Let’s be honest – parents, are all looking for little wins in the daily chaos. You know what I mean: those reliable and tasty little treats that add a bit of magic to your daily routine and don’t require a three-hour cooking adventure. If you’re lucky enough to live near a Wegmans, you’ve probably discovered that this grocery store isn’t just any grocery store – it’s practically a theme park for food lovers, with some items that have reached almost mythical status among shoppers.
While pushing your cart through Wegmans (possibly with a child begging for samples or asking for the hundredth time if we’re done yet), you might have noticed the knowing nods between parents as they reach for certain items. There’s that silent understanding when you see another mom loading up on their cold brew coffee because we all know that parenting requires proper caffeination. Or that moment when you spot another dad grabbing a ready-made pizza for Friday movie night, and you both exchange that “best shortcut ever” look.
What makes certain Wegmans products achieve cult status? It’s simple: they’re the perfect combination of convenience, quality, and that magical ability to please both picky kids and tired parents. From the chocolate cake that somehow makes every birthday party better (and has saved many a last-minute celebration) to the cannoli dip that turns an ordinary playdate into something special, these aren’t just grocery items – they’re parenting helpers in disguise.
Let’s dive into the Wegmans products that have earned their stripes in the pantheon of parent-approved favorites. Whether you’re a Wegmans veteran or a curious newcomer, these items deserve their reputation – and might just make your family life a little easier and tastier.

Cannoli Dip
When I am in desperate need of a sweet treat, this is what I grab from Wegmans. Because the chips aren’t touching the cannoli filling, they stay extra crispy and you can add as much cannoli dip as you want to each bite. Their cannolis are fantastic too (especially the chocolate ones!) but I love the dip because of those extra crispy chips. I usually grab these individual cups but they sell platters that are great for parties.
Single Cannoli Dip Cup$5.79
-
Chocolate Cake
Listen, I am not even a fan of cake, but this chocolate cake is so indulgent and rich that I’m convinced it’s impossible not to love. They sell individual slices too if you just need a small sweet treat but don’t want to commit to a whole cake.
Chocolate Mini Cake$13.79
-
Cold Brew
I’m one of those annoying people who drink iced coffee even when the thermostat dips below zero. From Starbucks to La Colombe, I have tried them all and this is by far the best. It is highly acidic (sorry acid reflux sufferers), but it adds so much flavor that no other brand can come close to. They also offer seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice, coconut, and maple.
-
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is one of the things I always keep in stock in my house. I love this broth from Wegmans for sipping, soups, sauces, pasta, rice, and so much more.
-
Indulgence Cookies
These cookies truly live up to their name. They are so sweet and fudgy that I usually can’t even finish a whole cookie in one sitting. You know the creamy inside of a Lindt truffle? Now just imagine that in cookie form. They are sold in two and five-packs.
Indulgence Cookies$10.39
-
Lobster Bisque
I struggled to find ready-to-eat soups that actually taste homemade and then I started trying Wegmans’ line of in-house soups and couldn’t believe how tasty they were. I love the lobster bisque but the chicken noodle, broccoli cheddar, and chicken tortilla are also favorites in my house.
-
Potato Salad
If you’re in a pinch and need a quick dish-to-pass for that summer barbeque you were invited to, Wegmans’ premade salads are a great option. They even have variations that are heavy on the mustard side and some flavors like loaded baked potato.
-
Rotisserie Chicken
I know rotisserie chickens aren’t revolutionary, but this specific rosemary-flavored chicken from Wegmans is out-of-this-world delicious. It’s great on its own, in soups, sandwiches, and after you’ve used all the chicken, make some homemade stock with the bones! You can buy one hot if you need a main course for dinner or a chilled one if you plan on using it later.
Rosemary Rotisserie Chicken$11.49
-
Sparkling Water
Wegmans has the greatest selection of flavored sparkling water. They have unique options like ginger (my personal favorite), passionfruit, blueberry nectarine, blackberry tangerine, and even cherry pomegranate.
-
Subs
You haven’t lived until you’ve had a Wegmans sub. You need to order it with the ciabatta bread. It is life-changing. Danny’s Favorite is a popular choice but honestly, you can’t go wrong with whatever you order.
-
Sushi
I know you’re probably thinking there is no way grocery store sushi can be good, but just hear me out. Wegmans’s sushi is all made fresh in-store (usually right in front of you) and it rivals some of the fanciest restaurant sushi I have ever tried. They have a wide selection of raw, cooked, and vegetarian options so there’s something for everyone.
Shrimp Tempura Roll$10.49
-
Margherita Pizza
Tose out that overpriced Digiorno and grab one of Wegmans’ Italian Classics wood-fired pizzas instead. The flavor is unmatched and they have fun flavor options like mushroom and truffle or spicy Tuscan.
-
Mini Muffins
These are my favorite grab-and-go breakfast item. I don’t know what kind of magic Wegmans uses to keep these super moist, but it works and it works well. They have several flavor options but the blueberry ones are my favorite.
Mini Muffins, Blueberry$5.79
