    This Jamba has become our neighborhood go-to for a reason because it's quick, friendly, and always delivers exactly what we need, whether it's a refreshing pick-me-up or a family immunity boost. Located conveniently in Kearny Mesa, it's perfect for those errand-running days when you need something fast, healthy, and satisfying. Our house favorite is the Strawberry Surfrider--tart, sweet, and so refreshing, especially with extra strawberries. It's the kind of treat that even our little ones look forward to, and it gives me peace of mind knowing we're getting a little vitamin boost too. We've also tried the waffles, wheatgrass shots, and their chocolate milk. Everything is consistently good. The staff here deserves a shoutout because they're always upbeat, efficient, and attentive. Even when it's busy, they get through the line quickly and still take the time to get custom orders right. They never skimp on ingredients and the drinks are blended perfectly every time. The store is clean, bright, and well-stocked. If you're in the area and craving something refreshing that actually feels good for your body, this Jamba won't let you down.

    Every visit the staff is extremely friendly, the restaurant is clean, to include the bathrooms. I have never had a problem with my orders being the right way and the staff will always make a recommendation of a good smoothie.

    Holiday promo: $5 reward card when you buy gifts cards.

    We occasionally visit this Jamba Juice location when we happen to be in the area. I wish I could just order off the app, but unfortunately my favorite drink is old school and not on the app. Pomegranate Pick me up, absolute fav! When I order here the young'uns sometimes look at me like what are you ordering and start looking around. No... it's not on your current menu, but yes you can still make it! Thankfully usually a manager is there or someone who knows what I'm ordering. During the holidays they had this promotion where you earn $5 reward cards for purchasing first cards in $25 amounts. Cool! You earn points for the gift card purchase and get a reward too! Win win! :) The store itself is a good size, always clean, but the parking lot is horrendous! Staff is friendly and Thankfully the wait is not long here!

    Pretty quiet compared to other locations, not as much traffic. Nice staff, clean store. Good drinks! Highly recommend the cranberry pomegranate with coconut whip while it lasts!

    PB & Banana Protein
    Jackie T.

    Came here this morning before work and got probably the best customer service. The young man behind the counter was super sweet, especially since it was so early in the morning (7am). I ordered the PB & Banana Protein. One of my favorites. I was in and out of there in less than 5 mins. He was fast and sweet. Thanks Jamba Juice for a great start to my day.

    "Man, we should have ditched that RV months ago. It's all like shiny up in here." -Jesse Pinkman No, I know Jamba wasn't started in a RV... but my point is that, "It is like all shiny up in this place!" This brand new Jamba opened around beginning of the new year January 2022. For me, it's a nice addition to the area because the location in Mission Valley closed (was a few doors from Einstein Bros Bagels). I mean who doesn't like a smoothie or acai once in a while? Menu is pretty much the same. Looks like they just upgraded the aesthetics of their menu display. I ordered one of my favorites... Peanut Butter Moo'd. Still delicious! As far as seating, it looks like they could squeeze a few more tables and chairs in here. I count 3 tables and bar style seating with 3 chairs. It could be they are limiting seating due to COVID though. One thing I noticed and liked immediately is that the tables have outlets including USB charging! Great for students or people that want to do some work outside of home. Didn't see any outlets at the bar style seating though. The service here is good. The gal behind the counter was friendly. The guy that made and served up our smoothies was nice as well. Only negative about this Jamba is the parking at this shopping center is not very good at peak times. And spaces are small so sometimes people purposely take up two spots or do so inadvertently. 4 / 5 - Smoothies 4 / 5 - Service 4 / 5 - Cleanliness 4 / 5 - Atmosphere 4 / 5 - Overall

    A new Jamba Juice next to Ross on Mercury in Kearny Mesa. I've been wanting to try their Bold N Cold Brew with a Sweet Cloud Whip. It was tasty, perhaps a little sweeter than I would of liked, but still quite good. The cold brew itself was very good. It flavorful and smooth. They do put a lot of ice in the beverage, so if you are not into that, you may want to have them reduce the amount. The young lady at the counter was very nice. This location offer nice seating inside, but no outside seating yet. That would be a nice addition.

    Small pumpkin smash

    This Jamba Juice is located in a small plaza and has a decent amount of parking! The lot does fill up on busy days but it's not too crowded to where you can't find parking. This location is very clean and spacious. There's a decent amount of tables inside and staff is very friendly! I love Jamba Juice but their prices have dramatically increased and their sizes are just getting smaller and smaller. I ordered a small Pumpkin Smash (seasonal drink) and paid about $5 using my $3 coupon from the app. If I were to pay full price, it would have been about $8 for a small smoothie that wasn't even filled to the top! Sadly, this is not the only location I've been to that does this. Despite the drink not being filled to the top, I enjoyed the Pumpkin Smash flavor! This drink tasted like a Pumpkin Spice smoothie. It wasn't too milky to be a milkshake which is why it tasted like a smoothie! It had the perfect amount of sweetness and I definitely wanted more! I definitely recommend trying this flavor before it's gone since it is a seasonal drink!

    Terrance is a real nice professional gentleman he immediately took action and defused a situation that was escalating drastically! Couldn't ask for a better employee to take care of everything and the drinks he made came out 10/10 ! Definitely would come back !

    Delicious smoothies, quick and friendly service at a great price. I will definitely go back there.

    Smooth Talkin' Mango
    Queen S.

    Great staff, greeted upon entry. The cashier was extremely friendly. Cleaner location than some Jamba juices especially college grove and Chula Vista on H streets. This location is located in Kearny Mesa next to dollar tree and Ross.The mango a go go is temporarily unavailable. However the plant based watermelon breeze and smoothe talkin mango are delicious. I get them both with soy vanilla it adds an extra level of creaminess. Parking can be a nightmare at this location due to several business in this particular plaza.

    Natalie B.

    I will always recommend Jamba but especially California Jamba. It's my favorite, no flavor is bad. Love adding daily vitamins and energy boosts, love trying the seasonal flavors!

    I started coming here more often and the service is always amazing and smoothies and bowls tasty!…read moreThe manager/owner of this place is a really sweet guy and prioritizes customers when it comes to the business. I can tell he tries to remember every face that comes in and he was kind enough to remedy the situation today when I was waiting for it and one of the other workers didn't know it was for me and put it in the fridge. I will continue coming back to support this business! They are consistent with their bowls and smoothies too which is great!

    Everbowl -- Loma Portal, San Diego…read more Back in my natural habitat. Ordered the Large PB Everbowl because confidence was high and hunger was higher. Respectfully... the large fought back. Let's start with the good. Flavor? Solid. Peanut butter showed up like a starter, not a bench player. Ingredients were fresh, clean, and legit. Now the audit. The ratios on the large made mixing feel like a CrossFit session. I was excavating toppings only to discover a thick reserve of untouched açaí at the bottom. Structurally ambitious. Practically challenging. Professional recommendation: Order the medium. Better balance. Better blend. Less archaeological digging. The base leaned a little heavy for my personal preference -- not bad, just dense. Some people like that. I prefer flow. Now... the headline. The Staff!! 6/5. I don't hand those out casually. Friendly. Fast. Honest. Elite banter. The kind of service that makes you want to become a regular immediately. Would I go back? For the bowl? Yes. For the staff? Immediately. Rating 3.8 / 5 Açaí Berries Breakdown Taste: 4/5 Ingredients: 4/5 Ratios: 3/5 Service: 6/5 Vibes: 5/5 Current Status: Medium over Large Lesson Learned: Size matters. Mix wisely. -- The Açaí Guy

    Yum! I don't think I've ever had a "pure" açaí bowl before (usually mixed with blueberries,…read morestrawberries, etc.), but I'm a big fan now. This little store is inside the Bakeshop by Coco Playa so the sign is hard to spot. They sell açaí bowls (in a cup) and smoothies + Brazilian cheese bread :) The acai is smooth and creamy, and I liked how it was sweet (honey added) and didn't melt very quickly. Super tasty! They do a good job layering on the toppings and making the cup look pretty. There's an option to do half acai and half coconut sorbet; the sorbet was super sweet and packed a punch of coconut flavor-- so good and refreshing! The blueberries seemed thawed from frozen so some of them were still frosty but they were still sweet. MT really enjoyed the pistachio butter too. They did away with their Tuesday special of unlimited toppings, but now you get unlimited regular toppings everyday with regular+ sizes. Premium options (like protein powder, pistachio butter, almond butter, goji berries, etc) come with an additional cost. Definitely pricey but a special, fun, and tasty treat! We enjoyed Açaí Carioca so much we went 3 times in a week! This location has better parking (a shopping plaza lot), was less busy, friendlier service, and had a few seats outside compared to their other location. If you're craving a refreshing and somewhat healthy treat, check this place out!

    They changed their menu, and now they have "unlimited toppings" every day instead of just Tuesdays,…read morebut many of the topping options are a "premium" upcharge (which I don't love) but at least now I can go whenever I feel like instead of timing my visit specifically for Tuesdays. Prices can really stack up though, so I just stick to the basic toppings. I got a half acai/half coconut sorbet cup with all the fruits and coconut shavings. It's SO good, I highly recommend the coconut sorbet to any coconut fan! The texture and flavor of real açaí here is so amazing, completely a different experience from any of the other açaí places. That makes this my favorite açaí spot I've tried so far in San Diego. The Brazilian bread is super addicting as well!

Just like a yogurt place pick a size pick a bade and add your toppings. I recommend to add the Leite Ninho, which is a milk powder. Sounds weird to add that but it's a good addition.

    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.

Perfectly blended, beautifully topped, and every bite was pure refreshment. You can taste the quality in every spoonful. But what really made our visit special was Ashlyn. She greeted us with the warmest smile, took genuine interest in what we were craving, and crafted our bowls with such care and attention--you could literally feel the love she put into it. She made my son feel like the most important customer in the place, and that kind of service is rare these days. Oh, and we can't forget to mention their gorgeous "Instagrammable" wall! We had so much fun snapping photos with our colorful bowls against the vibrant backdrop. It's clear they've thought of everything--amazing food, incredible service, AND a space that just makes you happy to be there. Whether you're a fellow acai addict, looking for your next profile pic backdrop, or just need a healthy, feel-good treat, this is your spot. Already planning our next visit!
