The good news: they have most everything that a vending-machine diet requires. The bad news: their prepared food, such as sandwiches, etc. Their food preparers have a video screen that stipulates each food order. In two different days, the food preparer has chosen the wrong meat for a sandwich and has neglected to include an ordered extra. Both of these incidents have occurred during off-peak times when very few, if any, prepared food orders were being placed. This leads me to deduce that it's simply carelessness that has caused these errors. Once an order has been fulfilled, the screen is erased -- and there's no record of the order. Worse, your printed receipt for your order when placed at a kiosk provides only a date and order number.... No proof of what you ordered. Pointing out that my order was missing an "extra" item ordered, I was simply ignored. One other thing: the cold drinks section has had empty racks for most of this week. A part of this is likely due to the snowfall a week ago, but for the most part, the streets have been cleared and some of their provisions are being re-stocked... just not the cold drinks. Not to worry: there's a lifetime's supply of Diet Cherry Pepsi available... not that I care. read more

I'm a WaWa fan and this is a great location. It's in a very busy area of 19th street and apparently they're open 24 hours. I was staying nearby so this was super convenient. This might be one of the biggest WaWas I've ever been in. I was able to grab the few things I needed and pay via the self checkout. There were employees around who offered assistance. I would definitely come here again. read more

One of several in DC, this Wawa is perfectly located on busy 19th Street NW to serve the downtown 9-5 worker bee crowd that just wants a quick meal at a cheap price. The interior is large, clean, bright, thoughtfully planogrammed, and has plenty of seating inside (and in the warmer months outside as well). The restroom is also open to the public, no locks or codes, if you need it, yet kept clean. Their hoagies are really really delicious, customizable, and orderable strictly from the several digital kiosks. They have everything imaginable that you'd want out of a convenience store---chips, snacks, baked goods, paper goods, household items---but the prices are clearly inflated. If you're a couponer like me, you'd clutch your proverbial pearls. But it's FAST and right there, so the convenience overrides price, to an extent. I am not a Wawa fan in the way so many people are, but it's clearly significantly better than other convenient stores. I rank it right below Sheetz but many many ranks above a 7-11. read more

Wawa was always supposed to be a safe space. I suppose that is no longer true. One cold night, me and my wife came to this location, as I was not feeling well and was waiting for someone to pick us up. On the website, as well as the door, it had said that this location (as well as every other Wawa) is open 24/7. Nothing but lies, a store of lies full of LIARS. All of a sudden they announced over the loud speaker that the store would be closing, and everyone had to leave. It was not even 2am. They did not say they were closing early, but that it was their regular closing time. I was feeling very ill, and begged the employees to let us stay inside for a few more minutes to shield us from the cold as our ride was on its way, but we were betrayed. Shame. Shame on Wawa. In a time of distress they threw us into the cold to suffer. I have sworn an oath to never again give a cent of my hard earned money to this despicable business. read more

Excited to discover this Wawa now open in downtown Washington, D.C. Having grown up with Wawas in the Philly burbs as a great local convenience chain leveraging their own dairy, glad to take advantage of this spacious location that offers Wawa's fresh made-to-order sandwich selection along with other items including real Philadelphia-style (i.e., rectangular) soft pretzels. Have food prepared for you your way, ordered through Wawa's efficient touch screen displays. This store also has a self-checkout option and a section with tables for eating. With my visiting buddy who never tried a Wawa before, we saw a guy and his daughter in the Metro devouring a Wawa sandwich. He had returned to the area on a trip and had to grab a Wawa hoagie! Told my friend, we "gotta go to Wawa!" Although it was 3 hours before dinner, I couldn't pass on squeezing in a delicious "shorty" cheesesteak and he took a shorty Italian hoagie. We also grabbed a couple pretzels for later! All so good! It's so much better than any Subway or 7 Eleven! Enjoy it better than Sheetz, too! Wawa is an awesome place to stop for any fresh made-to-order hoagie or other format sandwich, breakfast to-go, snacks, and Wawa coffee or bottled drink! Check it out! Hope one day to have them open up throughout New York City, so I can enjoy Wawa when at home! read more

It's odd walking into what is essentially a gas station convenience store without the gas station portion. Don't get on me with this, but I'm more of a Sheetz person, so I only come to Wawa when there isn't a Sheetz around. I came in here because I was parched. I needed something to hold me over until I found a place to eat. And it wouldn't hurt to get a snack either. This...just doesn't feel like a Wawa. This feels like a dressed up 7-Eleven. When I think of urban convenience store, I don't think Wawa. I think of an old beat up 7-11 or a corner store in a neighborhood. When I came in here I felt like I had entered a cave. To get to the drinks, I had to walk what felt like the entirety of the building to get to the coolers. Then I had to walk all the way back towards the front to grab an appropriate snack and to check out. I couldn't get the self checkout kiosk to work for me so I had to go to a regular register. The whole time I was in here I felt a bit uneasy. Then it hit me, there was a bit of a police presence there. In my oblivious state I didn't even notice that something was going on. Come to think of it, no one else seemed to notice or care either. read more

Came in right at closing after leaving a bar across the street. Our group was loud and a little crazy ( drunk ) but all the workers were great and patient. They got us all through the line quickly and were a good laugh with all of us. read more

I absolutely love me some Wawa! Whenever I am in DC, I make sure to stop to this walkable Wawa to stock up on all my snacks and fuel up on caffeine during my business trip, its become a habit for me. The staff there provides good service, its open at all hours, the place is clean, and its always a go-to for me. There are plenty of snacks and beverages to chose from. I've ordered many hoagies, mac-and cheese, chicken strips, and mashed potatoes topped with Old Bay. I am addicted to their ice coffee! It always hits the spot. Even on the coldest of days, that iced coffee is in my hands and running through my veins. read more

Wawa - Loving that Wawa - Convenience Stores Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Always clean, always friendly, always and I do mean always have fresh food!! Great to be back at work and explore this place when I'm looking for inexpensive eats that TASTE GOOD! I do want to share that I had a very good pre-packaged caesar salad for only $6 and some change it was very filling! Exercise patience during the busier times, otherwise you will not be disappointed. read more

Wawa freaking rocks! My bf and I were looking for some quick food before we left DC and he discovered Wawa on Google maps. Once we found the place and were inside I was amazed! This place is like an upscale 7 eleven. It's probably more comparable to a Tim Horton's. We ordered our food fast and easily through the kiosks located around the store. The kiosk printed a small ticket that you then take to the counter to pay for your food. They have an array of choices of sandwiches and drinks like milkshakes, iced coffee and lattes. Besides the food made to order, there are a wide variety of snacks and drinks you can purchase throughout the store. Once we had our food we sat outside and ate. The food was delicious! I never had a convenience type store iced coffee so good and my chicken parm sandwich was the bomb. Wawa is a very clean well run establishment and I was pleased! read more

Sandwiches were delish! Went 3xs during a week business trip. The customer service was great. Many options to choose from!

Don't eat out much during lunch but when I do, it is always a pick-up order from WaWa. Each visit to this location, the "soft serve" young man at the pick-up counter is never friendly and always seems to have an attitude. I could say a few others things about him that might get me banned from yelp, but will leave it as it is. Maybe he needs customer service training or maybe the owners are ok with him/her being as they are!! read more

I normally don't leave a Yelp review for convenience stores, but my friends and I were pretty impressed with this Wawa's location (and the matcha latte with oat milk here). Overall, it was extremely clean and well-kept compared to other Wawa's I've seen, which usually looks old and crusty. This place reminds me of an upgraded 7-11 or whatever generic convenience store that comes to your mind. One of my friends got a matcha latte with oat milk (only 25 cents more than normal milk). I was skeptical at first, but the matcha latte ended up being quite good - much better than most of the matcha lattes I've tried in "legit" coffee shops. You can definitely taste the matcha in the drink and it wasn't too watery (a common problem I usually have with most matcha lattes). It also wasn't too sweet either and getting it with oat milk instead of regular milk was a solid choice. It was also less than $5 after tax for a 12 oz. drink. If I'm ever craving a matcha latte, I can trust that this Wawa's location can make a decent one. read more

An oasis when the rest of this wing of DC closes early, this Wawa has a great variety of warm, cold, and packaged options. It's always clean with friendly staff and the food always seems reasonably priced, not unreasonably expensive for a convenient spot. read more

Who doesn't love a place where they can buy 1% strawberry milk to reminisce their childhood and big eggnog all year round. This is a pretty big Wawa with indoor and outdoor seating. The star are also nice. I occasionally come for strawberry milk, snacks or eggnog. Located a short walk from the DuPont circle metro and Farragut north stop on the red line or down the street from the DuPont Circulator bus. The place is always clean when I arrive and well stocked and organized. If I'm in the area I'm more often than not willing to take a detour to purchase something I don't need but makes my belly smile. You can find childhood snacks, get a sandwich made, or buy a Wawa brand drink. Everything here is pretty good and proved well. read more

Overall this is a good wawa Today my sandwich had items on it that I didn't order I don't care for lettuce or tomatoes I got to my office to find them both on my sandwich - an easy fix. Remove them - too much of a hassle to walk all the way back from my office Yo! I don't want to hafta unwrap my food to make sure it good before I leave a crowded store BUT I'm guessing that now I will need to. read more

Wawa - I didn't ask for lettuce OR tomatoes - Convenience Stores Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Wawa is a cult and I'm not part of it. I say that to show that I am not brainwashed like every other person in DC. Nostalgia floods back when they smell the hoagies toasting or the coffee brewing inside. I am a unbiased resident who enjoys a cheap, good place to eat when I find one. I'm not part of the cult, but I am a fan. Here's why: 1) What it means for DC- This location is the first Wawa in the city of DC and continues to prove the city is booming and attracting business from across the nation...scratch that...world. It's the BIGGEST and most tech forward store in the Wawa system. Go, DC! 2) What it brings to this neighborhood- At first, I thought it was placed in a random neighborhood. It's downtown DC not quite in West End, on the Mall, or Dupont Circle. Stepping back, it's smart. It's a play to attract the downtown work crowd AND stimulate residential living nearby. 3) What the price does for your wallet- It's a glamorized 7-Eleven with better prices. They are known for their custom made hoagies. Go to one of the many computer screens and follow the instructions. A 6-inch hoagie is $2.99 and it's filling. You can't beat that! 4) What they do in terms of options- They have a coffee bar inside. They have a Coca-Cola free style machine, milk shakes, any drink you can imagine. They have flatbread. They have candy bars. They literally have anything you'd want from a gas station for the VIP. If you're looking for a cheap, good lunch or dinner option, then you MUST visit Wawa. Let is be known this location is the first in DC (others are coming!). read more

Food was terrible and service was at an all time low. I waited around 20 mins in an empty store for a cookie and a quesadilla. Meanwhile the workers were behind the counter making jokes with each other and playing games. When I got my food it was cold and the cookie was burnt. After getting a couple more items and spending around 30$ in the store I was asked to leave as I was not actively buying anything. It was 28 degrees outside and I was a paying customer?? After asking why I was being told to leave they threatened to call the cops on me and get me banned from the property. I would give it a 0/10 stars if it was an option. read more

What is not to LOVE!?? We finally brought Wawa to DC and I am highly satisfied!! Also, extra points for being right by my job! Wawa is originally from Pennsylvania and has multiple locations up and down the east coast. Wawa is also well known for their subs and hoagies. This location is currently the largest Wawa! It is located along Dunkin Donuts and has indoor seating. Upon entering you see the checkout station to your left, the coffee station to your right and the MTO station in front. This location is very well organized, with every snack stationed clearly labeled. I purchased all Wawa products. A Wawa brownie, a hot dog, and a ginger ale. Everything was great for what it was. I love gas station mystery meat hot dogs, this one was also great! If you are a Wawa fan or have never been, I highly suggest visiting this location since we now have one in DC! read more

Wawa - Convenience Stores Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Best place ever to get coffee, quick items not to mention this is a big beautiful store! They say this is the largest and based on what I know it is the largest. In the Philadelphia region I'm visiting several Wawa stores per month and it's larger than any of them. However this store does not sell gas and its in the middle of other businesses. Much to your delight you can find hoagies. sandwiches breakfast lunch and dinner. Of course they have the best coffee ever! The WiFi is a little slow but not the service! The cashiers and staff were very friendly. I'm sure they will do well as this store is in a busy part of town. read more

My first time here since they open which was recently. Their coffee is very delish and cheap $ 0.95 for a large cup. Their smoothies and hoagies are so delish and loaded with all the goodness. The store is extremly clean and spacious. The staff and customer service are kinda hit or miss thing but mostly good and nice. Will definitely come back.. read more

This Wawa is well-run, and conveniently located. I frequently stop in, and am very satisfied with my experiece. Pros: Layout: This Wawa always appears clean, and the layout makes it feel spacious. The food seletion is well organized, and you can quickly find what you need. There are self-service stations present that allow customers to order their meals quickly, specifically and with limited interaction. These are very easy to use and appea to folks with a bit of social anxiety (me... lol). Bonus points: They always play catchy pop music that is upbeat and enjoyable :) Food: The food here is always on point. I generally get veggie subs or bagels, and the food always seems fresh and seasoned perfectly. I am a picky eater, and I have negative had experiences at other Wawas, where my order has had various mistakes, however all of my orders have been perfectly created here. I enjoy the self-service coffee station at this Wawa, and also have had good experiences with the milkshakes, smoothies, ad frozen coffees that I have puchased here (See pic!) The food is consistently good and exceeds my expecations. Customer service: Employees at this Wawa are extremely friendly and helpful. They are smiley and quick to offer help at all times. Personal story time: One time my card was randomly not working (I believe it had a dent in it and could not go through the machine). After running it several times with no success, the cashier smiled at me, said "you got this, just go on", and gave me a free sandwich. It honestly made my day-- it had been a rough day for me for many reasons, and the kindness of that cashier wil not be forgotten! Drawbacks: Slower when very busy: This is an extremely busy Wawa location, especially around lunch time and also on Friday-Saturday nights on weekends. The employees do their best to move people through quickly, but due to the infux of people, there can be a bit of waiting if you go during rush times, which is to be expected. During less-busy hours, food is prepared very quickly. Tips: Be strategic about when you go to this Wawa, and you will have an excellent expereince, with no waiting. read more

For Delawareans and north, craving a hoagie in DC? There is still no hope. The bread is just not good. Capriottis didn't make it here, same reason. So I still don't see the point of this gas station/ convenience store opening throughout DC. Though again, for Delawareans and North, this is your source for HERRS potatoes chips and TASTY CAKES! But both are in the back part of store- the good stuff is in the back! Oldies but still goodies. read more

I love Wawa!! This location is DC's first and supposedly is the largest one. There is sitting indoors so that's cool! I like the grilled cheese but wish it was part of the combo options because I'd love to enjoy it with a side of soup. Oh well, I guess ordering a small cup of soup is the same thing. There are plenty of ordering screens here but wait time can still be long. I've never come in here during rush hour so I'm not sure what that's like. Most of the time I'll come here on a Sunday when downtown area ish is quieter and parking is free on the streets. Still, wait time can be a while. For the price and quality, it's still worth it. This location also has the Wawa brand cold brew which you may have seen in ads on the highway but sometimes those Wawas out in the boonies don't have them. This location always has them which makes sense ya know since it's in the middle of the hustle and bustle of down town DC. Can't wait til the Columbia heights location opens! read more

This location is conveniently open 24/7. It's a quick stop for all your late night needs. I enjoy the subs mainly the tuna and roasted Turkey subs. There's a wide variety of specialty smoothies and drinks. The coffee and cappuccinos are perfect for a quick pick me up. I love that they offer some of my fave snacks that include Herrs chips, soft pretzels and tastykakes. The parking is not ideal there's limited places to park legally. There are garages and street parking a short walk away. read more

The joker from Chicago below: uh.. GrubHub, hubba.. why do they offer sang-wiches on the app? Chicagoans never were refined culinarians. It is because this is D.C. and everyone shops, eats, peruses at Wawa, often selling stuff out in half an hour-when they have specials. This Wawa is brilliant, huge, shiny and has it all. Come inside and help yourself instead of moping around with an app in your hotel. Wawa's proficient in hoagies, slushies, beers, coolatas, chocolates, newspapers, magazines, coffee, fruit, chips, dips etc. Open 24/7. Be Wawa-ed! 4 stars read more

Love my cheap coffee. So excited to see WaWa in DC and they are doing very well and stay busy. The only challenge is that you can't make your own coffee but Jesus was phenomenal and patient in fixing our order. There are a lot of competition to grab coffee in DC but WaWa will always be dear to my heart. Ya cant go wrong with gas station coffee. They have outdoor seating but currently the indoor seating isn't allowed. read more

I would bet that most Wawas will have high stars because they are the bomb. This location is the first one I've been to that is all food no gas, and I love it! This location is a humongous store with so many screens throughout the store where you can place your order. The food, as always is fresh, using quality ingredients. No complaints here. I love that they have ample seating. It's clean. It's beautiful. Go, if you haven't yet. read more

Absolutely horrible experience at this Wawa location today. During normal operating hours the location was locked and would not allow for patrons to enter except for Uber eats delivery drivers. A worker came out and was incredibly rude when we asked if they were open? I don't understand - if you don't want to be open change your hours. read more

This is definitely not the Wawa that I've been accustomed to. Perhaps they should rename this location to Wawa Express because it's really a glorified convenience store/ deli, far from an actual grocery store. The second I walked in, the cashier barked out for me to pull up my mask and wear it properly. I know it's all for safety for everyone, but sometimes I wonder if a little bit of power and authority can influence their behavior. Everything about the store was nice though, and everyone there was nice. I ordered the sausage and scrambled egg bowl to go. I can't wait to dig into it the second I reach my office! read more

Wawa - Convenience Stores Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I suppose I kind of take Wawa for granted since I live in the MD burbs where it's everywhere. Even so, I appreciate the fact that it's only three blocks from my job and it's as epic as my locations at home. I was lucky enough to be there for its grand opening. And being the first Wawa in DC, it was BIG. How epic is it to have a bunch of staff clapping for and high fiving their customers, and listening to a live band?? Now that's how you do a welcome party! Wawa provides quite the variety of food, from fruits to salads to sandwiches to shakes to smoothies. I haven't tasted anything I disliked, and it's open 24/7, how convenient!!! It's definitely a cheaper alternative for lunch compared to surrounding food trucks and restaurants. I haven't really looked for it, but I'm sure they have that non-bank-affiliated ATM with no service charge somewhere in there. What a great place. read more

Wawa is excellent, think of it as a 7-11 with better coffee and better hot food selection. They have, candy, chips, muffins, doughnuts and pretty much any type of beverage you could think of. The Wawa is clean and much bigger on the inside than it appears from the outside. They also have indoor seating. Their sandwiches here are pretty good too, my favorite would be the buffalo chicken tender sandwich. To order sandwiches you use a touch screen device, this sandwich doesn't have the toasted option and you have to ask the staff to to toast it. The food here is fresh and the sandwiches are always loaded with a ton of meat. read more

I love that this place is open 24 hours a day and has made to order sandwiches available at 7 am, when I first visited last Saturday, on the third day it was open. It's great not to have to be stuck with breakfast options even though I opted for a sausage, egg, and cheese on a 10 inch roll, which by the way was $5.99! The place was teeming with workers, most of whom seemed busy and either preparing sandwiches or ringing up customers or cleaning or pointing customers to places and things. I hope customer service stays at this level or improves even more, which would be tough! Wawa was clean, well-lit, well-stocked, and spacious. While the usual comforts of a convenience store are offered with their shelves of snacks and drinks, the sandwiches and coffee drew folks in, especially since any size coffee was free for the first three days. As for the sandwiches, who can pass up delicious hoagie rolls, soft and chewy but hardy to house whatever combination of condiments, meats, cheeses, vegetables, etc. you want? There are restrooms in the back and seating in the front and out front. Fountain drinks come in machines where you can mix and match. There's standard, well known national brands for drinks as well as more local offerings. Breakfast sandwiches were pre-made and sitting under heaters for customers to grab and go. There were lots of donuts and muffins. read more

Im from Jersey and I'm shocked to see a Wawa on D.C.! Came here around 1:30 am for a quick snack. I got chicken salad with carrots as a healthy snack and a protein bar for back up just in case the chicken was bad. I was so pleasantly surprised that the chicken dip was fresh and tasty especially at 1:30am!!! Plus is was less than $2. Healthy and a bargain! This location is so well lit and super clean! They have such a wide selection and very inviting. The best convenient store in all D.C. Staff were friendly and helpful even in the early morning! Bonus: it's open 24/7. read more

This is a good convenience store/ lunch fast food option in Downtown DC. Right smack in the heart of the K street corridor, the location serves Wawa well in attracting daily office crowd. and people do show up for takeout everyday! There are plenty of food options available with the usual (large) selection of drink and chips to go along with the food purchase. There are plenty of self service kiosks to order food at, though the ones closer to the main area often have a line. They do have coffee and smoothie options available tho I have not tried them out yet. The price for food is very reasonable and good for the budget conscious lunchers. Checkout lines are often long and may take a few minutes to pay for your order and then you may have to wait a few minutes to pickup your food. Still, a good option for lunch in the area. read more

I got a turkey hoagie and it was pretty much NJ quality( almost). Great quality food, massive selection, and clean and unrowdy at 2 AM. Get your amazing coffee and lunch/breakfast here! read more
