I was looking at entries in my old blog, and I wrote the following:

I apparently am more open than I thought.  Today at Jamba Juice, the juicemaker (or whatever the hell you call the person who blends your drinks) was about to give my order away to the dude before me.  Thankfully the dude said, "uh no, that's not mine."  He got his drink and left. Now you'd think she'd have common sense and realize, "hey, this must be for the next guy."  No, that was too straight-fwd for her.  Finally, after a minute or so, with my co-worker's "assistance" she figured things out.  When we were walking out, he informed my other co-worker that if that chick hadn't got her shit together, I was about to erupt; apparently I was making sounds of irritation and looked pissed.  Personally I thought I was acting pretty damn calm and nonchalant about it all.  Guess not.

So I'd normally give Jamba Juice 4 stars but knocking one off due to dumb asses such as the chick described above. I'm a jerk like that I guess.

i used to work here! I was in the group of employees that opened the store and I was amazed at how fresh everything is. The customer doesnt see the food too much, and its important to know that at this jamba juice, all the fruit is really fresh. When I was there, we were super accomodating to customers, letting them try anything they wanted before actually picking and paying for a drink. I still love going back here when I get the time!

I'm not a Jamba Juice regular, but since I got some free gift cards from one of their promotion, I decided to use it on a smoothie to go.  I chose an original size Mango-a-Go-Go ($3.85).  It was very refreshing.  

Bottom line:  Nice, clean store and very efficient service.

This place has never screwed up my order.
The people are nice.
The line never has been TOO long... but I never go right at lunch time.

I like the Rising Dough Bakery cookies they sell.  The oatmeal cranberry is very good.

I normally get the Strawberry Nirvana and I always love it.

The "boosts" add an odd flavor to the smoothie.

Update: 1/27/07
The Tropical Awakenings may actually taste better than the Strawberry Nirvana.  Yum!
I often take a DSW run at lunch and grab Jamba Juice on the way back to work.

Update: July 2007 -- they no longer have the Rising Dough Bakery cookies.  I was very sad. But not sad enough to stop going for smoothies...
The bathroom was dirty last time I visted... not good.

The wait was long but the staff was pleasant. Is it just me or are $5 juices overpriced?
