Jamba has become one of my favorite places to stop when I am looking for something quick, refreshing, and a little healthier than my usual cravings. Whenever I am in the mood for a smoothie, it is almost always one of my first choices. This visit, I decided to branch out from my usual smoothie order and try some of the food, and I was pleasantly surprised. The highlight of my meal was the Coconut Whip Strawberry Blueberry Waffle Bowl, and it completely lived up to the hype. At around $9 to $10, it is a little more expensive than a traditional breakfast, but it is absolutely worth it. The coconut whip was smooth, creamy, and refreshing without being overly sweet. The fresh strawberries and blueberries added the perfect amount of natural sweetness, and the waffle pieces gave the bowl a satisfying texture. Everything came together beautifully, making it feel like a dessert you could enjoy for breakfast without the guilt. I will definitely be ordering this again. I also tried the Mozzarella Bites, which were about $6 to $7. They were crispy on the outside with plenty of melted cheese inside. They were served hot and made for a great savory snack alongside the sweeter waffle bowl. They reminded me of elevated mozzarella sticks with a lighter breading that let the cheese shine. The Chicken Empanadas, priced around $5 to $6, were another pleasant surprise. The flaky pastry had a nice golden crust, and the filling was well seasoned with tender chicken in every bite. They were satisfying without feeling overly heavy and paired nicely with the rest of the meal. What I appreciate about Jamba is that it has evolved beyond being just a smoothie shop. The expanded food menu makes it easy to stop in for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack without sacrificing quality. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were satisfying, and everything complemented the healthier vibe that Jamba is known for. Overall rating: 9.5/10. I came expecting a great smoothie experience, but I left impressed by the food. The Coconut Whip Strawberry Blueberry Waffle Bowl was the clear winner and is something I will absolutely order again. read more

There wasn't much breakfast options at 6:45am at Washington Union Station. Discovering that Jamba Juice and McDonald's were the only viable options available before I had to board a train out of DC. The Jamba Juice experience here at Union station DC included a homeless person that was in line ahead of me. Thankfully, he wasn't causing problems and had money to pay for his food. The entire experience that morning took me about 15 minutes from ordering and pick up. I normally don't do smoothies, but it was healthy enough and didn't want to be rushed before heading out on Amtrak. The staff here was good and friendly. I ended up getting a large orange C booster since I was dealing with a cold, but traveling anyway. For the most part, though, it was a quick and easy breakfast solution for that cold March 26 morning. Jamba Juice is a quick meal solution that is an alternative to Starbucks and any fast food restaurant. It just happens that they were here at Union Station before I had to board the train out of here. It was nice that they were here when they needed it and at 7 AM in the morning. I enjoyed the ambience while being quickly served and I was on my way. It was nice to hear the sound of blenders blending to smoothies because we have Jamba Juice in Honolulu Hawaii as well. So it was a familiar sound of my daily life when I'm not traveling. My favorite smoothie would have to be the strawberries wild and the peanut butter moo'd. But lately, I've been drinking the orange C booster because I was traveling with symptoms of a lingering cold, which seems to be improving with each passing day. Plus, it's a nice way to have breakfast without eating alot of carbohydrates in the morning. The overall experience here at this Jamba Juice location in Washington Union station was typical and refreshing for the crowd and the idea of taking a train versus a flight out of Washington DC. The restaurant itself was basically standing room only. I didn't see any seating available for customers to sit down and enjoy their food and smoothies. No air conditioning that was felt that morning since I didn't really have time to feel anything that morning. Just got in and out of there with my order and was feeling just fine. This Jamba Juice location is directly next to the train departure queues, so you could get your food and drinks about 15 minutes prior to departure and still would have made it. Best bet would be to grab your food and drinks with ample time before the train pulls into the station so you don't have to rush your purchase and experience here at Jamba Juice, if you can help it. The prices here are pretty reasonable and they offer the 3 typical sizes: small, medium, and large. The large was close to $10, which wasn't that bad actually. They have a nice selection of flavors. You can also mix flavors and add ingredients for an additional cost. Overall, I can't complain too much. It was nice to see Jamba Juice in the heart of Washington DC. It was a familiar sight while I was traveling around the eastern seaboard in March 2026. It's definitely healthy compared to other options out there. I would definitely recommend getting Jamba Juice here at Washington Union station, whether you are arriving or departing. It's a delicious way to welcome you to Washington DC. This Jamba Juice location is physically At Washington Union Amtrak station. It serves the community and the travelers who commute by transnational buses and Amtrak. It's physically located at 50 Massachusetts Avenue NE in the heart of Washington DC. I think Union Station is accessible for anyone and anyone, so you can grab your Jamba Juice on any given day. Only those who have confirmed train tickets can board the Amtrak trains, but buying Jamba Juice here is available for anyone, which is definitely nice when Union station is open for business. I'm sure that there is parking for people who commute by car, so there's normally a parking area nearby. For me, though, I arrived here via Uber and departed via Amtrak. And of course, there's Uber and Lyft for those of yall who need those ride share services. There's always riding the Fairfax county connector bus services if staying in Alexandria or northern Virginia. And the various metro lines that connect DC from DVM triangle area. Using these various metro lines to get you to Union Station and that freshly made Jamba Juice is a great way to spend the morning. With that in mind, this Jamba Juice location is a great place for your morning. A happy place to jumpstart your morning by having a healthy smoothie for your day ahead. Whether it starts in DC or somewhere along the Amtrak line, you'll be better off for it. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+ read more

This location was at union station and figured I would try this out while waiting. I got the Mango A-Go-Go. It was just ok, and kind of watered down and not much flavor to it. However my order did arrive quick. I probably would not go back and look for other alternatives. read more

The Union Square Jamba Juice is pretty much what you'd expect from a typical location, though my experience here was disappointing. I ordered a smoothie bowl, and the texture was off--it came out soupy, almost like they didn't add enough ice. The bananas and strawberries were cold as expected, but the consistency felt more like a smoothie poured into a bowl rather than the thicker, more substantial texture I'm used to. I've had much better experiences at the Penn Station location, where the bowls are thicker and even come with toasted coconut toppings--something this Union Square spot didn't offer at all. The store itself was quiet when I visited, yet the staff seemed frantic and a bit disorganized, which was surprising since there wasn't a crowd. The limited toppings and lack of attention to detail made this location feel underserved, and it didn't live up to the standard I associate with Jamba Juice. If it weren't for the brand's name recognition, I'm not sure this spot would get much traffic. It's a basic experience, but it falls short of what Jamba Juice should be. read more

I visited this location on Sunday, 02-25-24. I ordered a small mango-a-gogo for breakfast before leaving the city. There was only one young lady working; there were two people ahead of me, but as she was pleasant and kept the line moving. My smoothie was so good, I almost forgot to take a picture. Sure I'll be stopping by again the next time I'm in Union Station. read more

Upon entering you're greeted. The AC and ventilation is off and on here. Sometimes it feels amazing here with a good amount of free flowing fresh & cool air. But a few times it has been humid. Either way it was worth it. The employees are very friendly as well as highly social. They're always smiling and happy which is a major plus. Also the smoothies have always tasted amazing. They're usually thick which is a plus. Watered down smoothies are terrible because they taste very liquified. When it's thick it means they used a good amount of fruit to make it which is very good. The overall environment was very clean and organized. I've noticed after they make the smoothies they put the blender containers in the sink to wash which is a major plus. So many smoothie places cut corners these days by not rinsing in-between orders. Here they actually do the right thing which is good. The pricing is a little high but their smoothies are very addictive. Lol.... Plus it's healthy. The general crowd is mainly adults. Mainly middle to high class. The noise level is normal for a smoothie place. Quiet and relaxed besides the blenders. Overall. A++++ read more

Jamba Juice meets expectations when it comes to train station food. The lady working the shift all by herself deserves 5/5 stars for being fast and organized when the line of people built up quickly. I ordered the kids smoothie and the Impossible Handwich (made with soy "meat" sausage). The blueberry and strawberry kids' smoothie was perfect size for me as an adult! And the little breakfast sandwich was very tasty. I am happy for this food option at Union Station, and it will keep me full on the train. read more

I went here for the first time on a Friday afternoon before I got on the train. I decided on an Açaí bowl. The presentation was beautiful. I waited to eat it until I was on the train. It was ready good. The fruit was nice and fresh and the portions were very generous. I would definitely order from here again the next time I'm at Union Station. The service was also good. read more

I have bought and made smoothies before, but I was curious enough to try a Jamba Juice bowl. After a four-hour train ride, I needed to refuel and figured it was a great opportunity to give Jamba a shot. The acai primo bowl was EVERYTHING. It was fresh, cool (perfect for summer-like temperatures), nutritious, delicious, and energy-boosting. I highly recommend and plan to try the other bowls and even the smoothies that they offer, Yummy! read more

As a former Jamba Juice employee, I can attest to the freshness and flavor of their offerings. Their wide variety of smoothies caters to all tastes. If you have never tried Jamba Juice, I highly recommend it. My only wish is for more locations in DC. Great spot for a healthy treat! read more

Just okay. A quick place to get a smoothie. It's quick, a bit expensive, and an all around okay smoothie

I'm a huge fan of Jamba Juice from their juices to smoothies so I was super excited when I recently started working in DC & that there was one mid way of my commute. The products are great which is why I did give this place the two stars that I did however there are quite a few problems. 1. Customer Service: Everyone here (I've been here multiple times) rushing you through even when there aren't any lines. Today I went and while I was trying to order my smoothie the girl taking my order cut me off four times to address other people working there. 2. Does not accept the Yelp Check in Offer even though this is the correct location. I have tried two times just out of curiosity before adding this. All the workers here state that they don't offer any discounts or offers and they don't understand why Yelp keeps doing this. Overall, it's false advertisement & they won't do anything about it. 3. Messy! Each time I've received my smoothie it's been dripping on the side & handed to me that way where I had to wipe it down with napkins. Or a few times I've ordered a small & was given a bigger size (not really complaining) but it definitely shows their lack of detail. This is in a great location and Jamba Juice is always good in my book but they have quite a few things to work on. read more

*warning* Yelp users they do not except the Yelp check-in offer. But that isn't the reason for the low stars. I got the matcha green tea blast and it just wasn't that great in my opinion. Don't get me wrong it taste like matcha, but because it's mixed with yogurt it taste milky which would be okay if it didn't dilute the flavor so much. Since the only strong flavor is the matcha all the other milky flavors kinda make it flat. Not worth the $7. Also my cup wasn't all he way full so I was a little irritated about that as well. I was only irritated because it wasn't that great so you could at least given me a full cup. I've had their other smoothies and they are pretty good. So that's why the rating isn't so low. This place is busy off and on so just be advised if you come during peak hours there might be a little wait. I will admit the Yelp offer Drew me in but I usually like Jamba juice. It was a a disappointment that the offer wasn't valid. But I sent a message to Yelp hoping they will take it down. The cashier also says that they tried to take it down as well with no luck. read more

Yes Union Station is not for the faint of heart but there are some hidden gems, one of which is the new and improved Jamba. So erased the Juice from the name and added Açaí bowls to the menu. I won't say that I am an Açaí snob but I profess to be a connoisseur. And at this point in my journey, it's anything but Robek's. The Jamba bowls are on the small side and they are the stars of the menu but they hold their own easy. I hate that I don't like fresh fruit on top because customizing isn't the easiest thing to do here but I do it, slightly. I get my bowl without strawberries, blueberries and bananas, adding goji berries. With goji berries, honey, granola and coconut flakes I think I found a really good açaí bowl for when I'm not at South Block, shout out to South Block. Service is always cool and I like the news stuff jumping off so big-ups to Jamba. read more

It's inside the very nice Union Station. I've not visited a Jamba Juice before so now's my chance. The menu is very specialized, if course, it the plant based looks no beuno for this surf & turf guy. However I like a good smoothie as much as the next guy so here we go with a pb banana chocolate love and It's a darn good smoothie at the price I expected, hey the bottles of beer are $7.25 on the train so there's that:-) My sweetheart is feeling a little funky and thinks it could be a drop in potassium doe to the one blood pressure maintainer she's taking so a big ol' pb banana prorien smoothie for her to bring back to the lounge. The young lady who took my order was very professional and seemed to know her stuff and the smoothie maker was a whizz. The other young lady who served my smoothies however put both of them up on a very sticky domirty counter, not cool -1 star. The are behind the counter could use a little cleaning but they are really busy and they'te cranking out product so giving a pass. Bottom line: the smoothies here are as good as the ones I make for myself. The selection is good and the don't have you wait. All good!! read more

This is a pretty nice Jamba Juice in the Union Station, nice pit stop after a long trip to DC. I had the matcha (green tea) smoothie and enjoyed it v much!

Juices and smoothies here was reallllllly delicious. What you have to watch out for is the sugar. Most are packed with tasty but sweet fruits like mango, banana, and pineapple some mixed with sorbet or yogurt. If youre looking for something healthy go with one of their green juices and substitute some of the sweet fruits for more greens. read more

The juice and smoothies were good and what you expect from Jamba Juice (we visited this particular location twice in 24 hours). I thoroughly enjoyed the matcha almond milk smoothie (minus the matcha) which consisted of dates, kale and bananas. The super unfriendly service is why I'm giving it three stars. It's not cool to walk up to a counter to place an order only to feel as if you are inconveniencing the staff with your presence. (Date of visit 1/3/15 early afternoon) read more

Greeted by a lively exterior, I enter the stall with strong anticipation as I have a great adviser, a yelper, who urge me to try. I did and I fell in love with the fresh juices. I had a few tries mostly a carrot-apple combi as I am so convinced that the duo makes a perfect match in my entire life. It sure is until now, undoubtedly. The service has been gracious and fast. I will be back again when I revisit the country. read more

It was hard to find this place esp when I didn't know it was in Union station I called to ask but she only gave me a street and my iPhone was giving me bad directions after 30 minutes of walking in the cold we were finally here Love all the energy bowls I always get the mango one they have deals all the time if you text there number I also like the cheesy pretzel ! read more

Jamba - Delicious ! And healthy - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Not OK. I figured I would have time to grab a juice before my bus departed... But I took a really long time for someone to take my order and then it another 15 to make my juice bc they kept skipping me on accident. I don't think it should take 20 minutes to take an order and get a juice.... Normally I wouldn't mind--- but there were 8 people behind the counter and being at a bus/train station-- there didn't seem to be any sense of urgency. By the time they started on my drink--- she threw some greens and a bunch of ice in a blender-- it was 50% foam which I threw out. I paid almost 8 dollars for nothing. Waste of time and money-- not a happy camper. read more

I'm shocked that I even have to write this. After glowing initial reports of the energy bowls, during my past two visits I've gotten pretty skimpy bowls. There was barely any actual fruit in my most recent bowl. Maybe I was spoiled by the hearty portions when the energy bowls were first introduced, but if this is the "actual" size of a 16 oz bowl, then this definitely not enough for any lunch and is also DEFINITELY not worth the $8 price. Don't believe me? See my photos for a comparison. read more

Definitely prefer Smoothie King, the smoothie I had from Jamba was oranges and carrots ( I forget their specific name ) because they were out of kale so I couldn't get the smoothie I initially wanted. The carrot and orange smoothie sounded like a good idea, but what I was served was lackluster in flavor and tasted more like a poorly flavored Slurpee than a smoothie. But it is convenient for a somewhat healthy and reasonably priced snack at Union Station. read more

This jamba juice is set up in the best way it can be in Union Station. The refrigerated juice section is always empty and the vendor shelves are sparce. The employees are young, but vibrant. They always greet customers, even the ones that just walk through the establishment to get ro their train. I've come everyday for a week. Because if the timing the same person has accommodated me. She suggested the best selling juices and I enjoyed her recommendations. The wheatgrass shot has been my go-to and the Greens n' Ginger smoothie to get in my fruits and veggies. They are fairly quick. Interviews are conducted in the back where the seats are located. read more

Jamba - Wheatgrass shot - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Skip the always-ridiculous line at Starbucks down the hall and hit up Jamba Juice for a yummier and healthier (and faster) alternative. This location has all the regular options you know and love at other Jamba stores. A little Kona boost or wheatgrass shot - you can have it here. I've been here a few times (my favorite - the Pomegranate Pick-Me-Up) and the staff keeps things moving along here at a relatively quick pace. However, in attempts to be quick, sometimes there can be a little messiness involved - my smoothie yesterday was dripping all down the sides and coming out of the top, and the smoothie-maker didn't do anything to wipe it down - just stuck it inside another paper cup (a bit wasteful, in my opinion) - and it still continued to drip all over my hands. Not a huge deal, but it keeps this location at 3 stars. read more

Let me first say, I love Jamba Juice. Just not this location. And it all comes down to the staff. I ordered a large smoothie before an early morning train ride from Union Station. When the guy filled up the cup, it came up about two inches short - about the size of a regular. He was happy with that and was putting on the lid when I pointed out to him that he shorted me by a good amount. Clearly, this pissed him off. He wordlessly made another batch to fill up my cup and ever since then he has recognized me and shot me a glare other times I've been in there. Oh, and this guy is the manager. Could these people care any less? Nope. (I realize by writing this review I am running the risk of him spitting in my smoothie if I stop in again. Maybe I won't.) read more

I've heard amazing things about Jamba Juice as a company but I cannot say that I was the least bit impressed with my experience. Being a first timer, I felt like the assembly-line service was very impersonal. The first thing you see when you walk in is a rope indicating the line and the menu. That didn't leave very much room for me to inquire or ask questions about the menu and my options. There's also not a lot of time to make up your mind. The ordering line moved too quickly for me to hop in it without knowing what I wanted. I'd only be holding everyone else up. But at the same time, I couldn't really ask any menu questions without getting in line. It just wasn't a good look in my opinion. Okay so I go ahead and order the dang on smoothies and wait for them to be made. Instead of going by orders, they send each individual smoothie ticket down the assembly line. Somehow, the smoothies end up not being together (not really sure that happens though since they are all on the same ticket) And each time one of my orders was up, they'd scream my name really loud. I had 3 different smoothies and found this part extremely annoying. Why not put all my smoothies together and make them all at the same time then scream my name once? Would that have been too much to ask? Finally, the taste test. It certainly wasn't worth the price. I paid $20 for 3 smoothies and I didn't like the consistency of mine. It was way too loose. The flavor was okay. But nothing I'd go gaga over. All in all, there is absolutely nothing special about this experience and I won't be coming back. read more

The last visit I made to this post of Jamba Juice was on the 1st of August, 2012. It seemed that the level of cheer was still in full effect... "Welcome to Jamba!!" followed by "WELCOME TO JAMBA!" and then topped-off by yet another "Welcome to Jamba!!!1" Over the course of about three weeks, the employees have picked up speed and accuracy. One exception: Despite having more than enough employees, they're still pretty slow when it's busy. Side note: I still don't like the paper cups over the standard Styrofoam ones. read more

Overpriced and inconsistent. I have stopped here numerous times on my way home and this time will be the last. Their smoothies are always inconsistent and taste horrible. $7 for crap that I just took one sip and threw in the trash immediately. I didn't bother taking it back because it took 15 mins to get this one and didn't want to spend another 15 mins listening to 5 blenders and screaming teenagers (the employees). I have never seen a single manager in this joint. The only thing that is consistent about this place is that the cashiers are always rude. Get an Odwala juice instead. read more

I really, really wanted to like Jamba Juice. I really did. But the fact of the matter is that there is no such thing as a corporation or chain that operates in commerce that sells whole, living foods. If you want a healthy smoothie made from whole, organic fruit you will have to make it yourself. Jamba Juice uses a combination of frozen fruit, puree, soy milk (which is toxic), pasteurized greek yogurt, etc., none of which are whole foods, i.e. that has been unprocessed and have not had the vital enzymes and nutrients removed in order to maintain shelf life. Also, the majority of restaurants (including those five star restaurants) use non-food products that they get from Sysco. No, acai powder is not good for you. It has been stripped. The acai BERRY in its natural form has health benefits IF it has been grown in nutrient rich soil. Jamba juice, like Panera bread and most others use "enriched" flour in their baked goods. I've had the parmesan pretzel and it was terrible, but the knowledge that the nutrients were stripped from the product for shelf life and then chemicals disguised as nutrients were added in is deceptive. Not sure how many more reviews I will be posting as eating out is not something I want to do any longer. Bottom line? Grow your own, make your own and eat less. You'll live considerably longer. read more

Jamba Juice is a great healthy option as an alternative for a meal, or just a great drink to have on a hot summer day--which is why I felt I needed a Jamba Juice.
