Juice It Up!

Got the Zone after being in the zone. tashia hooked it up all quick with a smile and all. I appreciate good service

I want here to get a smoothie for my son since all the Jamba juices were far away. When I went in I ordered my smoothie and it took quite awhile to make and I was the only one in there. When I got my smoothie, i tried to get napkins but the napkin holders were empty. I asked both employees for napkins but they both ignored me. I asked again and the blonde lady gave me a dirty look and literally threw the napkin at me. If I wasn’t in such a rush I would’ve asked to speak to her manager. I am never going back here no matter what. This is why Jamba Juice is so much better than juice it up. The attitude of those two were just horrible.

I was worried this place would blend a sugary drink that would not quench my thirst. I was wrong.
I got the melon smoothie and it was delicious and not too sweet ! I felt that my thirst was quenched and I had done something good for my poor neglected body. I will be back !

I had ordered the Lava Flow. There’s way too much of that sugary juice added to the smoothies. You really only need fruit and yogurt in a smoothie… no need for that added sugary juice. I’d rather have a smaller cup of all fresh ingredients than a huge cup that’s half sugar and who knows what else is in that.
I’ve been informed that the «Fushion» smoothies are only fruit and veggie, so I’ll try that next time.

My pregnant wife wanted a smoothie so we went here, after ordering the flavor was just not sitting well with her. We asked if she could get another flavor and they were so nice and made a replacement one.
Great experience that will have me coming back

Juice it up has been systematically overstating the amount of boost they add to their drinks, probably for years. Juice it up doesn’t seem to understand that a tablespoon of boost is not 15 grams. A tablespoon of water is 15 ml, which is 15 grams. But boosts like soy protein are about 40% as dense as water, so each boost is only about 6 grams. So every boost only provides 40% of the benefit as they advertise!
For a company based in Irvine, one of the most highly educated cities in the US, this is a completely outrageous misunderstanding of basic science.
So let’s say I order a protein blast smoothie with 4 protein boosts. According to their website, that should be 360 calories/​20g protein for the drink + 200 calories/​48g protein = 560 calories and 68g protein. They would use 2 tablespoons of protein for the drink and 4 more tablespoons for the four boosts. That would be about 36 grams of boost, or about 29 grams of protein. So instead of getting 68g protein as advertised, you only get 29 grams, or about 40% of what it should be!
Advertised
560 calories
68g protein
Actual
~560 calories
less than 29g protein
Also, you add the fact that a portion of the mixture is left in the blender then you get even less, probably closer to 30 or 35% of the advertised protein.
If you check the nutrition facts on their website, this is true with every boost they use. Each one uses the idea that a tablespoon is 15 grams or a teaspoon is 5grams, which is true for water but NOT true for powder.
I’ve actually measured on a scale the amount of boost they give and it was less than a third of the weight it should have been.
I tried to contact the company THREE times in the past couple weeks via their customer service form, as well as their customer service email addresses but I haven’t received a response so I’m posting this to Unilocal.
I’ve been to this place a half a dozen times and the workers are generally professional and helpful. I have had no problems with this location. The drinks taste good but I have a huge issue with the company.

Never coming back. Only 2 workers during the lunch hour rush and they go SUPER slow. Wait was 10mins just to order the drink, then over 10 mins to wait for my drink which was a medium smoothie. Jamba Juice makes my drink when they see me pull up in front of the store and it’s ready by the time I order. Horrible.

I’ve tried this place recently and haven’t had a single complaint, it’s just two workers at any given hour of business who work the cashier or make the drinks. For the amount you get, along with the price, it’s totally worth it and the line moves quick. I’ve also enjoyed the customers, none of them seem to be upset and are willing to tell you their favorite items on the menu.
I like this place more than the other local juice shops, the last time I went to Jamba Juice there were people still wearing their workout clothes. Somewhere between paying for an overpriced drink then the smell of sweat and Astroglide, I got tired of ordering anything from there. So it’s essentially a breath of fresh air to find a fun location like this.
The workers are friendly, the drinks turn out great and the price is a steal. Had I known about this place earlier I would have been enjoying their drinks all summer. You can also modify these drinks when you get home, so it’s friendly for all ages.

The Juice it Ups taste the same… Been coming here for years. Today they charged 50 cents for each additional cups (for my kids). Strange, because they never did that before (which I told them)… Not gonna fuss over a buck. Just not gonna come back

I just went in and ordered a fusion bowl and I was pretty excited for it. I get home and I cannot begin to describe how disappointed I am. The girl making it had no idea what she was doing. It took her a ridiculously long time, only to demonstrate that she needs more training. I will probably never go back!

Friendly staff and they hook it up! We have been there numerous times and the juice is on point every time.

Went to Juice It Up tonight for the first time. This location is conveniently right next to 7 eleven market, which makes it easier to find. It closes at 8, we got there at about 7:55. I asked if they were shutting their doors and they both said no, and offered that they would only be able to make a smoothie. I was definitely up for that. I asked for a recommendation, as it was my first time going, and the lady at the front said the Lava Flow smoothie. Even though she had told her coworker that she was going to make the smoothie, her team member took the initiative of doing the smoothie for me. That is what I call real team work. My smoothie was amazing, it tasted very tropical. I believe it had strawberries and pineapple. Now I recommend Lava Flow as a great option if you want a tropical smoothie with great flavor. The customer service was 11/​10, not only had I come in late which would make most people a little annoyed because they are cleaning up and mentally preparing to go home. NOT THE CASE HERE. The lady who spoke with me was very outgoing and sweet. That is an outstanding way to be in customer service. The very end of the day just minutes before their shift is over and they still offer to make something and with a sincere positive attitude! I believe these were managers, but the way she handled talking to me was in a kind friendly tone. No rude snotty-​ness that I see in some other stores. I wish I could say more for them because the service truly felt incredible. So I will definitely be back to grab an açaí bowl. Definitely recommend coming to this location.

Attentive service from the staff, good juice selections. Sometimes it get a bit busy with long lines, but it’s nothing major. Thanks for great experience!

Juice It Up! is basically Jamba Juice’s fat and ugly sister. Sure the date is cheaper, but the experience isn’t quite as hot.
Juice It Up! is basically my #4 Juicer in the area, sort of a closer and more convenient option if I am too lazy to drive the distance to Bowl of Heaven, Whole Foods or even Jamba Juice. I tend to end up here only after a run on the San Diego Creek Trail.
The menu is familiar: Smoothies, Juices, Wheatgrass, Acai Bowls… yeah, all of that. The prices are also in line with their competition as is the friendliness of the high school aged staff. I find the taste of their offerings a bit muted in comparison to the aforementioned favorites and the loyalty program not being based on a phone number is mildly annoying (I don’t run with keys so I never have the stupid key card), but none of this is an absolute deal breaker.
My picks are the Melon Madness, Mango Mania and Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice. If you are not a huge Ginger fan, shy away from drinks with it as an ingredient because it seems like all you taste.
Final word, if you are in the vicinity and craving Juice, Juice It Up! will work but no need for a special trip.

Good customer service and super
Delicious smoothies !!! My new favorite is the pineapple smoothie can’t remember exactly the name pineapple something but omg so good! I just wish that they were open later In the evening.

Was craving a fruit smoothie. Employee suggested the Ever Green– kale, spinach, apple juice, pineapple sherbet, and more. Was never, but it was actually good! Definitely going to get it again :)

Excellent customer service. I do a call ahead on the Immunizer juice drink. All greens, lite on apple — they get it right every time. Very consistant.
Keep up great work, guys!

My first time trying an acai bowl and I was very pleased. Although they are a little bit pricey, their menu for acai bowls is quite choicey, meaning you have a lot to choose from which is nice =)
The acai bowl was filled with a lot of acai slushi mixture type of thing and topped with a few nuts and bananas. So I’d say it was worth the money, but I still feel like there are better acai bowls out there.

Drinks: I ordered the strawberry smoothie — pretty sweet but good. My special someone got a juice, forgot what she got — but it was good.
Overall: It’s pretty good, similar to Jamba juice. A bit pricer though.

I’ve been sick for a week and the things that don’t upset my stomach are water, fruit and juice.
BLAMO! Get a smoothie girl and throw in a boost! What a fantastic idea! Uhhhh…
Yesterday I ordered a piña colada thingy and got a vita boost. I was sooo excited to wrap my feverish hand around that 32 oz cup and sip away. I grabbed my cup, ripped open the straw wrapper and jammed the straw into the little X so violently that the end bent… and took my first beloved sip… WTH? Where is the flavor??? Am I seriously drinking frozen water with a hint if fruit? I couldn’t believe it so much that I actually looked through the lid and shook the damn thing thinking maybe it wasn’t blended thoroughly. Well shit. Now I have 32 oz of this crap to get through because I hate wasting money!!!
I’m coming back from the dr office with body aches and a pneumonia diagnosis. I need to hydrate and I’m slightly hungry. Should I try again? Maybe the fever threw off my taste buds yesterday. Let’s give them another try– mainly because I was feeling horrible and the desire to drive to Harvard and Main seemed as painful as stabbing my eyes with needles.
I walk in. Nobody there. Awesome, this will be fast! I’m greeted my Aaron (I think). Damnit. I wanted to remember his name because he needs some lessons in customer service. He’s a young skinny tallish Asian kid. He looked up at me said hello and continued to cut apples and make a greenish juice for an imaginary customer. Wow. Ok I’ll stand here patiently because your imaginary customer looks pretty thirsty.
This time I’ll try something else. Mega Mango with a vita boost! Sounds delicious. I grab my drink, say a little prayer and sip. OMG! O.M.G!!! It is true that these drinks are crap! Damnnnn! Another 32 oz to thoroughly UNenjoy.
I’m going to Jamba Juice next time.
Bad smoothies + poor customer service = bad business.
