I happened to be at Carolina Place Mall during lunch hours and spotted Jamba Juice to try a smoothie. I got a small peach perfection smoothie and my husband got a small smooth talking mango. The smoothies weren't cheap, but were in line with other smoothies. I again would rather spend $8 bucks on an actual meal instead of a smoothie. My smoothie tasted like a very berry smoothie - tasted plenty of strawberry - which there is supposed to be strawberry in the smoothie, but I would expect a smoothie titled peach to have an over abundance taste of peach. I could not taste peach at all. Now my husbands smoothie definitely tasted like a mango, and I enjoyed his more. Not that mine was bad, it's just not what I wanted mine to taste like. I love peaches, and this was not a peach smoothie. At any rate, service was fine. Nothing friendly, just a guy doing his work and getting the job done. He had our smoothies made in a couple minutes. He was also properly wearing a mask during this COVID time. Have no intentions of coming back here or to any Jamba Juice any time soon - didn't wow me and further confirmed my enjoyment of actual meals over a drink for a meal replacement.

I have been a big fan of Jamba for years, I have recently moved to the area and I gotta say, this…read moreJamba exceeded my expectations from previous visits in different locations. Service is great, although most employees are young, I highly respect the fact that they gave them a hand on learning about the service industry. Didn't we all get jobs being young and learning as we go? I have tried other places for drinks and I always come back to Jamba. Not only the prices are good but also service. Besides, it is very clean. Jamba loyal customer forever

Pro tip order the largest size if you are going straight home. Split it into two and have one in the freezer already for another day when you are low on time.

This location is inside of Carolina Place mall. I love to…read moretry different coffe shops. I had never heard of mean mug but thought it had and inviting name and decided to try. This was on a Sunday, the mall opens at noon and we walked in around 1230. No one was in the shop. We were greeted immediately asked questions about a couple items on the menu. I decided on the dirty chai with turmeric and honey. After I placed my order I had a chance to take in the ambiance. The store was dirty. The bakery display case looked like it had not been cleaned. There were pastry crumbs all over and the pastries did not look fresh. The tables had not been wiped down and covered in crumbs. I was surprised because it was early and no one was in the store prior to our arrival. As far as the dirty chai, I don't recommend. That particular combination does not mix well. I would be willing to try a different location and drink options, but I would not go back to this one.

I like stopping by Twisted Sugar when I'm next door getting my nails done. I recently found out that they have a loyalty program, but I haven't figured out how to earn points as they never ask for my phone number. (And I never remember to ask when I'm there) I love the soda options and that you can get Coke Zero as the base. Coke zero is superior to Diet Coke! I'll fight you on that, haha. I didn't love their larger cookies, but they have small 3 packs of chocolate chip cookies on the counter that are less expensive and taste delicious. Give this place a try when you're in the area!

See, here's the thing: I am on a regimen, this summer. A watching-what-I-eat,…read morerunning-every-morning regimen. It has some benefits; namely, the twenty pounds I've shed. It does, however, make it a lot harder to eat out when running errands . For example, earlier this week, I had just gone to the eye doctor at the Carolina Place Lenscrafters, and I was milling around the mall, waiting for my new glasses to be ready within the promised hour. It was lunch time, but healthy food court options seem limited. I finally settled on Great Wraps. They had quite the line going, and they smelled good, so I figured they must be good. My figuring turned out to be correct. I had a hummus veggie wrap in a spinach tortilla, and while it wasn't the best thing I've ever eaten, its quality actually surprised me. The hummus was smooth and garlicy and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. It was affordable, too: you can get a combo for somewhere between seven and eight dollars. If you're in Carolina Place, you should give Great Wraps a try.

He did not have a clue how to handle cash or make change. It was sad and really embarrassing. My drink was good but the help was really clueless.

I came to redeem a reward and decided on the really awesome peanut butter ice cream, like it size, with sweet cream base ice cream. The store itself is in be nice Ballantyne area, around the corner from the bowl. It was clean and maintained hot the service was subpar. No entrance or acknowledgment from anyone upon entrance. Another group entered after me but I let them order first since I was still deciding. Once I did get to the counter, they stafff was nice enough. A little annoying that the whipped cream was an upcharge- and I had already paid- so I just had my scoop as is. Not the end of the world and I did enjoy the ice cream. But definitely would not have gone without a club reward to redeem.

It seems they don't know how to read the order directions and prepare what is ordered and paid for. If you're looking for chocolate milk with a hint of ice ice cream and then this is where you want go, but if you're looking for a shake, and you specifically ask for it thick with whipped cream then that's what you should get not that when you go into the store, it's prepared, sitting on the counter and you are told oh we have no whipped cream is that OK? Yes....I guess? And when you pick up your cup and it moves like it's chocolate milk rather than a Milkshake!! Don't waste your $10 take the drive go to Häagen-Dazs, The Creamery in Waxhaw or go to Brewsters any of them far exceed any Cold Stone a total disappointment and waste of your money!

On both visits they've been patient with answering my questions and helping me make a selection from their abundant menu.
