Romeo and Sky and Amayra managed to handle a lunch time smoothie Michigan Ave tourist demand showdown with so much precision and grace! Sky let me know my mango smoothie would be out in 5 minutes while the entire room was full of people benefitting from the AC while waiting in line. Romeo and Amayra got it all done so quickly for us. I'll be missing them and August once it's snowstorm season :) read more

Jamba - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We wanted to try this Jamba during out trip to Chicago after visiting the 360 Tilt. This one is located just on the exit of 360. The staff is friendly and attentive. We ordered Acai bowl and some frozen drinks. The interior was well maintained for the tourist spot. They have interior and some outside seating. The Acai bowl and drinks were perfect for the hot day. read more

Super slow service. Don't recommend if you're in a hurry or just have a few minutes. Plus, it's overpriced. read more

Jamba - Pick up area - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This location was a mess today. Long, long wait times as only a single worker tried to manage the Friday holiday weekend crowd. When I asked her if someone called in sick, she said the manager was in the back doing inventory! Ridiculous! We waited FIFTEEN minutes for our food and when we got it our breakfast sandwiches were cold. After replacing them with new ones, they were still cold! What a mess! I would avoid this place, especially if you walk in and see nobody behind the counter! read more

Grilled cheese, bacon and tomato sandwich on thick barely toasted bread and a tiny container of coleslaw we paid extra for. 8 servers standing around talking and we had to flag someone down after waiting 15 minutes for order to be taken. Asked for check after we got shakes. Flagged her down after waiting 10 minutes and watching her chat with bartender. She asked if we'd like our check even though we'd already asked for it. Bathrooms downstairs and down a hall. Not very clean and one stall didn't lock. Shakes weren't bad. read more

Smoothies are also fresh and good! Service quick , and nice chilled environment! Even if you have dietary restrictions it's a good place to visit! read more

Beautiful day, took a nice walk and got thirsty. Decided on juice instead of a smoothie. The young lady that waited on me was very patient, friendly and knowledgable. She helped me a lot. I love the taste of fresh squeezed juice and I know how good it is for my body. In my Schwarzenegger voice, "I'll be back". read more

Jamba, formerly Jamba Juice, is now back at the John Hancock building, after having been replaced by a number of other vendors in its prime location on the lower level of the building for a number of years. I decided to mobile order a medium "Strawberries Wild" smoothie and replaced the apple pear strawberry juice blend with nonfat milk to create more of a milkshake-like consistency. It wasn't horrible, and made for a nice cool treat, but I do wish there would have been more fresh strawberries added to the actual drink, as it was mostly a banana-heavy flavor-- perhaps the majority of the "strawberry" flavor comes from the juice blend they typically add to this drink. The shop is in a very convenient location, right on the Mag Mile, but I probably could have gotten a higher quality drink for $8 somewhere else in the city. read more

Jamba - Strawberries Wild - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great customer service! I was greeted when I arrived and my order arrived in time. When I visit Chicago again I'll be sure to stop by.

Bruh me and my uncle ordered just three smoothies thinking that it would be ready before our bus left. We ordered them at 12:30 and no one was in front of us in line so we ordered and bro making the smoothies did not know how to work. Like our bus literally left at 1:00 And our smoothies weren't ready after 30 minutes. MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN!!! read more

I came to this location of Jamba (fka Jamba Juice) for some post-workout, pre-errand-running fuel. The strawberry smoothie I ordered hit the spot and I appreciated that the menu behind the counter is well organized (plant-based, protein, etc.) There is also an edited selection of pre-packaged snacks and baked goods. I like that the smoothies are available in multiple sizes. When I came in, around 1 pm, there were only two other customers ahead of me. My order was prepared quickly. It looks like this location offers generous hours (open 7 days/week) and plentiful indoor and outdoor seating. Great option in the Hancock Tower/Mag Mile area. read more

Kyra B the Team Lead at the Union Station store made my smoothie to perfection!! She's the greatest!'nn

Restaurant Review Wow Robrt S review is spot on. Can the employees they hire be any worse? The cashier barely made eye contact as I placed my order let alone acknowledge my presence. The mango smoothie I had was likely the worst. First it did not taste like mango at all, it had a strong orange juice flavor. Second it was like eating fruit flavored ice without any sweetness. I realize that fruits are not in season right now, but they must have forgot to put something in the drink because it had no sweetness at all. Note to self chose a different location. This is a shame because it is in prime location at the base of John Hancock along the Mag mile. Pro- healthy Con- terrible customer service/drink making ability Hidden deal- 1. Keep your eyes peeled for groupon deals 2. Sign up for the email club to get coupons like BOGO or 2 dollar for 16 oz smoothie read more

Excuse me. Excuse ME. EXCUSE ME. DO I NEED TO YELL TO GIVE YOU MY ORDER? Yeah. I guess I did. The absolute worst customer service I've experienced in the past couple of years from any fast food restaurant. If it wasn't the vile gangsta rap music blaring loud enough to annoy anyone who wanted to sit inside the restaurant, it was the hat-to-the-side clown working the register who seemed like he had better things to do. The children in the back dancing and carrying on didn't make me feel like waiting around to order. I had better things to do, so I went next door to the European pastry place and gave them my business. read more

Got totally sick from this place and ended up throwing up outside of Barney's in an embarrassing display of projectile orange vomit into a sidewalk snowbank....Great....Happy Birthday to me.... The damn orange and mango passion sent me into a gut wrenching frenzy, so no more Jamba for me. I'd guess that something in there wasn't right....perhaps the wheatgrass shot? Dirty orange juicing machine or unwashed orange wedge? Good thing my sweetie didn't get sick or I would have had to drop kick someone in the neck! read more

I am a big fan of Jamba Juice in general, but just not this one. The staff is rude and slow. The place stinks of old fruit and the service just isn't as nice! And apparently they have been told not to remind people about the free booster, as a cost-saving measure! read more

This jamba makes quality drinks, rarely messes up orders. I've been to a few (mostly airports) that are so bad. Flavors always spot on. Workers are consistently peppy and helpful. The major downside is the crowd which this jamba doesnt handle well. I mean, its in the Hancock so it should be used to the turnover, but it usually takes me at least 30 min between getting there, ordering, and waiting for my drink. read more

I saw a manager call a girl that was starting her new job "stupid" and the smoothies weren't as well as they looked. They seemed like very tasty drinks, but to be honest, it tasted like dookie farts. read more

Don't get me wrong this place is good but I just went in and the lady wasn't even at the register she was sitting in the back I called for someone multiple times so I can order and I even called the store while I was in the store and she didn't pick up the phone finally the forth time I called out for someone she came out very rudely she didn't even say hello nothing. She was not nice. read more

The green apple smoothie it's fantastic. A great pick of your looking for something fresh

Great location, smoothies were good. Unfortunately while walking up the person behind the counter screamed at us, "If you don't know what you want get out of the line." We were walking up to order, with our items already decided. The person behind the counter was rude throughout the entire transaction. The person making our smoothie was nice but does not make up for the uncalled for outburst of aggression. read more

I already reviewed Jamba Juice in Evanston, but I just wanted to give props to the people who work here. Every time I visit I am greeted by the staff. It just shows how friendly Chicagoans, even working ones, are. Say what you will, I find Chicagoans far friendlier than DC-nites. Just .. please use more mats on snowy days. I nearly slipped while walking to and from the cash register several times this winter (while drinking my Aloha Pineapple of course). read more

I've never been a fan of over priced fads like FroYo, Wheat grass, and all that junk. I was on my way to an appointment last week in the building down the street and was running a bit early, so I decided to stop at the nearest place that had a cold drink (it was a rare 95 degree day). I walked into Jamba and ordered a small Green Tea Blast. The guy at the counter took my order with a smile, and gave me the total. To which I replied HOLY SHIT! I don't have my wallet! You don't understand! I don't live in the loop, and I just parked my car in a $30 garage! This is VERY bad. I apologized and walked away from the counter to call my husband. Obviously, not gettting my Jamba was the least of my worries at this moment. I didn't have my wallet, and I was nearly in tears. As I was walking out of the store I heard my name being called (you gibe them your name when you order). I turned around and the staff was all smiles. They gave me a LARGE (no less!) Green Tea Blast GRATIS, and just the generosity and the smiles that they gave me really brightened my day. If you're wondering, it all turned out okay, and I got my car out of the garage with some money that was brought to me, but the real heroes of this story are the employees of this Jamba. They saw that someone was about to have a terrible day, and they did what little part that they could to make it a little brighter. Thank you Jamba Juice. BTW, I now LOVE the green tea blast, and I'll be back for more! read more

I absolutely adore Jamba Juice so let me be the one to say why this location is particularly enjoyable. First of all, I agree that a lot of these smoothies have calories in them. However, they now have all fruit smoothies which aren't as filled with calories, and of course you can also look up all the nutritional information for each flavor on their website to decide which is the most healthy if you are so inclined. Depending on what flavor & boosts you get, however, these smoothies can easily take the place of a meal. The Original size is filling, in my opinion. Second, the people who work at this location are always extremely friendly and fun. I always end up walking out of there with a smile on my face due to their jokes and playful nature. Third, this is in a great location - right next to Cheesecake Factory and across the street from Water Tower Place (and right by my work). Delicious! read more

I've lived in Seattle for 4 years, so I had Jamba Juice around all the time. I am usually not the biggest fan; I mean the drinks are good, but I don't really have cravings like some of my friends do. SO, when I visited with friends from DC I decided to try one of their hot drinks and went for the chocolate soy chai. Bad idea. I didn't like it at all. However, all my friends' smoothies were good and the staff was nice. Hope that helps :) read more

Holy tourists and their godawful children, Batman! I love Jamba. The smoothies are fantastic and always make me feel like I'm doing my body a giant favor by drinking one. This one is located under the Hancock center, which means it it teeming with people from out of town and their giant maps and their awful children who think it is the BEST THING EVER to whip the plastic display fruit at each other while their mothers talk on their cell phones. Regardless, service is pretty prompt and usually with a smile. And I am hopelessly addicted to their smoothies, so I'll brave the throngs of children and keep on coming back. PS: When did they start upcharging for OJ? read more

I have to be completely honest .... if my smoothie and California Flat Bread didn't taste so delicious, I would have made this into a one star rating. This place has the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. No greeting hello, no suggestions, no smile, just complete rudeness, as if she didn't want to be there at all. Then while I was waiting, she did have a "Welcome to Jamba Juice, how may I help you" moment, but as she was saying it, she was rolling her eyes and rotating her head, not even looking at the customer that was about to drop more than $20 for a meal! I just don't get it these days! Also, I was already finished with my smoothie by the time the flat bread was ready. I know that I won't be coming back. Sad to say. read more

I am not going to lie...I love jamba juice. I will admit though I have only gotten cold busters here since Im only go here when I am sick. This particular location rules. I teach at a school about a half mile from here so this is a nice ideal location for me. The place gets 5 stars for its service. The staff is so friendly here and they remember your name when you come in. The place gets 5 stars for being so clean. The place gets 3 stars for the price though. Now I know its jamba juice and good stuff is expensive, but I feel like its a little too much thought. Not their fault though since their corporate owned thought. read more

This Jamba Juice is conveniently located at the base of the Hancock Tower. However, I came here during the fall/winter season and these smoothies may not be as popular when it is freezing outside. Anyhow, I still managed to get my regular Banana Berry smoothie. The staff here are pretty friendly. It is just unfortunate that when it gets cold, it may not be the most popular spot. However, it is popular for me since I don't have to wait very long for a good smoothie. read more

Always a refreshing smoothie stop. Great healthy substitute for breakfast or lunch. I love the add-ins....whey protein....weight loss....antioxidants...and much much more! Always fresh and tasty! read more

Jamba Juice: what to say about you.. Your convenient, refreshing on a hot summer day and affordable. Sure your busy, especially with all of the tourists like myself, making customers wait a good 10 minutes for their brain-freeze inducing orders but really, isn't it part of the whole experience? I love this place, really. Their drink selection is amazing and one of the best things you can have on a nice summer day to keep yourself refreshed. You are convenient and very accessible, in the heart of the city, at least for this location. What more could anyone ask for? read more

My first time at Jamba Juice and now I'm addicted. I was at the Westin across the street, so I went in more than a few times last week and was pleased with everything I got. I tried the Acai Super Antioxidant blend a few times, also the Strawberry Surf Rider. The SSR was a little too acidic to have more than once, but the ASA was good all week long. By far my favorite was the "Chunky Strawberry Ideal Meal"... it's like a smoothie but you eat it with a spoon. It had strawberries, bananas, peanut butter and some oats in there. SO GOOD. read more

I have to admit that I only get smoothies once in a blue moon, but I've suddenly become a fan of their morning banana oatmeal... especially on Wednesdays when it's only $2! The staff here is very friendly and they really help start the day off on a good note. read more

I wasn't really an avid Jamba Juice visitor prior to frequenting this location. But the convenience of the being right in my work building and the ability to grab a quick smoothie without venturing outside in the frigid weather makes me visit this place around 2-3 times a week. The employees I have encountered here are always friendly and efficient with my time, and even suggest coupons and deals online for me to look up when I visit. I have tried a variety of different flavors, but my standard go-to is the Strawberries Wild. I've also had the flat bread here due to adventure and laziness and it was pretty bad. However, it is a good deal with the smoothie if you need a quick bite. Overall, they deliver a pretty consistent smoothie with pretty decent customer service. Currently, the volume is pretty low (since it is in the dead of winter), but I hope the quality will last even during the busier times. read more

Love love love that there's Jamba Juice in Chicago. I've never had any problems at this locale except that it gets a little busy with all the tourists in the summer. What can I do, though, it's the closest one to where I live. My favorite drink is Mango-a-go-go, but I've been trying to be healthier and getting Mega Mango. I sampled most of their all-fruit drinks, and they are delish! Don't forget to get your free boost - my faves are immunity, energy, and green caffeine. The green caffeine sort of has a funny after taste, but maybe it was because they didn't blend it well enough. Great thing about this Jamba is that you can grab your drink and enjoy the smoothie goodness out on the steps by the Hancock. read more

This jamba juice is in the heart of Michigan Ave, so when you are strolling along the Avenue on a nice, sunny day (all 3 of them that we have a year)...you gotta make sure you stop and get your smoothie fix! This location makes perfect smoothies, I think. Every time I go the product is perfect. The service is really hot and cold, however. Sometimes the workers treat you like their bestie, and other times I fear they are too pissed off to be making something I'm about to drink! If you want to be dairy free, low calorie, all fruit, high protein, etc etc etc Jamba Juice has a smoothie for you. Make sure to check them out! read more

A Healthy Way to Start Any Day When I have the time, a morning stop at Jamba Juice is on my agenda. Nothing starts a day better than a big glass of freshly squeezed juice, liquid sunshine as my mom used to call it, and Jamba does it right. The oranges are always sweet, cold and fresh. Besides the orange juice, Jamba's lemonade provides a cool, refreshing treat on a hot, summer day. In addition, the Hancock location offers a great outdoor sitting area to soak up some of the non-liquid sunshine. The only "bad" part is their somewhat limited menu. Rather than a full-fledged juice bar like Orange, the choices are rather limited. Nonetheless, Jamba offers cold, healthy drinks that provide a nice lift - morning, noon or night. read more

Me like Jamba...it makes Trini happy!!! AHHH!!!! Caribbean Passion is my favorite. My friend introduced me to Jamba in high school and have been a fan ever since!...thanks Becca!!! I love this place except that there is always a line. It keeps moving though so I'll still stand there and wait for that fruit packed sweetness... ::drools:: read more

Who doesn't love Jamba Juice?? This particular location is always busy... especially on hot and sunny Saturday afternoons! But we needed are fruit fix, so came in for a treat. Staff moves quickly, but we still had to wait about 10 minutes for our drink. We got a ginormous fruit concoction... have no idea what was in it, but it was good. I usually go with the Matcha blast or a small carrot juice. PS... check out the panini place next door. YUM. read more
