We love Jamba because what we normally order doesn't taste like powder like a number of the other chains that serve similar style drinks. Drinks were all really good! We got various peach, orange and strawberry drinks between the 4 of us when we stopped by. Staff was all very helpful and friendly. My oldest kiddo on our last day got their drink mixed up ... Strawberry Surf instead of Whirl ... and the staff took care of the drink for them. When we make it back up here we will for sure be getting more Jamba!!

We were impressed by the new, "earthy" look of the restaurant. The menu had many appealing choices. The gluten-free items were clearly marked and although the lactose-free items were not marked, there were plenty to choose from. Our waitress was one of the best we have ever had. She was friendly, gave us great recommendations and information, kept my bottomless cup of tea full, and was very prompt throughout. We ordered salmon and told her we were going to split the meal and she brought an extra plate. The tea and soup were both tasty and hot...just like I like them. The broccoli steamed was steamed to tender perfection. The ceiling had acoustic tile so noise from other diners never disturbed our conversation. If there was background music, it was so soft I did not notice it. There was frequently a line for the two, unisex bathrooms, which were clean but perhaps a little worn. Good Earth® has returned to our list of places to eat and I highly recommend you give it a try.

I was so happy to order a few acai bowls - cost is average for the amount of items you get per bowl. I came here everyday after walking in the mall. Parking lot is small but turn-around is quick.

Yay! So happy to find an acai bowl place within the Mall of America!…read more Acai is labeled as a superfood due to its high levels of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids.

Do not recommend this place. Customer service was disappointing…read more When ordering, I specifically asked for a kid-friendly drink recommendation and was given a strawberry fruit tea with popping boba. It ended up tasting extremely bitter--more like strong black tea than anything strawberry. Paying $7 for a drink my kids wouldn't even touch felt like a waste. I went back to ask if they could make it sweeter or offer a different drink. I wasn't asking for a refund, just a chance to have a better experience. They added sweetener but it still tasted very bitter and said their policy doesn't allow to change drinks. To make things worse, staff were speaking to each other in another language right in front of me instead of communicating directly (when they both can speak perfect english), which felt unprofessional. Overall, disappointing experience and not very accommodating to customers.

It allowed me to take a look at the other businesses in this plaza as I waited. Two doors down from it is North Country Nutrition (NCN). I wondered whether it was similar to Zeev's Nutrition Studio that I typically go to in Toronto. Sure enough, I did some research online while killing time at the drive-thru, and it had healthy shakes and drinks. Cool! On Saturday morning, I decided to check out NCN. I found a parking spot steps away from the store and backed into it. I was the only customer at the store at around 10 am. The woman, who later introduced herself as Liz, was so friendly and warm. I loved the cozy vibes that this place had, from the couch with cute pillows and other Christmas decorations, to the northern vibes that you feel with canoe paddles and loons. We both ended up sharing where we are from. She's originally from Alexandria, which is roughly a 2.5-hour drive north of the Twin Cities. I indicated that I knew where it was when I used to drive between Rochester and Winnipeg. I cut through it. She loved that I knew where she grew up. The coziness comes from living by water, which shows. She was great explaining her shakes and teas. I am a tea person. I saw watermelon Jolly Rancher as a cold tea. I knew that I wanted it. So, she made me one. It was in a mega format that I'm used to. It was just over $5, which is reasonable. I paid with a credit card. It was easy. I tapped and was done. I thanked her for my drink and headed to my car. I sipped my watermelon Jolly Rancher tea throughout the day. It does taste like the candy, minus the sugar. The flavours were yummy. I was a happy camper. I am glad that I discovered NCN. It takes five minutes to drive over here from the hotel, which I love. The parking lot is small, but I managed to find a spot just fine. I wish that I had found it sooner on this trip. I'll need to return and try more drinks. This place closes at 4 pm most days. It's also closed on Sundays. (440)
