Jamba Juice

Went here to grab a quick smoothie for lunch. The staff were very friendly and promptly greeted us as we walked in the door. They also had free samples of a smoothie for us to try.
It wasn’t very crowded and we got our drinks within minutes. There was plenty of seating inside and it was very clean.
We also got a coupon for a free drink on our next visit for answering a few questions!

I come here not so often, but it’s time I come here regularly. I like the different smoothie and juice blends that they have. The fresh ingredients really makes each item delicious. I’ve even had a shot of grass! I know it doesn’t sound appealing, but for me it was very tasty.

What do you do when you’re hungry but don’t want to chew? Go to Jamba Juice! I personally think this is the best location in the area too (especially compared to Metairie, but that’s a whole other review)! I am particularly fond of the staff; they handle a tremendous volume at this location and always keep it together.
Jamba is affordable and has a wide variety of menu items that are all healthier than Burger King. I’m not a fan of the fresh juices, but I’ve never tried the bottled juices. Smoothie wise, I like the Apples n’ Greens, Kaleribean Breeze, and Orange Dream Machine… It’s just like a dreamcicle. The turkey, egg & cheese breakfast wrap is excellent and their little toaster machine gets the outside perfectly brown and crispy. I’ve never tried the pastries but the crumble cake looks really good.
They always have deals and special offers going. Wednesday is deal day and oatmeal is only $ 1, baked goods and wraps are $ 2, and smoothie bowls, which are out of this world good, are $ 3. Also if you sign up for the loyalty program you earn points for the money you spend, which results in a $ 3 coupon, and you get texts which let you know about flash sales and special daily deals.
I was very skeptical of Jamba when it first came to NOLA, but I’m a huge fan now. Good food (and drinks) and good prices can’t be beat!

I used to come here a few times a week but tried to slow down on the spending money for breakfast. The staff were very nice and worked quickly. I returned today to find that the staff were shouting rudely at each other while several customers were in the store. Given they may not mean for it to come off rudely to each other, it isn’t appropriate to shout «hello I need strawberries» several times to a coworker who is in the casher servicing a customer. I hope their unprofessional actions are looked into by management.

I had a pleasant first experience at Jamba Juice. They had a wide variety of options on the menu and the staff was very nice as well. The smoothies taste fresh and its 10x better than smoothie king imo. Highly recommend and looking forward to coming back in the near future!

There’s really nothing bad to say about this place. It’s clean and very open inside and it’s almost like a break away from the city. I love the energy bowls!

I come here at least twice a week and to Start the emlployees are so nice and courteous, they know my order and always cater to my every need. I really do enjoy there Smoothies and Bowls with fruit and yogurt as seen on the pic I posted. DELICIOUS and will be back tomorrow if not Friday for more. Thanks again and I definitely recommend to anyone who hasn’t tried it!

Everything was delicious and props to Kevan for being helpful and professional 20min before close. You could tell they shut down and cleaned everything and I felt bad about it. But that’s a risk you take when you work this type of job and shut down early, I dealt with the same thing myself when I worked in coffee shops. Everything was great, thanks Kevan!

Very hot day in New Orleans and this was the place to go for a cool drink. Staff was nice and polite. Even though there was a crowd they took good care of the customers.

I love Jamba, despite their apparent raise in prices over the past few years. I do have one complaint, and I’m sure it’s not necessarily limited to this location — please actually attempt to fill up my cup. If there is excess left over, use it to fill the cup to the top. I understand the expense of not wanting to provide tiny cups for overflow, but seriously, sometimes you leave like 10% of my smoothie in the blender and throw it out. There is probably some company policy about not filling it to the top to prevent overflow and keep it clean, but I am not a fan of that policy if it exists, I want my thing filled :(

Seeking relief from an ailing issue, I wearily wobbled into the Central Business District New Orleans location. I didn’t expect much and I certainly didn’t expect to be impressed, but this is what I discovered:
At the start of June 2014, Jamba Juice launched a new menu line which places the «juice» back into Jamba Juice. Food with integrity — the positive trend that utilizes local, sustainable & whole foods that are fresh, organic or GMO-​free — has been incorporating into 500 of Jamba Juice stores nationwide.
This means a whole lotta freshness coming from the CBD location, folks! This location keeps fruits and veggies on ice… produce cut up in front of you and placed into a juicer. You watch the entire process before your eyes! This process is part of Jamba Juices new «Blend in the Good» brand campaign supported by fresh-​squeezed juice.
The new juices focus on high-​nutrient and on-​trend whole foods including kale, beets, cucumbers, apples and oranges — even superfoods like chia seeds — blended into a variety of juices. I ordered one of the new flavors, Citrus Kick. The menu version includes a combination of orange, apple, pineapple and ginger. However, I opted for fresh carrot juice over orange and BAM! that was one delicious decision.
Another part of the campaign that I am interested in seeing expand is Jamba Juices «Master of Blending Arts» — or Jamba MBA — course which requires team members learn about the nutritional value and health benefits of ingredients, juices, blends, and daily requirements. I do not fault the helpful employee who informed me I could substitute fresh squeezed orange for carrot juice in my Citrus Kick; however, it would have been SUPER FANTASTIC if, when asking her if she knew if *insert ingredient here* would help ease *insert problem here,* she would have been able to provide some guidance. I feel confident that when this campaign is fully rolled out and employees are exposed to guidance from Jamba MBA, that they’ll be better prepared to answer customer questions.
A 16oz customized Citrus Kick knocked me back nearly $ 7 and the drink creation time was 2−3x longer than other menu offerings, but I shall not complain! Fresh squeezed is so much more bright and vibrant in color and flavor than juices recirculating in a beverage dispenser! I’ll happily & patiently wait for fresh-​squeezed! Bravo, Jamba Juice! And yes, I did just conclude my review with a paragraph filled with exclamation marks!!! : —)

Of the two Jamba Juices in town, I find this one easier to get to even though its in the downtown area. because of the constant flow of traffic, I can usually find a parking space out front so I can quickly pop in and out for a smooth, especially on weekends.
There aren’t any other surprises about this place. It’s like any other Jamba Juice you’ve been to.
For what you get, it is pricier than the competing Smoothie King.

In a city where healthy food is hard to find, this place is a gem! Always fresh, great service and delicious… what more can you want. My favorite is the Mango-a-go-go…especially the little pieces of fruit in the bottom of the cup.
If you’re looking for a healthy snack (or a meal replacement), give Jamba Juice a try!

Great customer service on a Saturday morning!
We stayed at the hotel near by and would walk here in the morning for breakfast. The services was great and there wasn’t really a line. We did go on the weekend so I am not sure how busy it gets during the work week.

Great drinks but about the same as our local Smoothie King. Today me and a friend tried the Caribbean Passion and the 4 berry, both were great. If your in the CBD and looking for a smoothie this is the place but I don’t know if its worth going downtown for if your not there already.

Oh, Jamba Juice. I thought I had lost you forever when I moved from Chicago to New Orleans a few years ago. A loyal customer while living up north, one of my biggest disappointments after moving south of the Mason-​Dixon was not having a JJ within reach.
There are few truths in an uncertain world, but here’s one: I have never been disappointed with a smoothie from Jamba Juice. Ever! The drink menu is vast and you’d be hard pressed to find something that didn’t suit your palate. They also carry small snack-​like items (muffins, pretzels, mini pizzas and the like) if you’re looking for something to nosh on. Good value for the price and the quality is heads and shoulders above Smoothie King.
I really like that the nutritional information is listed next to each item on the menu, so calorie-​watchers can see at a glance what their options are.

Having moved to the south over a year ago, I have greatly missed certain chains that I took for granted elsewhere, like 24 Hour Fitness, Bank of America, and… Jamba Juice. Heretofore, I’ve had to get my Jamba fix by driving to Houston, TX.
The other day, I was driving down Poydras and saw that there was a Jamba Juice. I immediately turned around and headed in.
If you’re familiar with the chain, this place is exactly what you’d expect. Extra points to this store in particular because the workers know how to make drinks off the secret menu, which is something that sadly cannot be said for all stores.
On the negative side, there is no parking lot so stopping in can be inconvenent. And for whatever reason, drinks here cost about $ 2 more than what they cost at other Jamba Juice stores.
For now, this is my only place to get my Jamba, so I’ll begrudgingly pay the markup.

Just as I remember it! Yummy in my tummy: D
What I love about this place is the variety of healthy choices; true, there is sorbet in the smoothies, but get the all fruit if you wanna feel good about yourself! or do what I do and venture into the «fruit n veggie» ones :) I love berry upbeet, but that’s cause I love beets (don’t judge!)
Oh, and fresh squeezed juices! I LOVE carrot juice (again, no judging! haha), and if I’m not in the mood for a smoothie, I like to get half and half (you can ask for half carrot and half orange juice).
BUT why you so expensive? :(either I haven’t been at Jamba in a while or Jamba in Nola is just more expensive than anywhere else… I remember sixteens (the smallest size) being $ 3 something back in California, but here it’s $ 5 something!
Please don’t rob poor post-​college kids like me. Our pockets are empty already…

I was really pumped to finally try one of these in NOLA. The smoothie was pretty awesome, it was the mango go go and you could really taste the mango. And I think it was like $ 5 and some change, which is a very fair price in the CBD.
The real reason this location gets 5 stars, though, is that right before I came here, I had to go to two different banks, and I was carrying about $ 775 around for a rent payment. I actually left the bank envelopes in the store. After I got to my car and realized I didn’t have them and started freaking out, I called the store and they were holding them at the register for me, with all the cash still inside! Still good to know there are honest people in the world.

Yay, some new variety for the CBD area. Being from Southern California, I’ve seen my fair share of Jamba Juices. This is pretty much just like all the others.
They offer a variety of smoothies, juices, tea infusions, oatmeal, soft pretzels and muffins. They also have what they call «California Flatbreads» which are like miniature pizzas.
My favorite smoothies are the Carribean Pleasure and the Mango-​a-​Go-​Go. I have yet to try the Flatbreads yet, but they looked good.
This is a nice addition for us working folks around the CBD.
