Jamba Juice

Ryan was very polite.
Got our orders exact.
He seemed as if he was training which makes it 10x better
Go Ryan

I work at a different Jamba Juice. Came to this one for a smoothie because I was nearby. It was so poorly blended, every time I sipped it I either swallowed a mango or crunched ice. Not even worth drinking. Terrible, was barely even a smoothie. My store would never hand out a smoothie like this. Blend your drinks!!!

Looking over the reviews in my queue to write and this one is just sitting here daring me to remove it without saying anything. How many times have I crossed off a chain restaurant without thinking twice about it? How many people actually write an in-​depth review for a Starbucks or a Carl’s Jr.
Not sure why I’m compelled to even type any of this out. It’s not like there’s either anything important to relate or anyone beyond my small circle of friends that will bother reading this for a chuckle or just because it pops up on their feed.
«Caleb T. wrote a review for Jamba … m’eh.»
And it is a Jamba Juice. There’s nothing special about it, nothing extra on their menu, and the people working there were nice enough and didn’t spit in my smoothie (I’m assuming, anyway … I’m kind of a jackass, I would deserve it). Just like every other Jamba Juice, it smells like someone just washed out a musty, old freezer with orange scented bleach and you won’t go far wrong by getting either a Peanut Butter Moo’d or a Dream Machine.
This place has taught me that you can actually taste Vitamin C. It’s not as good as you’d think.
I do want to say this, though. This location is a pain in the ass to get to. The shopping center it’s centered in is along a main road where traffic usually skirts along at around 40+, making it a bit hairy turning into it when someone is right behind you. Then you drive around the block long parking lot, trying to navigate the outdoor mall maze, trying to find it, all in hopes of finally getting rid of that gift card that’s been sitting in your wallet for close to a year.
And, c’mon, we all like this place, but you know those gift cards are the only reason you go.
Just stay away from their food; all of it has that prepackaged, fresh off the night truck look to it that screams, «I can just as easily be gotten out of a vending machine» look to it. They do have Wheat Grass shots, though. I like those.
Alright, I’ve rambled on long enough. THREE STARS!

Not very often do I post bad reviews but it is now twice I came to this location that the same employee, MARLON, treated me like I was a bother to him. Any other time I go, which is usually once or twice a week, I am treated wonderfully! I’m not sure if he hates his job but after the second experience with his snide attitude and unapproachable tone I had to post something. I’ll keep going back because it’s the only one in the area but I feel he needs to be aware of his behavior. I know I’m not exaggerating because I was not alone when I went. The first time we practically had to talk him into making my order and the second time I left empty handed. Not happy.

I just left the jamba juice in Clairemont square. I was very indecisive and I know how annoying that can be as I work at Starbucks. The ppl working there were very nice and honest in answering my questions. Finally I just told the guy with the hair and pretty eyes, to «just make me something» and he did. It’s really super tasty. I should’ve asked what was in it for next time.

The worst service ever.
Bad bad bad.
The guy staff took an order and asked me if I want ice in my drink, so I said «no ice, please.»
When I got my drink, there was lots and lots of ice.
So I told the guy about having ice in my drink.
Then the guy rolled his eyes and gave me this annoyed look.
He took my drink and just tried taking ice out by pouring the drink in another cup. He failed and got annoyed. So he just took half of my drink and poured another half cup with orange juice he had, and then he put all in a grinder and grind all the ice. What a genius
I wish I had the guy’s name. So everyone can try out his awesomely horrible service. Jackass

I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, so I did a search for the nearest Jamba so I could get one of those smoothies with a Vita boost. I think it’s been years since I’ve last been to a Jamba location … but, thankfully, this store was only 10 minutes away, so I was able to get my Jamba fix after work.
Once I entered the plaza, I was easily able to spot Jamba – it’s on the side by VONS and Starbucks – and I didn’t have to wait long to order, since there was only one customer in front of me. Good thing there weren’t more customers, cause there was only one guy behind the counter!
I was debating between the «Peanut Butter Moo’d” – which I have only had once – and the «Chocolate Moo’d,» which used to be my go-​to order from Jamba. I noticed a «PB Chocolate» option on the menu (which was slightly more expensive), and I asked the guy behind the counter about the difference between the «Peanut Butter Moo’d» and the «PB Chocolate» (it seemed pretty similar … except one just had chocolate and one didn’t). He was a bit unsure about the differences, but he said he thought the «Peanut Butter Moo’d» had more nutrients (bananas, soy milk, etc.) than the «PB Chocolate» option.
Though I love the peanut butter-​chocolate combo dearly, I figured I had better try to get the smoothie that was slightly more healthy (of course, the options I was considering were not the healthiest because they aren’t the fruit-​based ones, but creamy peanut butter sounded good to me). I ordered the small size and asked for a Vita boost – my, how times have changed, since you now have to pay 25 cents for a boost (it was free the last time I ever went to Jamba) – but I needed all the vitamins I could to shake this under-​the-​weather feeling.
Another customer came into the store while I waited for my order, but it wasn’t long before my smoothie was ready. I had forgotten to tell the guy that I wanted my smoothie «finely crushed» so there would be no lingering ice chunks. Fortunately for me, the smoothie was blended pretty well, so I wasn’t crunching on ice as I sipped my drink.
Though this spot has gotten some negative reviews, I would visit it again, thanks to its close proximity to my workplace and friendly service. I can see how this location may be a slower store – if there’s only one person behind the counter – but I didn’t mind because the worker was friendly, and my smoothie hit the spot.
Here’s what I would recommend, based on this and my previous Jamba experiences:
«Peanut Butter Moo’d»: I think I only got this smoothie once when I was younger – I never really deviated from the «Chocolate» version – but I’m glad I gave it another shot on this recent Jamba tip. It includes peanut butter, bananas, non-​fat vanilla frozen yogurt and chocolate moo’d milk chocolate. The menu might have changed slightly (from online) because the guy told me that there was no chocolate in this smoothie … but I guess I looked disappointed, so he added some in for me. I definitely enjoyed the strong peanut butter flavor (couldn’t taste much chocolate), and I ordered my «Moo’d» with the Vita boost and sans bananas. Note: The workers do ask if you have any allergies, so props to them for being sensitive and mindful of job responsibilities.
«Chocolate Moo’d»: This was my go-​to order at Jamba in the past and it’s no surprise, being that I love chocolate. This smoothie is one of the sweeter options and features a blend of nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt and creamy chocolate. I would always ask for the ice to be finely shaven, so they would keep the blender with my smoothie contents going for slightly longer. I don’t mind the occasional ice crunch when drinking my smoothie, but I’ve definitely had Jamba smoothies that were filled with ice chunks and required chewing! I love the «Chocolate Moo’d» because it’s sweeter, but not overwhelmingly rich. You can taste the sweet frozen yogurt blend that’s accentuated with the chocolate flavor. This treat is refreshing at any time, but especially when the weather’s warm outside.
«Orange Dream Machine»: This is my auntie’s favorite smoothie from Jamba because it tastes like a creamsicle, and she orders it on every visit. It includes orange juice, orange sherbet and non-​fat vanilla frozen yogurt. I don’t like orange at all so I wouldn’t order this smoothie, but my auntie says she loves the citrusy taste that’s complemented by the sweet vanilla fro-​yo that balances it out perfectly.

Only giving 2 stars because it’s Jamba and the drinks are yummy. But the staff doesn’t know what they are doing and Anthony especially was rude and did not seem like he wanted to be there. Shaking his head at people and being sarcastic. Looking angry and rolling his eyes. Hate that this place is right next to my work so it’s the one I’ll have to go to.
Not to mention they are super slow and mess up orders. And let little kids pick spoons out of the holder and put them on their face then back in the container. Gross

Just went there today. I tried the tropical greens and regret it. Very bitter and when they served it to me, it was warm and i am currently going through stoamch pain. Thanks! Plus it was very expensive for two drinks, we paid 12 dollars. Then why 2 stars? I couldn’t have asked for better service. The employees there were really friendly. i dont think i coming to any jamba juice for a while. Probably i will just get boba next time

I love Jamba Juice.
I love smoothies, and juices, and acai berry bowls, and oatmeal, and spinach and cheese wraps, and cheddar tomato twists, and matcha green tea smoothies, and wheat grass shots…
I love it all.
all.
what I don’t love is the attitude this location has. They are never friendly. I have never been greeted. (as someone who once worked for Jamba I know you greet everyone…) I have never been given a sample. They are cold and dare I say it… rude.
The location is right next to Vons, and is horrible. It is small but every time I have been here it was clean. The last time I almost fell cause the floor was wet from being mopped… the caution wet floor sign was behind the counter folded up and tucked in under the juicer… hmmmm.
It is the closest one to my work so I can’t say I won’t be coming here again although I wish I could…

I’ve started coming here more now that I have their Insider Rewards. It definitely helps giving me $$ off so I’m not spending a lot. They send you a free drink on your birthday and you don’t have remember a rewards card, just put your number in at the register and it comes up.
So far I’ve has the Chocolate Peanut Butter Love that I enjoyed a lot! Tastes like a treat but has 14g of protein. And today the cashier Margaret helped me in getting their new veggie Tropical Greens «juice». She modified it to have extra mango & Greek yogurt to be thicker like a smoothie and similar to their Kale-​ribbean drink. I enjoyed it a lot and she gave me the receipt with the recipe on it so I can return and get it made the same.
Overall a clean place with outdoor seating and in a busy shopping center so I can get it to go and look around.

I like jamba juice. I take my niece there for the occasional treat. Today they where offering free juice. I’ve never had there juice before so I thought I’d give it a try. My niece and I got the tropical greens. Which was sweet but the veggies where a little overpowering but to my surprise my niece really liked it.(she not a big veggie eater). I got to taste a little of the citrus kick which I did not get because I thought I would not like it with the ginger but it was perfect. Tangy and delicious w/​a hint of ginger.
If you like the juices there a groupon for them.

Literally just walked out. 1 guy sitting in the lobby in uniform and another guy wearing a tank top making his buddies snacks like it’s their house. We didn’t receive any greeting but an unknown fellow asks us on the way out, «Are you leaving?» –_​_​_​– This happened on May 31^st, around 6:30 PM.

Waiting. And waiting. And waiting some more. Nice workers, but man is it slow sometimes. Makes me miss Robeks, but Jamba Juice is closer! Oh well, it’s close and convenient, just not too quick for service.

Generally, I prefer to jamba my own juice, but recent happenings including singeing my immersion blender’s power cord on the gas stove, getting a JJ gift card, and sore throat led me to jamba juice. The menu has expanded since I was a kid, you can now select yogurt type smoothies, smoothies with fruits and veggies, smoothies without milk, smoothies with milk, smoothies with soymilk, etc. I opted for the fruit and veggie smoothie, the Berry UpBeet which had berries, mango, and red veggies. Of course, like any veggie pulverized with frozen fruit, there was not a taste of veggie in the smoothie. It tasted of berries and was refreshing. Of course, JJ probably uses some sort of industrial/​professional/​vita mix type blender, so the smoothie was uniformly blended, leaving no chunks of junk mixed in as usually happens when I make a smoothie with a run of the mill immersion blender. Still, I don’t think this quality warrants the 4.39 price tag for 16 ounces. Steepola.

Don’t go for the wheatgrass. It’s always yellow and dead looking :(

It’s Jamba Juice, it’s a chain, there’s not much you can say. They have their standard ways of making their smoothies so you’re not going to find much difference between them. Are they overpriced? Yup. But sometimes it’s just what you want and you gotta have it. Are there smoothies deceptively high in sugars and carbs? Oh yeah. You need to be an informed consumer when ordering from here. My only complaint was that at this location the music was club level loud which made it really annoying and be in a hurry to get your order and go!

Jamba Juice smoothies are my drink of choice when I need something refreshing to keep me awake. I’m a juice-​fiend. Short of bad service, Jamba Juice will always get 4 or 5 stars.
I love the BOGO Free deals along with the Buy a $ 25 Gift Card, Get a Drink Free deal around Christmas.
Bring back $ 1 oatmeal!
And why must the Pomegranate change often? I loved it two versions ago.

Overpriced smoothies that are way too sweet for my taste. The best thing about this place is people watching all of the east county types, even though its in clairemont.
Place is clean though and the employees seem friendly enough. Just not a big fan of the product.

I don’t understand why this place only has 2 and ½ stars. Everytime i come here I and fully satisfied in terms of the service and my smoothie.
I came here yesterday and it wasn’t my first time. I ordered the new apple and vegetable smoothie and it was the best tasting drink i’ve had in Jamba Juice.
This place doesn’t even get that busy, so getting your smoothie in a hurry won’t even be a problem. I really like it here and I’m going to keep coming here.
