What can you say that hasn't been said about J.P. Licks ? Coffee is as good or better than City Feed and what you don't get is ATTITUDE. City Feed hipsters vs. J.P. Licks Angels. I'll take heaven!

Samantha

J.P. Licks is open till 12 and it's always busy. Any season ice cream is always good there, & people are super nice! Coconut almond chip wit mango topping is really good also Mint Oreo is really good

Kenneth McKlinski

Check out the rich variety of fresh roasted coffee - came in for ice cream , and the aroma from the roaster was enticing enough to pick up a bag of fair trade Sumatra Mandheling.

Boston Mama

Their small cones are bountiful and packed in.. It says one scoop but they seem to add a lil extra always :) service is always w a smile and pleasant! Love this location and you will too!

Alexandra Beauty Salon

The summer is coming! JP Licks is the best ice cream palor in the Jamaica Plain area. Explore different varieties that your taste buds have never experienced before ;-)

Katie Tuohy

They have a LOT of dairy-free options which is wonderful. I had the coffee lace and it was heavenly.

BU Today

Another JP landmark , JP Licks now has 10 locations in and around Boston. For the best ice cream , hard and soft yogurt , egg creams , frappes , and a large coffee selection, you can't go wrong Read more

Lizzie Hatfield

Best ice cream I've ever had. Seriously. Particularly like the chocolate brownie batter flavour with hot fudge sauce. So indulgent, so good.

Max Saber

JP Licks is my go to when I have an ice cream craving! Taste the Sweet Cream ice cream then any other ice cream and it'll all make sense!

Boston Mama

Seriously, I've been coming here for more than 10 years..It's be best one in Boston. Recently went to BH location & service sucked as well as my pitiful unpacked small cone & half-empty chipwiches

Jessica Hiemenz

They have really yummy vegan ice cream now made out of coconut and hemp milk . Try the coconut lime it tastes like keylime pie !!

CollegeFashionista

The coffee oreo ice cream at J.P. Licks is perfect for your sweet tooth. If you're feeling extra bad, ask them to put hot fudge on top.

Proxy Apparel

If you're looking for a dairy free option, definitely taste the coconut chocolate . Otherwise the oatmeal raisin fro-yo & oreo ice cream are big wins!

DailyCandy

All Bostonians flock to J.P. Licks , including those with tricky bellies. Gluten- and dairy-free flavors allow everyone to indulge.

Mee KA

The choc brownie batter icecream was deeelicious!....lovely icecream shop...next ime I'm going 2 try their fresh coffees and cupcakes !!!

First We Feast

Medium Oreo cake batter cone . It's enough to feed a family of four for a day Read more

Matthew Pires

During the summer this place always has a line . Expect a wait. Winter months you should be in and out.

Nancy Brown

Great customer service and the best ice cream - faves: chocolate chip , coffee and oatmeal cookie fro yo

Tanika Smith

Try something different! Getting vanilla , chocolate , or anything else plain like it such a boring and wasteful idea for a J.P. Licks .

Mscat

Everything: ice cream , yogurt , expresso & much more! Staff are great!!

Boston Mama

I always get ice cream but today I tried a lemonade w a shot of raspberry ! So yum on this hot day.. Where's the vodka ! :)

Gina Stabile

If it's your first time, check out the flavors online first - so many to choose from!

Xavier Solé Acha

Awesome ice creams !! Expect very long lanes if you go there on Lilac Sunday.

Scott L.

I once played a "punk" show in this building...damn, I'm old. I don't recall a big cow head hanging off the front back then. Didn't this shop first open on Newbury St. ? Oi! Oi! Oi! Gimme Chocolate !

Crysta s

Personal fave is the mint cookies and cream ice cream !

Nicholas Stevens

The hot chocolate is definately worth trying; especially on a cold day.

Elizabeth V

Get the El Diablo when they have it! It's chocolate ice cream with cinnamon and cayenne pepper . Different but addicting!

Carrie Bevis

The original JP Licks . Good ice cream , but maybe a bit too much hype from the Bostonians.

Everything is good here, even the great service.
