Smoothies are my favorite type of food. Anytime I go to a restaurant, I order a smoothie. I've tried every chain out there from Smoothie King to Tropical Smoothie. Nothing compares to the quality of service that Jamba Juice provides. Every time I go into this Jamba more than one person welcomes me. Unlike most places, their welcome seems sincere. I've never been into the store while it was dirty either. The place is kept up nicely and is a pleasant place to be.
While there options may seem limited, they have a secret menu that is online. I didn't really know what I wanted the last time I was in, but the person was very knowledgeable about other recipes that could be made. She helped me find the right fit. There wasn't a script that she had to follow, we could have a genuine conversation until we came to a couple different smoothies that I may like. No matter what I am feeling that day, they always have something for me.
The other thing I really like about Jamba Juice is there food selection. They have a baked good case that contains sweet waffles that are to die for. They heat them up and it is a perfect match with a chocolate mood. They also have flat breads, that I have had in the past which fill me up and give me the vegetables and protein I need. Lastly, they have bowls, which are wonderful. They have the bowls that are on the menu, but they can also make any smoothie that you want into a bowl if you are really hungry.
Since I usually come in the afternoon, there usually aren't many people in the store at that time, but I can tell the employees are using there time wisely and working hard. But while one makes my smoothie, one of the girls usually comes and talks to me. I like the rapport we have together. I genuinely care about her as she seems to be a bright and cheery person. I also feel she cares about me as she continues to ask about my family.
The only complaints I have are the price and the need to reblend the smoothies. I understand the employees cant control the price, but when I walk in for an afternoon snack, seven dollars is a little high. Competitors seem to be a little cheaper, but the quality that Jamba Juice gives makes up for the couple of dollars. Also, I while I like talking to the employees at Jamba, I do have a life to get back to. They can usually make the smoothie pretty quick, but it seems to me that they have to reblend the smoothie multiple times. Sometimes they even pour it and then have to pour it back because there are still chucks in it.
All in all, I would recommend Jamba Juice to anyone, especially the location on gilbert and baseline. The quality of food is fantastic, the store is kept up, and the service is consistently nice. read more
