    The brownie that was stuck under a mountain of melted ice cream
    Bella S.

    Well, I wanted to love you cause you came highly recommended while in Boston . But what can I say either I'm a fool for door dashing ice cream when it's cold out less then a mile from our Inn, or do I blame the DoorDasher who made several stops before delivering our freaking ice cream that was a melted mess of yuck time we got it? Or possibly the brownie Sundae had melted before the DoorDasher even picked it up? Disappointing for sure.

    Peanut butter cookies and cream
    Grace V.

    I came here with my friend last night and the two young men at the counter were very helpful. We both asked for samples and they were glad to give them to us, which is not something you see in a lot of ice cream places! The place was quiet and there were lots of fun pieces of art on the walls. The peanut butter cookies and cream ice cream was so delicious. I love JP Licks and can't wait to come back!

    JP Licks on Boylston Street was straight! We came here about an hour before close & the workers were attentive + made our order with the quickness. We ordered our usual two smoothies, one strawberry & one raspberry. The smoothies are made with yogurt AND I'VE LITERALLY BEEN OBSESSED. it just hits every time, I don't know... I will forever get their smoothies! Parking: It can be kind of tough finding parking in this area. If the spots right in front aren't open, you may luck out finding a spot on Mass Ave. For us, we parked on Newbury St and walked over.

    Right next door to down under yoga, so we got a nice post class smoothie!!! Razz and strawberry smoothies, always creamy, yogurt, smooth blended drink. Space has tables and seating to hang out and have ice cream, drinks and hang with new friends or just in and out. Quick and easy, parking is usually tough for the area but i suppose the college Boston area has many folks whom are commuting and walking anyways. There are paid lots and newbury street/ Boylston street meters if you are lucky to find a spot down couple of blocks though!

    Delicious ice cream, friendly service, clean shop, great location! Always a good experience at any JP Licks location!

    Just a quick stop in to grab some of Bostons best hot chocolate! Cake here right after checking out the Yelp elite experience at Union park pizza on Newbury street. Service was quick and friendly! Hot chocolate was delicious as always- hubs and just shared one - it was gone so fast lol! Good music and ambiance. They have a couch seating on one wall now which makes it cozy. Cute place - we've been here several times and always get the hot chocolate. Definitely recommend!

    I am a huge fan! The vegan flavors are so good especially the Madagascar vanilla. They also let you try any flavors you might like. It is super "cutseyyyy" for date night or after dinner. Line moves quick. They have outdoor seating but the tables were kind of dirty so I would stay inside. 10/10!!

    Pistachio ice cream (one scoop)
    Natalie V.

    This ice cream chain is a reliable dessert spot in Boston. Every time I've been here the service is awesome and the flavors are super tasty. I opted for a scoop of pistachio in a cup and I loved it! The consistency was great and it was the perfect amount to indulge and satisfy my sweet tooth. The inside was very clean and quiet when I went in the evening. This could make for a good spot to have a tasty treat with a friend or small group.

    Butterscotch oatmeal cookie batter
    Abigail M.

    J.P. Licks is a classic option for ice cream in Boston, and I love the variety of flavors they always have. The frozen yogurt I've had is good flavor-wise, but the consistency is a bit freezer burnt so not my favorite. But, the apple pie flavor in the fall is a MUST! Most recently, I had the butterscotch oatmeal cookie batter. It was delicious, jam packed with mix-ins. The butterscotch chips were good, but I think having them rippled would have enhanced the butterscotch. If I'm not feeling any of the seasonal flavors, my go-to is usually peanut butter cookies and cream. Everyone is very polite, and there's ample seating inside and outside. It's always great!

    Cake batter and brownie batter

    I liked this place it wasn't busy and there was a good selection on the menu. There was outdoor seating and indoor, the service was good and the scoops weren't too small. Clean on the inside as well.

    Sundae
    Erin O.

    Oh how I enjoy JP Licks! Every time I stop by here I'm never disappointed... it's a solid choice for ice cream. Will it blow your socks off? Probably not, but it's consistent and will leave you satisfied. I ordered a small sundae with two scoops, which included two toppings and complimentary cherries and whipped cream. For the price of about $8, this was a bit steep, but it was enough to share between me and my partner. I also really love how much seating this place has, it's a comfy spot to hang out even when the weather is cold.

    Nutella frappe with vanilla ice cream

    So classic, there are people here even when it's so cold you can't feel your hands. There's something for everyone and there's hot chocolate so you can get something to warm up as well.

    Riley S.

    There's nothing better than your neighborhood JP Licks! Specifically, I love this location. The set-up is unique being a college campus location, so there is plenty of seating, both inside and outside. Including, comfy lounge couches that provides the "cafe" element. I came at 9:30 on a Friday night and it was not too busy. I got through the line in under 3 minutes with welcoming service. The only thing I guess I forgot was that it costs an extra $1 for toppings! Always a classic!

The meal options are all on laminated pages instead of on a big board, but they did have a lot of good options. We started with regular drip coffee which was ready quickly and we could sweeten to our liking. We tried the house breakfast which was two eggs any style (got them fluffy and scrambled), crispy bacon, cheesy potato fritters with tomato jam (similar to ketchup), and sourdough bread (we asked for butter) it was all very filling and some nice spins on a traditional breakfast. The bakery selection is out of this world - from breakfast pastries to delicately crafted desserts. The cinnamon and pecan rose was just like the center of a cinnamon bun, which was fantastic. It was big enough for two people to indulge without overdoing it. There weren't a lot of outlets, so not ideal for long term laptop use, but the food came quickly, it wasn't too loud even with a ton of people coming in and out. The prices were reasonable, and everything tasted amazing.

Let me sit with that for a second: delivered, still warm. The aroma hit the room before the box was even fully open, and suddenly everyone remembered they were hungry. The chocolate chip cookie is massive, gooey, and unapologetically crisp at the edges, soft and molten in the middle, loaded with chocolate in a way that feels generous rather than excessive. My co-workers kept saying it was one of the best they'd ever had. They were not wrong. They are also now expecting this to happen again. All of which is to say: Levain is an excellent cookie, and also an excellent idea. Send them to someone who needs cheering up. Send them to your team on a hard week. Send them to yourself and tell no one. All valid. All highly recommended.
