I want to support Black-owned businesses, especially the ones charging premium prices...but the…read morecustomer service has to match. I came in ready to spend money, but was met with poor attitudes and staff who clearly didn't want to be there. How are you a smoothie spot out of bananas at 11am? And worse, why am I only finding that out after I place my order? Given I called ahead of time asking about the smoothie bowls being in stock, given their website said everything was out. There's too much potential in our community to let businesses fall short on the basics. If you're going to charge high prices, train your team, keep your inventory stocked, and lead with hospitality. Because right now, it feels like we're paying extra just to be disappointed. Nonetheless, the smoothie bowls were fresh, tasted good, but I won't be returning given the poor customer service. You would have to pay those girls to smile. Smh

The display box clearly showed a price sticker of $19.99, but at checkout I was told the price was now $25 because the system was updated. Price changes happen, but the dismissive attitude and rude response when I politely questioned the discrepancy was disappointing and unnecessary. Customer service and professionalism still matter. Unfortunately, after this interaction, I won't be returning to this location or any of them if it's owned by the same owner. The date of this interaction was Friday, May 22nd around 7:30 PM.

It is located near the plaza where Ross and Michael's are, but it is separated from that area. So, it has very limited parking and it is right by a pretty busy intersection on 38th street.

My boyfriend and I came here to use our offer from T-mobile and we were pretty much ready to order…read more There was a customer in front of us but that was fine as it seemed like they were just about done. Once it was my turn, I went up and the cashier didn't really greet me or offer any comfortable service. I told her that I wanted an Electric Ice large with no ice. Now after she took my order, my boyfriend stepped up to get his order in but was not told that she would be right back or if he could wait. He was just standing there for almost 15-20 minutes without any acknowledgement. He would try making eye contact but to no avail. This was frustrating as we had stuff we needed to do and the lack of professionalism was even more annoying. It wasn't as if they were busy either. Once the same cashier gets back to my boyfriend, she doesn't apologize or anything but just stares at him. He gives her his order and they make it within 5-8 minutes. Not sure if this was their peace offering but it wasn't really worth the long wait, rude service, or the Jamba Juice experience. Now the main reason for this review is my drink that I received. Maybe 40% of my cup is filled with the drink I ordered. I was shocked, I know I asked for no ice and usually I would get maybe 85%-90% of my drink but 60%???? It basically felt like I got a half-assed medium (if even that). You can see in the picture too that it wasn't cause I sipped it. I looked in the cup as soon as I received and was flabbergasted. But with how awful the service was and the dead expressions of the two employees, I just opted to report this to Jamba Juice. Luckily, both my boyfriend and I got a response from the general manager who apologized and offered us a free smoothie on them but I know for a fact that I am avoiding this location at all costs. Absolutely one of the worst service that I've ever received anywhere for no reason. The ambiance is deary as they block out the sun which I get, but maybe do it with some colors? There seems to be crumbs all over the floor. The drinks were just okay.

I came here wanting to try the Strawberry Matcha Latter but found out they can't make it into a ice smoothie, so I decided to try a Ice Blended Pick 2 - which I got Strawberry and Mango with lychee jellies. The texture of the ice blended drink was smooth and creamy, there were not chunks of ice like other places tend to have. The flavors were spot on! The drink was the perfect combination of both flavors merges together and the lychee jellies were flavorful as well. My fiancé got the Strawberry Tea with lychee jellies and he enjoyed his drink as well. I'll definitely be back to try different drinks!
