Jamba Juice

My favorite smoothie place and this one is no exception! Friendly, prompt service; even when lines are long I haven’t waited long, which is important when you’re trying to catch your next flight.
Their smoothies are smooth and creamy. I feel like you get more fruit flavor in their drinks rather than syrupy sweetness like other places and they’re not as much like a slushy that other places might try to call a smoothie.
Jamba Juice set the bar for me as to what a smoothie should be!

Terrible acai bowl experience. The «smoothie» portion of the bowl was pure liquid. It was disgusting. If I had more time, I would have gone back and demanded a new one. Also, very slow service! Don’t stop here if you’re in a rush.

Located near the security check point, just where the corridor branch off to terminal D. I got Veggie Vitality, their new item; I was craving for light clean refreshment.
Good mild taste, silky smooth, I like it. All ingredients are well balanced and blended.
One request I would make is their menu board. No pricing info. it’s already too busy with ingredients and calorie info so it could be challenging to crum more in but it took me by surprise when the cashier told me my medium size juice costs $ 7.24 — wow it’s like a price for meal!

Always friendly service and fresh quality juices and smoothies! This is a MUST DO whenever I have time in Charlotte!

So happy there are healthy and quick breakfast options available at the airport! It has been several years since my last Jamba Juice experience and I was super impressed with the menu expansions they have made!
I had the kale and greens smoothie, which resembles the exact drink I make for myself every morning, but it was tastier! I was also able to add chia seeds for 75 cents!
Service was friendly and efficient as well.
This breakfast was so unexpected and really made my day.

Oh haaaaaaillllll yes babygirl! First of all, this was my first time inside (or standing in front of the counter at) any Jamba Juice, in the whole world.
Second of all, I had to catch a flight to Pensacola and connected through Charlotte North Carolina Airport. For whatever reason that never makes sense to me the plane landed on one end of the airport and I was forced to walk TO THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ENTIRE AIRPORT. But on the way I passed a Jamba Juice with a loooooong line in front. I was like… whatever, I require wheat grass and carrot juice immediately, I’ll wait.
For those of you who think juices are overpriced, go buy a juicer and then spend five seconds making juice and fifteen minutes cleaning your juicer. Then I’ll see you in line at the juicing place next week, thanks. If you want, you can buy my juicer. It’s sitting on my shelf feeling lonesome and it’s $ 20.
At the same time I was like, um, this line is really long. I’m scared that they might board the plane without me and then take off without me and I’ll have to… you know, deal with that. I told myself that I would wait five minutes and if the line didn’t move, I would leave.
Well the crew at Jamba Juice BEASTED that line. They ROCKED. OUT. My girl Monica, she was the expo/​kale adder/​smoothie blender. She had that line on LOCKDOWN. Monica is the best. Someone give her a high five. In less than 10 minutes I had made it through the line, ordered, and received my amazing carrot cayenne juice, a double shot of wheatgrass with a complimentary fresh squeezed orange juice chaser, and I was on my way.
Sidenote, dear Jamba Juice Executive Chef: Kale can be juiced, stems AND leaves. It is gross when you add kale leaves to my juice and turn it into a gritty teeth mess. How am I supposed to confidently smile at the lady who takes my boarding pass or the stranger next to me on the plane that I am definitely going to end up sleeping on? On, not with. On.
You would save money by just juicing the entire kale stem/​leaf and you wouldn’t offer an add-​on for an extra however much that diminishes the quality of your product.
Love always and always and always right, about at least 79% of all things,
Allie

I’m 95% sure the sizes and prices are off. Who wants to pay seven bucks for a smoothie? Otherwise, Jamba Juice is a great place to grab a smoothie but I always feel like I’m getting robbed when I stop here.

Always a nice, healthy treat when running through the Charlotte Airport!
This spot is popular but they get you your order post haste. There are many options from which to choose; it’s not just smoothies.
The staff has always been courteous and served me with a smile.
Swing by here for something better than a soda and fries. You’ll thank yourself.

excellent service! it was super busy here early in the morning, but the staff was speedy and smiley, and made changes to drinks (according to food allergies) as needed without any protest. they also serve drinks that are not typically on the menu, which is appreciated. great way to sweeten up my layover!

I love this place. First time going. Excellent fresh made smoothies. Lots of dairy free options. Friendly service. They have a lot of other things like protein bowls and other breakfast items as well. Be warned this particular location can get very busy as it is on a busy corner in the airport

Having Jamba Juice is such a luxury that I don’t feel right buying their smoothies even while I’m on vacation. But I wanted to quickly buy a healthy drink and not get dehydrated on my plane ride. That’s where this store came in, and I’m not even sure the trip was necessary. My drink came up to $ 7.13 total, which is somewhat expected but still too expensive. The drink was overall quite good but very cold to the point of giving brain freeze. If none of that sounds like it would deter you, go ahead and give this store a try.

I enjoy my Jamba and the Charlotte airport has a lot of nice restaurants but in the end you can’t beat a Mango a go go in between flights.

Glad to finally get my Jamba on in Charlotte! After growing accustomed to the delicious and vaguely healthy fruit smoothies from Jamba in the Bay area, I had forgotten about this chain after I moved to NC. Lo and behold, I’m flying through CLT and what do I spy?! The brightly colored, deliciously aroma’ed Jamba Juice as an airport option. I immediately drop all thoughts of an egg mcmuffin and head on to the Jamba counter. At $ 5.80 it’s not cheap for a smoothie but I figure way more healthy than my other options.
I order up a Caribbean Passion smoothie which takes five or ten minutes. I get a smooth, flavorful and fruit-​packed beverage in a styrofoam cup, makes me feel like I’m back in the Financial District of San Francisco. Flavor-​wise it was right on the money so Jamba is still delivering a great taste experience here on the east coast, can you give me a woohoo?!
So thanks Jamba for feeding me some healthy calories this morning. You are exactly what the doctor ordered and come on up to the RDU Triangle!

The people that work here are dumber than a bag full of hammers… handed them their own frequent buyer stamp card after purchasing ten drinks on prior visits and between four employees they couldn’t figure out what kind of discount to provide me on which size drink despite the fact that it says «free 16 ounce drink» right on the card! Another fine example of solid public education in Charlotte! Know what you want and pay in exact change because chances are pretty good that the person working the register will be too stupid to figure out the change to provide you…

I literally ran to Jamba Juice when I arrived CLT. They are worth the mile run even if the terminals are so apart.
Do you ever feel like airport foods are always fast food chain, aka. unhealthy and greasy foods that make you feel terrible afterwards, and then you have to hop on a long flight and feel extra miserable questioning yourself why did you just do that to yourself?
Do you feel like you just want something refreshing, uplifting that will get you from one gate to another with hope and extra energy?
I got an answer for you — run to Jamba Juice and get their Fruit and Veggie Smoothies — Apples ‘n Greens. It has apples, mango and KALE. KALE guys. Apple and kale are probably my favorite combination. I like how they blend the drink — the texture is smooth but the kale still have a bite to it. Yum!
This is a MEAL. It’s a whopping $ 6+ for a medium but let me tell you, it is healthy, filling, and also has the veggies servings that you need. I feel so much better, and probably am better too because it helps with my digestive system. (ok TMI but you know what I mean! :p) Seriously, CLT taught me that I don’t have to eat unhealthy foods or feel like crap just because I am traveling. The service here is excellent, too. They know you are in a time crunch and will get it done ASAP.
This might be the reason why I would choose going through CLT. They just have the best restaurants ever!

Okay, what IS this? Here I go raving about a chain again. I flew through CLT two times last week for work and both times I had me some Jamba. Actually, this airport joint is the first time I’ve had Jamba, EVER. I’m hooked, man, I’m hooked.
I’ve only ever had the Caribbean Passion (strawberry, peach, mango, passion fruit, and orange sherbet), but I swear to you – it’s all the juice that I need. A small only has 230 cals., and it cures what ails you.
Both times we stopped by, the crew was working in perfect order. We went from wanting to having in less than five minutes.
JJ, I’m a convert! Gimme!

I’ve visited this Jamba Juice in the CLT airport a few too many times! On probably 95% of my trips through Charlotte, I’ve felt the need to get one because there isn’t one near me in Philadelphia and it seems to be the perfect layover snack.
There are plenty of options for everyone’s taste: dairy or non, tropical, berry-​based, chocolate-​based, etc. They come in sizes from small to freaking humongous. You can always add in a powder for additional vitamins, energy, or protein. These drinks really can substitute for a meal — given their nutritional value and stomach-​filling qualities!
If it’s not a shake you’re craving, there are pastries, muffins, pretzels, etc. that are also delicious but probably not as nutritious.
Check it out — you won’t be disappointed.

As always this is the place for that extra special «pick me up» and no matter what — I say it’s one of the healthiest places I can go too!
This location is always busy, but they are quite fast at getting you what you want considering what you are getting and it’s always worth the wait.
People are normally friendly and the place — at least what there is and what you can see is clean!

Jamba Juice in the airport because the best way to avoid «Las Vegas Syndrome» is a good dose of vitamin C with their immunity boost. Hey, maybe it’s all a placebo but it seems to work okay for me.
Even if you’re the only person placing your order, it will take at least four minutes for your beverage to be prepared. So if you’re literally running to catch a plane, it might not be the best choice. Though it’s certainly faster than just about every other option in the airport.
JJ is located at the top of the escalator to the E gates, between the D security station and the D gates. Easy!

I love Jamba Juice! I hadn’t been since I lived in NYC for a year in college. I would pass it every day as I headed home, it was awesome. When I discovered it at CLT I was excited since I frequent CLT about once a month to visit the bf. Usually if I am leaving CLT it means I am leaving him so, I tend to drown my sorrows in a Caribbean Passion smoothie (well, and a Cinnabon but, that’s besides the point).
I’ll be honest, I haven’t strayed much from the Caribbean Passion; I use to try other flavors but none of them tasted as good to me! The staff is friendly at this location and gets you your smoothie as quick as they can.
