J.P. Licks

The best ice cream in Cambridge/Boston (far better than Toscanini's and Christina's). The best flavors are cappuccino crunch (for coffee/cinnamon lovers), any peanut butter flavor , and brownie batter .

A local ice cream chain done good, they're guaranteed to be popular on sunny days, and well worth the small line , which usually moves quickly. The coconut almond chip ice cream is where it's at.

Winning move: ask for an Extra Spicy 'El Diablo ' hot chocolate . Fit caffeine kick, add espresso shots or even go 1/2 coffee 1/2 hot chocolate .

Patience is rewarded: there’s a *reason* there are lines at all hours...& their hours go til 11pm/midnight. All their flavors are amazing, so splash out and try something you wouldn’t normally go for!

They stay open late . Great inventive flavors of ice cream so taste around. They also sell non dairy options .

Try cinnamon-raisin for a seasonal flavor . It is both creamy and light. One of the ice-cream shops in the city . Love it!!!

Try the maple walnut ice cream ! This place is situated right in Harvard Square which is very convenient and close to other stores/restaurants!

The red raspberry chip hard yogurt is perfect to satisfy late night sweet cravings!!!!

This is the best ice cream in the country . The flavors are the month are reason to be excited. Banana-Oreo is the best flavor.

Get black raspberry ice cream with sangria sorbet ????

Pretty slow moving line but it’s worth the wait. Huge serving. You can opt for 2 flavors in a single scoop.

Every JPLicks location is 100% kosher certified. Also they have 5 different kinds of oreo ice cream , and the staff is nice here.

Brownie batter is great! I was like eating a brownie cake !????

Brownie brownie batter is my go to, but they've always got a few gems under the monthly flavors.

Peanut butter and coffee cookies and cream (also blending the aforementioned flavors into a frappe )

A great locally owned ice-cream shop that will never bore you with its choice of flavors! They also have plenty of frozen-yogurt options as well as smoothies and coffee . Read more

This is by far the best ice cream cake I've ever had (Oreo cake batter )!

The cookies & cream is amazing! Its as if they finely ground a whole box of oreos into each spoonful!

So creamy. I don't usually like chocolate ice cream but the brownie batter is deliciously decadent

One of the best in Boston. The oreo cakebatter is overly sweet (on the fake sweet side) though, so keep that in mind if it seems tempting.

Oatmeal cookie hard yogurt or soft serve peanut butter flavour ????

The frosted mint white hot chocolate with whip cream is perfect. Get it. You won't be let down.

The Red Raspberry Chip yogurt was delicious!

Had the hot chocolate . It was a little too sweet for me but the cinnamon was perfect.

Seasonal flavors are the best ... Pumpkin , Apple pie
