Jamba Juice

Haha doesnt matter if they dont greet me these smoothies are the best. Mango-​àgo-​go, is the best one. Fyi they do greet, at least they did to me. Great job you guys!

I use to work at Jamba Juice back in the days, and I have to say, I was a bit disappointed coming to this store. As I entered the store, there were only 2 workers on the floor, and not one of them greeted me. Not to mention, none of them were wearing aprons, visors and name tags; where’s the strict dress code I remember having when I use to work for this company? Plus, wearing visors was more of a sanitary procedure when it comes to F&B establishments. There were a few customers waiting for their order and only 1 customer in front of me waiting to place our order and pay. But for some reason, it took awhile before it was finally my turn. As I went up to the register, instead of acknowledging me first, he just went straight to the pour station to «help» the other worker pass out smoothies to the customers waiting. I honestly didn’t think the other worker needed him there as she had already blended and poured the drinks. Also, if you’re going to transition to another station, maybe acknowledging the customer first and apologetically letting them know you’ll be with them in just a moment.
For a small Kale-​ribbean Breeze, it came out to almost $ 6. Geez Jamba, you’re really getting really expensive now huh? My drink was ready pretty quick, but it wasn’t blended all the way as I still had mango chunks on the bottom. Not a big deal, but I had come back from the dentist where my mouth was numbed, so I couldn’t chew the remainders of my drink.

This is a great Jamba. There is usually parking & its not as busy as the one in Moanalua Shopping Center. The staff is friendly & quick. So far, all good experiences here.

as soon as I walked in, I was greeted and helped.
my questions about differences in tastes between the smoothies were answered without hesitation.
She began to tell me what’s been popular amongst other customers and the employees themselves.
I ended up getting my usual, power size white gummi bear. Extra frozen yogurt of course.
What got me for excellent customer service, is she made a cup for my youngest daughter without even asking. Of course I appreciated it, I being late for a doctor’s appt forgot to ask her to do it but she must’ve been paying attention knowing it was our intent to share.
Good job jamba!!!

I just picked up an Acai smoothie from this Jamba Juice. The gal at the counter took my order promptly any accommodated the substitution ingredient I requested. The only problem is the exits for this shopping center. You have to make a right turn only on Aiea Heights Drive.

I’ve NEVER had a bad experience at any Jamba before. I always love the ambience in Jamba-​upbeat, happy and welcoming! The workers in this one either haven’t fully woke up yet or they hate the job.
Ordered 2 drinks and 2 orders of oaties. I know that each order comes with 3 oaties. We all seen that there were only 5 oaties in the display, yet the worker threw the 5 into the warmer and bagged the 5 to serve to us. I would’ve shrugged off the simple mistake, that is, if it was an actual mistake. He was simply too lazy to go to the back and get the 1 more oatie. Then when I asked about it, no apologies were given, and actually received a complaint back about why the oaties were still sitting in the back.
An irritating experience. Never thought in the years and years that I’ve visited Jambas that I’d ever leave a negative review. Hope this makes it up to a supervisor and gets corrected before future customers receive a bad experience, too.

I’m sure this is just a «training issue» but gotta do my due diligence and rate what I see…
Me: good morning, can you recommend a bowl for me?
Jamba: yeah the orange dream machine is the best.
Me: oh, I asked about the bowls you have.
Jamba: they are all good.
Me: ok. I’ll have that one (pointing at picture)
Jamba: it’s $ 6.xx. (there are 2 sizes and I thought he would ask but oh well)
Me: can I type my number in for the rewards thing?
Jamba: oh yeah but that’s a different company so it doesn’t work
Me: huh? Different Jamba company? Let me type in my number. Hey it looks like it’s working, I should have a reward I can use.
Jamba: (reaches over and presses «not my number») it doesn’t work in this location. It’s a different company.
Me: that looks like it’s working to me? Never mind dude. Here’s my credit card.
He makes the bowl and I come up to the counter to get my bowl.
Me: can I have a spoon?
Jamba: oh, here.
Me: napkins?
Jamba: oh sorry we just have these (the big kind inside bathrooms after you wipe your ass)
I smiled and walked out. Now I’m sitting in my car in front of store writing this review. I better get to work.

I love this location! Despite Aiea Shopping Center being so crowded and parking sucking. this location knows how to keep up with the crowds. They are so fast, and they get things right! Every time I’ve been here, I’ve had a great experience. They seem to know their products very well and can provide great recommendations on what to get if you’re undecided since you want everything.
They also have Hawaii exclusives too, which is pretty awesome. I noticed they have specials and giveaways that go on from time to time as well. Love it!

start your day with freshly squeezed Orange Juice

I finally got to try this, thanks to friends who gave us a gift certificate as an engagement gift. :). I had the Tropical Dragon and my sweetie has strawberry smoothie. Mine was a seasonal item and it was pretty good. As I try more flavors, the ranking I give might go up.

Went yesterday to get a smoothie. Wanted one with less sugar. The lady was so helpful and nice. Great customer service. So sad that I didn’t get her name. She made a smoothie that wasn’t on the menu but was delicious and healthy. Will def go there again.

This is one of the closer Jamba Juices to me, and when I’m craving smoothie or feeling under the weather – or trying to prevent getting sick – I’ll stop into this shop.
This location is never super crowded, at least, not the times I’ve visited. I’ve never had to wait a long time for my order, and the quality of my smoothies has been consistent. Plus, there’s seats immediately outside of the Starbucks/​Jamba Juice area where you can enjoy your drinks with friends if you go to Jamba with a group.
I never usually deviate from my tried-​and-​true favorite, but here’s what I would recommend from Jamba:
«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 would give this one another go if I ever visited Jamba again. It includes peanut butter, bananas, non-​fat vanilla frozen yogurt and chocolate moo’d milk chocolate. I probably didn’t order this smoothie much when I was younger because I’m not a huge fan of bananas, but since I love peanut butter, I’m sure I would still like it today. Plus, it includes chocolate in the mix, resulting in one of my favorite combos of all time.
«Chocolate Moo’d»: This was my go-​to order at Jamba 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.
«Strawberries Wild»: My mom and brother usually order this smoothie from Jamba, and I tried it once for myself. I still preferred my «Chocolate Moo’d», but if I do want a fruit-​filled smoothie, this is probably the one I would order. It includes a blend of strawberries, bananas, apples and frozen yogurt. Apples are one of my favorite fruits, and I actually don’t mind the fruity blend in this drink. Though I normally don’t eat strawberries and you get a slightly tart taste with this smoothie, it’s offset somewhat by the sweeter apple juice, bananas and frozen yogurt. My mom and brother like this drink and it’s great with the vita boost if you’re trying to stave off/​recover from a cold.
«Sourdough Parmesan Pretzel»: I remember getting this Parm pretzel for a snack once and loving it because of the taste and texture. It features a big, puffy, sourdough pretzel topped with Parmesan sprinkles and baked to warm perfection. I liked the soft, fresh bread and the hardened, crispy Parmesan shavings that were baked on. This pretzel is definitely best when served warm — it has that great, toasted exterior and soft, moist interior.
«Three Cheese Sandwich»: Grilled cheese sandwiches have always been one of my favorite sandwiches, and this one is simply loaded with cheese. It features cheddar, provolone and Havarti, making this sando a top contestant on my must-​try list, especially because it’s not every day that you get Havarti in a cheese sandwich.
«Roast Chicken, Cheddar & Honey Dijon Sandwich»: This sandwich sounds like the perfect option for lunch. It contains smoked chicken piled high, melted cheddar and sweet honey mustard. What a great medley of flavors! I’m a huge fan of sweet-​salty combos, and I’m sure the savory chicken and cheese is complemented perfectly with the sweeter honey mustard. This sandwich is sure to be a great addition to any smoothie purchase.

I visit this Jamba often since it’s close to work.
Staff: Very friendly and quick with processing orders. I usually don’t have to wait very long for my order.
Quality: There’s not much to blending a drink and heating frozen food, but they do a great job. Everything tastes great.
Parking: Pretty easy, there’s a lot of 20 min parking in front of the Jamba. The challenge is competing with Starbucks customers.

Seems like a lot of these reviews are from kiddie groupies… photos…really…
My experience is different. For the most part it seems that we have 6^th graders in semi-​adult bodies selling overpriced sugar disguised as health…
Some of the prices overcharge on the register so check and compare with the menu price.
In the end you can spend $ 6 – 8 and not be full. The whole system starts to make vita mix seem cheap. Workers have their favorites you can tell how they greet the customers; seems a bit like high school with cliques and fruity drinks, and look at those pictures.
Adults may prefer a different environment.

Jamba Juice always delivers on cool and refreshing smoothies and bowls. They may not have the BEST acai or the most creative concoctions, but when you are dying after a hot yoga class and just need to drink something cold immediately, how picky can you be?
My favorite smoothies include Strawberries Wild, Apple N Greens, and Orange Carrot Karma. They’re acai bowls are very generous for their prices, but nowhere near the level of Jewel or Juice or DHC. I recently enjoyed an Acai Primo Bowl which came with the basic acai blend topped with bananas, blueberries, almonds, granola, coconut, and honey. The flavors were great, but my blueberries were still very frozen and I found a chunk of frozen strawberries at the bottom of my bowl. Since the number of acai places in Aiea are limited, this Jamba Juice is a great option that will satisfy an emergency craving!

For me, the Açai bowl and the chorizo wrap for a breakfast is a winner! I like the blend of hot and cold. Spicy, yet sweet. A perfect match, like yin and yang. It’s not for everyone, but for me, I dig it. Feeling daring? Try it… you’ll be glad you did! Another highly recommend! Aloha!

5.1.13.
Not a fan of this parking lot…
But sometimes it’s nice to come to location because of the great service – friendly, fast and of course Jamba is always yummy! My fav is the Strawberry Surfrider – perfect for summer (and any time of the year for me haha)!
It is a little interesting that one of the employees speaks with a fake accent and claims he’s from New Zealand… but I guess it’s all in good fun? Thankfully my friend warned me about this employee beforehand otherwise I think I would have been weirded out haha.
Unilocal 365 Challenge: #120/​365

This Jamba seriously has the nicest workers ever! 5 million stars for service! They remember your name after only a couple of visits and are so friendly. They always make you smile. Keep up the great work!

I try to go to the gym and workout every Saturday. For motivation, I reward myself at Jamba Juice with an Orange Dream Machine plus Protein Boost after I go to the gym.
Do you remember Orange Creamsicles from when you were a kid? I do. They were pure orangey ice cream goodness on a stick. Well a Jamba Juice Orange Dream Machine is pretty much the same thing, sans the stick.
For this motivational plan to work, I have to be pretty strict with it. If I go to the gym and get no Orange Dream Machine afterwards, what kind of message am I sending to myself? So strict about this am I that I will often reward myself at Jamba Juice even if I don’t make it to the gym but I had a really good excuse not to have gone.
The plan is really working well: You wouldn’t believe some of the great excuses Jamba Juice has motivated to come up with!

The two people below me pretty much have said it all. The people that work in this particular Jamba are very nice, friendly, professional, and attentive.
These guys should know me very well by now. I only go in there when I need a coldbuster and they must pity me since they get it out to me with lightning speed.
Either that, or they’re afraid of my germs. Hmm. let’s go with the first idea.
