the size I want to say. Overall: Break up with your partner? Flurricane. Rough exam? Flurricane. Want an ice cream dessert? Flurricane. Dissapointed by Mcds? Flurricane. The only thing the flurricane cannot do is bring my grandparents back. read more

Weird layout which makes lunch time a struggle! Outdated machines so scanning gift cards on my cell phone is impossible, so I hold up the line having to type it in. My BLT was made poorly, with ingredients falling out and spread unevenly, but the tomatoes and lettuce are fresh so there's that. The chicken noodle soup has a good flavor, but the pasta in it is pretty bland and not a great texture, plus the chicken breast has a weird texture. Wawa has been slipping, or maybe I'm just growing out of it! read more

great the food couldn't have been better everything was fantastic I was so happy with the service

This is a prime location and super convenient. It does tend to get pretty packed for breakfast and lunch times. The wait can sometimes be long depending on what time of day you go in. The service is OK but the selection of snacks and drinks is great. My food always has what I ordered in it but I can't say much about presentation and neatness. Wawa will always be bae lol Candy selection is amazing, drink selection is vast. For breakfast they always have breakfast sandwiches and hashbrowns by the registers; lunch time you'll find bagel sandwiches and a variety of chicken things. Coffee is always fresh, the coffee station is always fully packed. For breakfast I'm usually getting a breakfast burrito, it's very tasty. read more

Wawa - Breakfast burrito - Convenience Stores Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My first time using Grub Hub via Yelp, to place an order for pickup. The sandwich was made exactly has ordered and ready before the allotted time. The staff was busy with many orders so I'm glad I cut line by ordering on-line! read more

This Wawa location is very busy in the morning, but the staff handles the volume very well. You can really see them acting as a team, and one of the ladies at the cash register is like the store mom. Service is with a smile, and I am in, out, and on my way in a matter of minutes. The workers seem happy despite the hustle. The coffee is fresh, and the usual selection of Wawa goods is available. As a native to the area, I love Wawa, and this location is no exception. read more

A clean Wawa in a very convenient location. They have the usual convenience store foods and drinks, plus other things such as freshly made sandwiches, quesadillas, Mac N cheese (which I got), donuts, milkshakes, and flurries. They also have decently priced good quality bananas and other fruit. The mac and cheese is decent for late night cravings, but it definitely tasted like the cheese was made from a powder. The milkshake was thick and smooth, and a good buy. read more

I come here all the time and I am 10 years old and this is my choice of what I like to eat and now I don't know if I want my mom to take me here anymore because I ordered a classic hoagie and I got from them sweet peppers and red bell peppers I don't know if this will be my choice next time for dinner. thank you read more

Convenient location, but overcrowded most of the time. Coffee is always fresh and snacks seem well stocked. Sometimes feels understaffed, especially at checkout. Lines can take a while when there's only 1 cashier open. read more

I used to pop in here almost every day for breakfast or lunch during one summer where I worked just next door. There's always a line in the morning and at lunchtime from all the university staff and students in the area, but the service is swift and the food is pretty tolerable. Prices aren't horrible, either, for being in University City. Favorite drink from here has always been the Wawa Green Iced Tea... could drink that in the half-gallons it came in! Mac and beef is always a good option, and the thick homestyle chicken noodle was good, too. The hot sandwiches under the heat lamps... avoid those. Get your sandwiches freshly done. I liked the ability to order your custom sandwiches and soups, etc. at the touch screens. And they're fairly generous with portions. Fresh Philly soft pretzels in the morning, too. read more

3604 Chestnut Wawa, you've really worked on your game. I dunno if I caught you in a bad couple of years last time I reviewed, but you are now my Wawa of choice for when I've had six too many and want my Italian with everything on it, plus pepperoni. Good on you. read more

This Wawa is very convenient for Penn students and people who work at the medical school. Like most Wawa's, it offers a lot of coffee options (most of them are the cheapest in University City) and food options. This is usually my goto place for late night eats since it is normally fast, cheap, and consistent. What I will say is during busy times it can take a while for your food to be made, so it may not be the fastest option all the time. Recently, they reorganized the place so there is more room for people to stand when waiting for orders. This definitely opens up the space that can filled with over 3-4 dozen at a busy time. Tips; I also love coming here when they offer free coffee or discount their hoagies. You can always find out what their discounts are by looking at the signs at the store fronts. read more

There were long lines for food and check out at lunchtime on a Sunday. Only 1 cashier was working! She was friendly though and trying to keep things moving as best she could. The coffee bar area was messy with a lot of trash and spilled cream everywhere. It seemed like they were just understaffed at the time. The breakfast panini I got was delicious, the bread was crispy grilled and buttery and topped with a thick slab of scrambled eggs. I ordered veggies and I just got some baby spinach, i was expecting roasted peppers or something. Coffee was fresh. They have a pumpkin spice blend for fall, which is one of my guilty pleasures -love it! read more

Was at the Penn Vet Hospital on a Sunday, limited food places that were convenient. Grabbed two custom hoagies, both shorti's ham and cheese, one with American, one Cheddar, lettuce tomato and Mayo. Easy enough? Not for the lazy sack making them. Cheddar on both, no Mayo on either. Not devastating but annoying for such an easy order. NE Philly Wawa's are much better! read more

They are rude , the cups are not near the drinks you have to go to the front to get them , when I asked a worker that was behind the counter for a cup he said he doesn't work there when he clearly was working behind the desk then I asked a women for a cup after she just walked up and gave someone a cup and she told me I had to wait in the line to receive it. Why do we have to wait in line for a cup read more

I come here more than I should. It's always packed during lunchtime, but the cashiers are friendly and the lines move quickly. Salads and sandwiches are reasonably priced and acceptably edible. I confess....I really enjoy the Turkey Bowl. Thanksgiving, wawa style. I hang my head in shame. Oh yes, free ATMs. Joy! read more

Previously working for a Wawa in New Jersey, I find the deli service to be rather slow. The three times I have gone I have waited for at least 10 minutes for my sandwich. I like the new paninis that are offered, but I wish they were more customizable. For example, if I want to make a custom panini I should be able to put pesto on it, since that is an option for pre-made paninis. The store is clean and the checkout lines are pretty fast. Also as with all Wawas there is no surcharge to use the ATM, which is clutch since I have Chase Bank. One thing that I noticed that I find uneasy regarding the composition of the store workers is that the workers are all people of color, but the store manager is white. To me, this subconsciously reinforces traditional race issues in our society between bosses and employees. read more

Hoagiefest! 6 inch 2.99 subs can't be beat. The ordering system for the hoagies may take the uninitiated by surprise at first but it is fairly intuitive. The coffee at Wawa is also extremely underrated, especially the mocha iced coffee. Wawa is the king in Philly and Southern Jersey for comfort food on the go. read more

This Wawa is packed because of its location, and thusly a little slow. I do find the staff a little rude and inefficient. Takes forever to get a hoagie in this place. However, they are the only Wawa I've encountered that offered mac and beef as a side. MAC AND BEEF. I drove around to a bunch of other Wawas on other days to try and find it, but to no avail. Even this Wawa, it seems, only had it for that one day. BRING BACK THE MAC AND BEEF. read more

Wawa is the best convenience store on this side of the Atlantic*, but this particular location is a bit lacking. I don't know if they cut a no-competition deal with Cereality or what, but their cereal offerings are limited to a single box of Cheerios hidden away on a bottom shelf. WTF, Wawa? Don't you know that cereal is one of the four student food groups? I had to trek all the way up to Fresh Grocer just to get some freaking Cinnamon Toast Crunch. *except Famima!!, which doesn't fully count as American anyway read more

Everyone loves Wawa. That's a fact. That's science. Which makes it all the more surprising that this Wawa has a lowly 3.5 star rating... Even more surprising yet is the fact that a couple of the 3 star reviews actually seem fairly laudatory. Are these reviewers comparing this University City oasis to some suburban Wawa ideal? The world may never know... I find that there is very little not to like about this Wawa. Yeah, they could stock a few more cereals and I really wish they carried Double Stuf Oreos, but they can't have everything... Because then they'd be a grocery store. I also wish that I didn't order gross sandwiches while drunk so often, but that's not exactly their fault... Though perhaps they should consider adding a confirmation page that asks, "Are you sure, dummy?" when you order something greasy and gross between midnight and 4am. Those minor quasi-complaints aside, I love this Wawa. It's always open, it's clean and brightly lit, and it has an excellent selection of Ben & Jerry's. read more

It's a Wawa so by virtue of its very existence, it already has my favor. This one is located right across the street from Vance, which gives yours truly reassurance that coffee and sandwiches will be in plentiful supply for the next 2 years - even without a company-provided Alterra brewer and Birdbath Bakery. Overall, it's your standard Wawa with decent service and all of the usual offerings. I do love the chicken salad and am very glad to see that I can now order it in platter form, with my selection of veggie toppings and condiments. Plus, Hoagiefest is now in full force! I can imagine that it is packed during the academic year but hopefully the undergrads will be back in the dining halls? Maybe... read more

Wawa is a good stop for a quick bite. Their sandwiches and wraps are actually pretty good, as are their hash browns (you can't beat 99 cents!). Even though the lines look long, they go by quickly, even during the noon lunch hour. Thank goodness this place is across the street from work! read more

I have a subconscious thing against wawa. But they're unfortunately good. Their sandwiches- amazing! BUT- the machines to order sandwiches really confuse me sometimes. holy crap. Their variety of Ben and Jerry's- unrivaled in exoticness. Reasonably priced considering it's a convenience store. Coffee more than well-priced. Some things are expensive, like convenience store novelties- jerkey, chocolate, Pirate Booty. But the main reason for this review: A.MAZ.ING. EGG NOG. Catch it in season. read more

This WaWa usually stresses me out, the space is so small, and usually filled with college students who are always in the way or rude Penn/Drexel employees. You can tell good customer service isn't a priority (or at a majority of the wawa locations in Philly). I only go into this location out of convenience. read more

This place is pretty well-run - it's always clean, they throw salt down outside when it's snowing, there's always plenty of coffee (only 79 cents for a refill if you bring your own mug), and the staff is friendly. It's a nice option for breakfast or lunch in a part of University City when you're tired of the food trucks on Market between 36th and 34th. read more

When I went to Penn, this was THE Wawa - complete with the welcoming comittee of "usual" homeless guys - the same ones day after day. They do alot of business at this well-travelled location. \Smokes, coffee, junk food, sandwiches, ice cream - everything a college kid might need at the last minute. read more
