| - Location & Aesthetics - Located in Peoria in a strip mall off Bell Road around the furniture store Tres Amigos.
Parking is horrible as Jamba Juice is situated next to the Panda Express and it seemed that the parking lot wasn't big enough. I think it would pose a problem if you had a larger sized truck or SUV. (-1)
Jamba Juice was small and on hot days like the day I visited, it was packed with barely enough seating to accommodate me or my party though you could opt to sit outside while you wait for your order but who wants to wait in 115 degree weather outside, right. With it being so packed, inside can get a bit stuffy and even noisy with all their blenders going at full crunch! I was raising my voice to the person behind the register just to place my order. (-1)
Menu - Very extensive and lots of options/choices, and well laid out that I didn't have any questions and very clear to see.
Service - Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Greeted us when we walked in even though the place was packed.
My order - I ordered the Caribbean Passion Smoothie which was supposed to contain passion fruit, mango juice, strawberries, orange sherbet, and peaches. Staff informed me that they were out of peaches and asked if I'd like to substitute it with another option which I did with blueberries.
I have to say the drink was cold and smooth with no bits of fruits or didn't have that grainy feel to it with some smoothies I've had before. There was some bits of leftover fruit in the bottom of it but not enough to deter from the overall taste. I also have to mention that I didn't seem to taste any passion fruit, strawberries, or mango as the drink advertised. I did definitely get the orange and blueberry taste and even saw that characteristic blueberry color so I'm not sure what quantities or concentrations of fruits are added. Is it equal proportions of each fruit, I don't know. (-1)
I don't think I'll be returning here in future for my smoothie cravings as there are many other local businesses out there vying for my attention with their innovative smoothie creations that I'd like to give a chance to.
