Wawa

I give WaWa a 4 star based on the type of establishment it is. They are fairly new to the FL area but I’ve known them from South Jersey. Gas is always the best in town and there coffee is the bomb. I recently discovered I like their sub sandwiches better than Subway or Firehouse.

WAWA is NOT a gas station that serves food. It started as a deli, that slowly evolved into having gas stations as well. Their food is excellent, and they have options for everyone… Healthy, unhealthy, and everything in between. We tried the panini at this location and it was dee-​lish! I’m a proud WAWA advocate, and I’m do glad they’re making their way down south!

This location has a couple of serious issues…
1.Frequent just warm coffee and/​or out-​of-​coffee.
2. Incomplete sandwiches as ordered (i.e. missing lettuce, tomato, mayo, etc.)
We’ve known about and have been using various WaWa’s since the early ’70’s.
There is no reason for either of these issues.
Other than that, it is excellent, hence the 3-​star rating.
We’ll be back.

I love Wawa! I admit it! Their coffee is amazing and don’t get me started on Hoagiefest! Anyway, I’m pleasantly surprised that Wawa has made its way down south to Florida. While I was paying for my coffee, I struck up a conversation with the cashier, who just happened to be originally from my area, but moved down to Florida a few years ago. She seemed so happy to be there and was super friendly. Back at home, I have to deal with mostly grumpy cashiers at my local Wawa… and god forbid you try to strike up a conversation with them! Guess it must be all that sunshine down there, that makes everyone so happy! By the way, to my homies in Philly, the Florida Wawa’s carry Tastycake’s too!

I love this wawa. I would consider myself a regular haha. All the employees are super friendly, but today Andrew (customer service assistant) helped my boyfriend get his perfect sub with his more than helpful assistance. He had such a great attitude and was willing to make this experience a great one.

This is the Wawa closest to my office. I run in during lunch or when I have morning or afternoon breaks. The service is fast and friendly. As with any Wawa, the coffee is abundant and good and the subs are fresh and made to order. I’m a big crushed ice fan, so them having your choice of crushed or cubed is perfect for me. A cup of ice is free, which makes it even better!

I am VERY happy to say that this Wawa has found their groove and cleaned up their act. I now experience the same great service that I receive at my favorite Pinellas Park location. The food has also improved and is mostly up to par. I did order a buffalo chicken focaccia pizza at this location that was almost all bread and very little sauce. I’ve ordered the same pizza at other locations and it was amazing. However, other items that I have ordered here were much better.
The biggest thing that was lacking and has now improved this location is the service. I can now make a quick, pleasant trip inside and come out with food, an iced pumpkin chai latte (delicious!!) and still have time to get back to work and eat on my lunch. Kudos to the manager.

Wawa is the best in town. The hoagies, soft pretzles and tasty cakes are awesome! The breakfast sandwiches are the best! Love this place!

Wawa is my go-​to gas station. The gas pricing is very competitive and usually the lowest. I also like how they are open 24 hours a day and have a wonderful sub shop. I usually get a sub when they are on sale like they are currently for hoagie fest. I also really like the cookies and cream frozen beverage, which is similar to a blizzard. I’ve had lots of other typical gas station things like coffees and cappuccinos that I have enjoyed also.
I also love the free air! That is so convenient for tires and beach floats.

I am so happy that we finally got a Wawa’s in this area, and now they are building them everywhere!
They have a nice selection of food choices that you can make to order inside. The food is pretty good, nothing GREAT, but can you really expect amazing food from a gas station?
They have a nice seating area outside that you can enjoy it and enjoy the weather at the same time!
It’s nice to have multiple gas stations on one big intersection because I feel like they all challenge each other to lower the price about 6 to 8 cents per gallon less than just a few miles up the road!
Either way, it’s a convenient place to get in and out of if you are in a hurry. Overall I am glad that they opened up and will continue to go there for gas and snacks if need be!

Many gas stations in the area, but this is the one we will choose.
The gas pumps were clean and the price of gas was the same, when comparing to the other gas stations. I do like the ethanol free gas they offer at this location.
The bathrooms were clean and smelled good. The store was neat and shelves stocked.
We did not get a chance to eat anything, just a quick pit stop.

WAWAAAA ~!!
I live right down the road from all the gas stations, and I was super duper excited to see a Wawa being built here. I was even more excited when it finally opened.
There’s three other gas stations located on a small stretch of Ulmerton: Rally’s, Thornton’s, and Racetrac down towards 66^th. Even though I live closer to Racetrac I will choose to drive that extra block to turn into Wawa.
Why? Well, I’m so glad you asked!
1) Gas. 95% of the time Wawa has the lowest price in its neighborhood. That is one of the main attractions. But unlike other gas stations, it doesn’t end there!
2) Food service. I personally think that this is Wawa’s main source of revenue. Order from a touch screen menu, customize your order to your liking, receive your bill to pay, and wait for your delicious food. It’s really cool and convenient, and if you haven’t eaten at Wawa’s yet, I most definitely recommend it. They serve breakfast, lunch, smoothies, coffee drinks, and more. You can even sit outside and enjoy your meal before getting back on the road.
3) FREE AIR. Need to fill up your tires? Go here. Seriously.
4) Convenience. If you don’t feel like ordering hot food, they have make-​ready hot foods next to the registers, relatively healthy cold foods in the center, and fountain drinks, bottled beverages, and other snacks ready for the taking. Of course, the prices for these items are similar to other convenience stores, but Wawa designs its interiors so cleverly that it’s almost to attractive to deny. They also sell cigarettes.
Seriously, make way for the new kid in town. Wawa is here to stay.

Finally, Wawa has entered the Largo area. It now joins the three other gas stations on or near the intersections of Ulmerton and Starkey Rds.
As many of us know Wawa is much more than just a gas station. It is the «Cadillac» of service/​convenience/​gas stores to hit our Tampa Bay market.
The upscale electronic touch pad makes ordering a snap. The food menu is quite extensive too. Starting with the breakfast hoagies, bowls, and burrito’s. To the hot food menu that has some item changes every day. Nine different soups, and of course the hoagies (6 and 10 inch), sandwiches, clubs, and quesadilla’s. Top all this off with freshly made smoothies, hot or iced lattes, or pour your own hot coffees, and you have an all you need food stop.
Oh yes, they sell gas here too!
So why would I rate a «gas station» 5 stars? Because «there’s no place like Wawa!»
