This location makes it super easy to grab ice cream on a hot day and keep shopping! Really solid (but just average) soft ice cream. I ordered the cookie dough ice cream with cookie dough on top in a cup- it was the perfect amount of dough to ice cream ratio. The cookie dough topping was fresh and soft, and the ice cream itself was silky smooth. The actual price of the ice cream was a bit high for what it is; but I would return. read more

Delicious! There were many unique flavors offered and I ended up choosing the maple butter walnut and myers's rum raisin flavors. They were both great, flavorful and not too sweet -- highly recommend! The location makes it a convenient place for a treat and energy boost after running the Charles. read more

Do not go if the girl with the glasses is working. She will undermine you when you simply ask for a medium sundae. She also doesn't know how to make a sundae to save her life. I simply asked for a medium sundae & she then proceeded to give me one scoop in a medium cup when every single time I have been to this place, my cup is filled with ice cream. Also, after I asked her if she had gotten my size correct she decided to take the liberty to say that it was the eight ounces I had asked for. Completely ruined my night and truly disappointed in this location as it is my go to but perhaps no longer. read more

Pro tip - the kids size is a perfect size for even adults. Ok that said the ice cream here is second to nearly none and a must stop when we are in Boston. The strawberry is legit fruit and the mint chip isn't green ;-) you can't go wrong with any flavor here. Make it a stop! read more

We wanted an after dinner treat! I found this ice cream place on Yelp. This place came highly recommended. I decided to get the salted caramel coffee ice cream. Omg so good! Enjoyed every bite read more

To complete my overnight stay in Boston, I enjoyed another long walk with a sweet treat in mind. J.P. Licks "served" up a wonderful banana split to enjoy people watching, especially those walking their dogs. I always miss my rescue while away, so it was a treat to watch the dogs sit attentively while everyone around them enjoyed the delicious ice cream servings. Extremely friendly staff. Thank you for completing my Boston experience. read more

The ice cream was great. Gluten free options! But staff seemed a little tired and annoyed, so I was worried about them. If you go plan to cheer up the workers (?) but ice cream was excellent and in a really cute area read more

Solid ice cream shop. We honestly wanted to try some others but this was the only one fairly close and open. I had the seasonal butterscotch oatmeal cookie and it was great. I like interesting textures in my ice cream. Toppings weren't even necessary but they had a decent selection of them. read more

Ice cream was alight, I got cappuccino crunch and it had very strong coffee. Aside from the food, I'm disappointed with service here. The guy who took my order charged me nearly $9, I later found out my small cup only costs $4.50. My friends who got large one paid less than I did. I will not come back here. read more

JP never disappoints!!! This is their opening day and ice cream is BOGO as well as you can enter to win swag. I got 2 scoops - pistachios and brownie brownie batter and my friend got the mango sorbet and salted caramel cookies and cream. They're are awesome! The Ma go sorbet was very refreshing. I am sugar high right right now. read more

the espresso shot ice cream goes absolutely sicko mode. no cap. no brim. no hat. no beanie.

Came here on our trip to Boston -- since my husband could not stop raving about it. I would recommend you get the cookies and cream. It's a double chocolate version (made with chocolate ice cream) and honestly it's the best I've ever had. I also love that they do variations on cookies and cream -- the peanut butter one tastes like a cookies and cream reeses! The location itself is a bit smaller but there is seating and a restroom in the back. Definitely stop by if you're in the area! read more

Really good ice cream with a ton of flavors. Inside it has a Ben & Jerry's vibe as quirky and fun. The prices are reasonable too! This is a great Boston ice cream place and can't wait to try all the flavors! read more

Delicious ice cream! They offer ice cream, soft serve and somewhat of a mix of the two. The blackberry ice cream was recommended and extremely delicious. I added mini chocolate chips which made it even better! Staff also recommended the cookies and cream mixed flavors read more

Excellent, friendly service. We got a cookie dough milkshake (YUM) and I had pistachio. I was so excited I couldn't resist and had a bite before I took the pic~ really refreshing to have solid ice cream with no artificial flavoring or dyes. Really amazing gluten free and dairy free selection- what's not to love? read more

Best ice cream we've ever tasted. We ordered scoops in a cone and a frappes of the cookies n cake batter. Already seeing when we can make it back!! read more

Came with my mother this afternoon, the service was amazing and the ice cream was delicious! Will absolutely be returning!

I love JP Licks and this place was great. The cashier was super sweet and the portions are always so large. I got a small maple walnut and the flavor is always amazing. I also got the frozen dog treat for $2.75 and it was great - it kept my pup busy while I enjoyed my treat and she loved it. There is seating inside and a few seats outside, but I usually just grab ice cream and walk around. read more

Good ice cream! A bit expensive. I got the tiny one and it was almost $5. The staff was friendly and efficient. I recommend the solid yogurt in the flavor peanut butter chocolate, it's really good. Doesn't have chunks of dough but has chocolate chips. You can also try any flavor if you ask. The shop is very small and doesn't have a list of ingredients but you can look up nutritional facts on their website (no ingredient list found) and there is some seating outside read more

My sister and I went for ice cream and coffee. Honestly can't complain about the ice cream, same old at every location, but nothing special. To me it's sad that this is supposed to be a Bostonian favorite though. We ordered a matcha latte and the girl didn't even know how to make it. (Do they even train their employees??) We each had a sip and had to throw it in the trash. Definitely do NOT recommend their matcha lattes-- ended up going two stores down to Starbucks for something that didn't taste like hot green milk. The seating in the back is also pretty gross. Sprinkles everywhere and basically a sticky mess. It wouldn't kill if they had some maintenance of that area, especially considering that it wasn't even that busy. read more

It's ok pre-made ice cream. Ben and Jerry's is objectively better even though it's not a local chain.

Delicious and also some unusual flavors. Portion size of a small cup may look small (LOL) but this Ice Cream is so rich and sweet, it's difficult to eat the whole serving. The hot fudge is thick and delicious, maybe some of the best hot fudge I've had in an ice cream shop that's part of a chain. My only complaint is that they were sold out of several flavors of the day. Will definitely return again and again! read more

Amazing featured flavors for the month of August. Peach is a must try! The staff is very friendly, and out going! It's pretty cool having a JPlicks back on Newbury St . Brings back some good memories for most. read more

Trying to find some sanctuary from the Boston heat, we found ourselves in this cute ice cream shop. I was initially attracted by the hard yogurt. I forced myself to choose something more than my usual basic mint chip. The raspberry chip had a good amount of tartness thought still quite sweet from the chocolate. Ultimately I couldn't really tell the difference between the hard yogurt and the ice cream, it tasted very similar to normal ice cream. But I happily gobbled it up regardless while strolling down Newbury Street. read more

Yummy!!!! After our wonderful dinner at Papa Razzi we stopped a few doors down for dessert. I got the low fat yogurt but they have ice cream as well. And coffee. Definitely glad we stopped here for dessert after our dinner. Reasonable prices. Seating in the back and patio When the weather permits. read more

Ice cream is really not that great. Ordered pistachio ice cream. Came out to be original one sprinkled with couple pistachios! I suggest the owner to try some real pistachio ones anywhere in the Middle East, south Europe or even just in NYC. It should be made by fully grounded up pistachios so the ice cream shows a lovely light green color. Even the original one tasted just so unremarkable. Not worth it read more

This place is amazing, I ate the best cookies n' cream ice cream I've ever had in my entire life
