So, this was actually my second time trying Jamba Juice. The first was outside of the security checkpoint of the Newark airport (this one is inside near the A 20 – A 26 gates, just in front of restrooms). Ironically, it's the outside Jamba juice location that's the one you want to sample, as it has several types to choose from, and would get 4 stars. This express location unfortunately does not measure up and only had three flavors at the time we visited it, and to make matters worse, those flavors aren't even freshly mixed. Yep, pre-made, AND almost $1 more than the outside counterpart. If you just have to have a smoothie fix, i'd suggest visiting the jamba juice outside of the security area and just drink it down before you go through to the terminals…otherwise I think you'll be pretty disappointed with this location.
I left NY for my drive to NJ at 8AM and I generally don't like to eat before getting on a plane because, hey- after a 5+ hour flight, I hate those tiny gross plane restrooms!
So imagine my delight when I was walking through the airport to get to my gate with my hunger pains when I stumbled upon a kiosk in the hall past the TSA checkpoint sporting a Jamba Juice logo. It's my favorite meal replacement, especially their all fruit concoctions. Serving three flavors in three different sizes. That will do.
Not the Jamba I've had but A+ for the convenience of having it inside Terminal A, the worst terminal ever.
Basically, this is a little kiosk with slushie machines that hold 1-3 types of smoothies. These are not the standard ones you're used to in terms of the original flavors. For example, rather than Razzmatazz, they have Raspberry Orange. Very slim selection and it's already premixed. The juice is definitely not as heavy as you expect (definitely more watery), but you gotta do what you gotta do. And I really appreciate them having this Express Cart here!
What really kicks me in the ass is that this kiosk, though affiliated with Jamba Juice, does not accept gift card! Like seriously? Not only do you not have signature items (how hard is it to get a premix of your most popular Razzmatazz and Peach Pleasure?), but you won't let me use YOUR gift card?
As much as I appreciate the convenience, go to the Jamba Juice storefront outside the terminal to the right of the security check. Go to a real Jamba Juice if you have the time or if you're leaving the airport, do not succumb to the kiosk if it can be avoided!
Come here once in awhile to get jolt energy without the caffeine and somewhat healthy. They have salads, granola, etc. I had the medium pomegranate, blueberry smoothie with an energy shot. It held me over for dinner. The price was $5.50 which isn't too bad.
Not bad. Got an aloha pineapple which was super creamy, but the guy making it made too much, so I got a free upgrade in size. That was nice, but the staff left a little to be desired. They werent very friendly, but I guess you cant blame them for the amount of people they must deal with every day. It was a good snack before heading through security.

I thought this Jamba Juice was actually pretty solid. My Mango shake thing wasn't fully blended but the guy was nice enough and pretty quick.

They have pumpkin smoothie still, yea. I love the pumpkin and any where that I can get it I will. It's nice to get a jamba on a layover.
