Jamba Juice

Jamba Juice has been my go to place when it comes to fresh juice! Personally I love the ones with veggies but everything Ive tried are really decent.

First, this has nothing to do with their products, I love what they have to offer. However, their customer service truly sucks beyond belief. I normally do not write bad Unilocal reviews because I like to be the one to leave positive notes, but they need a wake up call. Anyways, they have repeatedly been clueless on how to redeem a coupon on their register when I visit this store in particular. Coupons the company provides their customers with online via email & social media, mind you. They act completely shocked and lost when I have presented a coupon multiple times. Every time it is always the excuse of not being trained how to properly manual a coupon code on the register and a lack of «authority» to override the discount amount since they are not a manager, nor have a manager on duty. They just suggest to come back again when a manager is there… which in reality is ridiculous. Why would I want to waste my time/​money/​gas to return to a store just because of their incompetence? Or they suggest to buy the item at full price. Both unacceptable suggestions in my eyes. I don’t understand why this is such a hard concept to grasp? If the employees are incapable of inputting a coupon code into the register, there should be signage before entering the establishment clearly stating «WE DO NOT ACCEPT COUPONS. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.» Instead, I have been given poor customer service time and time again. Complete disappointment from this establishment.

This Jamba Juice is a sh*t show. Walk in and there’s people EVERYWHERE, with no distinction as to what’s a line and who is waiting. No direction from employees either. Everyone working there is a teenager running around with fear in their eyes looking at this crowd waiting excruciatingly long for their drinks. Conrad, the cashier, was the only one who looked like he knew what to do, but was stuck at the register. It took way too long for my simple double wheatgrass shot (no complicated smoothie here), only to walk up and see she’s made me a single. When I ask she gives me this confused look and I’m just like, «F this», drink my single, and leave. Certainly won’t be returning.

Waited way too long for my drunk and they ended up spilling it. They didn’t even tell me so that I can just cancel the order and get going so I had to wait twice as long. Not cool when people that comes in after you gets your order first. Drink was overpriced.

Cold day, but I love Jamba Juice smoothies. Wandered into the store on the way to work. It was just me there, because only crazy people drink smoothies when it’s freezing outside. I was kind of shocked that there were four people working. Anyway, imagine my horror. I got to work and found that my sweet mango a go go smoothie was so poorly blended that the ice and chunks of mango made it impossible to drink through a straw! $ 5 for an undrinkable smoothie.

White gummy. All day err day.
I love Jamba Juice and I LOVE the White Gummy. You gotta do it. The secret menu has a lot of perks and a lot of good stuff on it. I’d say while of course the originals are delicious, the white gummy (named after the elusive white gummy bear) and the pink star (strawberry starburst) are by far the best.
Happy eating my friends. Stay hongry ;)

Clean restaurant conveniently located in the University Village next to the RAM. They consistantly make great drinks and have very good customer service. If you sign up for their email list, they will send you coupons for either buy one get one deals or money off your order which is a great perk.

Jamba Juice rules. It’s refreshing, tasty and good for ya !
What don’t ya get about that?

I don’t know… I’m not too crazy about Jamba Juice. It seems really sugary and their smoothies are too thick. I know smoothies are supposed to be thick but these are TOO thick for my taste. But if that’s what you’re into– perfect.
With that said, if you get one with less sugar, this is a healthier option than a lot of places out there. The staff is nice, they move pretty fast and this place smells nice and healthy when you walk in. :)

This location is a bit hard to find since it’s tucked away in the farthest corner of the shopping complex, but I suppose it was done that way since it’s walking distance from both the Apple Store and the Microsoft Store.
I was helping out at a Microsoft event and stopped in for my birthday smoothie. It came out to under $ 2 for the regular size, and was a mix of fresh fruit juice. It was a lot sweeter than the carrot and orange juice I usually order, but it was a nice change! The store was empty but I was still served with enthusiasm, which can sometimes be hard to do when you’ve only had a handful of customers in the past hour.
I almost always go with carrot and orange juice when I go to a Jamba Juice because it’s the perfect balance of sweetness. I wish it were a bit pulpier, but that’s how I like juice in general. If it’s your first smoothie experience and you’re having some sticker shock I would definitely go with that! It has some nutritional value and is one of the less expensive options on the menu.
Full disclosure, I have been working in a professional capacity with Jamba Juice this year through a third party. (

Just your normal, everyday Jamba Juice. Nothing special or standoutish about this particular location. I think now that I’ve lived in such a health-​conscious Seattle for 1.5 years I’m a bit turned off by how Jamba uses fruit juices and sorbets in most of their drinks instead of blending raw fruits and vegetables.
It is conveniently located in UVillage shopping center next to the Apple store.

Dear Jamba Juice,
Why is it so hard to find one of your stores in Seattle? In San Francisco, you have a shop approximately every block-​and-​a-​half. And, back in the glory days, when you had a shop on First Hill, I would sometimes buy me a Peanut Butter Moo’d (PBM) and then walk downtown. Strangers would stop me on the street to ask me where I bought my Jamba Juice. For real. You have a market here; so, why are your shops so few and far between?
Anyhow, I am certainly glad that this location is still around and (apparently) going strong. I stop in here when I am at U-​Village and thirsty and/​or feeling the need for a pick-​me-​up. (A PBM serves as a «small meal» and certainly does the trick when the next real meal is several hours away and I need something to tide me over until then.) I love walking around U-​Village on a warm day and love it even more when I am sipping a Jamba Juice while doing so. The staff here are super friendly, always make me feel welcome, and have my drink blended and paper-​cap strawed in no time.
This is a great shop in a great location. Please do not close it. But, please do feel free to open some additional shops within the 206.
Signed,
A PBM Fan

This location is usually super busy on weekends and of course, parking is crazy no matter what day. The people working are nice and this location is pretty fast, too, I’m guessing they need to be since it’s so busy. Prices are steep, but for an occasional treat, I don’t see a reason why not. Smoothies are always tasty and some even have 3 servings of fruit & veggies, which means they even better for you. I’ll stop by this location again when in the area and when I can find parking!

The fourth star is for the service at this location.
Jamba Juice is a pretty standard chain juice bar. I’ve been a customer for at least ten years. The prices go up significantly and the smoothies haven’t changed very much. They do, however have more «healthy» combinations (all fruit, light, etc) and make a great snack/​light meal.
I usually add soy milk to my smoothies to add a creamy nature. I’d recommend a five fruit frenzy or a peach pleasure. When I was in college I swore by their Coldbuster. The marketing worked.
If I was looking for a gourmet smoothie, I’d go to Evolution Fresh, but when I’m feeling nostalgic I go for Jamba Jamba!

This will soon be a dated review, but for now, BOGO smoothies? Yessir! Although, I have no clue whether or not Jamba Juice is actually healthy for you, the idea that I’m getting fruits and veggies without having to go to a grocery store and cooking or boiling or steaming or shucking them makes me feel ultra healthy while being ultra lazy.
Recently got their fruit and veggie one. Not bad, like drinking an ice cold V8, if you like that sort of thing. I give this specific location four stars because they seem to make the smoothies with the consistency I love: icy and thick, none of that runny, snot juice.
Go get a free one and give one to your soul mate… or your enemy, and maybe y’all can be friends. Offer ends soon.

Lots of great smoothies and yogurt drinks. My favorite is the Strawberries Wild. You get a free additional shot of energy, daily vitamin, vitamin C, etc.
You can get a larger size and split it into 2 cups if you want to share.
This location is small, but nice. There are a few tables inside and then another couple outside.
Clean bathrooms, but you need to get a key from the cashier.

I have always loved Jamba Juice. Growing up in LA they were always around. Here in the PNW there are few and far between but I still love that I can get my Pina Colada still.

This Jamba Juice seems a little easy to miss since you have Crate & Barrel next door, and the two tech giants (Microsoft and Apple) around the corner. But since my boyfriend and I frequent University Village quite a bit, we always manage to stop by Jamba Juice.
There is very limited seating in this store, so I wouldn’t suggest bringing your entourage here with the intention of grabbing a seat. However, whenever we come here, I find that they are pretty quick with the smoothies. Don’t forget to get your free shot of Vitamin C or whatever you want (listed on the «free shot» category).
My favorite drink is the Orange Dream Machine — reminiscent of Orange Julius drinks, but a lot creamier. Delicious!

If you didn’t already know… I love Jamba.
This particular location was a great stop before our drive across the mountains, as it was easy to find, had ample parking, and was staffed by really nice people! Seriously… they helped us with directions to get the to highway, made delectable smoothies and all with genuine smiles on their faces!
I suppose it’s pretty hard to be cranky when surrounded by yummy citrus smells =D

It smells fruity in here! (First impression)
The employees were very peppy.
The smoothies were good.
I was able to find something that was all fruit/​juice and my friend was happy to find a tasty option that didn’t use soy.
She was very sad, however, when she realized their oatmeals (it’s a new thing) contain soy.
It was loud inside and there was only (I think?) one table. I really think they just want you to come in, grab a drink, and go.
Will I go back?
Yes… if I get another «buy one original size smoothie, get one free» coupon from the Student Survival Kit. I love smoothies… but I figure that if I’m spending $ 5+ on a drink, it better have some booze in it (or be extra special somehow)! Plus tasty smoothies are easy enough to make at home anyway.
