    IT'S OPENED! I'm glad that they finally opened up a Jamba Juice on campus! I visited it yesterday for the first time, and there was a good amount of people in line. I ordered a Strawberry Nirvana ($3.99) with a Daily Vitamin Boost. There were about 2-3 people making drinks, while one person manned the cash register. It took a while for me to receive my order, even though I only had a 16 oz. smoothie. I overheard other people saying that they waited a while to get their orders, but hey, when there are a lot of orders, there are long waits! When I first tried my smoothie, I immediately noticed a powdery taste. I'm guessing that they really wanted me to get my vitamins, because that drink was extremely boosted! Other Jamba Juices I've been to didn't have such a strong powder taste. And I know for a fact that there is way too much powder -- I tried my sister's order: a 16 oz. Berry Fulfilling smoothie. I tried a sip. Soooo powdery! It made the drink taste completely different! I think I'll have to come back here another time and try their drinks without boosts. Still, I think it's pretty decent to have a Jamba Juice on campus. They offer food here, so that's kind of cool. They don't accept Jamba Juice gift cards though. Sad day. But yeah, this place definitely beats the Juice-It-Up! at the University Town Center.

    Line always moves super quickly and the orders are followed through efficiently. The workers who hand out the drinks never fail to deliver the order with bright smiles. My only gripe is that at peak hours, the space gets a little cramped with all the people in line and waiting for drinks.

    Aw I don't know why this place has such a low rating. I think it's one of the better places in the student center. The workers are generally nice, the drinks taste fine to me, and it definitely moves faster than the Starbucks on campus. I also really like that they don't use the Styrofoam cups, but maybe all Jambas stopped doing that (I haven't been to another Jamba in forever). The only thing I don't like about this location is that, like most of the other food places on campus, it's a "licensed concept", meaning it has it's own rules and pricing, meaning slightly more expensive than "real" Jamba Juices and they don't accept gift cards, which is why I'm only giving it three stars. Bummer. Still not that bad though for something on campus. I'm glad they opened one here.

    Jamba juice is always consistent at blending up their drinks! Got the Strawberries Whirl today in the large size for around $6. Expensive? Yes. But delicious and refreshing? Ya. This is the best place around here to get some juice, but don't mistake it for being healthy. There's a lot of sugar in it...And that's what makes is good.

    Acai Primo Bowl- a little pricey but worth the splurge

    Definitely one of my favorite dining locations at UCI. Tons of healthy options (some unhealthy ones too if you're looking for a treat), fast service, friendly staff, and a light atmosphere. Not much more you could ask for in a smoothie bar if you ask me!

    Jamba that isn't really Jamba. Slightly more expensive? Doesn't accept stuff. And usually long wait times. That's about it.

    My smoothie tastes great all the time! Doesn't get much better than the Jamba Juice on campus. Refreshing! Cold!

    The acai bowls are pretty good as well, and provide an alternative to the regular salads offered around UCI.

I was out shopping with my kids, it was hot and all 3 kids were having a melt down. When we entered the store, it was complete chaos. My oldest son is autistic, nonverbal and was overstimulated. I just wanted a quick smoothie, but I almost turned around and walked out because we were causing such a scene. It was until the sweetest person approached my son and offered him a sticker. I believe her name was Genessa. I told her that I wasn't familiar with the menu and I just wanted a quick smoothie. Her kind heart and professionalism completely changed the dynamic and atmosphere. My kids were so drawn to her. She gave me a couple recommendations and I just told her to surprise me. She smiled and quickly wiped up the best smoothie I've ever had in my life. As I was walking out, I looked down at my cup, and she wrote down the sweetest message, "you are doing great mama, keep it up!" When I tell you the smallest little acts of kindness truly do make biggest impacts. She was kind to my children, calm down my autistic son, created the best smoothie and gave me the boost of confidence I needed to tackle the rest of the day. I wish every company had an employee like this. The world would honestly be a better place. I can't wait to visit again. Best experience ever.

    On such a hot day. I was craving something fresh and nutritious after church…read more My Yelp friends led me here, and when I first walked in, there was a little bit of a line which I usually interpret as a good sign. I spent about $14 for an açai bowl their tropical mango bowl I believe. I had some modifications since I didn't like the raw coconut offering or the banana so I opted for sliced almonds and extra mango with almond butter on top. After waiting a few minutes, looking at the bowl, it didn't look like much and sadly it didn't taste like much either. The almond butter was globed on top and made it really difficult to eat. After bypassing the almond butter I was able to get into the açai which was way too sweet. I'm not sure what type of açai they use, but it did not taste like a freshly prepared açai it tasted more artificial and overly sweet. It may have also been sweet because of the honey I believe they put on top of it. The combination of the açai with the honey and then almond butter was way too sweet. The mango was OK not as firm as I would want it to be and the granola was at the bottom at the bowl and also sprinkled on top, but unfortunately it was the worst acai bowl I've ever had. Parking is free and they do offer a few seats inside. The staff was also really nice but unfortunately, if I do decide to come back maybe I'll try a smoothie instead.

It was noticeably less pink and vibrant than expected, and the flavor was so faint that it was almost tasteless. If that had been my first experience with the smoothie, I probably wouldn't have ordered it again. Based on that visit alone, I'd give it 2 stars at best. The Irvine location, however, was a completely different story. The Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie was rich, flavorful, fresh-tasting, and beautifully vibrant in color. It was so good that after my first sip, I turned around before even getting back to my car and bought a second smoothie--the Mint Chocolate Chip. A few days later, I came back again. That's how impressed I was. The contrast between the two locations was shocking. The Irvine team clearly knows how to make these smoothies consistently and with the right balance of ingredients. After my Long Beach experience, I honestly wouldn't dare order the Strawberry Shortcake again without modifications or asking extra questions about how it's prepared. But at Irvine, I'd give it 6 stars if I could. Same smoothie, same company, completely different experience.
