After a nice workout at 24, my bf and I cooled off by sharing an açaí primo bowl. It had açaí juice, soymilk, strawberries, blueberries, organic granola, and fresh bananas covered in coconut, almonds, and honey. Thanks Jamba Juice, you have turned me into an açaí lover! Best thing about this particular store: the location and view of Koko Marina. Simply beautiful! I'm loving the life in paradise. 4 stars for the perfect light breakfast or snack after a workout. read more

Jamba - From http://www.kokomarinacenter.com/stores/jamba_juice.php - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

No line this morning! Service was pretty quick and the only guy working there thanked me for waiting... even though the wait wasn't very long... so that was nice. Ordered two oatmeals. I don't know what it is -- I know I can make steel cut oatmeal in my slow cooker at home -- but Jamba's oats are delish! My one request... please put more bananas on my oats... pretty please?... They used to pack it on sliced in a spiral fashion covering the entire top of the bowl... today, not so much. I shall ration what I have. read more

They are so nice here. And because they are a chain you always know just a what you are getting. Or so I thought! For those of us who have food allergies, we really appreciate things like this...I usually go about ordering "good morning! I'd like a blah blah blah please. No mango sub blah blah." Lately I've started adding in, "I'm very allergic to mango" because I had a cross contamination at a different smoothie place. The scoopers are all used across bins right? So...this Jamba will go to the bins in the back with clean scoopers and get my fruits so that I don't go into shock on their floor. Probably better for business to not have someone drop dead after sipping a smoothie but I appreciate the personal aspect of it. This extra effort and Kokua makes this a regular post exercise stop for me. Sometimes it pays to speak up. ;) read more

Why does the phone have a constant busy signal? Is the phone just off the hook? My business wanted to place a large order for an employee birthday, but impossible with no phone. read more

Jamba Juice has been around for the longest time I could remember. After discovering this location in Koko Marina Shopping Center, it was my go to place for smoothies. I recently come here after working out at 24 Hour Fitness during the week and its refreshing to come to JJ and get something for a small reward. The location itself is small, but it is sizable and can hold about 20 people, if its pretty busy. I have recently been to Lanikai Juice and I have tasted the difference. While Lanikai Juice has very limited store locations, Jamba is very much so all over Oahu. The smoothies are in fact sugary, so limited quanities is best. While they do have all fruit type of smoothies, we can all just buy fruit at the Foodlands and the Times Super Market and make our own? The parking situation can get real crazy at meal times, but everything is doable at Koko Marina shopping center. The staff is friendly and the service is very fast. Sometimes, I wish I could just make my own thing at home. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars, I 100% would. I was wondering why this place had bad reviews and now I understand. This place had terrible customer service. The girl at the counter yelled at me for coming in even though I had been standing in line and had yelled at me to get in line. They also said there's a 5 person limit in the store and yelled at my family and I for it but then right after let in 4 people and pretty much said don't worry about the 5 person limit. I am never coming to this Jamba Juice again. read more

Perfect location, great service, yummy product. No thanks, no need boost. I've got plenty of energy already. It's not on the menu anymore, and hasn't been for years, but you can still order my favorite by simply asking, 'Orange-a-Peel, please!' Taste like orange sherbet ice cream. This is the perfect stop after doing some hiking at Makapu'u lighthouse. I always get the biggest size, and my daughter usually gets the middle sized banana berry with no boost (she's got even more energy than me). How can you resist, 'Welcome to Jamba Juice!?' read more

No one has reviewed the Koko Marina Jamba Juice?? Strange. Cause the service is amazing!! I was greeted by every employee as I entered. And the guy who checked me out even asked me how my day was. Sweet younger employees. Also, another boy was mopping. They sure do love their bleach.... Ps: It you have a cold get the cold buster. It really works. read more

Jamba - Next to Teddy's. Parking is horrible of course (: - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Wonderful neighborhood location. The menus from one Jamba Juice to another are the same so the difference is usually in the location and atmosphere of the store and the people working. I've found most of the young people considerate and patient. It might seem different when they're slammed with orders and they're going back and forth between juicing oranges, warming items up in the Turbo Chef, and making acai bowls, but I find them really courteous to me even when it's busy, and I appreciate it. Some of them know my face and name and what I order. There are also other regulars who come by from 24 Hour Fitness after a class or drop in from the neighborhood and get recognized the same way by the staff. The store not small but it can seem that way because it gets busy. The afternoon sun strikes the front windows and it gets very bright and warm inside in the afternoon. If you're dying of thirst, standing in line behind indecisive customers can be a real downer under these conditions but I like the people who help me with my order so I find it bearable. When there is a crowd you can't really enjoy sitting inside and finishing your drink or acai bowl. Fortunately, there are shaded tables outside, and there is always the option of walking along the marina and finding a spot to enjoy your purchase and the view. read more

Jamba - Had to reblend my smoothie at home since these chunks won't make it through the straw.... - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I used to be a big fan of their smoothies. However, these days I prefer Lanikai Juice. From time to time, I eat their acai bowls on weekend mornings, after working out at 24 hour fitness. I recently tried their "new" Acai Fruit and Veggie bowl, which Jamba claims to contain three servings of fruit and veggies. Unlike Lanikai Juice, Jamba Juice's acai bowl is not watery. The Acai Fruit and Veggie bowl was topped with organic granola, fresh bananas, almonds and blueberries. The blueberries I could have done without because they were frozen, Jamba should use only fresh fruits in their toppings. Overall the acai bowl was good, albeit slightly sweet. read more

Jamba - Acai fruit and veggie bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The service here is subpar. We ordered online and had to wait over 15 minutes for our order. That's ridiculous considering we came after the expected time it would be ready. The staff were a bunch of teenagers who were giggling, laughing and very in attentive to the customers. Horrible service. read more

Unusually go to Jamba Juice during the day and my experience there is nice. But last night I went to Jamba Juice Hawaii Kai and ordered a acai bowl that was disgusting. I will post a picture. The acai was runny and the bowl was only have filled. The toppings looked like it came from what was leftover. I was highly disappointed. Spend your money at Lanikai juice instead for your acai bowls. Very disappointed. read more

Terrible service. I was the only customer waiting for my order. A male staff who made my drink didn't call out a name. Why do they ask a customer name for the order then? It seems that the order item and my name show up on their screen. But he didn't call me. I was standing right in front of him. He just ignored me, the only customer at that moment. He put it in a refrigerator and told nobody. I wasn't sure if that was mine and waited for a long time. When I asked about my drink to another staff, then that guy said he put it in the refrigerator. Absolutely rude. Unpleasant horrible experience. read more

Seriously???? There is a sign right in front of the register that showcases 2 medium smoothies for $10. I order accordingly and the cashier, Ethan, says there needs to be a coupon from the newspaper to use the offer. As seen on the picture there is nothing on the advertisement that says I need a coupon from the paper. I asked if there was a coupon online that I could get and they could scan it. Ethan said, "you can try". So I did. Found it on jambajuice.com and showed Ethan the coupon on my phone. Then he says, "OK". THAT IS SO STUPID!!!!! He didn't scan it or nothing and the advertisement on their register said nothing of presenting a coupon from a newspaper....so irritating!!! read more

Jamba - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Grew up very close by frequenting this location and never seen the inside so filthy. Even the greeter/cashier was awful. My original purpose of this visit was to purchase a few gift cards, but after ordering a drink for my son from the rude young girl, I put all the GCs back. Between the lack of cleanliness and lack of simple common courtesy, I would not gift anyone with the experience I had. On a positive note, it seems like a good location for tourist coming from a hot, long day at the beach needing a drink. read more

I like the fast service. They haven't upset me yet:) the drinks I get come out tasty! I love it. Trying to get myself signed on to the web is a pain though for me. Hopefully you guys have a much easier time logging into than I did. read more

I have always enjoyed the taste from this Jamba Juice. That is not the problem, the problem is that there phone is always busy ! I have been calling for the past hour and can't get ahold. It seems as if the phone is off the hook. Horrible horrible horrible! read more

Who is running the Koko Marina Jamba Juice? The 1 star is not for the food, but for their bad customer service. As I entered through the side door, the girl behind the counter SHOUTS at me, "THERE'S A LINE AT THE OTHER DOOR!!!" WTF?? If people are not allowed to enter through the side door, I have a suggestion: get a piece of paper, write EXIT ONLY, and scotch tape it to the door. I saw at least 10 more people enter through the side door and get the same horrible treatment that I received. And what did they do? They took their business elsewhere. No one wants to patronize a place that treats you like crap! Please, please train your employees in better customer service. read more

Is this place a joke? Tell me what is the point of putting in a mobile order, coming in at the time they told me to, checking with the Asian girl working by the check in area, and then waiting while EVERYONE else gets their smoothies first. I had to go back to her and ask her if I was waiting for my smoothie to be made. She says, "Oh okay." And grabs it from the small fridge they have on the side for mobile orders. As if I didn't JUST CHECK IN WITH HER! This place and that girl is garbage. read more

I love all the Jamba Juice....razamatazz is my favorite! & I've tried most of em! The girls who worked here were really nice and friendly...I was just getting a drink before I hiked Koko Head and they gave me directions on how to get there. Love my Jamba Juice! Wish we had them in Canada! read more

I don't get enough fruits and veggies in my diet, so when I need to binge eat/drink my nutrition, I come here. I enjoy all of their smoothies (though strawberry based drinks are my favorite). Today, I tried the Acai Bowl, which was quite filling, making the $7 price worth it since I'm not eating a bunch of bad-for-you snacks throughout the day. My only complaints are that the shop is so noisy and the floors look perpetually dirty. I arrived at 6 am this morning and the floor were still wet from being mopped, so I know they're cleaning them, I guess the stains have just set in. As for the noise, I was the only person there; there were no blenders running; how could it still be so noisy? Please tell me employees have ear protection! read more

Hawaii Kai Jamba is quite possibly my favorite on the Island. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Their acai bowls taste way better than other nearby Jamba Juice locations. It's the granola. I've gotten to know several of the staff by name, and I appreciate the level of service from each. This location is not open as late as some other locations, but I love how we at least have a selection of smoothie joints here in Hawaii Kai. Definitely my favorite Jamba Juice. I love the manager Tanya S. She is the best! read more

This is with regards to this location only. I often go to the one near Ward that is attached to Starbucks before work, and that one is awesome. I'm writing about an experience I had at this location last month. My boyfriend and I both ordered the spinach and egg wraps before we went to play tennis. The wraps were both cold, but mine was basically frozen in the center. I asked them to warm it up, and they obliged. The thing that is kind of gross, is that I had bit into the wrap already. When they stuffed it into the oven, they used the tongs that they handle all of the other food with. When they took out the wrap, some of the cheese and egg from where I had bitten into the wrap fell out. The worker proceeded to stuff this part that may have been in contact with my mouth back into the wrap using the tongs that I think they use to handle all food that needs to be heated. I doubt the next person who ordered a wrap would like to think about the tongs being in contact with the part of food that I had bitten into. I wish I would have said something, but now you know! read more

I have always been a fan of Jamba Juice since they opened their first store here in Hawaii ~9 years ago. This particular Jamba, like many others I've been to, are clean with a young energetic staff. Over the years I feel like I've seen prices slowly creep up. This AM I started off my day with a "Primo Acai Bowl"...needless to say I was not all that impressed. In comparison, for $5.95 I probably should have headed over to Lanikai Juice for a bigger and better selection of breakfast-bowl type of meals. I still love Jamba for their smoothies, and was finally glad to see they started offering all-fruit ones and in smaller sizes. Jamba has gotten a lot of flack over the years from Men's Health for their eye-popping sugar loaded choices such as the Peanut Butter or Chocolate Moo'd., among others. If you haven't tried anything from their "secret" menu, ask for the "white gummy bear". I have only had success asking for it at their Pearlridge location, which at one time was one of the busiest in the nation. If they aren't sure how to make it, politely ask for something else because the order is a little complicated. It really does taste like a white gummy bear! read more

I am giving this location 4 stars because of service - if you are like me you have gone to several different Jamba Juice locations and know what to expect taste wise. My fall backs are Strawberries Wild and Banana Berry smoothie. I recently tried the All Fruit Smoothie for a healthier alternative - I tried the Strawberry Swirl Smoothie. Kind of a lighter version of the Strawberries Wild with less calories :) I have always liked their smoothies consistency - not too icy but frozen just enough. For a chain they do a good job overall maintaining their product. I like this location because it is a fairly decent size for Koko Marina - not too crowded ever, and plenty of parking! But I mentioned their service - I took my son here the other day and we decided we would sit outside and wait for our smoothies. There were at least 4 couples ahead of us so we thought we would just go back in after 5 - 10 minutes and pick up our order - nope they brought it out to us. They could have kept it on the counter and wait for us to pick it up - but they did not do that - they brought it to us as soon as it was done - classy! read more

I'm very used to having my blueberry cream cheese scones with my jamba, but I was not aware that they were out. I settled for the cranberry orange scones, which to me it tasted a little too orangey and not how a scone should taste. At least I got 3.00 off my purchase and I can't complain too much about it. So when I return to this location again, I would love to see the blueberry cream cheese flavored scones again, which does make it tastes a lot better with the kona berry blast smoothie. read more

Visiting JJ was a great way to refresh after hiking Koko Head! This location is kind of small, but the staff was friendly and fast. I also purchased a fun tumbler to remember our visit since the state of VA (where we currently live) has NO Jamba. SADFACE. read more

This is an all right Jamba Juice location but not exactly the best, however. It's a smaller location, and the service is okay, but there are times where it seems like it takes forever (10 minutes or more!) just to get one smoothie, and this is when it is not super-crowded. And even with the smoothie, it could be made a little better, in my opinion. I also think that they may be understaffed at times especially during peak periods. Otherwise, not too shabby! read more

Love the all mango smoothie! I have one at least twice a month. It's my favorite treat!

Jamba is Jamba. It's a chain. The are ubiquitous---love the opportunity to use that word---and, as such, have strict corporate protocols for selection, ingredients, store layout, etc. Which is not bad! It's a known and I love "knowns"---especially when it comes to my smoothies. However, after reading several reviews that mention Lanikai Juice, it's on my list to try. But for this particular Jamba and our experience there: 2 stars I'm pretty liberal with my star rating, often erring on the side of being too generous, but we were so disappointed with the "robot" service from the two gals working this morning (10-23-12) that a two star rating is all I can muster. It was bad. Pathetic. We were the only two patrons and their lack of enthusiasm was not just lackluster, it was like somebody had just died. Sorry, maybe that IS what happened and they were working thru their loss. I dunno. But as one reviewer already complained about this 5 months ago and hoped the manager / owner would read it---I'm afraid the problem still persists. I'm still a Jamba fan. Love our local Jamba at home. But I think next time we'll be branching out and giving Lanikai Juice a try. read more

Today I decided to use my Jamba coupon for buy one, get one free. So I make the truck down to the Koko Marina Jamba Juice to be met by unfriendly staff who seem like they don't want to be there. I ordered a large peanut butter mood and new pina colada smoothies. The wait wasn't very long, and that's the reason they're getting two stars for me. The "smoothies" are so thin, I would compare them to being more like flavored milk and juice. When I go to Jamba Juice I think of a smoothie, when I order a smoothie I think it should be thick and flavorful. Although these were quite flavorful, they were not thick at all. I'll definitely think twice before going back to this Jamba Juice. read more

I looove Jamba and this location is PERFECT for a post-workout smoothie after hitting up 24. While visiting the grandparents in Hawaii Kai, I absolutely fell in love with the all-fruit Gotta Guava smoothie. Makes coming back the mainland an even harder blow. In terms of this location, service is friendly and fast despite the sometimes long lines. Wish I could go back, but alas I will have to wait until next summer. Boo. read more

This place gets 4 stars. I wanna shout out the Haole manager guy. I don't know your name, but you're a life saver! I was sick the other week and all I wanted was an orange-carrot juice to help me feel better. I finally found the energy to get to Koko Marina in my NyQuil induced state and headed to JJ. JJ closes at 8pm and I walked in at 7:58 p.m. I could see the crew had just cleaned all the machines and now I wanted a damn juice! I felt so bad. I was THAT annoying customer at the end of a shift (I've worked in restaurants, so I know). The guy was super nice, made my juice, and assured me it wouldn't take long for him to clean the machine again. It might not seem like much to you, but the JJ crew at other locations will burn sores into your face with their evil stares. I'm now feeling well again. Cheers to you HK JJ! read more

I really hope the manager/owner reads these reviews. The apples & greens smoothie was ok, but the two girls working there had piss-poor attitudes and should be replaced with someone who can at least "act" like they like their job! I will not go back because of the poor service! read more

The guy working there gave me a small when I ordered a Medium. Didn't realize it because I was sick and halfway home.

We went during the afternoon service so the place was pretty packed. Service was decently quick considering how many people were line. The drinks were well made and tasted very fresh, and the location was clean. A pleasant experience. read more

Yes, I am a Jamba lover. Whether its Smoothies, Acai Bowls, Oatmeal, or just plain OJ, I love it all. I work out in Hawaii Kai, so the closest one is Koko Marina. I think because it's the only one in this area, is always packed! Next door to Teddys Burgers, and Greek Marina, it's always super hard to find parking! And now theres Paina Cafe and Fatboys so parking is even worse. They used to have one at Hawaii Kai Towne Center which I thought was awesome, but it's no longer there. *sad face* :( I'm a new fan of the Kona Berry Bowl! Its kind of like the acai, but a little more bland. Its been my lunch every now and then :] Whenever I feel a cold coming on, Coldbuster is my savior! I'll go to Jamba whenever I can to get one! I have gone twice a day a few times :p All that vitamin C (with extra immunity boost ;]) helps! Its probably a mental thing, but I feel instantly better with my first sip :D Go-to smoothies are Peach Pleasure, Orange Dream, Pomegranate Pick Me Up, and 5 Fruit Frenzy! Yummy! read more

Whenever i'm in the area I always come here after a long day at the beach, snorkeling, hiking, or just cruising. The staff is always very friendly and are quick with making the orders. Props to you all. read more
