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. read more

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! read more

I've always had good experiences at JP licks despite local opinions of the place, I personally enjoy their ice cream and hope to try their hot chocolate one of these cold days. Their nondairy chocolate ice cream was delicious and quite creamy. The peanut butter chip tasted more icy, but the flavors were there, and I liked the added crunchy texture of the chips. The staff member there was friendly, and the store is spacious with plenty of seating and tables inside. read more

J P Licks - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I rarely write negative reviews, but my recent experience at J.P. Licks on Boylston Street was so unpleasant that I feel it's important to share. We arrived 10 minutes before closing time (just before 12:00 AM), hoping to grab a couple of desserts because it was our anniversary and J.P licks' door was open.There were two staff members inside, and the male server kindly told us we could buy a cookie or a brownie. Since the brownies were pre-packaged and ready-made, there was no preparation required, so we decided to stay and choose what we wanted. While we were discussing our options, we asked the male server if the chocolate croissant listed on the board was still available. Out of nowhere, the female server started shouting at us, telling us to "just go away" because they were closing. We calmly explained that the male server had told us we could buy desserts, but she ignored us and continued to yell. At this point, the male server also told us that we can't buy the cookies and brownies and asked us to leave. To make matters worse, she insulted one of my friends who is dyslexic, mocking his speech and shouting, "Learn how to speak clearly." This was not just rude, it was blatantly racist. We are Indian, and it felt like her behavior was racially motivated. The way she spoke to us was demeaning and unnecessary, making us feel completely disrespected because of our ethnicity. At this point, another staff member came in to try and de-escalate the situation, which we appreciated, but it didn't erase the fact that we were still treated poorly. Despite his attempt to calm things down, we were still humiliated and made to feel unwelcome. He did agree that she was being racist to us and told us that we are not at fault and apologised but told us that we need to leave. We were only trying to buy a couple of simple desserts. The male server had agreed to serve us, and there was no issue until the female server's rude, racist behavior escalated the situation. If she didn't want to serve us, a simple "no" would have sufficed, but instead, we were treated with hostility and thrown out without cause. I am incredibly disappointed by how we were treated, especially considering how respectful and calm we were. This experience was not only rude but also overtly discriminatory. I won't be returning to this location, and I highly recommend that others avoid it as well unless management takes serious action to address the unprofessional and racist behavior of some of their staff. I don't even want to give this place a single star, but I wont be able to post my review without it, therefore I have to. read more

We stopped in after a concert at Fenway for a sweet treat. Good service, clean store, and delicious frappe! There were so many good sounding sundaes and ice cream flavors on the menu but I wanted something easy to walk with so I got a Nutella Frappe. They offered a different base than vanilla but I stuck with the classic. Would have it again! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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.

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! read more

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. read more

J P Licks - Cake batter and brownie batter - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Day light, Robbery. Asked for 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream with peaches as topping. He gave one scoop with a scoop of canned /diced peaches- $7.70 with taxes. So one scoop of vanilla + one scoop of those processed peaches is $8? Went to trader Joe's, bought fresh and frozen peaches, organic whipping cream for $8 Made delicious peaches and cream dessert for the whole family for $8! Never going back to JP. read more

Better than JP Losman's (they lose customers as much as their owner lost football games), JP-a-nese (they just sell Matcha Ice Cream, which gets old - literally, because it's imported from Kyoto), and JV Looks (which are the weird glances and stares I used to get on my Junior Varsity team). But on the whole, I'm not a fan of this chain - and especially not this location. I have to be honest and say that I found the ice cream to be extremely overpriced and the service to be extremely unfriendly - to the point where I almost walked out. I haven't tried this franchise before and after this experience I highly doubt I'll be trying it again. The ice cream wasn't awful, and despite the prices and it being a local chain, I may have given 3 stars, but the service absolutely blew, the guy was really confrontational while also being disinterested and abrasive, and even if it would have been one of my favorite ice cream places, when the price is this high, you really expect the best of everything just to justify it. Mediocre product and the worst service I got in Boston, basically. read more

Me and my friends had just left a concert and we all decided to go get some ice cream. We went to jp licks, the line wasn't too bad when we arrived. I was chatting with my friend in line, but I don't have the best hearing so I missed what one of the workers said to me behind the counter. I said politely "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" and the employee snapped at me and said in a very snarky, overdramatic tone: "I said what can I get for you." She was extremely rude, mumbling under her breath and scoffing the whole time she was making my ice cream (which by the way was a small cup of just regular ice cream, wow your life is so hard!) One of my other friends is sensitive to milk because of her stomach so she was asking about the milk options they have for their frappes, but when she tried asking the worker, she rudely said "I'm not dealing with this tonight" and stormed off like a baby. The lady at the register acted like her attitude was a normal thing and barely ever apologized when we talked to her about her coworker. I have never had this rude of an encounter at any restaurant or ice cream shop in my entire life. The server's name was Caroline. It's not my fault you are still working at an ice cream shop at your grown age, no excuse to treat people like they don't have feelings as well. I have worked in both the retail and food industry for many years, and no matter how bad my day is, I still have morals and would NEVER snap at anyone like that in my life. Do better Caroline! read more

A must visit dessert stop in Boston. I'm not a huge ice cream fiend, but I really loved my root beer float. It really hit the spot. They have a bunch of options as far as flavors and I believe I even saw some dairy free options for my peeps with allergies! Nice! There was a line when I came but it moved very fast. You can tell the service is quick an efficient. Decent price point, good product, fast service. 5/5 read more

I love JP Licks and that I can count on each location to offer up a great product that is consistent. The folks here were super nice which is also consistent at each location I go to. I can always count on their amazing hard fro yo mint chocolate chip - it is DELICIOUS! And fro yo is good for me right? Like a salad? :) My only complaint about this spot - though minor... I needed to use the facilities before heading back out into the night. The line is tight and consistently long - it is roped and keeps two rows of people VERY tightly together so it is nigh impossible to get through to walk to the back of the restaurant which is where most of the seating for the place is and also where the restroom is at. SO, you get through the two rows of line which leads you to the front door completely screwing you from going to sit in the back or using the restroom...without squeezing through the throng of humans vying for their treats. read more

Saw the line for this place and decided to stop here for dessert! While it took awhile to get through the long line, I ordered two root beer floats and the lixwich. So they have sign stating the Lixwich is what they are known for, but when I asked what it was the employee had no clue lol. Even though this happened I still ordered it to try something new- it was an Ice cream cookie sandwich. I ordered it with the pistachio ice cream as center. It was a good size. The pistachio ice cream was really good , lots of pistachios in the ice cream, good flavor and creamy . The root beer floats were good but not a lot of root beer to ice cream ratio. Ended up going to store to buy root beer in order to refill it. Overall a nice treat not worth the 22$ in my opinion. read more

First time trying J.P. Licks and I have to say, the Cookies and Cake Batter Ice Cream is really good. I'm also just a big fan of ice cream in general, but this flavor is everything I can want. Definitely sweet, but not too sweet that I couldn't finish it. The chunks of cookie were very good, but it's not stuffed with them. Not winning for cheapest icecream of the year, but I'd definitely go again to try the other flavors (although I might have found my favorite on the first try). read more

Of course most people don't come here for their vegan ice cream specifically, but for what they had, it was definitely not bad. I tried the non dairy pistachio as well as chocolate. The chocolate was nice and creamy, not too sweet, and the pistachio had a generous amount of actual pistachio pieces. It melted faster than i would expect most vegan ice cream to melt (usually they're icier) but that wasn't a problem cuz I finished it so soon. :) read more

J.P. Licks is owned by Vince Petryk and offers a variety of ice cream and hard and soft yogurt flavors (such as Cookies 'n Cake Batter, Cookie Dough, Pistachio, Myer's Rum Raisin, Butter Cashew, Fruity Pebbles Cereal Milk, Fresh Lime Sherbet, Fresh Lemon Hibiscus, etc.). I ordered Maple Walnut and a cup of hot chocolate. The Maple Walnut was super delicious!!! It had a yummy taste of the maple and generous amount of chopped walnuts, all wonderfully mixed within - no subtleness of flavors here! The hot chocolate, on the other hand, was super disappointing. It was just way too much milk than cocoa, so it just tasted like steamed skim milk T____T I can't believe I fell for the 'best hot chocolate' sign! There are a few tables to enjoy your treat, but most seem to take it to-go. Don't be shy in asking for samples. +Maple Walnut +avoid the hot chocolate!

An okay ice cream place but definitely not work the greater than $5 price tag for a small single scoop cup. We also had bad luck with the employee. He had a major attitude and rolled his eyes when we asked what one of the flavors of the month was. Then we waited for him to offer us a free sample but he didn't so we had to awkwardly ask. With an attitude he gave us a taste, even tho we asked for only one sample for us to share. We didn't like the flavor so we decided to try the Maple Butter Walnut and that flavor was really good! So we ordered a cup of that flavor. The employee took us over to the register and with an attitude, took our money and walked off. Not even telling us where the spoons were. Now he may have assumed we knew where they were but usually they tell you. I say we had bad luck with that employee because there was another employee who seemed much more personable. In fact, we overheard him help the people behind us and he said, and I quote "you can have as many samples as you want." You would have thought the samples came out of our employees paycheck he was so stingy with the samples. And did I mention it wasn't even crowded and there was no one in line behind us so there was no reason for him to rush through us and not offer us any samples. We will try other ice cream locations before returning to this one. read more
