This specific jamba juice location sucks. The customer service sucks. Also everytime i've ever ordered a smoothie is comes out soupy every single time. read more

This review is for the stand-alone Jamba Juice in Grossmont Center (not the one in Target). I used to get smoothies from here on almost a daily basis until they started slacking off big time. The last 2 shakes I got were not even cold or blended all the way! If there's more than a few people in line, watch out, they slack off and barely blend the shakes before throwing them in a cup and getting you out of there. To top it off, they have an employee who loves to shout extremely loud over the blenders to the rest of the staff. You can tell he thinks it's funny and clever, but it really just solidifies the feeling that you are being served by a bunch of 13 year olds. read more

Kinda long but plz read!! The Only reason I'm giving a low number of stars is because I felt like me and person I was with was treated differently and wrong. We stopped by there's a sign on the front that says 4 customers at a time inside. Ok sure we understand. There was 1 woman, and 1 man with a big dog inside. So with the 2 of us inside would be 4 exactly. We go in, I order my smoothie and at that same time the woman got her order and left. So we were down to 3 and a dog. I pay for my smoothie even tell her to keep the change and she says "im gonna have you guys wait outside. We will let you know when it's ready." mind you she didn't even look at us when she said it. At that moment I didn't think much about it, I said "ok sure" and we went out front. A few moments later I realized wait a minute, there's only one guy in there with a dog why did she have us wait outside? As we're waiting this same girl goes and talks to the man in there and loves on his dog and another employee does the same. My smoothie is set on the counter and she had said previously that she would come out and let us know when it's ready, so I waited to see if she actually was going to do exactly that. But instead she let it sit there and just started socializing with her employees and just leaning on the counter and talking but giving this man all her attention. The person I was with just went inside to get it and as we were leaving she was still just sitting there petting this mans dog. I just felt like that wasn't right and I felt like we were being treated differently. She sent us outside for no reason and let the man with the dog hangout inside, now I'm a dog person I didn't care that the dog was in there just want to make that clear, it just made no sense to send us outside. She didn't let us know when it was ready because she wanted to socialize instead. Even when she took the order she was very cold and I felt like a bother. I believe her name was trinity. Her name was kinda smeared, also we've both worked customer service before and still do so we completely are understanding people..but that just rubbed us the wrong way. read more

Trinity was extremely rude. I walked inside the store and asked how many people were allowed to be on the store. She advised me that 10 people including the workers could be inside. She said there was 5 people working and since there was only four customers I believed everything was okay. Until she told me and the other black young ladies to step outside. I have no problem following safety guidelines as long as they apply to everyone. With that being said she had no problem with the young Caucasian lady eating her pastries in the store. It wasn't until the we made a fuss about the unfair treatment that Trinity said she the young lady eating her pastries had to leave. You will never catch me in this Jamba Juice again. read more

I guess on a real hot day I could see myself regularly drinking a Jamba Juice, but other than that I don't think it is something to go out of the way for. Don't get me wrong, my Jamba Juice was delicious but again this is one of those places that could not survive outside of a mall or shopping center. They also sell coffee and snacks here, but the only thing I've had from here were their smoothies. The store is small with only a couple of tables so this is more of a "grab and go" type of layout. The workers did a good enough job between working the register and making the drinks. read more

Eh, there's really not too much to say about jamba juice, most are pretty generic. The service is decent and they make drinks pretty quickly. Not much room to sit, and most people just stand for their drinks, but that's jamba juice for ya. Can't complain, I'm a fan, and its not somewhere I go to hang out read more

Can't rate this place on their average service since we came on the last day of their Happy Hour deal ($1 16oz drinks). The staff were understandably overwhelmed and rushing. There was a constant crowd of people waiting for their drinks. We waited a very long time but it was to be expected. The girl calling names took the time to talk to customers who had questions or concerns and made sure that ours were being made. The drinks (watermelon splash and five fruit frenzy) were delicious and refreshing. I think there were some issues with people's drinks not being blended and a couple missing ones but like I said, this was not a typical day. Based on drinks alone, we'll definitely be back. read more

I'm just gonna leave this place with 4 STARS because spots like these are a hit and miss. Yesterday, I ordered a Mega Mango smoothie but I didn't taste the whole fruits at all. I'm assuming they used pineapple juice because it completely overpowers the smoothie. No taste of the mangos or strawberries. I would expect to taste every fruit in an "All-Fruit Smoothie" or at least Mango in a proclaimed Mango smoothie. Bummer... read more

I visited this location on 1/6 in the early afternoon to get a fresh pressed juice and was disgusted by the sight of a sick man working the blenders. He was wiping his nose with his hands to add insult to injury. Disgusting and completely unsanitary especially during flu season. Won't be coming back here...ever. read more

This Jamba Juice inside Target was the first Jamba store opened inside a Target store, I believe. The employees are not Jamba employees, but Target employees with dubious training. The store is also chronically understaffed. Poor kids get swamped at times and their smoothies are far under the Jamba Juice that is a few hundred feet IN THE SAME SHOPPING CENTER. The area is usually dirty and poorly lit. The Jamba Jr doesn't have a full menu, but it has the full overpriced cost of the average Jamba smoothie. For the health of your body and your wallet, these smoothies just don't make sense. Team members also staff both sides of the aisle here - Jamba Juice and Pizza Hut. It doesn't seem very hygienic as a set up nor do the employees wash hands when changing work stations or when they should (touching face, hair, etc.). Skip the expensive, calorie packed sugar shake and steer the kids around quickly so they don't scream for ice cream. read more

I love this Jamba Juice! Awesome customer service and darn good smoothies. Thanks Jamba for giving us the Dollar Days this Summer!!! read more

Well can't go wrong with Jamba Juice. This specific location gets three stars because the store is super small and always crowded. There's an outdoor patio but hardly any seating inside or out. I I don't mind waiting for a smoothie, but if you go on the weekends, you can hardly move around. They have about five people working at a time. The team works together pretty efficiently overall and the smoothies taste consistent with other locations. read more

I come here so freaking often it's insane. I really do love the protein berry workout with whey. The turkey sausage, roasted red pepper and Gouda breakfast sandwich is actually to die for. It's my staple quick breakfast. read more

All the staff is extremely nice and helpful in here! Jazz was super nice and offered advice on their juices and did not disappoint! The environment is welcoming and exactly what I hope for when coming in for a smoothie post-workout. read more

It's really disappointing to come get your usual and it's just way too thick, you can't even drink it, not enough ice at all, just terrible, welp last time coming to this one read more

I hope I'm spelling their names correctly, but Jaz, Trinity, and Eva are the absolute sweetest! There's a bowl I used to get but could not remember the name of and it's no longer listed. All of their smoothie bowls are great, so I was happy to order a new one to try, but they went out of their way to figure it out and offered to make it for me before I could even decide! Thank you ladies for everything and for such a positive experience! :) read more

Jazz was the most friendly Jamba Juice employee I have encountered. She was so helpful with the menu when I had questions. I have been to another East County Jamba Juice in Rancho San Diego and the staff there were stuck up, irritable, and unfriendly but this one always has nice staff. Ava was also very nice. read more

This location is not our usual location to go to, but since we were in the neighborhood & it's hot. We stopped in. There was quite a few people inside and only one cashier. She just wasn't friendly and inviting so that already set the mood. I asked her if she was having a good day and she answered it's been busy...it still didn't change her approach and it's unfortunate that she let her "busy" day affect her customer service. read more

I love Jamba Juice and I'm a frequent customer but the Jamba Juice I had today was not the best. I always get the PB & banana protein but this one was super watery and basically tasted like milk with ice and water. No flavor. Kinda disappointed. read more

Fun place to go. I'm addicted to their smoothies. There's no issue with customer service. Friendly staff. On my previous visit my husband and I had a survey portion on our receipt and we completed it, came back within a couple days and got 2 large smoothies for the price of 1 (: So far I've tried the Caribbean Passion Pomegranate Paradise both were DELICIOUS!!! Highly Recommend! and my husband has tried the Razzmatazz (A bit strange tasting due to the orange. Kind of tangy.) Strawberry Whirl Aloha Pineapple I'm gonna try one of their peach flavors next time! :) read more

I often go to Grossmont Mall for their movie theater, the Barnes and Noble's, and this Jamba Juice. Despite how busy it gets, they maintain their cool and always come through with the orders with a smile. Only complaint I have with them is when its really busy and they have several orders out on the counter it becomes difficult to tell whose drink was whose if you show up to the counter a bit late. Starbucks writes on their cups to solve this issue. Still a great place to get a cool drink! read more

Jamba - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - La Mesa, California

Consistently delicious and well organized considering that they seem to hire mostly kids. They're on the ball and well trained though and know how to take your order quickly and make a good smoothie! The shop is clean and in a mall so it's handy to lots of stores with ok parking. WTG, Jamba Juice read more

They should call this some kind of Jamba Jr. or something. It isn't a full store, and it is connected to the Target food court- not an autonomous unit for mid mall snacking. That said, it is pretty convenient to get a drink before, during, or after fulfilling all of your shopping needs at Target. But you can really run into some snags. Today baby girl and I were extremely hot after I picked her up from school. We turned dark while walking to the car! We drove past a famous chain of ice cream shops that has 31 types of flavor... they were packed, and their ice cream sucks. I had to go get some random stuff for the house anyways, and remembered there was a JJ inside Target. Score! I had to convince her it was just as good as ice cream, and she finally agreed to try it. We waited a long time, noticed another lady waiting a long time, and didn't see any sign of a worker. So, I told her we'd come back later. She said "good idea". On the way into the store I saw the guy on the other side selling pizzas and pretzels. Ok. So after picking up our items, we went back and decided on the Pomegranate one. I made it sound very delicious, and we were excited to get our brain freeze on. The guy was getting busy, as people were stacking up behind us. He should have had some help, as it is summer and they sell heat busting beverages. We finally got the drink and all was well. The end product kind of makes you forget the beginning and middle parts of your trip, but not totally. All in all, I will keep coming back, because we are at Target at least once a week, and the drinks are very tasty. Stay away from the Chocolate Moo'd. It is a good tasting meal, but it is one of the worst things you can drink, health-wise. read more

Whoever came up with this business model is a genius. Mix 90% ice, 5% fruit juice and 5% who knows what, throw it in a blender, put it in a cutsy cup tell people it's good for you and charge $5.00. What a rip. read more

Slow as molasses...pretty consistent with all there locations, regardless if they're crowded or not!

I'm never really satisfied with a drink from jamba juice. I always feel as if something is missing. Perhaps some sugar or the quality of the fruit is not ripe enough. It always taste like bitter fruit. However, I keep coming back for the Razzmatazz expecting something different each time! The service is always excellent! read more

Amazing service!picked my acai bowl and smoothie on Sunday.Place looked busy but team members welcomed me from the door (as other customers who came in later).Had few questions about Jamba Juice rewards program and received all the answers.Haven't seen anybody chilling without work!good job! read more

Worst customer service ever. Rachel disrespected me by talking to me like I was a piece of trash. She was incredibly rude. I come here at least 2 times per week and NEVER return. Jhovone the thin, prissy Asian boy was rude as well. Made my drink, gave it to someone else then got attitude with me because I asked why people who ordered after me got their stuff before. Then they rushed mine and I got a cup full of watery fruit, not the smoothie I paid for. Please retrain this people because they are ruining your business. As I said I will NEVER be back. read more

My second time coming to this location and very close to my place. After the first visit their service was exceptional. And on my second visit I even more impressed at the fact that they remembered even it was my second time coming. Thank you to all and Victoria for making me feel welcome. read more

The girls here are rude. From the moment of order til handing out my drinks. I swore never to return to this location. Management should really revisit customer service with their employees. read more

Today we went in because we recently purchased a jamba bogo fundraiser card so when before we ordered I asked about doing multiple orders in one purchase. Sierra who the manager Carly said was new took our order and believed she charged us correctly. She was unsure so she asked if I wanted to speak to her manager and I said yes. Carly came out and was rude as if we bothered her with trying to understand how these fundraiser cards worked. She explained her worker was new and doesn't know how the cards work exactly. And she looked blank at me. So I said ummm well can you fix it and she was so so rude and said uhh sure at this point like I really bothered her. I wouldn't have ordered the fourth drink if I couldn't use the promotion card. This rude so called manager then quickly fixed the transaction and charged us again with the right price and literally hands the card back says I'll be refunded 3-5 business days and handed me the receipts and walks away. She was so extremely rude I wanted to leave the drinks at this point. I barely got her name and that's after we had to embarrassingly ask her name since she was so quick to run to the back. I'm disgusted at her patience and rudeness. She shouldn't work with people if she can't even break a smile let alone be willing to do her job. I won't be returning here anymore. read more

I love Jamba Juice but boy have they gone down hill quick. I ordered an Acai Primo Bowl that came with "A tasty twist of Acai juice, soymilk, blueberries, strawberries and bananas, which we top with organic granola, fresh bananas, fresh blueberries, coconut, almonds and a drizzle of honey." and boy was i disappointed. the cashier who took my order repeated everything back correctly but the person who made my bowl either didn't know how to read or forget what was in a primo bowl. I asked for no coconut and no blueberries and she left out the garnola and almonds...and then says theres no room for the garnola...& i'm just like -.- thinking to myself...how could you forget to make room for the garnola...just makes no sense smh read more

I love smoothies and since they have introduced the ALL fruit smoothies, I'm a fan! They also offer smoothies with granola on top for breakfast and now oatmeal too! I'd give them a 4.5 but .5's are not an option on here. read more

I've been coming to this jamba just for years, never felt the need to express how terrible the customer service is until now. It was busy but they had 4 people and a manager working so smoothies weren't taking forever. I had ordered a pretzel with my smoothie and asked the worker if there was a pretzel ready as well.. she said " I dont know should just be a few more seconds" she was not friendly, so I waited.. and waited.. she refused to make eye contact with me and someone had obviously forgotten about my pretzel, which was fine It takes 30 seconds to heat up, no biggie... but she also didn't communicate to anyone else that I was waiting for a pretzel as well? I walked to the cashier to ask and he said oh my goodness I'm so sorry I totally forgot, the girls making the smoothies look at each other and laugh as if it's funny? I said no biggie again and waited for it to be done, as I'm walking out the girl worker YELLS out the door "oh thanks so much!!!!" And another worker also chimes in. I walk back in to ask to speak to a manager at this point because that was uncalled for and unprofessional. The manager was just as worse! She wanted to call out her employee in front of an entire store of customers? She said "which one was rude?" Did not apologize & did not ask what happened? How about you just acknowledge your customer is upset with your service and apologize for the inconvenience? You all work in customer service but clearly lack the skills. I'm all for second chances and love Jamba Juice so I'll give it another shot but I'm not sure it's okay to treat your guests like this! read more

It's your typical Jamba Juice but what I like about this location the most is the staff. Every time I come in everyone is extremely friend, outgoing and quick with the orders! read more

okay, at first i thought that putting a jamba juice inside of a target in a mall that already has a jamba juice was a stupid idea. i will admit i was wrong. i like the fact that i can get a smoothie and walk around shopping while enjoying it, or get one while leaving as a reward for a good shopping trip. also, it doesn't hurt that they are usually half as busy as the one on the other side of the mall, and the staff is nicer. that being said, i knocked off one star because while the staff is really nice, many could use a little more training in smoothie making. you can tell who has been working there a while, and who is new. i have never had anyone really screw up my drink, but then again it could just be that i am a smoothie snob. read more

We went to Jamba Juice to grab one of the bowls for dessert, we ordered the strawberry bowl specifically because it had peanut butter in it and we double checked with the cashier when we were ordering. After waiting about 20 minutes for our order to be ready because the person who was making the bowls stopped for ten minutes to wash dishes, we headed to the movies to eat. About two bites in we realized there was no peanut butter in either of the bowls. A very sad surprise... :-( read more

Standing here for five minutes And no one is here.. No target employees did anything bout it either

So I always like to come here after the gym to get a pomegranate pick me up with a shot of whey.. I have always ordered this light.. But today I went in and was told that wasn't possible. This is totally fine if the girl waiting on me wasn't such a b**** about it. Light or not I don't really care, but don't tell me you're going to do something then not do it. It also makes me think that this whole time they have been telling me they were making it the way I wanted but lying about it.. She told me "ok" to making it light when I know that's not what happened. That's not cool for business.. On top of that she decided to exclude the fact that I asked for whey.. I've never had a problem with other workers there but this girl shouldn't be in customer service. read more

Been Jamba-ing for years and was never too impressed, except for wheatgrass which I L-O-V-E love. Apart from the green goo of life, I always got the Peenya Cowlada [sic], which smacked of barium and corn syrup each time. Today my friend asked me to pick her up a Strawberry Nirvana. My kids were at her house on a playdate and so I said no prob. Am trying to Starbucks detox and figured a Jamba wheatgrass would autoclave my system. Walked into Grossmont Jamba at 4PM and felt I had wandered onto the set of Eight Is Enough with a few extras from Family thrown in. How is that so many Southern Californians really do resemble Willie Ames? Is that Kristy MacNicol in flip flops? Nicholas Bradford, didn't you ever grow up? Where is Sada Thompson when we need her? Okay, back to the juice. No wheatgrass for me. Fungi embargo. Better than E-coli, I guess. I was disappointed but glad to avoid alfalfa-borne pathogens. So I got the berry option under the Diet Jamba category. Nondairy base and sweetend with Splenda. And you know what? It was all right. Plenty of strawberry flecks and barely sweet. It tasted fibrous in a nice, Brillo, scrub-those-Starbucks-grounds-from-your-kidneys way. I still don't know why Jamba won't juice vegetables. A good juice of beet, parsley, spinach, ginger and a piece of apple: Yowsa! Quaff that ANY day! read more
