I have been to a variety of places like the Smoothie King and have always found them to be a bit bland. I love fruit but I like for them to have a sweetness. Jamba Juice excels in this area completely. They color code their menus for predominate flavors. Drinks that have an orange base are orange. Berry drinks tend to have a pinkish red color on the menu and so on. They label their beverage offerings very well and even list all the power shots you can have within the drinks. A free boost comes with each drink. When picking up your drink, you have to remember what you ordered since they call it out and I LOVE how they unwrap the straw without putting their fingers on it. I have been to a lot of their locations and find this to be their normal practice.
PROS: Always clean and efficient staff
CONS: Sometimes a bit crowded

This place is hands down the best smoothie bar in the city. Every ingredient is fresh, organic, and mixed right before your eyes. And it tastes incredible and includes all of your fruit servings for the day. I recommend indulging once in awhile, however, on the peanut butter moo'd smoothie.

horrible service.Rip off food. Okay drinks.
by jane888
this place had the most horrile service. Theyre so disorganized and have lazy staff. My friend and I ordered 2 smoothies and 2 flatbreads yesterday, and the smoothies came first...took a reasonable amount of time considering that it was crowded and it is a busy location in the heart of new york city, however what ruined the experience most was that they took forever in making the flatbread. The 4 cheese flatbread is $3.50 plus tax and is a size smaller than a bagel. It isn't even a flatbread, it's a pizza they used to serve back in elementary school lunch, the personal size ones. I rather go to dunkin donuts and get a real flatbread for that price! It didn't even fill me up...and the manager himself who was workign there took 10 minutes to bring the first flatbread, and i asked him where the other is because we ordered 2, he said 'OH....(FORGOT) IT'S COMING RIGHT UP.' So we waited patiently, and this time it took 15 minutes for the second flatbread aka elem school pizza to arrive. So my friend got angry and went to ask this other lady, and she said 'i dunno i think someone already took care of it' and next thing you know, this other chick comes back from her break, and goes 'OH YEAH I LEFT THE FLATBREAD IN THE OVEN BEFORE I TOOK MY BREAK OOOPS' they took it out of the oven and it was burnt. My friend threw a tantrum and the lady heated a new one up again, and my friend watched the clock timer, it takes 1 MINUTE 20 SECONDS TO HEAT A FROZEN 4 CHEESE FLATBREAD.
NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN.
Pros: healthy choice
Cons: not worth price and service

by magicloop2009
The prices are phenomenal but worth it. They could use alittle more sitting area. Iw ish that I can give this palce 10 stars.............

They are fruity and awesome, I can't so no to picking up a drink from here, and who can, I don't blame you
Pros: Great smoothies
Cons: Long line, crowds, wait, prices

Jamba Service
by b00pi3flak3s
One of the many Jamba Juices in the area, this location seems to attract a good core of tourists. Service is friendly and the smoothies are well made. Sometimes its insanely crowded in here, but what do you expect? Its Times Square. Avoid during the lunch hour and during the early evening hours.
Pros: Service, Environment, Drinks
Cons: Touristy
