Jamba Juice

I love this little juice stand inside of the Safeway grocery store. I get the Kale-​Ribbeon Breeze and it is amazingly good and healthy feeling/​tasting. Bianca is the woman that helps me usually and she is epic, always smiling and full of joy. She makes the best juice!

i wish i could put non stars! Service sucks say they’ll be open 7, they don’t come in until later. I don’t know if the schedule changed or they’re just late but for those of us who actually have to go to work on time do not bother coming here early am or you will be stuck waiting and then having to leave because they never show up!

This is a hidden location inside the Safeway. I stopped by one day for lunch as I wasn’t particularly hungry. There was only one person ahead of me and I ordered a small Mango Refresher. I sat down at the one table next to it. A group of teenagers, about 5, came after me and ordered. I noticed as I was sitting, in a few minutes, they were all getting their drinks, and a small line started to form, while I had still not gotten anything. About ten minutes later I got up and asked the cashier if they had already made my drink as about 6 people had gotten their drinks after me. She had no idea where my drink was and asked another lady in Spanish about it. I can understand Spanish, so it was clear they had forgotten about it. The other lady just dumped some ice cream in a pre made pitcher and mixed it up while saying something to the cashier in the back. I’ve never known them to just leave mango mix in a blender, so I’m not sure what that was? They gave me a extra large size drink to make up for it, but I’m pretty sure it’s not the drink I ordered. It tasted like powder and was entirely too sweet. Probably will not be going again.

***** This location is INSIDE of the Safeway supermarket. *****
At first, I didn’t know it was inside the Safeway and went crazy trying to find it.
Parking is not terrible but not terribly convenient since you have to park as if you are going grocery shopping at Safeway and there are no «15 minute» type special parking spaces.
There was only one girl working, but fortunately there was no line and I was immediately served. She was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately the hours are really short and they don’t have «My Fruitful Rewards» program set up yet.
I didn’t realize until after I finished my smoothie at home that there were a few unblended chunks left at the bottom.

Jamba Juice, the store in general, is one of my favourite places in California. They have the best tasting, and yet nutritious smoothies, bars, and meals! My favourite smoothie is Razzmatazz. The staff there are very friendly, and usually don’t mess your orders up.
Occasionally, new staff, will have the tendency to not fill the whole cup up. You can’t blame the new stuff though, because once when I ordered a sixteen a new member accidently added too many ingredients and gave me an original. Now, they didn’t ask for extra charge nor did they dump it out! Instead the warm-​hearted staff just passed me the drink and apologised for their mistake! This is not something you see everyday, but it just represents that the staff there aren’t greedy, they place costumers first.
Ok, well that doesn’t happen everyday. But once I took my daughter to their store [not this specific one] and the store was suppose to close at 8:00pm. When we went in a few costumers were still hanging out, and the staff were very generous and let them stay, unlike some other stores who push people out the door! When they saw my daughter ordering with her own money, they told her, «Save up for school, it’s ok, you don’t have to pay for this one.» They did it out of the generousity of their heart. Now, the manager wasn’t there to see that, but if he/​she was, that staff would have been praised.
The resons above where only some of the examples why I am giving Jamba Juice the full 5-​star rating, go to their store to find more exciting discoveries to your new fav. smoothie store!

I’ve been to this, and other, Jamba Juice locations many, many times. In particular, I used to live right next door to the Safeway (that this Jamba Juice is in) when I lived in Menlo Park, and visited very frequently.
There truly is something for everybody here. Whether you’re looking for a low-​calorie smoothie, a nutrtionally-​balanced smoothie, or just a smoothie that tastes amazing, you’ll find it at Jamba Juice.
My favorite Jamba Juice in terms of taste is the Orange Dream Machine, which tastes just like a creamsicle! It’s a very nice treat!
The Matcha Green Tea Blast is another one that’s a very good flavor. It has a certain creaminess to it that really complements the tea very well.
A citrusy flavor that I like is the Strawberry Surf Rider, which tastes like a strawberry lemonade.
I’ve also had their a few of their all-​fruit smoothies, including the Pomegranate Paradise, the Mega Mango, and the Peace Perfection; they’re all good, although not nearly as sweet as the smoothies that are made with ice cream!
Recently, though, as I’ve been paying attention to calories, I’ve been going for their «Jamba Light» options. The Berry Fulfilling is my current favorite, although I substitute out the blueberries in favor of extra raspberries. Yum! :) I’ve also done the Mango Mantra, which is also good.
My only gripe is just the prices, which are quite high considering that you’re paying for a juice at the end. Nonetheless, it’s all really quite good.
Tip: Remember that you get a free boost with your Jamba Juice. Whether you want a boost of your daily vitamins, a nice energy boost to get you through the day, or a soy protein boost to rebuild muscles (among other available boosts), don’t forget that you can add it free of charge!
Tip #2: Google around for Jamba Juice’s secret menu! This truly is a secret menu, and is spread only by word of mouth (unlike In-N-Out’s so-​called secret menu, which can be found plain as day on their corporate web site — some secret!). Many of the options on Jamba Juice’s secret menu are quite sweet, which I suppose is why the menu’s secret (they wouldn’t want to damage their reputation as a healthy option!). In particular, they have flavors patterned off of each of the gummy bears, my favorite is the White Gummy!

The customers come in crowds. There’s usually only one person working, sometimes there’s two. I’ve been here maybe 5 times, and have NEVER seen the employee (s) wash their hands or at least change their gloves. The same person who works the register then goes on and makes drinks, then comes back and helps the next customer and makes their drinks, and so on.

This Jamba Juice is inside Safeway. It’s Jamba Juice. If you know smoothies in the area, you know Jamba. It is good. It’s kind of the standard… some are better, some are worse, but it is the bar by which you can make comparisons.
