Jamba Juice

Came here for a protein berry workout smoothie after running up & down the stairs at communication hill. Shoutout to Christopher who patiently waited for us to figure out what size we wanted, and who would pay (I know, we were THOSE customers… lol).
What made it even better, he walked out our drinks to us because we were both staring down at our phones. I felt super VIP!!! So thanks Christopher, for making our quick visit to this location extra special!

i stop today 01-​18-​2016 to get a fresh juice but some one drink my juice before by mistake they do not call my name and the try to give me same drink changine only the strut what an unhealthy fix and i asking them to see the other drink and they said that was a new drink andvthey denied to let me see the other juice this is a red claim against the people who works there have to be more professional atendants and i trow the juice on the garbage in front of them i dont get the risk but poor quality fix this is a mediocre fix. one star becouse untrusted source of hygiene.

Went to this Jamba location earlier today, spent over 10 minutes waiting for my smoothie (only one guy actually making drinks and only 2 – 3 customers in the store) while the other 5 – 6 employees are just standing behind the counter laughing, yawning, and socializing. Why do I have to wait for 10 minutes for my drink when you have MORE employees than customers in the store? What exactly do you pay all of these people to do if they aren’t making smoothies? I probably could have gotten my drink faster if I would have went to the Jamba Juice at oakridge mall across the street. Seems like this location doesn’t have a stern manager who can communicate to its employees the importance of customer service. Definitely my last time visiting this location

7 people on staff with 2 people which appear to be off-​duty employees walking in and out of the lobby to the back. 7 staff and the lobby is filled with waiting customers. Where’s the manager?
10÷24÷15 around 4:15pm

I have been coming to this Jamba juice almost every morning since I moved here and so far so good! My fist time here they put a smiley face in my strawberry topper :)
Since I used to work at Jamba Juice in Capitola I kinda have my own version of all of the smoothies,
and so far they have done a great job not messing them up lol!
The only weird thing is everytime the blonde girl is there pouring, she gives me little dirty looks as I stand in the lobby and like never has a smile on her face when she hands me my smoothie, but I just ignore it hahaha
But yeah great location!

i found this location on Unilocal and strategically planned to come here before an appt in the blossom hill area. i was running a bit short on time, but knew that i’d probably have enough time to pick up a quick breakfast wrap, gobble it down, and head to my appt.
upon walking in, i didn’t see any wraps in the display case, nor did i see them listed on the menu overhead. upon inquiring about the breakfast wraps, i was told that this location does not carry any since they are an independently owned location. i also noticed that they didn’t have a few other items that most other jamba locations offer.
in need of something filling with protein, i picked the mango peach bowl, which i knew included greek yogurt. i requested this made without the soy milk since i’m not a big fan of this ingredient. the cashier wasn’t sure if this could be done and asked the manager on site. he, too, had to think for a few moments before telling me that they’d have to substitute another ingredient in order to complete the mango peach bowl. i asked why, since i understood my selection to be yogurt + granola + fruit + coconut flakes… why would they even need the soy milk? apparently, part of this item had to be blended together and without the soy milk, the consistency would not be correct and the fruit and yogurt portion might be lumpy. i said that lumps did not bother me, could they pls proceed without the soy milk? they said that they’d need to add some extra greek yogurt in order to complete the order, and i said sure, go ahead.
i paid for my order, over $ 5 for this yogurt + granola + fruit bowl, and waited to the side while they prepared my food. i felt like i waited a long time for what i thought was a pretty simple order, but when the order was ready, i saw that it looked pretty good, no lumps (to calm their fears, not that it mattered to me since i’m gonna eat it anyway).
i ate my mango peach bowl pretty quickly and while all the key ingredients were there, i did feel that as a whole, this item was very sweet. greek yogurt + granola + peaches + mangoes + coconut flakes should not be that sweet, so there must have been something else added in the mix. oh well… at least i got my protein and was satisfied before heading out to my appt where i wouldn’t be able to eat for a couple of hours.
the fact that they didn’t have any hot breakfast wraps combined with the difficulties in processing my order are reasons why i give this location such a low rating. coming into jamba juice should be a quick, painless trip, not something that feels more like an ordeal or dreaded household chore.

The Jamba Juice at 848 Blossom Hill Road across from Oakridge Mall in the Lucky Store Shopping Center has a wonderful crew who knows what good customer service means. You not only get your drinks right, but you receive great service with a smile. You are valued as a customer and are treated respectfully. I love the positive energy and how you are greeted when you enter the store. This outstanding group of young people know how to listen. The crew wants you happy and appreciate your business. Not all Jamba Juice stores are created equal. I come to this store five to six days a week. You know I love it here!!! This Jamba Store not only keeps me healthy, but the whole crew makes me feel good about doing business at this store.

I am not usually a juicing kind of person, but I had a gift card so I came here. I chose to go to this location, as opposed to the one in the food court of the mall, thinking it would be less crowded here. Wrong, it took 25 minutes to make a small smoothie. I find this completely unacceptable.

The fresh Veggie /​Juice drinks are amazing. I keep trying the ones that are already done and bottle but nothing compares to the fresh juice!

I’d probably rate this Jamba Juice 4 stars for the selection of juices and smoothies etc as I do like Nekar and some other juice places better but I’m going to 5 stars because this little shop is in my opinion the best Jamba Juice I have ever been to and I go to a lot of them. I have actually met the owner one time and the guy was extremely interested in my opinions and how I thought Jamba could improve. The other thing that is great about this store is the employees do a fantastic job of listening to what you want. For example I like having a boost of macha in my carrot juice and they add some soy milk and put it in a bigger cup with ice. If I ask for this anywhere else they get all confused and never get it right. One of my favorite smoothies here is the pomegranate «something» that normally has raspberry ice cream but I don’t want the sugar so add in regular raspberries. It always tastes great. They also give you extras on wheatgrass or even smoothies on times they have extra which I think shows to the fact the employees are not just robots but actually use their brains. Wish this was the one near me but will go every time I’m in the area.

Not the cleanest Jamba Juice I’ve been to… I noticed there was a snail on the trash can inside, which was a little disturbing.
In general, I think Jamba Juice is just okay. The smoothies that taste good aren’t particularly healthy, and the smoothies/​juices that are healthy don’t really taste good. If I wanted a healthy juice, I’d probably go somewhere else, even if I had to pay more.
I’ve tried Jamba’s acai bowls before too, and I’m not really a fan. The smoothie base is too smoothie-​like rather than a thicker, frozen texture.
They have greek yogurt bowls too, which are pretty healthy, but nothing special. Just greek yogurt topped with fruit and granola. Easy to make at home. Not sure what kind of greek yogurt they use but it’s not as thick as the Fage kind.

This smoothie was good. Jamba Juice determines the recipe. However the staff was a bunch of lazy kids and they took forever to make one smoothie.

They served me an oatmeal with bananas that had a blast g that had gone through it. It was the most disgusting thing. I got home and opened it and found that. Then the next oatmeal I got had some sort of I don’t know what it was in it. Needless to say I don’t buy oatmeal here anymore.

Disclaimer (s): My star ratings are primarily skewed towards the freshness/​ingredients of the juices or smoothies only. Attitude, decorum, wait time, etc. will minimally factor into the equation unless in the rare instance of an absolutely atrocious experience.
A+: Juice = Island Strawberry, Citrus Kick, Orange Reviver, Triple Revitalizer, and the absolute best… my go~to Kale Orange Power .
Above Average: Energy bowls and Smoothies. I usually make my own energy bowls, juices and smoothies from home however the juices take less time to make@most Jamba Juice locations.
Atmosphere: Great outdoor seating to people watch without as much Oakridge strip mall noise. Very narrow and not spacious inside however outside is the complete opposite. Families (soccer mom types especially), couples, girlfriends are most common day or night. Kids and their parents are not well behaved at this establishment thus reinforcing 21^st century «any place in public is our playground» norm attitude. Crazy non-​leashed kids may be prone to break the decibel level or adult vibe. Hence you *might* find trailer trash clientele unfortunately. The volume level is subject to change with the unexpected {?} screaming baby or kid. No T.V.‘s anywhere therefore it will not add to the kids already over the top hyperactivity levels. Crowd generally not anti-​social and people are usually in a decent mood unless the que is 6/​7+. Not acceptable for reading and smartphone escapism outside either as it can be noisy+windy with the traffic closeby. Small cautionary note: dogs frequent past the sidewalk area especially Friday thru Sunday and always cause commotion with other dogs. Dress code is like the environment: capital C for casual. Vibrant architectural colors and smell of fresh fruits abound. The bar, pickup/​delivery area are extremely well kept and the majority of the tables are clean. Seats are barely mediocre on the comfort factor. This place gets jam packed pretty quick during lunch hour weekdays. Breakfast-​brunch on Saturday and Sunday moreso. Background music accompaniment is top 40 pop mainstream stuff = super sux0rs. Positive trade-​off: this is almost directly across from the Oakridge Mall in case you want to multi-​task errands closeby. If you want an efficient Jamba turnaround time, avoid the Jamba Juice inside the mall and go here instead.
Bonus: Groupon purchased July 2014 = $ 16.25 for five Groupons, each good for one 12 oz. freshly squeezed juice (a $ 28.45 value). Fantastic value! #CheckGrouponFirst
Price: It is what it is. You can either make a cheaper & healthier juice/​energy bowl/​smoothies at home or pay someone to create the concoctions and handle the annoying clean-​up hassle afterward. Every 3 years Jamba Juice inches their prices up exponentially so be observant.
Service: Not typically fast UNLESS the line is five people or less. Remember to be polite and patience with the predominantly high school employee age group. All I have encountered through the several years are friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. Employees are chill, nice, professional and welcoming. Ignore any below 5-​star employee reviews for they are false. This destination is worth the wait for whenever you have juice or smoothie cravings with 5 people or less in the que. Staff is only overwhelmed during the spring and summer months as would be expected from the hot high seasonal demand.
Sub-​par: Always some new people training on various shifts therefore please exercise some understanding as to why the service can be unpredictably sluggish.
Verdict: Kale Orange Power = for the win! Ask the staff behind the counter their favorite ways to personalize a juice or smoothie to their specifications. I have followed a customized employee revision on occasion and have been rewarded with an upside surprise. I only rate Jamba Juice in general 4-​stars because I’ve made better organic Whole Foods juices/smoothies@home with my advanced Cuisinart blender. Great place to hit after a workout when you don’t care how you look, LOL. I’ve been enjoying Jamba Juice for almost 20 years and they consistently have cool seasonal specials in rotation which keep the menu engaging. I shall return to savor future customized employee recommendations or my Kale Orange Power with or without a Groupon.

This Jamba Juice is right by my house so my husband and I are in here all the time. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because while most of the time service is great, it isn’t always consistently so. The first few times there were plenty of employees and even though there were a lot of customers, they got to my drinks quickly. However, a few other times I have waited forever for my drinks and felt like only one employee in the place even knew how to make the drinks. I will continue to go here since it’s convenient and the employees are nice at least. My smoothies always taste right also which is really important to me.

At about 9:30pm my girlfriend and I had a craving for Jamba Juice, but I was skeptical that any was open at the time. WRONG! This place was open late on a SUNDAY and was only 15 minutes away from our house. Hell yeahhh!!! Time to get our BOGO on.
Arrived there at about 9:45ish and was welcomed in by the three employees working. They all seem like friendly people. We asked the cashier, Tin, to choose our drinks. He asked what my gf and I wanted for our base. I chose mango and she chose raspberry. Tin rang us up and said to his co-​workers in a cool fashion «I got this one guys» and proceeded to make the drinks.
Drinks came out quickly, not exactly sure what he put in our drinks, but it was Thrist-​Quenching good! Left the store and gave Tin a fist bump for his awesome creation. Thanks: D!

Last night we got a random craving for Jamba and literally ran out of the house to make it here by 10 pm (normally I’d go to the location closer to my place, but it closed at 9:30). We got in the store ten minutes before closing and the employees still took the time to help us instead of rushing to close.
Like always, I asked them to choose a drink for me. Tin (I think was his name) asked us to pick a fruit, and then instead of selecting a drink from the menu personally made us smoothies based on our selections. It was pretty rad that he actually took the effort to make the drinks instead of just selecting whatever was easiest on the menu. Mine was raspberry, my boyfriend picked mango. No idea what the drinks were, but both came out delicious!

Quick, friendly and efficient!
This location is another smaller Jamba Juice but there’s plenty of patio seating outside which I noticed a lot of people used the weekend I stopped in here for my Berry Upbeet Smoothie with Zinc + Vitamin C to cure my cold.
I like that even though there’s a gazillion stores inside this shopping center I was able to find VIP parking right in front.

If you’ve got a cold, go for the cold buster! Everything is delicious!
I love coming here for any occasion. Whether I’m not feeling good and need some extra vitamin c, I go for the cold buster. If I just need some delicious, refreshing jamba I go for orange carrot karma! I love everything here! I also like that they have meal deals now. They’re sandwiches are SOOO good!

I’ve been going to this location of Jamba Juice when it was previously called «Juice Club.» This Jamba Juice is located in the Main Street Plaza. At this particular location the parking is awkward yet plentiful. This is my go to place for Jamba Juice drinks because of the friendly and excellent customer service. Do note that this location is a franchise so the national deals/​coupons for the Jamba Juice corporation will not apply at this location.
