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 .)

Steph

Amazing ice cream and coffee , but, surprisingly, their tart frozen yogurt is also very good! I prefer it to iYO and Orange Leaf.

Anonymous, since 2018

Great choice of ice-cream flavors (including a couple of vegan options ). However, the prices are very high compared to alternatives.

Daniel Wolf

The hot fudge is excellent, and very rich. Try it over some coconut almond or cappuccino crunch . Or both.

Minnie Kim

The oatmeal cookie hard yogurt is a less guilty way of satisfying your sweet tooth :)

Kate

Best ice cream I've had since moving here

Aimee Goudas

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

Casey

The milkshake or Frappes as they call it up north is very tasty!

Juanita

Cape codder (sp?) sorbet was delicious. It has vodka but you can't even taste it.

Brianna

I'm very partial to both the cookies & cake batter and the brownie batter

Kate Makai

Cappuccino crunch and mint cookies n cream are killer.

Jackie

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.

Mike Callahan

Really unique ice cream flavors . And great location in Davis Square.

Favecast

Get the cookie dough ! Every flavor is awesome though. Check out this video review for more recommendations Read more

Kimble

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.

David Martin

Cake batter & cookies and cream is the way to go!

Lynne B

The El Diablo - chocolate ice cream with cinnamon and chile pepper - comes into season around February. GET IT WHILE IT'S HOT.

Nick Scott

Solid ice cream chain with locations across the city

Minnie Kim

The oatmeal cookie hard yogurt...so yummy!

Leah K

They have an amazing selection of flavours and both hard and soft frozen yoghurt !

Mark Behnke

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

Jacob Ford

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.

Jing Z.

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.
