Jamba Juice

Sad — they are now CLOSED for business!!!
I tried the Apple ‘n Greens smoothie here and it was great! I just tried it at a different location and literally threw it away before I got back to work because it was nasty!!! Sad to see this location closed.

Super bright, super cheery, super fast, super nutritious (according the the super blazing wall prints), super healthy, super tasty (green kale in my yogurt = the picture of health drink). I have been marketed to the max. But really it’s good time to time for a pricey shake.

SLOW service. VERY SLOW. Good carrot juice though

I love Jamba Juice! Their customer service is great and I love the Apple N’ Greens smoothie. I’ve never been disappointed with what I order at Jamba Juice. Give them a try.

I’ve been going to Jamba Juice for eight years down and I’m still a fan although their prices could come down. The staff is friendly and they no longer push upgrades on you like they used to which was quite annoying. My favorite? Mango a go go. It’s very fresh and hard to mess up. I’m not a fan of the food here though or the dessert smoothies. At that point, it’s a milkshake people. This location is always clean and the service is also prompt and efficient, even when it’s very busy. I live on this stuff after mouth surgery, which seems to happen me once a year or so.

the juices are just as good here as other jamba’s.
the location couldn’t be more perfect, next to millennium park.
however, the service, while not gruff or anything, just isn’t as cheery and upbeat as other jamba’s. one of the things that has always surprised me about jamba’s is their very happy employees. the ones here are like any other fast food worker — just trying to get through the day — nothing wrong with that i guess.

Overrated. A good idea, but not done that well. The juices are packed full of sugar, and the breakfast wraps are not all that.
Beautiful little café outside, but sadly. .. wayyy too much sugar for me.

This is easily one of my favorite Jamba Juice locations, right across from Millennium Park, there is plenty of indoor seating even during the Lunch hour rush and if the weather is nice, you can sit out on the patio.
The veggie+juice smoothies taste surprisingly good with the «Apple and Greens» smoothie being my favorite of the bunch. Also try the carrot juice which they «juice to order» from fresh carrots or if you prefer something sweeter you can get freshly squeezed orange juice or and «Carrot + Orange» juice.
It can get on the pricey side especially if you like to add a few boosts and/​or go with the «power» size to replace your meal (around $ 6.50 to $ 7.75 for the largest sizes depending on what you order), so budget accordingly.
It would be cool if they had specials or promos, particularly for boosts, but I haven’t seen one in a long while.

Regular to this location. They remember me and my son. Remember my order and customization. However they hired a lot of new people recently. Let’s see if the customer service levels keep up.

Jamba Juice is as good as it gets.
For a nice healthy boost, while you are on the go, Jamba Juice will always hit the spot. They have a variety of different flavors and shakes. They also have oatmeal and other items such as protein bars, granola, muffins etc…
This particular location is right on Michigan Avenue across from Millenium Park. I was running errands and happened to stop by for a quick fix. The staff was very helpful and very friendly. Plus, they were busy and I still got my shake in about 4 or 5 minutes.
They even signed me up for their rewards program and gave me free stamps for future shakes. It was pretty awesome to say the least.

I’m addicted to Jamba Juice and this location. I love the staff… they rock. They are quick and always greet me at the door. Yup… love it.

A welcome addition along tourist-​centric Michigan Avenue. The staff here are über-​friendly and the smoothies they whip up are delectable. Conidering the location, this place offers plenty of seating indoors and out, prices are reasonable and the selection is deep.

I know it may seem a little funny to review Jamba Juice, but I love this location and think it deserves some cred!
First of all, it’s on N Michigan Avenue right across from Millenium Park so it is smack dab in the middle of tourist mania BUT is also convenient if you work in the Loop, as I and many others do.
Second of all, for a Loop lunch spot there is NEVER any crowd or line. it doesn’t feel nearly as rushed and crazy as most places around the lunch hour.
And the new «Grab and Go» wraps, salads and sandwiches are actually really delicious and healthy — there is an Asian Chicken Wrap that’s fresher and better than many Loop lunch spots I’ve tried. Plus they have some fun deals, e.g. $ 4 wrap with any drink, some breakfast specials, etc. Obivously the smoothies are delicious and standard for Jamba Juice.
Best of all here and why I keep coming back is the staff — they are always exceedingly friendly, helpful and patient. They go out of their way to smile and wish you a nice day, which is lacking in most Loop lunch spots even though Chicago in general is such a friendly city.
Thanks for the pleasant lunch experience Jamba workers!

I’m not a Jamba Juice-​r… I get one maybe 2 or 3 times a year… I never crave it… I came in because my friend had a buy one get one coupon and we needed to get far away from working at the Taste.
BUT OMG if all Jamba Juices were this fun I would go here morning, noon, and night. The staff is very nice and know how to have a good time.
Highlight of my day: two guys — one customer and one JJ employee (maybe they knew each other? who cares) dancing to the complete Beyonce Single Ladies single. Yes, they were coordinated and knew the whole thing. I had great seats, and everyone passing by was stopping to take videos and pictures
As far as the drinks — it was just… normal.

I love real fruit smoothies… so this is the kind of place I would be all the time. My big problem is that they just cost too much for my liking. I would never become a regular customer on that alone. I can’t help but feel that $ 5 for a cup is just not worth it.
I came here a couple times cause they had a promotion for $ 1 oatmeal. I tried all the flavors I believe (banana, blueberry, and apple cinnamon). I think the best was the blueberry cause it mixed so well together. I think the worst was the banana cause you couldn’t really blend the two together. I practically had to eat all the bananas to get to the oatmeal… whats the point in that?
Of course the drinks I had tasted great, it is just the price tag that scares me off.

This used to be my Jamba… This used to be my fruit filled friend. This used to be the place I juiced at, but then I had to move back to DC again…
(Where all the Jambas have gone away and all we have close to it is smoothie king that is totally awful… tear shrug sigh)
I had a great all fruit Strawberry Whirl here Sunday after I went to the new wing at the CAI. It was a nice sunny day. I sat with my friends outside. One of my friends had the new Oatmeal and really enjoyed it. I really miss this place. It is a great place to meet and watch people walk down Michigan and get something refreshing close to the bean.
Early Monday morning I had the oatmeal at the Jamba at O’hare (along with another Strawberry whirl) and thought it was fantastic. I mean I am amazed that they could actually improve what they already had here. I had the oatmeal with banana and opted to leave off the brown sugar. They asked me if I wanted it off or not. I was so happy that they actually gave me this option. It tasted so healthy and fresh. You haven’t had oatmeal until you have had it at a Jamba!

Okay, Jamba Juice is starting to redeem itself.
The past few times have been successful. Smoothies made in a timely fashion and they give you VERY generous samples of oatmeal whenever you want.

What heathens, not giving Jamba Juice 5 stars.
You all should be ashamed of yourselves. 4 stars. ok you’re pardoned, 3 stars… 2 stars!!! what the…
White Gummy Bear is where it’s at by the way. Any competant Jamba Juice employee would know what you’re talking about. And how to make it deliciously, not effing it up. A White gummy bear, original size with an energy booster is my lunch on some days cuz it’s all I have time for. Look how well I turned out And I’m still alive. yessssss!

I give 2 stars only because I do like Jamba Juice. Otherwise there would only be 1. However, last time I went to this location I discovered something that was not quite part of a smoothie that came up through the straw and entered into my mouth. I have no idea what it was, seemed almost like a piece of blue dental floss, but not as flimsy. Sick.
Granted, I did not go back because I had already started walking and there were a ton of people in there.

I’m not sure what’s going on at this location, but sometime I just leave here shaking my head in confusion.
This is usually my after work/​before school meal — but sometimes I need FOOD to go with my smoothie. Well, I tried the Parmesan pretzel, and it tasted like someone poured chemicals on it, because it literally burned my mouth. Yuck — I don’t know what the hell was going on with it.
Not giving up on the pretzel, the next week I tried the apple-​cinnamon — it was more like a bagel in pretzel form.
But then yesterday, while waiting for my smoothie, I decided to have the Apple-​cinnamon bagel pretzel again, and although there were literally 8 in the case, she woman told me they were not for sale and for display only.
Maybe she was protecting me from a bad pretzel, I don’t know, but 8 pretzels on display?
I’ll continue to wonder, and simply slurp my smoothie and skip the food.
