I ordered two smoothies the total came out to $19 and change. The TWO employees working this morning (2/7/26) stated that I was not allowed to pay with a $20 bill and request I pay with 2 $10 bills - when I explained to them that the "change" is the same whether I pay with 2 $10s or a $20 bill and that is has no impact on a "change shortage" to accept a $20 instead of $10s and that maybe a correction to their sign stating they are unable to issue change or can only accept exact change would make sense. They then turned super pushy and said they will get in trouble if they accept a $20 bill and that we needed to have change to pay. Got them 2 $10 instead and got the same change I would have with a $20. Then I'm met with absolutely rude behavior from these two young cash register girls who have somehow decided that because I have questioned this sign that they now can just be rude to a customer who has dropped in about once a month for the past 10 plus years (since those girls were still in elementary school) they didn't let me type my number in for rewards and ignored me immediately after snatching the money from my husbands hand. Make this make sense Jamba Juice.... Or better yet educate the manager to explain to the employees on what you actually mean when you say "change shortage" and how to be polite when explaining the company has an issue that needs some sort of accommodation

acai primo
Roya H.

I came in for an Açaí Bowl and the acai bowl was extremely salty, I had to throw it out. I've honestly had better açaí and I'm extremely disappointed. Complete waste of money. If you're craving some Acai, I would not recommend this location. Go to Lark and Owl instead. Other than that Customer Service was great. The girl welcomed me as soon as I walked in which was very kind.

Peach Perfection
Erica B.

Never had a bad juice from this location. They are very clean and nice. Never a long wait. They always have recommendations if you are torn on what to get. I'm obsessed with their peach perfection. Iv had their açaí bowl too. And many of their other juices.

Steel Cut Oatmeal with added Brown Sugar and Almonds
Jack M.

I have always been a fan of Jamba's steel cut oatmeal topped with crumbled up brown sugar and some sort of nuts. In this case, some nice slivered almonds, and for $3 and some change, it is a inexpensive way to start the day (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jamba-juice-san-diego-8?select=N74W-9ZMCzCGU7S8uYIS1g#v0sne1WXav61ZM97h4z7Kw). The steel cut oatmeal was terrific and cooking temp was on the mark with the oats having a chewier texture than more refined oats. Also, coupled with the sweet crumbled brown sugar and crunchy sliced almonds, made for a pleasant flavorful eating experience (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jamba-juice-san-diego-8?select=N74W-9ZMCzCGU7S8uYIS1g#DvO8Z8bZLnu4KiEXAVFmAg). Great oatmeal. The place has no seating inside as others do, specifically the one close to my home, but they do have seating outside on the patio: a patio they seem to share with the Starbucks right across the way. Service was friendly enough and service was quite quick.

Peanut butter chocolate love w/whey
Franco E.

Really friendly staff, quick to make orders and they tasted like they should. Absolute no complaint as far as service and quality goes for a Jamba Juice. It is a smaller location, with no seating available inside while you wait for your order, but there are plenty of seating right outside. They also do military discount at this location, unlike other locations that I've been to.

I've had no issues here over the years, so it gets 5 stars because I like Jamba's products and employees. Smoothies are all personal preference. I come when I'm sick for a Coldbuster -- now being called a Orange C Booster. Things to note about this location: -- horrible parking at this busy strip mall -- tiny store with no bathroom (you can go to Vons, CVS or Great News) -- tiny store with hardly any space to form a line and have people waiting for their orders -- no inside seating, but there are a few seating areas outside (for the other stores too) that would be nice if you want to hang out

Excellent service. A friendly staff. Responsive management. I stopped by today and got my favorite smoothie - Caribbean passion. By the way-Love Thursdays! You get a large for the price of a medium!

Jamba Juice Bowl ... can't recall what I ordered, it was really good!

This is my favorite Jamba Juice. It's a laid back environment, the employees are friendly and free smoothies are always great.

Don't let the name fool you - this place is super authentic and Brazilian run…read more Also, one of the only places where you can get cupuacu in addition to Açaí. Very cool! Definitely recommend.

I only came here a handful of times before my last experience completely turned me off from ever…read morecoming back. I placed an order ahead of time and showed up about 25 minutes later thinking it would be ready. When I checked in, a younger employee told me it would be another 10 minutes. Annoying, but okay. The parking situation around here is already a nightmare, so I really wasn't thrilled about having to stand around waiting even longer. Well, those 10 minutes turned into 25. During that time, I watched multiple people walk in, place orders after I had already checked in, and receive their food before me. The crazy part? It wasn't even busy. There was no line out the door, no rush, no obvious reason for such a ridiculous delay. After waiting long enough, I finally went up to an older gentleman working there (I'm assuming the owner) and politely explained that I had been waiting a very long time and was confused why people ordering after me were getting their food first. Instead of apologizing or even acknowledging the mistake, he was rude, dismissive, and acted like I was inconveniencing him for asking about an order that should have been ready ages ago. Then, after another 10 minutes, my bowls were finally ready. In total, I waited about 35 minutes after checking in for pickup. To top it all off, the older gentleman practically shoved the bowls at me without so much as a "sorry for the wait." Look, delays happen. Mistakes happen. What bothered me was the complete lack of communication, accountability, and basic customer service. If you're running behind, just be honest about it. Don't tell someone 10 minutes when it's really going to be over half an hour. The açaí is good, but not nearly good enough to make up for being treated like an annoyance. There are plenty of other places in San Diego serving great bowls without the attitude.

I stopped by here earlier today with my family for our morning coffee. Whenever we go on vacation,…read morewe try to hit up a new coffee shop every morning, and this morning we ended up heading over to Gold Soul Coffee. This coffee shop is a tiny little drive-through shack right on Morena Blvd. The building here is quite small and seemed to barely fit the single woman working inside. Even under those circumstances, she was nice and patient while my wife ordered an iced brown sugar latte, I ordered a large hot Americano with a splash of cream, and my father-in-law ordered an 8 oz. hot chocolate. Within about five minutes of ordering, we had our drinks and were on our way. My coffee here ended up being excellent, and I tried to yell that to my wife in the back of our minivan. A couple of minutes later, she yelled the same thing forward, obviously not having heard my initial comments. In any case, what made the coffee so good here was that it was both bold and smooth, with a deep, rich flavor. It was good enough that I was curious where she got her beans because the coffee and its flavor were straight-up excellent. As much as I enjoyed my coffee, my wife enjoyed hers as well. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our coffees, and I would certainly like to have more of it.

Adorable drive-up/walk-up coffee shop in Bay Park…read more My friends and I rented an Airbnb nearby for the July 4th weekend and made multiple trips to Gold Soul Coffee for a hit of morning caffeine. I love a well balanced latte of milk, add-ons, and heavy espresso. Extra points of the milk and syrups are made in house. Gold Soul didn't quite hit the mark for me. Their lattes really lean into the sweetness. I even added in additional milk and espresso once we got home. The girl working the booth was an absolute pleasure and I love their cutesy branding. I wouldn't seek this place out on a return trip to SD, but I truly enjoyed the overall vibes!
