Don't sleep on the sorbet . I had the Orange Irish, and was delightfully surprised at how much flavor was packed into each spoonful.
I live for every July, when Fresh Cucumber ice cream reappears on the menu. (I bide my time during the rest of the year with Cookies 'n' Cake Batter .)
Amazing ice cream and coffee , but, surprisingly, their tart frozen yogurt is also very good! I prefer it to iYO and Orange Leaf.
Great choice of ice-cream flavors (including a couple of vegan options ). However, the prices are very high compared to alternatives.
The hot fudge is excellent, and very rich. Try it over some coconut almond or cappuccino crunch . Or both.
The oatmeal cookie hard yogurt is a less guilty way of satisfying your sweet tooth :)
Best ice cream I've had since moving here
They roast their own coffee . And I get the peanut butter sundae ...it's gluten free !
Casey is enjoying his oreo ice cream at J.P. Licks, and wants to share it with you. Check out his Favecast recommendation here- http://www.favecast.com/jkLPUW18oB
The milkshake or Frappes as they call it up north is very tasty!
Cape codder (sp?) sorbet was delicious. It has vodka but you can't even taste it.
I'm very partial to both the cookies & cake batter and the brownie batter
Cappuccino crunch and mint cookies n cream are killer.
I was excited to try it but maybe I got the wrong flavors (cream stout and mint chip hard yogurt ) because I don't believe this lived up to its hype.
Really unique ice cream flavors . And great location in Davis Square.
Get the cookie dough ! Every flavor is awesome though. Check out this video review for more recommendations Read more
Get a chipwich - tasty cookies and cheaper than a small ice cream . If they're not busy, they'll make them special with whatever flavor ice cream and cookies you want.
Cake batter & cookies and cream is the way to go!
The El Diablo - chocolate ice cream with cinnamon and chile pepper - comes into season around February. GET IT WHILE IT'S HOT.
Solid ice cream chain with locations across the city
The oatmeal cookie hard yogurt...so yummy!
They have an amazing selection of flavours and both hard and soft frozen yoghurt !
Here's a first day of Spring special for you...ask for a hot fudge sundae made with thin mint ice cream . Yes it is Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie ice cream . You'll thank me
Iced chai is rad as a mohawked cow.
Awesome frozen yogurt ! So good.
Coconut almond chip ! Loved it!!
Love the margharita sorbet , has a little kick ;)
Most fantastic flavor: Rum Raisin . Uncannily alluring rum-soaked raisins .
In terms of unique, fancy flavored ice cream places. This place is just ok, you can do better
Cookies n' Cake Batter is the absolute best.
Nothing like blasting music and the rudest cashier I've ever encountered at a usually friendly JP Licks. Thanks for ruining what was supposed to be a relaxing break for a treat.
The kowlua flavor is delicious. It's only for a limited time though.
Dependably tasty ice cream . Mint oreo frappe makes me smile.
The peanut butter yogurt is amazingly like ice cream and won't make you fat.
They have tons of Oreo flavors!
Midday chocolate malted frappe are good for the soul.
Vegan chocolate coconut is amazing!!!!!
Hot? Should probably get some ice cream . Take a seat outside , there's a 40% chance that a hoedown is happening.
Vegan ice cream are #njam!
Brownie brownie batter frappe with peanut butter sauce . Mmm!
Love the pistachio ice cream .
Pricey but so many flavors
Banana split is awesome with chocolate and black raspberry ! !
Peanut butter cookie dough , when it's here, makes me oh so happy inside.
The worset Ice cream I've ever had, the toppings are expired, the taste is bad. I don't recommend you to visit at all.
The asian scoopah is my fav. Leave her good tips!
Get the peach ice cream while it lasts!
Hot chocolate is as good as their ice cream
Vegan ice cream
I'll never get why it's only a seasonal flavor , but it's March and Mocha Chip is back HOORAY!
Fantastic eclectic selection of flavors!!! Amazing fresh ice cream made with love! - Katerina Kouriati
Best ice cream in Boston. The chocolate has a perfect texture and nice malty flavor. - Sam N
Great homemade ice cream, fun seasonal flavors, cheaper than other ice cream places in the area. - Rachel Donovan
Their take on a London Fog is tasty as well as clever (Somerville Smog), the sandwiches are wicked good, the staff are nice, atmosphere is laid-back, and the pool tables are cheap. Love it! - Alana Lynch
Burgers are a tad expensive, but very good. Killer Bee and the All-American are my favorites. - Art
So cute! Ice cream, beer, wine, candy either regular or chilled, love it here. - Jen Schwartz
