Jamba Juice

Jamba Juice is like that girl in High School who you think is your friend but is really spreading rumors and being nasty behind your back. Everything about the way it is marketed screams «healthy!». It’s probably the biggest conspiracy of the 21^st century.
I love their smoothies, especially the banana and peanut butter one. I like that you can add shots of immune booster, caffeine, etc for a small fee. What I don’t like is the calories. I have to imagine that business suffered tremendously when they were forced to post the caloric information on the menu board. I had ordered fruit smoothies for years, blissfully unaware that they contain approximately a billion calories. I thought I was being healthy. I mean, there’s a picture of a banana AND kale next to it on the menu. KALE. I don’t even know who I can trust anymore.
The staff here are hit or miss and it is moderately clean. They don’t fill up the cups all the way anymore I’ve noticed. Other than that it’s just like every other Jamba Juice.
This place is fine in moderation or as a meal replacement. But as a quick snack in the mall? Make sure you check the calories posted underneath. Or don’t. After all, ignorance can sometimes be bliss.

They didn’t want to take my order at 8:59pm. While 3 employees were waiting for 9 pm to leave. Bad for business if you ask me.
I love jumbo juice but the employees did make me very upset for not serving me. I understand I was late but they close at 9 not 8:59. Just saying
I give them a 1 star because of the employees not the products.

The worst customer service ever. I came and ordered an Aloha Pineapple smoothie. I am a huge Jamba Juice lover and have been going there since I lived in California. Jamba Juice is harder to find in the DMV area, so I usually get something when I’m in the area. I gave them a gift card to pay, and the two cashiers did not know how to put it in. The woman cashier kept trying to tell me I only had 1 cent left on the card. This was only the second time I had used the $ 25 gift card, and I knew that was not true. I tried to explain that to them, but the woman cashier’s tone was accusatory and rude. She told me the only thing she could do for me was call her manager. I was in a hurry and asked how long it would take for her to get there because I had to go and wanted to get my gift card back and leave. She told me it would only take a minute and that her manager was somewhere else in the mall. I waited while they rung up other customers and finally the manager showed up. The manager was able to put my order in and use my gift card in 5 seconds. The only thing was, the manager gave me the silent treatment the whole time and when she was done, left to go in the back. Not once did she apologize to me or make friendly conversation. Did not speak to me at all. The male cashier was the only one who told me he was sorry for the wait. The lady cashier then made me my drink and just slammed it on the counter when it was done. No sorry, nothing. I will definitely be complaining to Jamba Juice.

First time trying this place. Good selection of juices, smoothies They made to order my juice.
They have wheatgrass and soy protein! Its added price for 1 oz. or 2 oz. shots.
Daniel is great and helpful. Harold took my order no problem and Uma was really helpful with the selection.
Stop by for a drink pre or post workout!!!
My shake was ginger, super greens, soy milk, and shot of wheatgrass on the top.

Sorely missed my Jamba Juice after moving to MD from CA. Great for pick me ups after having your mouth dry out from walking around the mall.

Sloppy. I got an acai energy bowl and when I went to eat it I found that it wasn’t blended at all. There were chunks of what I presume to be pre-​puréed fruit of some sort. These chunks took up half of the bowl. Not cool. A smoothie place should know how to blend fruit. Very lazy.

Pretty G, Jamba Juice.
I make smoothies frequently, so it’s going to take a lot to get my nod of approval. And you got it.
Jamba’s smoothies have a nice consistency. They travel well, too.
There are several «categories» of smoothies offered, which is interesting. Not sure I completely believe all of it – a bit of a marketing hook.
Counter staff can handle a large crowd of customers effectively and calmly. And they accommodate requests pleasantly.
I find that the pricing is somewhat high, but the ingredients are good quality.
This Jamba Juice is tucked away on the second floor of the mall.
The website is very good.

Does not taste like the original from California branch. Lacking freshness and flavor. So-​so shopping mall smoothie.

Jamba Juice ftw! I grew up with Robeks and Smoothie Kings, but once I had Jamba Juice for the first time in Dupont Circle and later this Jamba Juice location, I haven’t gone back to those inferior smoothie joints. What I love about Jamba Juice is that they add no sugars or sweeteners to their smoothies. It’s all fruit and everything is natural. The flavor you taste in your smoothie is from the fruit and not from any added sugars. That’s a smoothie and now I don’t want anything less than wholesome fruit.
I usually order either a Caribbean Passion or Mango-​A-​Go-​Go when I go to Jamba Juice; both are winners in my opinion. Honestly, most of their smoothies look good. I don’t know of any smoothie at Jamba Juice that people hate with a passion. You can also get boosts, like antioxidant, energy, or Vitamin C, added to your smoothie for 25 cents a boost.
This Jamba Juice is located in the Westfield Montgomery Mall’s food court.

The worst manager yelling their employees in front of customers. No service, the people are so mean working there. Especially the manager give customer attitude. I feel that I was his employee too. I will never go back again. They also so dirty -,-«
Good luck if you go there buy your juice.

Not a fan. Juice concentrates? I’ll pass. When I want the real stuff, I go to Robek’s (they offer fresh squeezed juice & smoothies made to order). I don’t need all the added sugar & junk that goes in their smoothies. Yep, I’m a smoothie snob.

Good heavens, I heart Jamba Juice!
When I was an undergrad at AU, we had a Jamba on campus that accepted our meal plan swipes and it was the greatest thing ever. They’ve since closed it so having one closeby in Montgomery Mall is simply fantastic.
In general, I’m not a picky eater… but I hate bananas. With a passion. And unfortunately, a lot of the original smoothie flavors have bananas. Thankfully, the staff here didn’t hate me for asking them to omit the bananas. In fact they were super friendly about it and instead of just complying to my request, they offered alternate fruit suggestions that would still fit the flavor profile of the smoothie.
Just another reason why I love Jamba Juice over all of the other smoothie places out there.

ooh, there’s a secret menu? intrigued. i am definitely a robeks diva but jamba juice is a decent backup while in the area of the mall.
this location: always 2+ employees that are nice and helpful. not the quickest service ever but only unbearable because of how echo-​y and loud it is in this particular spot. i get antsy standing there.
will continue to get my smoothies every time i come to the mall!

While I have just recently learned about Jamba Juice’s secret menu by reading Jueli L.‘s review, I will admit that I am a Jamba Juice Junkie and am currently looking for a 12-​step program to help me. If you know of one, please send all referrals and recommendations my way!
Aloha Pineapple, Mango-​a-​go-​go, and Peach Pleasure are my go-to’s. I have yet to stray from these 3 because they never do me wrong. They are filling, and for someone who is always on the go, when I can’t sit down to eat a real meal, I always swing by Montgomery Mall to pick one of these up. On occasion, I have asked them to make 2 small sizes of these and alternate them in a larger cup, for a Swirly Smoothie creation of my very own and they have obliged!
As far as the staff goes, they are always cheerful and helpful. Sometimes distracted by the long line of customers but always efficient and very clean. I love the cleanliness of this location — especially because I pay even more attention to a mall location that is smaller and more rushed. If you’re looking for a delicious treat and have a schedule that doesn’t always allow you to eat a proper meal, then definitely stop by this spot! The more Jamba Juice Junkie’s I create, the larger my support group will be!

I have made so many excuse to go out of my way before to come to this mall location of the Jamba Juice. The employees here are so sweet and always so fast! I don’t know if Hanna still work there, but she was so sweet and a beautiful young lady! Salamat, haa!

Oh Jamba Juice! I’m glad to see that you’ve returned to the DC area! It makes my trips here somewhat more bearable!
This location, inside The Mall at Montgomerie’s Luxury Courts of Food, is pretty small and typical of a Jamba Juice you’d see in an airport – like Charlotte Douglas. The staff are semi-​lukewarm in terms of friendliness but they make up for it speed and accuracy.
Be sure to try a street waffle with your smoothie. It pairs well with the Matcha Green Tea Blast or The Orange Dream.
One downside to Jamba Juice – they use sherbet in many smoothies which tips the processed simple sugar scale!

After spending 4 years on the west coast, having a Jamba juice around every corner like it were Starbucks, it saddened me that there was none when I moved back to the east coast.
The jamba juice website doesn’t even know this jamba juice is here. I cried man-​tears because I Unilocaled it and TADA! I FOUND ONE!
Silly Robeks or Smoothie King, you are no competition for the all mighty Jamba Juice! One Power White Gummy please!
–praise– THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

I thought everyone knew about the Jamba Juice Secret Menu? Or is it just me? I’d been FEENIN’ for a JJ near me since my college days. We were spoiled with a JJ right in our Student Union, and you bet I went there every day for my fix. So of course I came right away when I found out that it opened in one of my favorite places in the world — the mall.
I was hesitant to ask about the secret menu since I knew they had just opened up. Of course the nubby register girl was like, «We don’t have a secret menu.» Continued to look puzzled and bewildered. Looked to her manager behind her, «Do we have a secret menu?» Damn straight you have a secret menu girl. The boss was like, «Why don’t you flip through this booklet right next to you?» They were all in there (: Score.
Got two Strawberry Shortcakes. Damn were they delicious. Reminded me of all those sunny days, where we’d lay out or play volleyball or throw a football around on the Quad with a JJ in our hands. MM. I’m itching to come back again right after I write this.
This is just like any other Jamba Juice out there — damn delicious. The weather is going to reach 100 degrees real feel again. Better get your own JJ cuz this girl is not sharing (:

Oh sweet Jamba Juice! How I’ve missed you! I didn’t know when you were getting here but I saw your beautiful sign and my heart melted a little. I’m sorry to the Smoothie King fans but Jamba does smoothies right.
Since it’s a new location, I expected kinks but I found none. Both of the smoothies I ordered were perfect. The nice young man who took my order was super sweet and ordered everything up correctly, even though the mall was a tad bit loud.
The guy blending my smoothie goodness got the proportions totally awesome. And before I knew it, I was on my way out and on my way to the first of many brain freezes. Plus two survey coupons that results in a BOGO coupon.
I’ll see you soon, Jamba Juice!

They’re heeeeeeeeeeere…
Second floor food court where Cinnabon used to be.
Across from Chick-​fil-​A (mooooo)
Had the all fruit pomegranate paradise — kicked my a$$
Don’t you wanna jamba jamba?
