Multiple publications, from the NY Post to The East Carolinian, have covered the rise in popularity (and even quality) of this type of food in recent years. And, Wawa is leading the pack, with sources such as Forbes reporting that U.S. consumers have named it the country's most loved convenience store.

So, if you're new to this chain or are looking to try something different next time you stop by, what can you get on the Wawa secret menu? From rainbow-hued bagels to decadent milkshakes and custom pizzas, we've got the low-down on the 17 best Wawa secret menu items!

Does Wawa Have a Secret Menu?

Yes, Wawa has a secret menu. However, most of the Wawa secret menu is not official. The brand did launch a few items on an official secret menu in 2018, but it appears as though this is no longer accessible.

To try and find the official Wawa secret menu, go to the self-serve kiosk, tap the Wawa goose logo, and see if the secret menu opens. If it does, order the Wawa off-menu items you would like via the kiosk. 

If this isn't available, you will need to ask for your desired Wawa secret menu items, using the 'How To Order' guides below. But be aware that the staff might not be able to fulfill your hidden menu request. 

The 17 Best Wawa Secret Menu Items

1. Strawberry Jalapeño Lemonade

You may be wondering, how spicy can a lemonade get? But trust us when we say that this isn't your average grocery store lemonade. The heat from the jalapeños adds an unexpected twist, making each sip a thrilling experience.

It's not over-the-top spicy, though. The strawberry's sweetness excellently counters the spiciness, while the lemon from the lemonade adds a welcome hit of tartness, ensuring a delightful balance in every gulp. 

And the best part? This is a secret menu item that flies under the radar, so you'll feel like a true Wawa insider when you order it! If limited edition jalapeño syrup isn't available, you could add fresh or pickled sliced jalapeños to get a similar flavor profile.  

How To Order

  • Strawberry Lemonade
  • Jalapeño Syrup

Customization

We also loved this Wawa secret menu hack when paired with lemonades like strawberry dragonfruit and mango passionfruit.

Strawberry frozen lemonade is another great choice and can even be topped with whipped cream and jalapeño slices to best mimic the official Wawa secret menu version that was discontinued.

2. Red Bull Infusions

For those seeking an extra jolt of energy, Wawa's secret menu offers a titillating selection of Red Bull-infused beverages. Imagine your favorite coffee, smoothie or lemonade with the invigorating kick of Red Bull.

While unlikely to be considered the healthiest energy drink, this Wawa off-menu beverage is a perfect pick-me-up for long road trips or late-night study sessions. All you need to do is purchase the regular menu beverage of your choice and a Red Bull and then mix them.

The flavor is up to you, but we find that original Red Bull is the best energy drink to go for, as it pairs with almost all base beverages. We also think that Red Bull Tropical or other fruity flavors are delicious when paired with lemonade. 

How To Order

  • Drink of Your Choice
  • Red Bull

A Note on Caffeine 

If opting for another caffeinated drink, such as coffee, keep an eye on the total amount of caffeine in the beverage, as it could creep above the recommended maximum of 400 milligrams of caffeine per day, as outlined by the FDA.

We recommend opting for non-caffeinated base drinks, using decaf coffee or adding just a little Red Bull to an already caffeinated beverage. 

A Note on Sugar

Pairing Red Bull with a drink that already contains added sugar may also push your sugar consumption into an unhealthy amount. To minimize this risk, opt for sugar-free Red Bull or a base beverage without much (or any) added sugar.

As a guideline, the American Heart Association suggests no more than 36 grams of added sugar for men or 25 grams for women per day.

3. Tidal Blast Recharger

If you're looking for Red Bull infusions inspiration, this is one of our favorite options. It combines an Island Surf Recharger, which is a lemonade and blue raspberry flavor, with Red Bull. For the latter, Original or Tropical Red Bull are our go-tos for this Wawa secret menu beverage.

With the potential to create a beverage with around 300 milligrams of caffeine, this Wawa secret menu drink will give a major energy boost while tasting sweeter and more unique than coffee.

How To Order

  • Island Surf Recharger
  • Red Bull

Customization

If you've tried this Wawa off-menu item before, we suggest switching Island Surf for The Galaxy to get a fruity hit of dragonfruit alongside blue raspberry and lemonade. 

A Note on Caffeine 

As noted above, this drink will be very caffeinated as both beverages have caffeine. The total caffeine content will be around 185 milligrams to 300 milligrams, depending on the size of Red Bull and Recharger you combine.

Limit caffeine (and sugar) by using a splash of Red Bull and opting for the smallest Recharger poured into a large cup to make room for the Red Bull.

4. Good Luck Mint Smoothie

Experience a refreshing blend of chocolate and mint with the Good Luck Mint Smoothie from Wawa's secret menu. This delicious beverage is more than just a drink;  it's an experience, a lucky charm wrapped in chocolate and mint.

While a mint smoothie has made its way to the regular Wawa menu, previously available around St. Patrick's Day, you can still elevate this smoothie some more by adding chocolate cookies and extra whipped cream.

You can usually get a super green Shamrock shake version around the March holiday, but the regular mint works well the rest of the year. 

The funnest part? Pick up some rainbow sour candy and add pieces on top of the whipped cream! 

How To Order

  • Mint Cream Smoothie
  • Chocolate Cookie Pieces
  • Whipped Cream
  • Rainbow Sour Strips

5. Fang-o Mango Smoothie

The Fang-o Mango Smoothie is another seasonal treat that appeared on the official Wawa's secret menu. However, this can also be ordered almost any time of the year if you know how. 

This Halloween treat starts with some chocolate sauce drizzled around the inside of a clear cup. Then, mango smoothie is poured into the cup, with a pool of strawberry sauce added on top.

In some locations, the official seasonal item also had chocolate fangs on top; however, you'll likely have to forgo this finishing touch if ordering a Fang-o Mango Smoothie from the Wawa secret menu today. 

How To Order

  • Chocolate Sauce
  • Mango Smoothie
  • Strawberry Sauce

6. Graveyard Smash

A Halloween icon, Wawa's secret menu Graveyard Smash is a chillingly delicious dessert. This chocolatey shake is topped with whipped cream, crushed cookies and gummy worms. It’s an indulgence that perfectly captures the spooky spirit of the season.

Like with many items in this Wawa secret menu guide, you may be able to get this hidden Halloween food at self-serve kiosks by clicking the logo for the secret menu. It will likely be available(if available) during October. 

If not on the seasonal menu, you can get something similar by ordering a chocolate shake with chocolate sauce. Next, add whipped cream and chocolate cookie pieces on top. Finish the creation by buying a bag of gummy worms and adding a handful on top for a treat that's as nostalgic as it is tasty. 

To get something closer to childhood favorite dirt pudding, simply omit the whipped cream. 

How To Order

  • Chocolate Milkshake
  • Chocolate Sauce
  • Cookie Pieces
  • Gummy Worms
  • Whipped Cream

7. Franken-Mint Macchiato

Embrace the spirit of mad science with the Franken-Mint Macchiato from the Wawa secret menu. This espresso-based beverage is infused with a refreshing burst of mint and topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and cookie crumbles.

While being able to order by name is only possible during Halloween, you should be able to create a custom drink to get something similar. If you can get your hands on it, this delightful twist on a classic macchiato is sure to electrify your taste buds!

If you want this custom beverage without coffee, grab a Mint Cookies and Cream Smoothie from the regular menu.

How To Order

  • Mocha Macchiato
  • Mint Syrup
  • Whipped Cream
  • Chocolate Sauce
  • Cookie Crumbs

or

  • Mocha Mint Latte
  • Whipped Cream
  • Chocolate Sauce
  • Cookie Crumbs

8. Swedish Fish Blue Splash Lemonade

For a unique twist on a classic beverage, try the Swedish Fish Blue Splash lemonade from Wawa's secret menu. Once on the official Wawa secret menu, this drink combines the fun of the popular snack with refreshing blue raspberry lemonade. 

It's a magical fusion that’s as delightful to drink as it is to look at! Plus, it's super customizable.

While the classic is blue raspberry lemonade with classic red Swedish Fish, you can opt for seasonal or limited edition Swedish Fish and a different flavor of lemonade. There's also a version that pairs Swedish Fish with blue raspberry frozen lemonade and a dollop of whipped cream, which is our favorite iteration.  

You may be able to request this in-store, and the staff will add a few candies, but you will likely have to buy a bag of Swedish Fish and add them yourself. 

How To Order

  • Blue Raspberry Lemonade
  • Swedish Fish 

9. Sour Patch Kids Soda

This Wawa secret menu item is similar to the Swedish Fish version, but with your favorite Sour Patch Kids flavors used as the candy. With so many flavors available, you can get really creative with this Wawa hack.

Plus, we thought that these "sour then sweet" candies taste great paired with a range of drinks, from regular and frozen lemonades to iced green tea to caffeinated Refreshers and Rechargers.

You can even mirror your drink on your favorite Sour Patch flavors, opting for the likes of blue raspberry, cherry or watermelon syrups. 

How To Order

  • Drink of Your Choice, like:
    • Lemonade
    • Frozen Lemonade
    • Iced Green Tea
    • Wawa Refresher
    • Wawa Recharger
  • Sour Patch Kids

10. Custom Sourdough Melt 

Wawa's secret menu isn't just about sweet treats — it's also a playground for savory delights, such as personalized sandwiches with all your favorite fillings. 

Ordering a sourdough melt via the Wawa hidden menu allows you to build your own sandwich with your choice of ingredients, which are melted with cheese between two slices of sourdough bread.

From classic grilled cheese to more adventurous combinations, request a custom sourdough melt and unleash your culinary creativity!

How To Order

11. Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese Sandwich 

Another of our favorite custom orders at Wawa, this sandwich takes sourdough bread, pulled pork and a side of mac and cheese, plus a little extra barbecue sauce, and combines them all into one decadent BBQ-lovers' dream.

You can ask for the sandwich to be toasted a little — which we recommend — but you may need to add the mac and cheese yourself. Even if you have to DIY this Wawa secret menu sandwich a little, it's well worth it!

How To Order

  • Sourdough Bread
  • Pulled Pork
  • Mac and Cheese 
  • Barbecue Sauce

12. Quesadilla Creations

Similar to the custom sourdough melt sandwiches mentioned above, this Wawa secret menu hack allows you to create the quesadilla of your dreams! You could mix and match ingredients to create a Philly cheesesteak quesadilla or perhaps a Buffalo chicken with blue cheese delight. 

And, you don't just have to stick to ingredients featured in regular menu quesadillas. Ingredients used in sandwiches, burritos or wraps, as well as side dishes, are all fair game. 

With the power vested in you by Wawa, you can whip up a concoction that combines everything you love about food in one delicious, melty masterpiece. So, get your creative culinary hats on and let taste be your guide with each bite of your personalized quesadilla creation from Wawa’s secret menu.

13. DIY Flatbread or Pizza

Wawa's secret menu has even more custom savory options! This hack involves creating a pizza or flatbread just to your liking. 

Flatbread pizza is no longer available; however, you should be able to make a similar crispy and light pizza using a tortilla wrap as the base. Simply ask for cheese and the toppings of your choice and then request it be grilled. 

DIY pizza is a little bit easier. All you have to do is choose the pizza of your choice — which could be a simple base of cheese pizza — then add all the extra toppings you desire.

From classic combinations to bold flavor fusions, the possibilities are endless with this Wawa secret menu hack. We especially love adding mac and cheese to cheese pizza, but go for whatever combo of ingredients takes your fancy. 

How To Order

  • Pizza of Your Choice
  • Extra Toppings of Your Choice

14. Breakfast Hoagie Bonanza

If you've been reading through the other list items and started wondering, "Does Wawa have a secret menu for breakfast?", the answer is yes! There are a few Wawa secret menu items that can be enjoyed as your first meal of the day, like the Breakfast Hoagie Bonanza.

While the official menu offers a variety of breakfast hoagies, the Wawa secret menu takes things to the next level by allowing you to customize your unique creation.

From adding extra sausage, bacon or cheese to making use of breakfast burrito fillings like fresh salsa, avocado or spicy jalapeño ranch, the possibilities are endless. Simply request one of three regular menu breakfast hoagie bases and let your morning cravings guide you in terms of extra ingredients. 

How To Order

  • Breakfast Hoagie of Your Choice
  • Fillings of Your Choice

Customization

If Wawa hoagies aren't your thing, you can take a similar approach with any of the best fast food breakfast sandwiches on the regular menu. With the Wawa secret menu, you can customize breakfast paninis as well as bagel, biscuit, French toast or croissant sandwiches just to your liking.

This custom ordering option using a bagel or panini is also a great for anyone looking for healthy gas station snacks, as you can control exactly what goes inside the sandwich and put priority on lean proteins, healthy fats and lots of vegetables.

15. Siptopia Sensation

Wawa's secret menu offers a true Siptopia Sensation! This limited-time promotion allows you to indulge in any 16-ounce beverage, from cold brew coffee to frozen smoothies, for a mere $1.99.

Inquire about the promotion at the kiosk and treat yourself to a spectacular drink at a great price. But remember that this is not always available and is only around for a limited time when offered.

How To Order: Ask staff if the Siptopia Sensation deal is live and then choose your 16-ounce beverage for just $1.99.

16. Birthday Cake Milkshake

Celebrate any day like it's your birthday with Wawa's secret menu birthday cake milkshake! This creamy blend of vanilla milkshake, buttery cake flavoring and rainbow sprinkles is a nostalgic delight.

If desired, this Wawa secret menu milkshake can also come with whipped cream and even more rainbow sprinkles. While you're in-store, see if Wawa is among the many places that offer free birthday food; you might even be able to get a Wawa secret menu birthday cake milkshake for free.

So, how do you get it? The birthday cake milkshake at Wawa may be available via the official secret menu at the self-serve kiosk. However, you will probably have to request a custom milkshake to get a taste. 

If you love strawberry cake for your birthday, you could also add strawberry purée to the classic Birthday Cake Smoothie when creating a custom order. Do note that, as birthday cake-flavored items are generally limited edition, the store may not have the flavoring required to make this Wawa secret menu order. 

How To Order

  • Vanilla Milkshake
  • Birthday Cake Flavoring
  • Strawberry Purée (optional)
  • Rainbow Sprinkles
  • Whipped Cream

17. Rainbow Bagel

Discover a colorful and delicious treat when ordering Wawa's secret menu Rainbow Bagel. This vibrant bagel is as tasty as it is visually stunning and is ideal for those who love to showcase their eats on their social media platforms. 

This Wawa off-menu item was part of the official secret menu in 2018. Therefore, it may not be available. But, there's no harm in asking! 

How To Order: Tap the Wawa goose logo on the self-service kiosk to check if the secret menu is available. If so, simply order the Rainbow Bagel.

If Rainbow Bagels aren't clearly available, ask the staff if this Wawa secret menu item is still on offer, but be prepared that it probably isn't.
