Jamba Juice

On Unilocal it says they close at 9:30. I got here at 8:45 to find out they were closed. Waste of a check in! I lost out on my coupon.
Very disappointed with the misinformation.

The juice and smoothies were good and what you expect from Jamba Juice (we visited this particular location twice in 24 hours). I thoroughly enjoyed the matcha almond milk smoothie (minus the matcha) which consisted of dates, kale and bananas.
The super unfriendly service is why I’m giving it three stars. It’s not cool to walk up to a counter to place an order only to feel as if you are inconveniencing the staff with your presence. (Date of visit 1÷3÷15 early afternoon)

Worst smoothies we have ever had! No flavor and tasted like ice and sugar. Disappointing at best!

They seem to never have enough of everything (eg., don’t ask for Matcha Green Tea Blast). They work fast and that’s good but it seems like management would make sure their stock is full in such a high traffic area… it’s a train station for Christ’s sake!

Excellent customer service (weekly morning crew) and their smoothies are made just right! If you check-​in at this specific location on Unilocal,you can earn points to your rewards + have access to different deals.

Not OK.
I figured I would have time to grab a juice before my bus departed… But I took a really long time for someone to take my order and then it another 15 to make my juice bc they kept skipping me on accident. I don’t think it should take 20 minutes to take an order and get a juice… Normally I wouldn’t mind— but there were 8 people behind the counter and being at a bus/​train station– there didn’t seem to be any sense of urgency. By the time they started on my drink— she threw some greens and a bunch of ice in a blender– it was 50% foam which I threw out. I paid almost 8 dollars for nothing. Waste of time and money– not a happy camper.

Best service I have ever received at a Jamba Juice. Super accommodating staff, friendly, and willing to go the extra mile to give me what I want. I had the green juice that was really good. They put in extra super greens for me which I was desperate for. Other stores have given me a hard time about that before.

Your basic Jamba Juice, and ok-​ish service. I would steer away from the heathier smoothies and juices, as they aren’t as tasty as their original menu.

The most miserable employees I’ve ever encountered! I felt guilty asking them to make my smoothie! Smoothie tasted great though!

It was hard to find this place esp when I didn’t know it was in Union station I called to ask but she only gave me a street and my iPhone was giving me bad directions after 30 minutes of walking in the cold we were finally here
Love all the energy bowls I always get the mango one they have deals all the time if you text there number I also like the cheesy pretzel !

The cashier was nice made the smoothies fast they were nice and icy cold and tasted great, like any other Jamba Juice location the smoothie was delicious.

I’m shocked that I even have to write this. After glowing initial reports of the energy bowls, during my past two visits I’ve gotten pretty skimpy bowls. There was barely any actual fruit in my most recent bowl. Maybe I was spoiled by the hearty portions when the energy bowls were first introduced, but if this is the «actual» size of a 16 oz bowl, then this definitely not enough for any lunch and is also DEFINITELY not worth the $ 8 price.
Don’t believe me? See my photos for a comparison.

I come here every time I travel through Union Station (2−4x/month). It’s a great grab-​and-​go healthy snack.
In the afternoon, the service is great. The staff will even talk with you a bit while you’re ordering. Very friendly.
In the morning, you can forget about friendly. I understand the morning rush requires fast turnaround but that doesn’t mean the experience can’t be pleasant AND fast. A simple «Good Morning» and a smile would do but the need for speed seems to remove all niceties.
Regardless, the smoothies are good. Not always blended well (again, morning rush) but still gets 4 stars. I’ll definitely continue to make my smoothie stops when I’m at Union.

I finally found a place I can Jamba in DC! I know there are finally a few more in the city, but this is the first one I have stumbled across in my daily activities. I was recently waiting for an Amtrak train here at Union Station and I couldn’t resist the call of the Jamba when I saw the sign of the conveniently located shop right across from several Amtrak Gates. I used to order the Strawberry Whirl. I think they call it something else now. I like that you can order a lower sugar version now. I remembered to do this the last time I ordered one at the Jamba in CLT and it was very good. I usually always get the immunity boost to support a healthy voyage. I’m almost looking forward to the next time I am forced to fly out of BWI so I can come here and have a Jamba before my train!

Greeted by a lively exterior, I enter the stall with strong anticipation as I have a great adviser, a Unilocaler, who urge me to try. I did and I fell in love with the fresh juices. I had a few tries mostly a carrot-​apple combi as I am so convinced that the duo makes a perfect match in my entire life. It sure is until now, undoubtedly.
The service has been gracious and fast. I will be back again when I revisit the country.

Overpriced and inconsistent. I have stopped here numerous times on my way home and this time will be the last. Their smoothies are always inconsistent and taste horrible. $ 7 for crap that I just took one sip and threw in the trash immediately. I didn’t bother taking it back because it took 15 mins to get this one and didn’t want to spend another 15 mins listening to 5 blenders and screaming teenagers (the employees). I have never seen a single manager in this joint. The only thing that is consistent about this place is that the cashiers are always rude.
Get an Odwala juice instead.

Let me first say, I love Jamba Juice. Just not this location. And it all comes down to the staff. I ordered a large smoothie before an early morning train ride from Union Station. When the guy filled up the cup, it came up about two inches short — about the size of a regular. He was happy with that and was putting on the lid when I pointed out to him that he shorted me by a good amount. Clearly, this pissed him off. He wordlessly made another batch to fill up my cup and ever since then he has recognized me and shot me a glare other times I’ve been in there. Oh, and this guy is the manager. Could these people care any less? Nope.
(I realize by writing this review I am running the risk of him spitting in my smoothie if I stop in again. Maybe I won’t.)

Skip the always-​ridiculous line at Starbucks down the hall and hit up Jamba Juice for a yummier and healthier (and faster) alternative. This location has all the regular options you know and love at other Jamba stores. A little Kona boost or wheatgrass shot — you can have it here.
I’ve been here a few times (my favorite — the Pomegranate Pick-​Me-​Up) and the staff keeps things moving along here at a relatively quick pace. However, in attempts to be quick, sometimes there can be a little messiness involved — my smoothie yesterday was dripping all down the sides and coming out of the top, and the smoothie-​maker didn’t do anything to wipe it down — just stuck it inside another paper cup (a bit wasteful, in my opinion) — and it still continued to drip all over my hands. Not a huge deal, but it keeps this location at 3 stars.

Really energetic and helpful staff here — especially the cashier!
Being that DC is approaching its prime time tourist season, places are going to have some characters stroll in and there were some at my visit. But the cashier warmly greeted them and answered their questions. Keep the line moving — I like it!

I’ve heard amazing things about Jamba Juice as a company but I cannot say that I was the least bit impressed with my experience. Being a first timer, I felt like the assembly-​line service was very impersonal. The first thing you see when you walk in is a rope indicating the line and the menu. That didn’t leave very much room for me to inquire or ask questions about the menu and my options. There’s also not a lot of time to make up your mind. The ordering line moved too quickly for me to hop in it without knowing what I wanted. I’d only be holding everyone else up. But at the same time, I couldn’t really ask any menu questions without getting in line. It just wasn’t a good look in my opinion.
Okay so I go ahead and order the dang on smoothies and wait for them to be made. Instead of going by orders, they send each individual smoothie ticket down the assembly line. Somehow, the smoothies end up not being together (not really sure that happens though since they are all on the same ticket) And each time one of my orders was up, they’d scream my name really loud. I had 3 different smoothies and found this part extremely annoying. Why not put all my smoothies together and make them all at the same time then scream my name once? Would that have been too much to ask?
Finally, the taste test. It certainly wasn’t worth the price. I paid $ 20 for 3 smoothies and I didn’t like the consistency of mine. It was way too loose. The flavor was okay. But nothing I’d go gaga over. All in all, there is absolutely nothing special about this experience and I won’t be coming back.
