    the inside of a fast food restaurant
    Cristina B.

    This store is located in the same shopping center as the Arrive apartments in Linda Vista. I frequent this Jamba location the most. My husband ritually gets a strawberry surf rider and I will usually get a pink star, but sometimes I rotate between a PB moo'd or white gummi. We'll also get the cheddar tomato twists from time to time and typically don't have issues with quality. Sometimes our drinks will be off, but that will usually only happen when we order through UberEats. I think the only issue I ever have is the lack of customer service. Sometimes the staff are very friendly, but most times the staff are robotic and non-responsive. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with COVID-19 or job turnover, but it reflects my 4-star rating; I would drop it to a 3-star rating if the quality of the drinks/food were consistently inconsistent. Overall, my husband and I will continue to frequent this location.

    I frequent here since I live down the street. Ordered via Door Dash on 11/23/22 and my smoothie was missing 1/4 the amount. I called the store and all I got was- "oops, sorry". This isn't an "oops" this is pure laziness on staff and your laziness has cost me money which I do not appreciate. I used to work at JJ and have 15 years FB service. I get it we have bad days but you guys are literally stealing. Management and staff need retraining

    Steel Cut Oatmeal with Coconut and Brown Sugar
    Jack M.

    Although they did not have some fresh coffee available, they do make some great steal cut oatmeal with a choice of toppings. For my oatmeal, I topped it with brown sugar crumble, shaved coconut, and some clover honey. The oatmeal was well cooked and tasted quite good. It arrived piping hot and came topped with a moderate amount of coconut and brown sugar. Both were very tasty with the oatmeal and so was the honey, but it definitely needed more of it, that tasty clover honey that is. For being early in the morning, the employees were in good spirits, but I would not mind if they would not hold back on those oatmeal toppings. The place sports limited inside seating and was quite clean.

    "Fresh squeezed" Orange juice

    I ordered two large "fresh squeezed" orange juices which was $15. I got home and gagged when I took a sip. It was thick, sour and nothing like what orange juice is supposed to taste like... I have ordered orange juice before and this was not it. I called to ask for an exchange or refund or something, nobody answered, I left a voicemail but never got called back. Just don't order this. Apart from that... the cashier who also made my order was very unwelcoming. Ashton I believe was her name. When I asked for the fresh squeezed juice she rolled her eyes. I asked if there was a problem and she said they were getting ready to close and had already cleaned up. It was 6, I thought they closed at 8, at least it's what it said online. But regardless I said if it's too much trouble not to worry about it. She said it will take ten minutes & made it... Like if you aren't in the mood, it's fine. I understand. I would have rather gone home with nothing than end up with whatever she made that was not what I ordered. Money down the drain.

    This Jamba is kinda like that Jamba. Good place to grab a snack near the trolley stop. Boost!!1!!!

    Just stopped in for a smoothie. My go to is the strawberries wild, nothing special just a nice fruit smoothie. I don't know all of the other stuff they offer because I get the same stuff every time. Two ladies in there this morning both seem pretty friendly, got my drink within 2 to 3 minutes after ordering. 9:30 AM on Friday. For a large smoothie price a little under six bucks for what I ordered. They are having a special now for the holiday season, if you buy a gift card for $25 you can get two small smoothies for free which seems to be a pretty good deal.

    Prefacing with - I don't really eat Acai Bowls, it feels like just a thick smoothie with some…read moretoppings but I cannot deny that Juice Wave changed my perspective completely and I understand the hype. You can't really beat the refreshing taste of fresh fruit and nutty granola and butter. Especially when you can take this delectable bowl to the beach and just vibe in the sand. Wave Bowl $16 (14.50+1.50): 5/5 The bowl itself looks fairly small like, but deceptively so since I was stuffed after eating the whole thing for breakfast. It is higher cost than I would usually spend but I don't eat açaí bowls to know the average. Personally I really liked that the toppings were at the bottom and the bases were on top, not just because it was a beautiful display but because sometimes when it is the opposite, it can quickly get messy with toppings falling and dropping. The granola was crunchy and the add-on nut butter ($1.50) was plentiful and contrasted well to the fruits. You get some finely diced strawberries and bananas that were just the right amount of ripe, the bananas a little more firm but definitely preferred with the bases. The pineapple spirulina was favorite as it had a good sweetness to it. Honestly wished I could get a bowl with just this as a base and of course the natural blue color is just so unique. Coconut was coconutty and the pitaya was brightly colored, not too much distinctive taste on this one. Peak San Diego Experience

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

I called yesterday and they told me he had already left for the day, and I called this morning and after a bit I was able to get ahold of him. He kept interrupting me while I was trying to explain to him what actually happened. He was rude and condescending during the call. I explained to him that when I tried to exchange the mango smoothies for an actual agua Fresca that I had actually initially ordered and paid for, that his employee took them and refunded me before he explained to me that he was going to refund me. I was trying to exchange 2 of the 3 I had bought and paid for. But the employee took them and tossed them into the trash behind the counter before he told me he wouldn't sell me anything else and kicked me out. At the same time, my son was outside with the drink he decided to keep and we didn't try to exchange. When the employee kicked me out I told him I was trying to buy others, but he wouldn't let me, told me to get out, so I left and told him I'd be leaving a review. For some reason he refunded me all 3 aguas ($15). I never asked for any of that, he just did it. It seemed that the owner and the employee both had an issue with the fact that my son kept the drink that he had outside. I'm really not sure what they expected me to do after I was kicked out. Did they want me to take it from him and throw it away? This has all been a very strange set of interactions. Luckily Señor Mangos and Anakin's aren't too far away. I can head there and order sugarless agua frescas and have never had an issue the dozens of times we've been there, either with the service of the taste. They are delicious and always so kind. If I were you, I'd steer clear of this place and go elsewhere.

For this reason I will now coming to this location more often. I ordered Tropical Cooler it took pictures of the menu so you can see all the ingredients and I added carrots for my heath and it tasted very good and the consistency was surprisingly thick in a good way because the pictures on the menu looked more like a juice. I tasted a chunks or real fruits in it which I appreciated because that means they aren't using anything artificial powders. I also ordered berry chia parfait with strawberries. It came with blueberries and granola. The chia seeds inside are my favorite and it's packed with lots of nutrients.

My server was Samantha and she took care of my orders and made the drinks and my chia seed parfait. She was helpful with guiding me how to use the app for the first time and walked me through the menus. I will be back. Thank you Nekter for staying open early!
