Jamba Juice

Yup. It’s definitely a Jamba. And while I’m usually jazzed about Jamba, this one felt a little more average. I don’t suppose I can blame them for the company they keep, but this little strip mall is a hurtin’. From the giant, painfully empty FYE (someone should REALLY tell those guys about the internet) to the weird haunted house/​mystery theater/​I dunno what that thing is/​seriously, this little section isn’t tops on my visit list.
But for the juice itself, it’s always been consistent. However, for the first time in my Jambalife, I was disappointed. Dunno what happened, but the drink was watery, and lacked that punch. I usually get a good tart drink (Caribbean something or other?) and not only did it lack the flavor that I wanted, it was also a much more runny consistency than I’ve ever had. I asked my companion, and he said his was that way too.
Off night? Perhaps. I certainly won’t write them off, but I’m still puzzled about what happened. Follow the formula, mix the smoothie, and that should be that. That’s the foundation that Jamba is founded on. It just didn’t work this time.

25 minutes for a drink. They were out of carrots, sherbet, and oatmeal cups. Watching employees come and go, making jokes w each other. There were two people ahead of me when I got there. Then about 7 when I left. They were carrying good back into the office, a non food area. Didn’t see them washing hands between handling money and making food. Even after the fixed a orange machine. Then my drink wasn’t properly, or smoothly, blended.

They upgrade the size of your drink if you get Whey Protein! How awesome is that?

It’s a good chain… yes, an oxy-​moron. However, you know what to expect and it is tasty. Consistent smoothies and they have added new items. I am not one to go there for their baked goods, etc… I mean why would you? This is a smoothie place. It definitely hits the spot for lunch on a hot day.

White gummy bear flavor is my FAV!

I’ve been to this Jamba Juice many times since it is so close to my house. While they are generally very good I think the staff has some trouble with consistency. Sometimes my smoothies are chunky or icey and I have to ask for a new one. Beyond a few occasional issues I’ve generally been very happy with his Jamba location. One of my favorite treats is to get a Jamba Juice and then head across the way to Einsteins for a bagel. Thats what I call a delicious combination.
