Jamba Juice

The staff gave me the wrong smoothie. I said it’s not the one I ordered. She didn’t change it. Upset that I have to drink the smoothie I don’t like coz I already paid and so hungry :-(I ordered acai berry charger, she gave me banana smoothies

Tried my pitaya bowl here since I always wanted to try one. It’s basically a smoothie in a bowl topped off with fruits, granola, nuts and coconut shavings. It was just something super refreshing to have since it was cold and ice cream like. The color of the bowl is super pretty, way more vibrant than an acai bowl and tastes way better too. If you haven’t tried a pitaya bowl yet, I suggest you try one from here because the servings are pretty big. They have two sizes of 16oz & 24oz which I got the bigger one since I thought it might be tiny. When I first got it, it looked small to me till I started eating. It took me a while to eat the whole thing but I managed. Definitely will be getting it again.

Service was fast and friendly. It was standard Jamba Juice quality so if you like Jamba Juice, great! This place won’t disappoint. If you don’t like Jamba Juice… well, then… don’t go here?
No chairs inside the place, but they are available in the small food court just steps away.

This Jamba Juice seem to always be out of something. And the worst part about it is that they won’t always tell you before you pay for whatever it is you ordered!
I’ve been here a few times and honestly if I had a choice I would not come here again. There are maybe two workers that will smile when they talk to you but the other workers are rude and of no help. Sometimes I feel like I’m more of a bother to them than a customer. And sometimes I also feel like I know the menu better than them.
Punctuality? Horrible. I use to work at Jamba Juice and the goal is to make the drink in 3 minutes or less. Let me tell you, you’ll be lucky to get your drink in 5 if you come here. They either struggle to make the drink, they move slow or they’re so deep into their conversations with one another they forget what they’re doing. And these are on slow days. I don’t bother to come on busy days. And although they do guarantee to make your drink to your satisfaction, they always mess up something but by the time I get my order, I gotta get back to work so there’s no fixing anything.
Management, do something!

Time of operations is until 7:00pm. I went in today at 4:00pm. I ordered a juice, it is a juice establishment. I was told they already cleaned the juice machine & couldn’t make a carrot juice. 3 hour before closing time? I work in the restaurant business, if I told my clientele I couldn’t make them a drink because I cleaned my station already with 3 hour of operations left, they would be writing this Unilocal review & giving me 1 star. Management look at your hours.

It’s a Jamba Juice. They all have the same menu, so I’ll save any sort of detailed food review. There are no chairs inside this location, and you don’t eat there, you eat in the UCSF food court. Or you take it somewhere else.
I love that it’s next to my work and gym (at ucsf) and open well before I start my job at 7am. I don’t care if the people who work there are extra nice, I probably wouldn’t even notice if they were. They aren’t the fastest, or, for that matter, particularly slow when making your order… the speed at which they make what you ordered is quite reasonable.
There’s another store not that far away on Irving if you want to sit in a chair AT Jamba Juice, so, if that’s what you’re looking for, go there instead.
Word to the jamba veterans: try the acai bowl, it’s sooooo good.

At 3:10PM on a HOT DAY the place was closed. Ok fine. MAYBE they had an issue with something so I go back to work and at 3:30 I go back to see if it was open.
Yep and a HUGE LINE had formed. I get in line and the poor girl working the register alone was clearly very new and trying her best while the other fellow George, flys around trying to get everyones orders settled.
Wanted to order a Chocolate Moo’d but they were out of the Chocolate base, so I order the Strawberry Bowl instead.
Jose comes in and starts to assist George. Now I had placed my order about 10 minutes ago and everyone ahead of me is gone and those behind me are now getting there orders. I am trying to be patient as I also work in Customer Service at UCSF and I know how it can be during a rush.
I peak my head over a couple times to see if anyone is working on my order. Nad.
Finally, Jose asks what I ordered and they proceed to find my order slip, which they found. George is rushing to make my order now and Jose asks what he can do to remedy the situation. I just gave a small shrug and turned down the free drink offer. I was in a hurry at this point and didn’t want to wait for something else.
They tried to rectify the situation by offering a free drink, but I really didn’t want to take another persons spot, or have to wait around.
Every time I come here, the hours are wrong, they are closed, they are out of bananas, or oranges, or the juicer is broken. Not sure WHAT management is doing with this place, but they don’t seem to be setting their employees up for success.

So I’m not one to get upset with bad service, unless I’ve gotten really bad service or consistently gotten bad service. I am not sure why but everyone except for ONE person that works at this jamba juice is rude. I work at UCSF and go to Jamba juice at least once a week. I love their menu and all their options. I have been going to jamba juice for years and never have I ever been to one with so many grumpy people, not just in the morning but at all times of day; lunch and dinner too. There is one exception to this though, George, i think he is new because he is actually quite nice and helpful when it comes to customers. All the other employees, especially the girls are rude and don’t look like they want to be there, which they probably don’t. But it just makes me in a bad mood to see other people in a bad mood.
Their food and drinks, just like any other Jamba juice, large selection with all sorts of variations that you could make. However, every time I seem to get something from them, hoping that this time will be better than the next, their blended drinks are always not blended all the way with at least a ¼ of the cup filled with frozen fruit chunks. I got a acii bowl this morning and it was more like blended juice with yogurt and fruit mush with fruit on top. It was not blended nearly as much as it was supposed to be and the bowl was only filled about half way!
Overall, I truly love Jamba juice as a chain, but this particular store is making me hate.

Prices were a bit high, but at a very convenient location. Smoothie could have been blended for a bit longer but not a bad experience at all.

I grab a juice here every time I study, the 3G charger boost gives me a good boost of energy that last for 3 – 4 hours

Frequented this store a lot during a family member’s stay at UCSF Medical Center. During the holidays, they held super funky hours (closed 4-​days in a row?). There’s another location nearby and they ended up fulfilling the smoothie need for patients in the hospital.

Great juices, good staff.

solid jamba juice. super friendly staff. they always hit the spot :)

I love how there’s a Jamba Juice on Parnassus now. It’s very close to where I live and the customer service is pretty quick. The young lady took my order, as always, I ordered an original Strawberry Wild, and it was ready to go. Not as quick as I expected it to be! And it tasted pretty damn good. Will definitely come back! This was my first time here, never had time to come here, but I’m glad I finally paid a visit here!

I am glad that there is a Jamba Juice right across the street from UCSF, but this place has been a hit or miss for me. I’ve ordered several different types of drinks: all-​fruit smoothies, original smoothies, and some off the «secret menu» and I’ve had good, as well as so-​so smoothies from each of those categories.
Overall, love Jamba for the location and large variety of drinks, but don’t absolutely love the drinks all the time.

I’m not a big fan of Jamba Juices prices constantly rising but I admit their smoothies are delicious. Mango a Go Go, Strawberries Wild and that lemonade one (yes its my favorite yet the name slips my mind) are perfect to quench my thirst. I am extremely picky about how my Mango a Go Go is made and I must say this Jamba Juice makes it right. Many of the other locations skimp on the mango and tastes watery and bland. For 5 dollars you better put a fair share a mango! Anyways, nothing like sneaking in a jamba juice into the library to keep you awake while studying.

This Jamba Juice is a hit-​or-​miss. It’s great that there’s a Jamba on campus in such a convenient location. It reminds me of UCSD Price Center (the glory days.).
I ordered their Heavenly Green Tea twice. First time, it tasted the way it should be, meaning it still had a taste of green tea. A week later, I got it again, and it tasted blandly of steamed 2% milk. Did they not blend enough green tea powder in it? My friend went not too long ago and the worker spent 2 minutes looking up the ingredients and how to make the drink. They also left a chunk of fruit on the bottom for her to spoon out.
I’m assuming their staff is still new and have a lot to learn.

A Jamba Juice makes a great addition to the Millberry Union, but this one still has a few kinks to work out. The smoothies I saw them make only filled up three-​quarters of the cups, and mine wasn’t even blended completely.

I’m glad they finally opened one here, ealking a few blocks sucked and took up most of my lunch time. Price was expected… service was great. I see a busy line in front of this spot like subway down the stairs.

This place just opened and the staff seem like they’ve been doing it for years. The smoothie tasted great and was blended up quick even with a couple of people ahead of me in line. The prices are average for the City which I’m not a fan of. Stupid taxes. Everyone was friendly and helpful so I will be returning.
