If I could I'd give this 0 stars, I would. The last shift of workers on the weekdays either need to get fired or quit. I get that sometimes customers come in right before closing but IT'S THEIR JOB to work the FULL hours. It's also why they have BUSINESS HOURS. Came in with a couple other friends to each get the same SMOOTHIE. Granted we came in 10 mins before closing but they were still open. We could've ordered different drinks to make it more complicated and to have them clean MORE blenders. The girl making our SMOOTHIES filled the blender to the top to make 3 large drinks so multiple blenders weren't used. The girl stared at the drinks INCLUDING THE CASHIER knowing that they were made incorrectly. It was literally JUICE, not a smoothie! I've worked in the food industry so I know how it feels when customers come in before closing but you have to work until closing. It's your job! We didn't ask to have the drinks re-made because you can sense the hostility. If they hate their job so much QUIT. Corporate needs to get on top of this location because I've come in a few times already and the the attitudes/glares when you walk in. What did the customer do to you? If anything, we help keep this location in business so that you have a job! If Yelp allowed videos to be uploaded, I can show you the watermelon breeze JUICE that was made. Also I see that Jamba customer service replies to a lot of the reviews. I've already copied and pasted the above to the www.Jamba.com/contact-us page. Thanks. read more

Jazmin the cashier is very unwelcoming and clearly doesn't know what the menu consist of. After I explained to her what I didn't want on my order she confirmed that it didn't come with it which was not right even having the menu right behind her. I hear names being called out for other customers and when my order comes up she just slides it over to me not saying a single word or have a nice day and on top of that MY ORDER IS WRONG. Everything I said I didn't want on there , is exactly what my order had! She has a bad attitude and clearly looks like she doesn't want to be there. I paid a lot for just one thing here and can't even get good customer service! Disappointing! read more

I placed an order for my smoothie at 7:30. When I came to pick up the order, the store was CLOSED?! The window and the website said it closed at 8pm, but I was there before that time and the doors were locked and the lights were off. I demand a refund. read more

This is a second time I went to this place 20 min before closing and ask for orange juice and they said they are not serving any juices bc they are closing soon and all the machines are off. I think if a business is operating till a certain time they should provide services till closing. Never going to this place again.... read more

Amazing drink and the staff is great here! The ambiance and atmosphere is excéntrico.

Please avoid this place I've gone this place for last few times The workers are really bad customer service and need to improve the making a nice & clean smoothies My smoothie was over flow and dirty And they need to wash their uniforms I love Jamba Juice but, I am gonna go to different location Price $7-$10 read more

Bunch of incompetents teenagers working in this place I ordered a simple juice they made a different flavor and the girl still got an attitude saying that was what I placed.

Great smoothies and quick service. I've ordered a smoothie from door dash and they're still cold and delicious

I come here a lot after the gym...normally the service is great! Not sure what happened today. I waited for my drink for 20 minutes....which really isn't acceptable. My sandwich was burnt to a crisp and then sat behind the counter for 10 plus minutes while my smoothie was being made. ‍ read more

Im not one to just throw out bad reviews just because but honestly, I'm upset and no one would answer the phone. My boyfriend ordered a chocolate smoothie and asked for no banana and peanut butter. Everything was great till he was halfway home and started to get an itchy throat and mouth because he has an ALLERGY to BANANAS. He specifically said no bananas in the drink yet they still put it in. He's never had an issue before and always orders the same exact drink wherever he goes but his first time at this Jamba juice and now he has a problem. Thankfully his allergy is not sever but still, he has an allergy and somewhere down the line something got miss read or typed out wrong, maybe even miss heard. I'm really disappointed :/ read more

Jamba Juice is a large chain juice and smoothie concept. This specific location is in Lake Forest off of El Toro. I have been coming to this location for years and it has been consistently decent. The smoothies come out pretty fast and the customer service is always pretty good. Parking is plentiful, but you may not find a spot near Jamba Juice since it is a busy center. The price is a tad on the higher side for it being a large chain. It's priced similar to smaller local smoothie concepts. My favorite smoothies here are the Red Gummy, White Gummy, Pink Starburst, and Strawberry Wave. Overall, it's pretty decent and you should consider trying it. read more

I stopped by here to kill some time while my car was being serviced. They were crazy busy with orders from post mates as well as in-store customers. While an employee was handing a customer her drink, it accidentally fell and the customer was being so rude to her even though it was just an accident. I felt so bad I wanted to give her a hug. The guy working the register had to very nicely urge everyone to stay calm while mopping up the mess and was still incredibly nice to me and other customers amongst the chaos. He politely let me know that it may be a few minutes because of the amount of post mates orders coming in. I forgot to get his name but it's the end of the day now and I'm still admiring how amazing the employees were. This year has been difficult for everyone so if we could all remember to be kind whether we're an employee or customer, it'll make everyone's day better :) P.S my açaí bowl and another juice I had to get was ready in no time! read more

Google states they open at 8am. Waited at least 5 minutes after and never saw a worker or lights on in the building. May be closed or need to update their hours. read more

Believe I got food poisoning, went on Thursday August 3rd, 2023, bought a peanut butter mood and a waffle for my lunch and when I bit into the waffle I could taste egg and then the rest of the day my stomach was a mess. When I got home after work, I started getting chills and the runs, has not been a fun time. Please be careful! read more

There was a bit of a wait which is expected on an weekend afternoon but the staff working today were very on top of it! The gentleman helped me was very kind and got my order out fast. He also offered me hot sauce which I did not know they had so I was VERYYYY excited to add that to my sandwich. Overall I've never had any issues with this place they've always been kind and helpful for me. read more

This Jamba Juice always seems to be out of something every time that we place a mobile order for this location. Being that we have paid for our order on the app they can't even refund you immediately because it has to go through the app, what an absolute inconvenience. Bottom line if you are out of something update the app like Starbucks. I would not recommend this location. read more

You all exceed my expectations!! Had a free birthday smoothie that expired and I thought There was no expiration. The Orange-C Booster was right on time!! I was given the birthday smoothie and only paid a small amount to share with my daughter. This could've went two ways. "Sorry sir no luck" or like Jaden the shift manager did "we will honor it" As a fellow business owner I can appreciate GREAT SERVICE! You and you're entire team continue down this path and you will all go very far!! read more

Jamba - Orange-C Booster - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Pretty much the worst experience. Horribly organized. They were having a midday rush and were short staffed, but still waited almost an hour for two smoothies with my children. They weren't very happy, I don't think I would have been either given how slammed they were, but they were all over the place and not giving smoothies to customers in order of when they purchased. Also got many smoothies wrong? And didn't show any urgency. So weird. Won't be back read more

I can barely hear the girl when she was attempting to take my order and when we get the drinks it's not even filled to the top. What are you guys rationing lmao and before we could say anything both girls ran to the back. For almost $7 I'd like my drink to be filled to the top please and thank you read more

Love how it says no minimum when you search for delivery spots. Yet if you order under 10 they charge you 2$... I'm sorry but that sounds like there's a minimum to me... I don't know if it's a grub hub thing or Jamba Juice... but that's misleading... read more

Don't go here. Orange juice was poured out of a pitcher sitting on the counter, not freshly squeezed. The whole reason we go here is the freshly squeezed OJ machine. When I asked when they squeezed these oranges they said about 45 minutes ago. The manager then told me they use old orange juice up to 2 hours if it's busy. That way they don't get backed up by a lot of morning orange juice orders. We bought ours around 2pm. Manager and staff didn't really care when we asked about this because the OJ tasted bitter. We've had better tasting OJ out of a bottle at the grocery store. Not worth the cost if they aren't going to freshly squeeze it. read more

This jamba is dope. All the workers and manager look super young but they are all super helpful. I was having issues with with the app and a reward and they easily helped me out. Besides app stuff everyone here is super nice. They all look like high school kids but their service and kindness is unmatched read more

Smoothies & bowls great! Jamba Juice is really awesome! My favorite smoothies are the fruit ones my next one that I'm going to try it will be the dragon fruit. I've had one before from a different smoothie place but I saw one last time I went and got a melon madness, and I am Jonesing on getting a dragon fruit smoothie or a bowl read more

Excelente servicio y clean environment level of noise and music very confortable to talk and enjoy a conversation

My issues with fruits and specifically vegetables started at a very young age. My mother still loves to regale friends with the tale of how I had to be taken to the emergency room as a three year old for shoving peas so far my up my nose I needed a medical procedure to remove them. One pea-oscopy and over 40 years later, my opinion of this food group hasn't changed much. I have always sought out creative ways to get my fruits and veggies and some times it leads me to Jamba Juice. Jamba Juice has over 800 locations in the United States, the Bahamas, Canada, the Philippines, Mexico, Taiwan and South Korea and is headquartered out of Emeryville, California. There are 287 company owned locations, 517 franchised locations in the United States and 45 international locations. In 2000, Jamba Juice acquired Zuka Juice, Inc. and three years later was acquired by Services Acquisition Corp. International for 265 million dollars which changed its name to Jamba Inc. This location ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jamba-juice-lake-forest?select=Y-aAyu8CH7-3QiJDbejQHw ) was part of the revamp for The Orchard center and is located right across from The Habit Burger Grill. Until recently, I had been several years removed from visits to Jamba Juice and they have expanded their menu ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jamba-juice-lake-forest?select=oI3AANJWn2V5EdRhm1uAtQ ) to include energy bowls. The shop also offers some healthier baked items ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jamba-juice-lake-forest?select=wmycYk5dtYjBiOCnNbksJg ) and bottled drinks if you are not in the mood for smoothies or juices. On this particular visit I was warmly greeted by all three of the employees in front with my medium Aloha Pineapple order being taken and prepared in a timely manner. There are a few stools inside of the shop and some tables outside for seating with some umbrellas for shade. In my absence, this location at the very least, has made some interesting changes. The first change was the styrofoam cup being replaced by a plastic one which is slightly more environmentally friendly because plastic can be recycled and styrofoam is not recyclable. However, styrofoam is a much better insulator and keeps hot drinks warmer and smoothies colder which was noticed on this visit. I can remember getting Jamba juice in the past in the styrofoam cups and having the thickness really hold up even with the heat of summer while the plastic cup provided zero insulation and even though it wasn't that hot of a day the smoothie was partially melted by the time I arrived at my car. The second issue is the prices have gone up since my last visit (duh!), but the size of a medium drink ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jamba-juice-lake-forest?select=qyRbL7yaf8Znjei0_m4lQg ) has shrank. I remember the medium smoothie coming in a 20 oz. styrofoam cup and now it comes in a 16 oz. plastic cup. The drink itself was also a little less balanced than I remember with strawberry dominating the flavor profile. I really like strawberries, but it that is all I wanted to taste, I would just order a strawberry smoothie. I am not sure the person making my drink was new or if there was some other issue, but I would think this was just a fluke. I would also like them to add a little additional yogurt to the smoothie if they are steering away from the styrofoam cups. And here is another health fallacy I am going to obliterate: smoothies are not so healthy. Here is the breakdown of a small (12 oz.) Aloha Pineapple smoothie vs. a 12 oz. bottle of Coke. Calories: Coke 143 / Smoothie 310 Carbs: Coke 39.9 gm / Smoothie 67 gm Sugars: Coke 39.9 gm / Smoothie 67 gm So basically you would have to drink two bottles of Coke to get the same amount of calories / carbs / sugars in one small smoothie. As my readers know, I don't really care about eating healthy, I care about food tasting great especially if I am eating out. Rohlinism: You can't cheat death, but you can die with a happy palate! The location is somewhat convenient and I am not really sure if there are any other locations nearby so I will probably continue to come here for my daily blended fruits. It is better than shoving some strawberries up my nose! read more

The drinks are great. Pretty much the same across any other Jamba Juice but the staff is somewhat unfriendly.

They employees where very nice and was able to give me great advice on a new item on their menu. Happy that I came here and the service was safe and accurate. The store has good seating and parking is not to bad. The tables and seats are cleaned and also wanted to add that they greeted me with a smile and welcome. That's to me goes a long way just because sometime when others are positive and happy, that can rub off. read more

I come here all the time... seems like a new staff that is more than rude and condescending! I have a coupon for a b1g1 from money mailer that this store uses to advertise... I wanted 2 regular smoothies.. they denied me saying it's for small. I explained I come here all the time.. they said.. well.. we're not doing it with a condescending attitude. If they keep this up.. they'll be no business. read more

I have been to this location many times with friends but it hasn't made me feel like coming back. I get off work and try to play tennis with friends IF I can get off work on time. Many times I stay late at work as urgent matters may arise. That being said, the last 3 times I have been to this location have been roughly 10-15 min before closing as I come after tennis. I understand it is coming close to closing hours but I believe if you are still on the clock, you should still be providing service. Close to closing time isn't excuse to pack up and be waiting to leave. That being said, the last 3 times I have come it was with friends and I am given rolling eyes or these flares that pretty much scream for me to leave. It makes me feel totally unwelcome. There is one particular employee that I have seen each time and she is the biggest offender. Besides giving some serious attitude and bad service, the quality of the product suffers as well. I am not sure if this is because she is training or if she thinks she is giving me some sort of payback. The first of the 3 visits, I was given a watermelon breeze about 70% full. I let it go because I felt like it was a one time thing. The second time, same thing. My drink was about 70% full. This third time the drink was full but the drink was almost as liquid as juice I would buy at the store. You could visually see the consistency was incorrect and there were other workers who stared at the drinks while they were being poured because they could see it was wrong. Despite this, they felt it was okay to give my friends and I drinks that were clearly made incorrectly. So 2/3 visits, I get skimped on my drink and the 3rd time I'm given a drink made incorrectly. There was no point in asking them to remake it as I don't plan on coming back to this location. Do not come anywhere within 20 min of closing time as your drink will likely be mediocre at best and you'll get to enjoy the passive aggressiveness of an employee who is ready to leave 20 min before closing. read more

I just moved down the street... and was so excited to have a Jamba juice here... Came here twice now the first time the young guy at the counter took my order. I ordered a medium orange carrot twist with chia seeds. He made me repeat my order 4 times... ok maybe he didnt hear me no problem. After he took my order and the shift leader started to make my drink... 10 mins after she tells me "Ohhh we ran our of oj since yesterday"... how are you out of oj??? Since yesterday??? Its like 9am at this point and ralphs is down the street... idk I have worked at jamba juice many moons ago something like running out of oj would be resolved right away let alone 2 days. I wish the cashier let me know before I ordered if he knew since yesterday so i didnt waste 15 mins of my time and money on just carrot juice. Second attempt was today my husband went in to grab me an oj since I'm pregnant and craving oj... but once again their oj machine in boken... sighhhh i guess I'm not getting oj from this location. read more

I'm really disappointed with this Jamba Juice, I order a Medium Bold n Cold Brew and a Impossible Handwich (yes spell that way) both items were discussing discounting, mind you I order this on Sunday 6/26/22 but I could not return to this location until two days after to informed them that these items well disputing the kid in the jamba juice said "nothing we can't do because you took two days" I said "yes I tried to come back but we are looking for a place to live and work and kids is not easy" I said can't you at least give a discount towards a new order he said no, really really I'm a long time customer and I will not come back here ever...................really said that you lost a customer and we all 4 liked Jamba juice so your lost. read more

I just went to Jamba Juice today (as well as yesterday). Their WiFi is down so you cannot use coupon or earn points. When this happened and their was a different managed, because she took blame for the inconvenience of not being able to get your points, she gave me the $3 discount. EVERY TIME and I went daily. I worn at HomeGoods in the center and told several associates, who also went to Jamba Juice and for the same discount. That is customer service. Yesterday, they gave me a $3 discount. Today when I went, their WiFi was still down. I asked the cashier to ask the manager if they will give a discount again. The manager came out and told me ' I recognize you from Yesterday. I cannot give you the same discount $3, You can take the receipt and call them to get your discount. '. I wasn't asking for the $3, $1 would have been ok. It was the principle of the matter, the manager taking responsibility for the inconvenience, not inconvenience the customer and make them so the work for $3. I won't be eating at this location any longer. I am on the morning shift (5AM or 6AM, the only place open at that time is Starbucks and Denny's. I will be going to Corner Bakery, Farmers, Denny's or Starbucks on my morning break, since they will be open. Take care Jamba Juice, you need to learn customer service and to give the customer a discount when it is your [wifi being down] fault we cannot get our points. read more

Just had an apples and greens smoothie, a Belgian waffle and an açaí bowl. SuPer delicious, very clean establishment and parking is decent. Staff was very polite and fast. I will def come back, but I will say my bananas were a bit on the brown side , not that that matters to me but I do know some people do not care for brown bananas and only eat fresh ones . Heads up! Still super delicious!!!! Happy eating read more

Employees at this location don't wear masks! When I asked why they just shrugged, including a young man who look like he was a manager. This place isn't safe, I won't be coming back and I don't recommend you go there if you're concerned about catching COVID19 read more

Large Protein berry w/Soy to start my day I usually stop here before work or stop at the Jamba Juice in Shops at Mission. Everyone is great. Today, got my usual after a doctor's appt. I noticed that it was filled to almost inch below the top. They always fill to the top. I can understand missing a measurement a little, but the gal's comment was, "This is what they made you". It was the lunch hour, but where is consistency or a question asking if I would like it topped off. Just the concern, I wouldn't have waited but it looks like managers were interviewing today and focus was not on customer service. read more

Good smoothies, but poor customer service and a rather strange experience unfortunately. Went to pick up a mobile order, no greeting or acknowledgement by the girls behind the counter. There's an area for picking up mobile orders, but it seems like the worker in charge of that area was trying to avoid acknowledging us at all costs? We made direct eye contact with both workers and they didn't even bother to ask us what we were there for or acknowledge our presence whatsoever. Our drinks were sitting out on the counter the entire time while the employees avoided us, and we were two of four customers in the entire store. Disappointing. :/ read more

Great service, got my smoothie quick and they managed the big crowd during the rush well.

Great service ! Friendly staff my order was made on time - manager suggested a bowl made I'd and it was delicious! They took the time to help and took the time to really help me understand my needs. Thank you so Much! And jessica was so nice and friendly ! Idk why people compliant when this place has been great to me and others read more
