Jamba Juice

Stopped in, after walking from the Hawaii Convention Center. My first from Hawaii in a while; luckily it wasn’t far away from Kuhio Banyan Club. This Jamba seemed new, but actually has been around for a while. I talked to the employee that made my «Strawberries Wild» smoothie, and she mentioned that this location was shutting down due to Starbucks wanting to expand.
I stopped in while business was slow, and got great service as always; it’s Hawaii of course. I live in Chicago, and miss the Aloha spirit from living in Hawaii for 3 years.
Great Jamba Juice; that sits along the Kuhio strip!

How do you run out of large cups. You sell drinks. Juice is in the name or your store. It makes me wonder what else is being overlooked. Cleaning, sanitation, you know little things like that.

We came here two days in a row (yesterday morning and this evening)…both times wasn’t really greeted or felt welcomed.
We went to the Jamba Kaneohe location a couple days ago and they were super friendly, smiles and all! As much as we love Jamba with this weather, I just don’t think we’re gonna return here… it’s also pricier than the Kaneohe location — prolly b/​c it’s in Waikiki tourist area… bummer, I can always use a Jamba fruit fix!

How the hell do you run out of bananas and blueberries. Aggravating! Learn how to do inventory!!!

Jamba Juice Waikiki trade is an awesome store! It’s very clean inside and is a nice place to visit! The fruit smoothies are fantastic! I love their Acai bowls too! Sometimes when it gets busy it takes them awhile to ring me and other people up, but they are understaffed, so I understand. I will definitely be returning everyday for my fruit/​veggie fix! :D

Ugh, this was not good. They did NOT get the proportions right. No bueno.

This review is month’s overdue. Haha.
Customer Service:
–Upon walking in, the workers greeted us and were very cheerful.
Drinks:
–We tried both the pitaya/​dragonfruit and guava drinks because we don’t have any of those in California. Haha. I forgot what the drinks were called, but they were all so goooooood! :D
Definitely a must when I visit!

全くおすすめしません。避けるべき店です。
まず店が汚い。
店員 見た目不潔そう。 きちんとオーダー取れない。注文した スムージーが作れない。
そもそも作り方を知らない。
結果は同じスムージーを他店で買ったものと比べた時、見ため、色、味、全て違って
この店のものは不味く、飲めたものでは無かった。
オアフ最低最悪のジャンバジュース店と思われます。

The tropical dragon is a must! Nice service, clean shop, cool AC.

Way to cancel 2hrs before a fundraiser. That is poor reflection of community support.

I did not have high expectation for this place: just an average chain juice bar. I was wrong, it was below average…
The staff seemed to have something very important thing to do/​on her mind, she was so reluctant to take my order that she needed to be reminded by another staff. She did not greet me or say anything to me, and the only thing I can feel is that she did not want us to be here… Well I guess I should be sorry…
And the energy bowl we got tasted horrible. I guess the ingredient missing is care…

I always debate whether I should stop by Jamba Juice or Starbucks before heading to work. They’re both conveniently located next to each other in the Waikiki Trade Center and I always (for some reason) have time to visit these often tourist-​packed, crowded locations.
Before I even walked into this store, the chances of me getting a drink from either Jamba or Starbucks was 50:50.
My first experience was terrible. I walked up to the register and waited… waited… waited… There were two people working and, while one person was making somebody else’s smoothie, the other incompetent worker just stood by and chatted with her coworker. And there were only two customers in the store! I had to wait so long just to order a smoothie only to then have to wait longer for them to make it. Seriously, I waited about ten minutes total. To put it simply, the customer service was shit.
My second experience was a little better. There was only one person working and he was quick to notice that I walked up to the register and was ready to order. He even made my drink in less than five minutes so I wouldn’t have to rush to work.
After just two experiences with this store, the chances of me getting a drink from Jamba literally fell to 20:80.

Well I am glad I was able to get my jamba fix. I normally would not be in this area but since the other jamba juices were not open, I came to this location, which was opened. I was surprised to hear that the kona berry juice was out. So I tried the acai smoothie, which wasn’t bad at all and thanks to Mariz’s recommendation, I got to try it and it was fabulous as always. It pays to try something different for a change, which is a very good choice for me. Everytime I wanted to try a new smoothie, I end up not doing it. I’m so used to getting the same thing over and over again, which is ok, but sometimes I just feel the need to try something different so I don’t really bore myself with just having the same thing all the time. So this location is a very good spot for anything that you want if there’s not enough time for you to get breakfast and lunch too. Also check out the soups and sandwiches that they offer. This is a good location and backup if the other jambas are closed for the day.

this Jamba Juice store is located in the waikiki trade center, right next to ASB and Starbucks.
I came here before I started work this morning because I didn’t have time to make breakfast and I was starving. when I entered the store, it was a mess! how can when the store was barely open for 1.5hrs? plus, they had stacks of a huge order of drinks sitting right in front of their pour station, blocking the part where customers grab their drinks.
at the time, the store had maybe 4 other customers inside waiting with 2 workers on the floor. I was the only customer waiting in line and although I knew they were busy trying to finish the other customers orders, I got a little turned off when the worker told me he would help me in a couple minutes… he could have worded it differently if you ask me. 4mins pass by and I still haven’t been rung up. I was so ready to just leave because it was cutting close to 8a and I start work at 8. the guy finally helped me after waiting for about 5mins. all I ordered was a 12oz oatmeal with brown sugar and strawberries. I got my order under 1 min but when I left the store, I noticed how little toppings I got and how poorly the girl cut my strawberries. well there went my money
after the slow service and the lack of toppings on my oatmeal, I don’t think I’ll be coming back to this location!

Friendly employees, delicious drinks, speedy service.

Never been a big fan of Jamba Juice in other cities that I have lived. However the staff at this location make it amazing. With their great recommendations and knowledge of all the drinks is amazing.
I always get the orange dream machine substitute real orange juice for the concentrate with extra orange sherbet and yogurt.

If anyone wants to know what it’s like to feel invisible, visit this store!
Yesterday, I learned the value of a simple «hello». Usually, anytime I visit a Jamba Juice, I can find myself being greeted as soon as I walk through the doors and the «hello’s» just echo throughout the store regardless if they’re swamped with customers after a marathon or if the store is completely empty. Granted, sometimes, the workers sound monotonous, but who wouldn’t after trying to shout over the blenders for hours on end. Nevertheless, they acknowledge your presence and you continue to do your business from there.
I was on my way to my car from work and it was scorching hot so I decided to stop by to grab a quick drink. I originally planned on getting a Starbucks, but the line was as long as the Mississippi River (k, maybe half the length) so I scurried to Jamba Juice instead and was so relieved to find that it was completely empty! I’m thinking «YAY! I can enjoy a refreshing drink as I continue to walk to my car!»
I walk through the doors and there is one customer standing at the register reading a pamphlet, two girls behind the counter; one blending a smoothie and the other washing blenders. (NO ONE ELSE IN THE STORE) Seriously, guys, I stood there for 3 to 4 minutes and NO ONE says anything to me! There was one moment where the girl washing the blender turned around and made eye contact with me, then she turned away and continued washing her blenders.
Needless to say, I walked straight out the door smoothie-​less. C’mon, guys, I mean, I’m not trying to be a diva, but at least SOME acknowledgement to let me know you’ll be right with me? A smile? SOMETHING?
Sorry, Jamba Waikiki, I gotta give you 1 star for service being that I didn’t get to buy a smoothie to bump up my rating.

This is the slowest jamba juice in the world. I feel bad for the workers, whenever I come in, there is always a line and the workers seem lethargic. Like other jambs juices, it’s also always so loud in here that I have to yell out my order. More so I end up feeling bad for the workers because the customers are yelling at them all day. Maybe that’s why they’re so grumpy.
I always order orange berry blitz. It’s no longer on the menu, but they can still make it. It’s definitely the yummiest flavor, so I don’t know why they took it off he menu. I also follow jambs juice hawaii (note, it’s different from the national jamba site). The regular jamba fb will give you coupons you can’t use in hawaii. So dumb. So jamba hawaii has it’s own promotions.
This location is convenient for me, but for those of you who don’t frequent waikiki, it may be hard to find parking. But I believe this is the only jamba in waikiki.

Came at 6:45 am to take advantage of their oatmeal special for $ 2 with coupon. The cashier promptly tells me that it’s going to take 20 minutes because the oatmeal isn’t cooked yet n she can’t figure out how to charge me; had to go get help. So I have to wait 20 minutes… If the business is open at 6:30 am, shouldn’t they be ready to serve at 6:30 am??? Seriously!
In all fairness, though, the oatmeal is DELICIOUS, steelcut (whatever that means!) with berry (blueberries and blackberries) sauce and brown sugar! You can also have apples n cinnamon, brown sugar or fresh banana flavors. It’s not the Quaker Oats mush that comes in a package. Its chewy and hearty and really good!

Walking all around Waikiki can make you sweat and mighty thirsty in the hot blazing sun.
Not in the mood for a cold brewski yet… Yes I don’t always have to have a cold beer to cool down. lol!
This Oasis that saved me is located on Kuhio Avenue in the Waikiki Trade Center on the street level. Walking into this clean cool air conditioned location I order up a Strawberries Wild Smoothie, in no time it’s done, plant my a$$ in a chair inside of this Oasis and I feel this zombie coming back to life again.
*Thanks Jamba for saving me!
