Jamba Juice

No one is ever there to help you anymore. Just shut it down if you can’t maintain the shop.

As other reviewers have mentioned before, PLEASE HIRE MORE STAFF on hot summer days to accommodate with customers.
There was only one girl working– Tamika seemed overworked and was trying her very best. She had to help one customer at a time (take their order-​make their drink) while all the rest of us waited on the side. I want to point out that she is really great despite the situation, she listened and smiled politely while I placed my orders. She provided us solutions when they didn’t carry the menu choices we wanted. I was impressed with her professionalism and how great her drinks turned out– she is a master blender in our opinion!
Many of us waited patiently for our turn. There was no line whatsoever– which was confusing because when I arrived there were 2 individuals who had not paid but were sitting in the chair so I assumed they’re simply waiting for their drinks. (Then as I approached the cash register I was being warned by the patron sitting down that he was in line…) That was uncomfortable as I muttered, «OK, SURE.» and literally stood by him while he was sitting down comfortably. I know what ya’ll were thinking: let the man sit and relax! Well… from what I could tell, he’s not an elderly or anything and was younger than me. Show some respect seriously youngsters these days.
P. S. They don’t carry the same menu as the rest of the Jamba Juice stores– I was told that when I tried to order my husband’s drink that we’ve been getting at the Jamba Juice nearby the Oarkridge mall (our 1^st choice actually– although it is more than 15 mins away.)
This was my 1^st time at this particular location and out of the norm because I happened to be shopping at this particular Safeway location.
I loved the drinks today, however– unless I see two employees at least– don’t think I will want to wait in line again.
Oh and this location closes at 7pm.

Please hire more people to assist the one girl there in either making smoothies, helping customers pay, or otherwise preparing food. It takes forever to get a smoothie from here. I know the corporate fat cats are all about the bottom line, but if I see this poor girl struggling again, I am going to hop the counter and steal all the money from the register. I’ll be the guy dressed in all green and calling himself Robin Hood.

I went into this Jamba Juice several times before heading to work and the girl is NEVER there ! I have to tell another staff member that I’ve been waiting for 10 minutes until they call someone to come. This has happened several times, I will now be going to a different Jamba Juice. And they only put like 5 slices of bananas on my mango peach bowl.

This was my first time going to this location. I ran over on my lunch break at 12:45pm. It took the girl 20 minutes to make my drink. Maybe if my drink was actually blended, I wouldn’t have been so annoyed.
I got a Caribbean passion. That is the drink I always get. It tasted nothing like a Caribbean passion but that is possibly because about 75% unblended.
So I had a crappy smoothie that took my entire lunch break to make. I will not be returning.

I am upset that I wasn’t the first one to review this Jamba Juice, but I’ll let it slide because the first reviewer beat me by two years. Yes, as you heard, this Jamba Juice accepts gift cards. That is important because the Jamba Juice in Norman Mineta Airport doesn’t. Jamba Juice is a great chain, and this branch inside Safeway is wayyy better than any Starbucks pop-​up store inside a Safeway. This Jamba Juice only has one girl working here, or at least on the days that I’ve been, it’s been the same girl. Still, the wait isn’t long. She may have the solo act down better than any Starbucks barista I’ve encountered since she has a good memory and constantly operates multiple blenders at once. I must praise her for her efficiency. The receipt you get says Safeway because you swipe your Safeway card before you pay, and apparently I’m 5 Jamba Juices away from my complimentary drink. That’s pretty cool, four stars!
Also, the seating area in front of this Jamba Juice is more than accommodating. It’s a place to sit down and enjoy your Jamba to the last drop.

Located inside Safeway, this Jamba serves up the good stuff you expect from the well-​known chain. They just recently started accepting Jamba gift cards — thank you!!! As you approach the Safeway, the Jamba is on the left side. If you want Starbucks, head to the entrance on the right. Ample seating area where you can sip your Jamba and people watch.
