    Chocolate Banana Smoothie
    Erika V.

    Wow, I was overjoyed by the service I experienced here! I was welcomed right away and decided to look at the menu. I saw a smoothie option with chocolate and peanut butter and another option with strawberry and banana. I asked if they would be able to make one with banana and chocolate and they happily obliged. It was ready very quickly and the girl even said, "Have a great day, Erika!" It definitely made me smile and made me enjoy the drink that much more. The smoothie was absolutely delicious.

    As good as fresh can be. I have been coming here ever since they closed their location inside Safeway. I like the different smoothies and juice blends. My favorite is the Strawberry surf rider. The fresh ingredients really makes it delicious. For smoothies this is such a healthy place. They are very filling. I mostly come here during the morning before work or if I'm just in the mood for a smoothie. I am hooked and I can't praise Jamba juice enough, I love this place - this one particular location has sensational customer service. Everyone that works here is so welcoming, cheerful and very fast. You won't have to worry about waiting long for your order. Even when t's busy I get my drink in a timely manner. Thank you I will continue to support this location.

    I don't really go to Jamba Juice in San Francisco where I live. I've only been to Jamba Juice a handful of times ever. I thought it was so exciting and new in the 90s when my sister took me in San Diego, but now I don't really care for the chain. The brand is not stale, but it's boring. However, it's nice to get a smoothie here every once in a while because they are good...except you are warned about how much SUGAR is in smoothies. I got the strawberry surfer today and it was a nice treat to end my day at the beach in Santa Cruz with David K.

    Eco-friendly cups

    Best Jamba Juice I have ever been to hands down. The workers are super accommodating and friendly. They use different cups than regular places, eco friendly/ biodegradable. Super cool, the outdoor seating is well kept and very pleased with my drinks quality.

    Pomegranate Bowl

    great Pomegranate Bowl. Great place for an Acai too. The service is friendly too. You can add goji berries too.

    I really enjoy Jamba Juice and especially when there is a deal going on like national smoothie day or emails sent. This place only got 4 stars because of its location. It is sometimes hard to get parking close since it's all meter parking and the parking garage lots aren't too close by since it's near the end on the street. Also the prices have gone way up so not as much for your buck. I recommend signing up for their rewards program to get points for your purchase. 1 point per dollar you spend. Redeem once at 35 points and get $3 off. It's not the greatest deal but at least a discount towards your purchase. The staff here is friendly so recommend this location.

    The smoothies are really good, but this parfait (with peanut butter, granola, & banana slices) was awesome!

I have nut, and fruit allergies that have made it hard to have açaí bowls at other local restaurants but TERRAs menu is clear, ingredients easily listed. Service is always on point, and clean inside. Anything about location I don't think is fair on them, they are located at a weird spot downtown.. they do a great job. Please never change TERRA SUPERFOODS!

I am an…read moreacai bowl fanatic so having the ability to build your own or order one close to him is simply divine. They have a few pre-made suggestions for bowls and you can also build your own. Prices start around $13 for the smallest bowl and makes its way to a larger size that can feed multiple people. I went with their namesake, "The Terra," which was the closest to a traditional acai with healthy nuts/seeds, bananas, strawberries, and almond butter to name a few. My bowl was great and everything tasted fresh and not overly sweet like other acai bowls I've had. I'm also curious in trying their wraps and grain bowls too since they all sound delicious. One small thing we noticed is that they created two of the same bowls but we had each ordered different ones. It wasn't a huge deal since none of us had any particular allergies but make sure to check and see that you got the correct order. Also, it's not Terra's fault but unfortunately, we could smell cigarettes from anyone smoking outside as it seemed to come through some air vents? Hopefully once the area gets more developed that this shouldn't be a problem.

The matcha was really watered down and it tasted very artificial. I didn't try the food, so I can't speak to that. But if you're in a pinch and need a quick coffee or Matcha... This is not the place to go. The staff also seem really rushed or anxious, and not very present with customers. One thing I love about a great coffee. Shop is the way staff engages with their customers. The way they charge. You is also weird. I get the 25% cup fee, but it's $.75 if you want the drink, Iced, and then another dollar for milk substitute. I was just disappointed, and hoping for at least a decent Matcha. I couldn't finish it. It was really bad, tasted very artificially.

Ultimately, we came here because the other one that we wanted to go to down the street had a line into the parking lot. In hindsight, we probably should have just waited. The ice cream here just didn't stand out. It melted too quickly-almost like it wasn't really kept cold cold. The flavors meshed together and didn't really pop and you know something is odd when after going through 4 flavors, the lady up front say, "that's the best", or "that's one of my favorites" to each and every one of them. Getting your order mixed up was also a deduction. I wanted a brownie sundae and because she was out of hot fudge, asked if that could be replaced with caramel. I said yes, but ended up just getting a caramel sundae without the brownies?! Unfortunately I didn't notice until after I sat down with my sundae to which point, I just didn't care enough to get it fixed. The place seemed dingy and confused. With ice cream, but froyo, it could be a bit confusing. Overall, it just didn't seem genuine. There are too many ice cream shops around and to call this one a local and community focused ice cream shop seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

There were 4 types of chocolate available, but no dark chocolate. I opted for a double chocolate fudge brownie milkshake. They didn't have lowfat milk but the worker was friendly and offered to put less milk. Strangely, the shake ended up being on the watery side. It also wasn't quite filled to the top, and even got foamy at the surface. But it was delicious nonetheless.
