    Good luck getting any help with online orders such as a refund when Jamba Juice does not even fulfill your order!!!!! Would also NOT recommend using the Jamba Juice online app either as this business additionally charges a "service fee" just for placing an order via their app. On July 3, 2026, I placed breakfast order via the Jamba Juice app for mobile pickup. I arrived at the store only to find the Santa Monica store CLOSED and LOCKED on July 3, 2026 almost one hour after the store opening time. An employee name Arlene (or Arleen?) arrived a few minutes later and she was locked out as well and trying to phone someone but would take care of processing my refund. I waited one week and called store and was told by another employee that he would take care of processing a refund as I should have received a refund by now. I filed a complaint via Jamba Juice app on July 3, 2026 and Ethan Axtell emailed me on July 10, 2026 instructing me to call corporate 866-GO-JAMBA for refund of online order but corporate then told me that the Santa Monica store is franchised so this particular store has to process a refund. I left voicemail at store requesting that the Santa Monica store manager call me and I never got a call. I went today (July 18, 2026) to the store and spoke with manager Patrick Foti who said that I have to call corporate to process a refund especially for an online order because they don't have the ability to give refunds and he doesn't know why corporate would have told me to go to the store for a refund. Patrick (manager) said that corporate took away their ability to issue refunds to their customers. BEWARE of corporate and this Santa Monica store in particular if you expect any customer service as they will keep your money for food you never received and time wasted! Go to OAKBERRY Santa Monica that is nearby for online orders and no service fees.

    Sidewalks ruined in the name of marketing. Shame. Wilshire and Yale in Santa Monica.

    I really like the product, especially the matcha blast, and the service has been really awesome, too - but I'm shocked their marketing department would allow graffiti on our Santa Monica sidewalks. As if we don't have enough litter and homeless waste to deal with - now we have ugly graffiti as a marketing ploy? No way. I will not be supporting this business any longer.

    Great place to cool off grab ice cold smoothie and other. Frozen treats like an igloo full of zombie Eskimos from the 3rd kind, kinda place or cyber Eskimos of the virtual kind.

    Customer service here has never been top notch but the smoothies get made. Today I was greeted by a completely empty unlocked store. Not sure how long the shop has been sitting there falsely locked without staff. After waiting for a little, what I assume was the manager arrived. He welcomed me with a poor attitude about me being early after he left everything unlocked and unattended. Business wise - it doesn't seem super smart to have different Friday hours from the rest of the work week. Especially when you're the only one in town.

    Couldn't get a refund at all

    I usually go here , today worst experience, smoothie was very watery and wasn't notified that pineapples were missing etc. Poor attention to detail , I couldn't receive a refund and will be contacting customer service/management .

    Jamba Juice now has part of their menu labeled as plant-based (all vegan smoothies!) even though every smoothie can technically be made vegan They also have the impossible handwich which is the impossible sausage with sprouted grain bun and white cheddar (take out the cheese to make it vegan) Place has a bathroom accessible with the key Only one (two seats) table Thanks Jamba!

The cashier signed me up for the "free" trial membership and urged me to get the "free" monthly drink. She asked for the manager's assistance with the process but the manager wasn't helpful at all. He told her to send me to the drink bar. I went to the drink bar and they said they didn't know what I was talking about so I went back to the cashier. The cashier who attended to me was suddenly gone. I asked the new attendant to help me and he grabbed a manager who told me to go back to the drink bar. I again repeated my situation and this young lady just shrugged and told me to wait. I then waited for about 10-15 minutes (way too long) for an awful tasting "tonic". Fool me once, shame on you. Food me twice, shame on me. Never again.

Server seemed put out when it was sent back. Hot matcha (delicious) took longer. Then waited a full 40 minutes for our food, while tables seated after us were getting theirs. Finally, eggs were put on the table cold. Sent them back. Server seemed even more put out. Took at least 10 more minutes for them to be set in front of me again. They were warm. The beans tossed on top of them were not. Bread and salad were boring. The soup was hot and tasty, though. That was the last we saw the server until we requested the check. That took another 10 minutes or so. We had parked right across the street. Coffee, soup and one plate of meh eggs later, we had 16 minutes left on the two-hour meter. Do the math on that quick lunch.

I really enjoyed the beef kabob plate. The salad and tomatoes were super fresh and the meat was cooked and seasoned well. I was expecting to miss having rice, and I somewhat did, but it was still good. The half bowl of fruit was fantastic too, with a good selection and quantity. They tasted fresh and flavorful. Service was good, no complaints and attentive. The only complaint here is the price -- it's just a little much, but that probably is due to the area it is in. Enjoyed it, and would go back, but make sure I'm ready for the bill.

On my first visit, woman at the counter, helped me decide on a smoothie, because there were just so many options! I told her to make it in a way that she loves and it was perfect, and I got the same thing on my second visit! Gentleman at the counter on my second visit was super friendly as well! The tall gentleman making the smoothie seems very chill and relaxed! All-around good vibes here! Even people waiting in the line were friendly on both visits! Overall | Yes, please! I'm already craving another flavorful smoothie as we speak, as the smoothies are fueled with goodness! I'm going to make myself try another flavor with a cute name on my next visit! Let's go!

My lessons learned after a few visits to the salad bar -- choose the smallest container possible (it will still cost LOL), don't come unless you want to wait in a line of hungry corporate business folks between 12-1 (I have seen the line go out the door) -- actually my advice is go early because later on everything is picked over (although the staff are really good about filing the salad bar items). Also everyone who works there is super friendly and super busy!

I also specifically asked about the price and was told it would be $13 per order, consistent with what's listed online. However, when I arrived, I was told the orders would be charged separately, and the employee became visibly frustrated when I asked for clarification and requested that everything be grouped as discussed. What made the situation worse was the pricing. I was charged $15 per order, which didn't match what I was told over the phone, nor what's listed online or even on Yelp (where it shows around $10). When I politely questioned the discrepancy, the employee became argumentative and made the interaction uncomfortable.
