Wawa — Restaurant in Jacksonville

Aight bro sit back and crack a cold one this is a long one.

So I was at a hotel where they happened to be doing interviews for Wawa and by pure happenstance I got on an elevator with one of the men doing to interviewing. I had seen these shirts that said Wawa wondering around the hotel for a couple days and finally I asked. “What in Gods name is a Wawa?”. The man started explaining. Admittedly I did not listen to most of it but eventually I said “Oh so it’s just a gas station”. Bro you’d of thought I called his momma fat. He looked at me taken back and said “Oh no! It’s much more than a gas station”. He then proceeded to explain why it was in fact more than a gas station. Admittedly I again didn’t really listen to much that he said because I can’t take someone seriously that’s being legit passionate about a gas station right now. So a couple weeks pass the Wawa those people were training for opens and everyone at my work goes absolutely bat crazy. I suddenly began seeing Wawa bags in the trash everyday. I’m like dang bro I need to check this out but I don’t. Finally yesterday I walk in to the break room and said “Alright guys what am I eating for lunch today” and no lie collectively 3 people (out of 5-6) said “Wawa!”..... I’m like okayyyy I guess I’m eating gas station food for lunch today. Bro! The stories are true this place is fantastic! I could take my kids here! I don’t even have kids but I’ll go rent some just to experience this place! And they take Apple Pay!! Bro! I paid for my gas with my face!! (#iPhoneXCrew) This place is all kinds of hella dope yo. Food is good gas is cheap and FREE air! (There’s other things but you know rule of thirds for comedy) (I was in no way paid for this review but you can check me out on the Instagrams...

Totally not planned, but I ended up at Wawa on opening day. It's a unique place. I kind of went for the hype to check it out and I kind of went to buy my boyfriend a sandwich. I was surprised that they have specialty drinks too. So of course I had to get a chocolate one and see if it could compare to a Starbucks mocha frappe, which is my favorite of all time. So! Here is my review... First off you don't order your sandwiches from a person. You go up to a little kiosk, kind of like at Panera and pick out whatever you want. They make it to order and then call your number over a loudspeaker. You pay at the regular check out. If you want a combo with chips and a drink you go pick it off of the regular convenience store shelf yourself and take it up to the register. The specialty drinks are also ordered on the kiosk. The sandwiches are kind of basic. I would say it was a little small. Smaller than what you would get at Subway or Jersey Mike's. There's something about mocha fraps from Starbucks, the Wawa equivalent had the crunchy ice and had the chocolatey flavor but I think there was no coffee in it so it didn't quite hit the spot. The store was of course very clean. It's brand new. And the attendants were friendly. That girl needed to calm down on the loudspeaker though, she was sounding like a circus clown. LOL! Overall it was a good experience and I would come back there again. Boyfriend loved the sandwich, so it...

Not only did I get the cheapest gas in the neighborhood, but I scored a delicious hot sub from their Deli as well. All bread is baked fresh daily in store. They have 6 touchscreens for ordering food. When you are finished ordering, take you ticket to the counter and pay for your food. With at least 8 kinds of coffee, a Coca-Cola Freestyle, and freezer case upon case of bottled soda, water, and beer, the options have to be in the millions. They also have a great selection of potato chips from UTZ, to Mountain River, to your standard Frito Lay potato fare. They also have a case of fresh baked sweets including donuts, cinnamon buns, eclairs, etc. Goes great with the huge selection of coffee. WaWa has an APP, so you can order ahead. You'll need to pick up a WaWa gift card to use the online ordering. A little disappointed that you just can't pay via Visa / MC / Amex, but HEY! The food is really good and every WaWa I've been to is super clean and super consistent. My favorites are the Roast Beef, Spinach and Fontana Panini, and the Meatball Sub is a delectable indulgence. WaWa is Great 24 hour breakfast, lunch. Dinner, midnight snack, addition to the...
