Jamba Santa Cruz Reviews
I love Jamba i usually get the acaii primo and it's always great.
Great service, friendly staff, clean tables, good prices, and GREAT juices! Definitely the best smoothie business in SC.
So fresh! Always makes you feel good having a smoothie from Jamba Juice. Both the Santa Cruz and Capitola locations are terrific. Enthusiastic staff. Clean shop. Worth the money.
Excellent smoothie - perhaps a little high in sugar! But great for a sweet, vitamin filled treat. Even if theres a line, it tends to go pretty smoothly - Lol 😆
I accidentally ordered from this location through their app on 12/13, and the staff handled my issue with kindness and professionalism. Be very careful, as the location finder can select the wrong store. Big kudos to the customer service team at this store!
Good place to grab a smoothie downtown while you walk around! I'm glad they've added more health-conscious options while also keeping their original sugar filled menu. The staff are friendly and overall its another nice Jamba Juice location!
Wow great freshly made juice bar

Sunny day and a smoothie. Definitely recommend the savory pretzel, the sweet one was a little plain but still good.
It's a Jamba Juice. Everything is as you would expect Service is friendly and fast, juices are tasty. Indoor and outdoor seating.
Expensiveee, but it's corporate franchise, so can't change that. Always really cold inside, too. Anyway, great spot at the end of the block and good service.
The drinks are amazing.the place smells godly.the staff is really kind a fast but the place is usually packed so they take a little while but its ok i rather have my food given to me 3 minutes late than have the wrong order.
You can always count on Jamba juice. Caribbean passion never lets me down. Nice people, good service. 🧃🥭🥝🍍🍏🍉🍎🍇🥑

I’ve had the matcha before and loved it. This time it was too bitter. After giving it a try I asked if I could have a bit more sweet coconut cream and was told that they are not allowed to add anything to drinks after they been tasted. It’s unfortunate because the matcha was not enjoyable. I would have liked her to provide additional cream in a separe cup for me to add to cup. Nice clean facilitate. No restrooms.
We bought 8 smoothies here between 2 separate days. Every single one was full of chunks. Something is off on the blenders or the freezers? Smoothies have never been that chunky at other jamba locations.

Don't confuse Jamba juice for health food. Their drinks can be loaded with sugar and processed ingredients. Fresh squeezed carrot and orange juice is your best bet.
The girls who work here are always such a mood killer. I hate when I walk into Jamba happy and cheerful and im greeted with the worst attitude. I try asking how their day was and I get the most dry answers and blank stares. Ladies if this job is crushing your soul that much GET A NEW JOB. You are in control of your own life. Life is too short to just be in a pissy mood because you arent capable of getting a job that makes you happy. Youre in SC for goodness sakes go take a walk on the beach.

Jamba without the juice is not a place I want to go to. They should really bring back the old juices like "Great Greens".
Absolutely ridiculous! Why places like this even exist. They could not offer me even one among all the smoothies made with no added sugar!
Ordered 2 açaí bowls through DoorDash. Paid $13 each for them to arrive not even half full. The açaí was about 1/4 of the entire bowl. A complete waste of money. I’ve never had this happen before.
