Originally known as Jamba Juice, this is a popular smoothie shop in Southern California that also sells products like acai bowls and wheatgrass shots. Here are your payment options at Jamba.
Common Ways to Pay for Your Smoothie at Jamba
Jamba | Cash | Large Bills | Personal Checks | Debit Card | Credit Card | Apple Pay | Google Pay | UnionPay | JCB | PayPal | Venmo |
In-store | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | ||||
Online | No | No | No | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | No |
You have several payment options at Jamba’s smoothie shops including cash and credit cards. Jamba also has point-of-sale terminals that support contactless payments so you can use Apple Pay and Google Pay for in-store purchases there. In fact, this smoothie shop was one of the first restaurants to add terminals with support for tap-to-pay. This might be because Jamba, like other smoothie shops, has a health-focused brand and tap-to-pay is more sanitary than paying with cash or cards.
Support for Other Payment Options at Jamba
Jamba | Klarna | Affirm | Afterpay | Sezzle | Zip | PayPal Credit | EBT | Store Gift Card | Store Credit Card |
In-store | No | Yes | Yes | No | |||||
Online | No | No | Yes | No |
Like other smoothie shops, Jamba doesn’t accept EBT. It’s possible for restaurants in California and other states where the Restaurant Meals program is available to accept this form of payment, but none of the smoothie shops in Southern California have signed up for it. That might be because smoothies and acai bowls are considered luxury items. If you’re looking for an alternative, there are some fast-food burger restaurants that accept EBT and also sell smoothies. If a restaurant accepts EBT you can use it to buy any food product on the restaurant’s menu.
More Profile Information for Jamba
This is a smoothie shop, juice bar, and cafe. In addition to smoothies, it also serves oatmeal with fresh fruit for breakfast and you might also see other baked goods there. Additionally, like other smoothie shops, Jamba allows you to select vitamins and other supplements to add to your smoothie.
One noteworthy thing about Jamba is that it operates a few co-branded locations in partnership with independently operated restaurants. That’s a good idea because this smoothie shop gets a lot of breakfast customers but may not be busy at other times of day. Additionally, some Jamba shops have drive-thru lanes and I haven’t seen any other smoothie shops offer that amenity.
