Jamba Juice

Jamba Juice has gotten EXPENSIVE in recent years, so much so that a $ 5 gift card won’t cover your drink anymore (Jamba Juice cards were one of my go to mini gifts/​prizes at get togethers). I used to go to Jamba instead of other fruit smoothie places but since they are all the same level of priciness now, I opt for other places that support local businesses, for example.
Nevertheless, there are certain times that I crave that nostalgic sweetness that Jamba provides… this location provided quick and friendly service. The nearest parking lot to this location has a bunch of 1 hour (or was it 90 minutes.) parking stalls which means the turnover is pretty quick and I always find parking here.

Great selection of drinks. I really love the use of fresh fruits they use. However, now that I have sat inside at a table with grooves in it filled with gross looking stuff and food in the cracks makes me want to BARF!!! WHAT kind of cleaning do they do here??? Better fix it oe I’m not drinking here…

This is my normal Jamba spot that I always go to… Unfortunately this time I received INATTENTIVE service! I ordered two smoothies cause of my BOGO coupon, and I also ordered the turkey sausage breakfast wrap. After I ordered I stood at the register for what felt like a few minutes. I then had to ask for my total while she was slightly speaking to her coworker…“oh hold on” is what she replied. I’m not sure what was going on for her not to be attentive toward me and my service but the store wasn’t busy at all. Even more disappointing when I received my turkey wrap the tortilla was half open and now that I’m actually eating it it’s HORRIBLY dry! Thanks Jamba Juice for not satisfying my lunch needs! Such a shame!

Got some rude & unhappy workers this morning!!! I ordered my usual Protein berry workout, usually asked if I want it with whey or soy. Wasn’t asked. Cashier, female, was like «is that all you want» in a rude & obnoxious way. The guy… Spinach & egg wrap terribly made, wasn’t served wrapped, was dumped in a bag, and spinach wasn’t evenly distributed. Customer after me got their order before I did. I can see that the workers were out to make me wait. Carrot&Orange & ProteinBerry can’t mess up… 1 star. Thanks Jamba for the exceptional service I received.

I wanted a Jamba Juice today. I passed there a few times earlier and saw that people kept being sent away. Finally at 6:45 I went in and they kept telling everyone they’re temporarily closed but wouldnt give a time on when they would «open» back up. Says they close at 8 and I watched as they cleaned. WHAT THE FUCK?!
At 7:30 they opened back up. It was dead till they closed 30 mins later. I felt like what happened was wrong. Unless something is wrong and you cant make the smothies, why would you temporarily close?

It’s a nice small place I love the mango a gogo. But there is never a place to sit in the area outside of jamba juice.

Love my acai bowl! Made sure to tell them not to put honey as I found it too sweet.
I love their granola!
Super refreshing brekkie or mid afternoon snack.

This Jamba Juice location is at and inside Kahala Mall. It is conveniently located next to of course Starbucks, Whole Foods, GRYLT, and right across from where they usually have the on stage performances and what not. It is pretty busy on weekends. There is usually a line but it is not so bad. The staff and customer service is pretty good. They are pretty much on point most of the time even when it gets really busy and stuff. They only have a couple of table and seating areas inside. Just like most Jambas, it is really not that big. You are best to take your smoothie or whatever to go and take out. There are some areas inside and outside the mall where you can can eat. I am not so sure of the weekday experience though since I mostly visit here during the weekends. Overall it is a pretty good Jamba location.

Disappointing. Last two visits, right now being the most recent, my smoothie was more like a juice. Couldn’t be bothered to complain. Last time it was just as bad and chunks of fruits were left. Inattentive workers — seemed the guy was the only hard worker and the 2 others were slacking even though it was slow.

This location is one of the better ones on the island. It is clean, usually well-​stocked with baked goods, and the staff is friendly! It’s in Kahala mall next to Starbucks & Whole Foods.
My go-​to combo 99% of the time is:
— Apple N’ Greens smoothie (no mango, sub extra banana)
— Apple Cinnamon pretzel, heated of course
I could really have this combo every single day and not get tired of it. I’m a creature of habit.
In the rare chance that I do stray, I’ll probably go with the Choco PB Love if I’m craving dessert, Groovy Guava, or a Banana Berry.

Every time I have dropped into this Jamba Juice after the beach or a hike in the area, it has been practically empty. I love it. The employees are always smiling and are quick to make my order. In and out under 10 minutes!

I am glad that they remade my smoothie. i am no doubt a huge fan of the Kona Berry Blast. I really like it because it is my favorite smoothie as well as the Matcha Green Tea mist, which I have not had it in a long time! I am glad that I like my smoothie very thick and not too watery because it melts too quickly and they will make it like that just for you. I have to admit that there are a a few Jamba Juices that still have the mini scones and I am very glad this one has it so that I can enjoy it. if you buy 25.00 worth of gift cards, you will get smoothie for free! So hurry and get your giftcards and free smoothie!

Thank you to Marissa who made my strawberry chocolate bowl! So yummy & AWESOME customer service!

Ever since I was in intermediate school and jamba opened in Kailua, I have been somewhat addicted to Jamba smoothies. Being the picky eater I am there are only a few flavors I really like. Orange Dream Machine, Strawberries Wild etc.
The Kahala Jamba has gone downhill recently and I’ve noticed that it’s never as crowded as it used to be. This could be partially due to the new «health craze» and people realizing that jamba is not all that healthy, or because the prices have gone up quite a bit. An original size smoothie runs over $ 5 now.
During my most recent visit I ordered an original size Orange Dream smoothie and was pretty disappointed by the fact it wasn’t very well blended. There were huge ice chunks that kept getting stuck in my straw. Also the flavor wasn’t as strong as usual.
The food options have grown and they now sell flatbreads and sandwiches. I strongly recommend the cheddar tomato twist. It reminds me of the pizza protein stick they discontinued a few years ago.
All in all, the Kahala location is an average Jamba Juice. Nothing exceptional but when I’m craving an orange dream machine, it does just fine.

Very disappointed in this Jamba Juice, specifically an employee named «Jay» he is always rude to customers, and rolls his eyes or makes sassy remarks. This guy needs to go, I used to be a regular at this jamba but not any more. Never seen this worker ever do anything nice for any customer. Get rid of him or you will continue to lose customers. I promise you that.

Not up to par with other Jambas, based on my recent visit.
The kid who took my order seemed distracted during the entire transaction. A different employee served me my smoothie with a kind smile, but that didn’t make up for my initial impression — or the fact that there were more unblended frozen fruit chunks in my smoothie than I’d ever had before.

This Jamba Juice is located in Kahala Mall, next to Starbucks.
I personally like this location because my smoothies are usually consistent to Jamba standards, and the staff tends to be friendly and energetic.
Some downfalls to this location, it is small, and when it is crowded to gets a bit squishy in there. However, the staff moves quickly, and you’ll be out with your juice in no time.

Found these weird white hairs/​fibers in my Mango-​a-​go-​go! Gross!!! I always order this drink, and only today I noticed these hairs. To the store’s credit, the employees preparing the drinks had no white hair or facial hair at all. They were all Asian with black hair.
So what’s the deal, Jamba? Is this normal or have you resorted to cheap and artificial ingredients for your drinks to keep profits up?

Usually receive great service sometimes there’s a dud at the register. I remember coming in for a smoothie and trying to figure out what drink it was and was trying to explain it to a guy and he was a little snarky with replies :(didn’t really appreciate that! Otherwise the service has been great here!

This ONE STAR review is specifically for the employee named, «Jay-​Ar»!!! He must not be a «morning person» because he was NOT in a friendly mood at all with any customers he helped during my visit. He was impatient with the indecisive customer in front of me, & he was visibly upset that the customer after me was making him rearrange her box with a big order in it. When of their regular customers made a joking comment about never seeing Jay-​Ar work so hard, Jay-​Ar gave a snide remark & rolled his eyes. Upon showing Jay-​Ar my «Free Oatmeal» coupon from the «Jamba Rewards» scratch card, he rolled his eyes & scraped whatever was left into a small bowl. Wilson (the BEST employee there!) came by & finished the rest of it (brown sugar w/​frozen blueberries). I then told Jay-​Ar I have a relatively big order, & his attitude became a little nicer. (I’m guessing because I was going to actually pay for something & wasn’t just coming for my FREE item!) After ordering wraps, a smoothie, a primo bowl, & oaties, I asked to order a large oatmeal. Jay-​Ar asked if I could wait 5 min or so because a fresh batch is almost done. However, my free oatmeal was already made & waiting. My $ 26 breakfast order was finally complete after TEN minutes when I noticed Jay-​Ar coming with TWO fresh oatmeals. (I seen he didn’t add the blueberries, but he just shoved my order in a bag & sent me off!) When I got home, the oatmeals were NOT as I ordered! They were also the WORST oatmeals I ever had from a Jamba Juice! The bowls were HALF FULL (6oz of 12oz & 8oz of 16oz). Then, in addition to NO blueberries I was charged for in my free oatmeal; my apple-​cinnamon oatmeal had NO apple-​cinnamon filling!
This will most definitely be my LAST time coming to this location for breakfast FOREVER! I actually haven’t come to this location for breakfast for YEARS because of another employee named, Mel. (She overcharged me & gave a whole bunch of attitude with it as well!) However, I noticed she isn’t around anymore, so I figured I’d give it another try. HORRIBLE IDEA!!!
The «Moanalua Shopping Center» location is always busy in the morning, but they make the BEST oatmeal EVERY time!!! I never have to wait, & it is always exactly as ordered… sometimes BETTER! Also, they never give me attitude nor overcharge me, no matter what! I have also gotten oatmeal from the «Airport Center» location, & they were on-​point as well!
On a more positive note, Wilson is always a NiCE face to see at this location! He deserves FiVE STARS!!! Wilson is always happy & smiling, and he makes every customer feel appreciated as soon as they come in the door. I am sure he’s just about the only person at this location whom everyone enjoys & doesn’t have any problems with! I know it’s a lot of responsibility, but I hope Wilson can rub off on some of the other employees, then maybe this location will be a lot better!
