    We stumbled upon this ice cream shop after dinner, and the storefront was so inviting that we couldn't resist going in. I ordered the Salty Cookies and Cream flavor and was blown away -- it was such a unique taste I've never tried before. A perfect balance of slightly salty and sweet, incredibly creamy, and it just melted in my mouth. Truly a delightful surprise! If you're ever in Boston, this spot is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more flavors next time. 晚飯後路過這間雪糕店,見到門面設計非常吸引,所以忍不住走了進去。點了一個「Salty Cookies and Cream」口味,真的令人驚喜 ---- 這是我從未試過的味道,鹹中帶點甜,完美平衡,雪糕非常香滑,入口即溶,實在令人難忘! 如果有機會來波士頓,這間雪糕店絕對值得一試,下次我一定會再來嘗試更多口味。

    Coffee, Froyo X

    Delicious tart frozen yogurt - what they call Froyo X. I was looking for this exact flavor and I'm so glad they had it at their Newbury St location. I ordered the small cup and it was just right for a treat. This business is in the basement/garden unit of the building. There is limited seating in the back of the store, and some tables set up in the front by the steps. Very friendly staff, and they are open late. Highly recommend!

    strawberry milkshake/smoothie & sorbet freeze

    We were on Newbury St getting our steps in and browsing the shops on one of the many hot days we have been blessed with this summer & were parched. Luckily for us, there is a JP Lick's located right on Newbury St!! Our go-to is definitely their smoothies, specifically their strawberry and raspberry smoothies (raspberry one is not pictured here though). This day, we got one strawberry smoothie, which is made with yogurt & strawberry jam that is then blended, and sorbet freeze. Not sure what else they put in their smoothies, but whatever it is, I have been OBSESSED-- SO GOOD! The sorbet freeze was also great and definitely helped cool down from the heat. Staff here was nice and had great convo with one of the workers helping us out. Would totally come back again!

    Great ice cream shop on Newbury. It's a walk down a few steps with tables inside and out. I asked the guy working what his personal favorites were, so we ordered them and loved them all. I ordered the new seasonal flavor of salted caramel coffee. It wasn't too salty and added to the coffee flavor nicely. The hubby ordered the black raspberry and coffee cookies and cream. The coffee cookies and cream was killer, very very coffee flavor and delicious. Service was exceptional and fast.

    Super cute interior, there is cow print everywhere and the service was friendly and prompt. Loved their ice cream options and I opted for the Girl Scout cookie choice. Small inside, a few small tables in the back and a bathroom. Probably better to grab and go during busier hours. Thank you!

    JP Licks is a Massachusetts Ice Cream chain that originated in Jamaica Plain. They offer unique cookies n cream ice cream flavors, sundaes, frozen yogurts, cakes and drinks. This location is on Newbury St. and there's limited seating and a restroom in the back. You can't taste flavors or see the ice cream before you order here but the flight was $9.99 for 4 scoops, which was worth it. Overall, the ice cream was good quality - I liked the ratio of cream to milk. In terms of the flavors: - The coffee cookies n cream was too bitter and the coffee flavor was too strong - 2/10. - The cinnamon toast crunch was my favorite. The cinnamon milk flavor was really evident and the cereal in the ice cream stayed crispy - 8/10. - The mint cookies n cream was average, there weren't chunks of chocolate in the ice cream but the mint flavor was strong - 6/10. - The unicorn crunch tasted like birthday cake ice cream with lots of circular sprinkles mixed in - 6/10. I'd come here with my family for a sweet treat after walking on Newbury St. for an affordable and delicious ice cream.

    JP Lick's is my favorite ice cream in Boston and I make sure to always stop by whenever I'm visiting family here! I love the Cookies n Cake Batter and that's definitely my go to at this point. JP Licks in my opinion not only has the best prices, but also gives the biggest scoops of ice cream, making them have by far the best deal out of any ice cream shop I've been to in Boston.

    The most creamy and delicious soft serves and sorbets! Free samples as well so you can decide what you want to order. Loved the watermelon sorbet and was obsessed with the black raspberry and cookie batter ice cream. Great customer service as well!

    Small inside, service is ran by some kids but was consistent with overworked highschoolers. Ice cream is as advertised.

    Pros: Conveniently located on Newbury - lower level store So many drink, smoothie, ice cream options Fast service Cons: Small seating area in back Pro tip: Great after dinner treat as you take a stroll around the neighborhood. Definitely worth a visit.

    a cup of ice cream with sprinkles

    This location and the lady who helped me serve me my ice cream was wonderful. I told her about my nut allergy and she took it very seriously. She opened up a whole new container of mint chocolate chip ice cream for me and a whole new container of chocolate sprinkles for me. It was very tasty. This location is right on Newbury street so it was a bit busy.

    The Chinese name is "Juxiang Mianbao Fang聚香麵包坊". It had the taste of an old-fashioned bakery and…read morewas very cost-effective. Portuguese Egg Tart葡撻: The shop keeps the egg tarts in a warming box, which is very thoughtful. I've always preferred the cookie crust of old-fashioned Hongkongese egg tarts; they don't crumble or feel sticky in your throat. The custard filling looked a bit overbaked on the surface, but it was still smooth and creamy inside. The milk and egg flavors were qualified, and it was not too sweet. While not particularly amazing, it definitely deserved 4 stars, especially for a Cantonese person like me who hasn't had egg tarts in a long time. Hongkongese Egg Tart蛋撻: The crust is the same as the Portuguese egg tart, but the custard filling seems a bit more diluted, with a lighter milk flavor and a stronger egg flavor. People who aren't used to it might find it a bit eggy. I still prefer the former. Custard Bread奶黃包: Recommended by the owner, and it was definitely the best thing there! I ate it the next morning, but the bread was still soft, and the crust wasn't dry. The custard filling was generous, sweet, creamy, moist, and had a slightly grainy texture. Sausage Bread腸仔包: The seasoning was quite interesting, with a hint of wasabi (?). However, the sausage itself was just average, with a slightly starchy texture. Breads generally cost $2-4 each, and here four items were only $8+, enough to last me all day Important Reminder: Cash only for orders of $10 or less.

    Came to Boston for a work trip and really wanted to eat something light and healthier. I loved it…read moreso much I came back twice! I came during lunchtime on a Monday. It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!

    absolutely adore tora! one of the few places i'd always recommend in boston! fish quality is pretty…read moregood and they have a good variety on the menu! i'd recommend the aburi waygu don but also something more interesting is the kani-yaki tama don however that's a bit more if u like imitation crab! resturant inside is pretty casual and service once seated is usually good and quick however resturant itself is very small so wait times on weekends are ALWAYS long but again it's a given for how popular the resturant is! (p.s. i've been here soooo many times times so i'd also say quality has always been consistent)
