I did not have lunch since I was at a Egyptian museum for a couple of hours. And I didn't want to use an Uber to get to my hotel. So I walked there and found a Jamba Juice along the way.
It is pretty cool 2 1/2 mile walk from Park Avenue, San Jose to N. 4th Ave., San Jose, Jamba Juice was a hidden gem I found en route. It was a familiar sight since we have Jamba Juice in Honolulu. I'm on my walk that Sunday afternoon in December 2021, the day after Christmas, I found myself here at this Jamba Juice location because I needed lunch and my stomach was rumbling. It didn't dawn on me to use the Yelp app to find a decent local restaurant that afternoon, but here I was at Jamba Juice. It was a quick and painless solution that provided me with sustainable energy, so I can make it to my hotel for the evening on foot. I arrived here around 2:30pm. The place was virtually empty when I came in and the staff available was in the back for a few minutes before coming out to provide service to its customers. While being a healthy solution to a possibly fast food lifestyle, it was nice to have such a treat during my time here in San Jose. I eventually ordered the medium chocolate moo'd with added strawberries. I also purchased a turkey wrap, which was pretty good, and a pretzel to round out the meal to go. My experience here took about 15 minutes at most, along with a regular customer complimenting on my NJ sweater, thinking I was from NJ, but I'm not. It was interesting, nonetheless. The prices here were almost consistent than what I'd expect back home in Honolulu, although it's a bit more. It's California though. Only thing you get here is pure health and fresh smoothies. Quite nice if you are starting a health kick or sustaining a great lifestyle.
The overall experience here at this Jamba Juice in San Jose, California was short and sweet. The service here was very interesting and funny at the same time. It was nice to have a familiar place to have a quick lunch here, since Jamba Juice brand is all over Hawaii anyway. Jamba Juice is known for its health they were in smoothies, but they also have some not so healthy smoothies, like chocolate and peanut butter, but everything in moderation, right? For me though, I like everything here because it's healthy, easy to drink down, and definitely delicious. It's nice to point out that a Jamba Juice can be a substitute for a meal for people on the go. It's good enough to help sustain people for a few hours before another meal is scheduled to be on tap. My favorite would be the chocolate or peanut butter moo'd combinations currently, but I do like the cold buster or the strawberries wild at one time or another. Some coworkers of mine like piña colada at one point but tastes change over time, it seems. The prices seem to have gone up in recent years, with the medium being at a price point of over seven dollars USD. It is what it is and it seems like it's a sign of the times. It's on point with any other fast food meal that you may have, that is considerably the same amount of money as a Jamba Juice. This Jamba Juice location is very clean and definitely well organized. It was nice to have an empty store, so that I did not have to wait too long for my smoothie at the time. I'll be busy is good, waiting around for an order is not so good.
If you are craving a healthy delicious smoothie and you are in the San Jose area, consider coming to Jamba Juice for your health kick. Definitely a place to have a quick lunch on the goal as well, and it is delicious. This Jamba Juice location is situated at 695 Coleman Avenue in San Jose. The Jamba Juice is a part of the San Jose Market Center shopping mall, which I didn't realize during my time here. I guess I wanted to get to the hotel before dark, so it was a quick transaction here at Jamba Juice. They except major credit cards, as well as cash. But with the current pandemic COVID-19, facemasks into any business is required. As far as parking goes, there is plenty of parking here for your benefit, since it is a shopping mall apparently. I did not know this until Google told me 10 days later while drafting this review. If you decide to come here via public transportation, consider your routes to come here and you'd be all set. For the most part though, it was nice to have something familiar during this trip to San Jose. Not homesick, but familiar. While they're just smoothies, they're something that can brighten your morning or help you with your day, regardless if you're on a health kick or not. Try the chocolate moo'd with strawberries. It's fantastic.
4.0 stars for the overall experience. 4.0 stars for the service and the smoothie. 3.0 stars for the prices.
