☕️ ☕️ Where Do You Go for Coffee on the Go? ☕️ ☕️

I stopped for coffee on the way to work this morning at, you guessed it, Wawa.

I'm guessing that, while many folks are all too familiar with Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts, there are other more regional coffee stops in your necks of the woods.

So what's your go-to coffee stop when you're out on the road?

Here in New Jersey, Wawa is a VERY popular choice for coffee, tea, reasonably cheap gasoline, cigarettes, and just about anything else a typical convenience store carries.

Wawa also does a very brisk sandwich business. You walk up to a self-serve kiosk, make your personalized selections, get your bakery ticket, and in a few minutes you have your lunchtime masterpiece.

Here's an excerpt from Wawa's about page:

Today, Wawa is your all day, every day stop for fresh, built-to-order foods, beverages, coffee, fuel services, and surcharge-free ATMs. A chain of more than 645 convenience retail stores (over 365 offering gasoline), Wawa stores are located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Central Florida. The stores offer a large fresh food service selection, including Wawa brands such as built-to-order hoagies, freshly brewed coffee, hot breakfast sandwiches, built-to-order specialty beverages, and an assortment of soups, sides and snacks.

DISCLAIMER: I don't work for Wawa or own any stock in the company, or have any vested interest in the company other than being a customer.

By the way, I got some pretty strange looks from some of the customers when they saw me snapping all these images.

The Wawa logo is very appropriate, considering how most of the state is overrun with Canadian Geese. See: How did Wawa get its name? A not-so-wild goose chase

Wawa has a pretty large footprint for a convenience store. Part of it is due to the fact that many of the Wawa locations sell gasoline. This particular Wawa has parking for well over 50 cars.

The Wawa gas prices are pretty good, certainly not the cheapest in the state, but they give you a good idea of what us Jerseyites are currently shelling out for gasoline.

New Jersey is one of the few states where it's illegal to pump your own gas.

As you can see, Wawa has a pretty decent selection of java.

And cups in sizes of 12, 16, 20, and 24 ounces. I paid $1.66 USD for a 16-ounce cup this morning: 1/2 cuban and 1/2 decaf.

Just a touch of milk. Some say it minimizes staining of your teeth. Who knows, I think I'll continue brushing and flossing them anyways ;-)

Of course they have donuts 😜

Wawa also has a selection of more healthy snacks.

And some that, well, aren't very healthy but will do in a pinch!

Ok, now it's time to checkout and head in to work ... and have another dozen cups of coffee!!!
