While visiting Boston, we went on a late night hunt for dessert and ended up at JP Licks purely…read morebecause the name made us laugh. Turns out, it absolutely lived up to the hype. I went with two scoops, black raspberry and brownie chocolate, and the brownie was killer. Rich, chocolatey, and totally worth standing outside in 30 degree weather to eat it. I devoured it without hesitation. There were so many great flavor options, and my friends all found something they loved too. It felt like one of those classic, must-stop dessert spots. Cold, delicious, and just the right amount of chaotic fun... it was wicked good.

Stopped here for ice cream the other day! I love the location of this JP licks, it's the perfect…read morespot to hit after an esplanade sunset. There was plenty of seating inside and we had no trouble finding an open spot to sit down and enjoy our ice cream. There also wasn't a line which was really nice! My boyfriend got the mint chip in a waffle cone, and I got the salted caramel cookies n creme in a cup with sprinkles on it. While I do usually prefer my ice cream order to my boyfriends....i do have to admit that I liked his more. Don't skip the waffle cone like I did. Definitely a great stop to add to your day in boston! The flavors are always great, and there's seasonal flavors which rotate that are always fun to try.

The cherry flavor is unique but works with the drink! Only thing- it smelt strongly of cigarettes in the shop which was kinda unpleasant. Overall, good coffee & matcha too!

It's good for a quick coffee pick-up before work, but I'm not entirely sure I'd return again. The…read morecoffee was fairly decent & reasonably priced. My drink was a bit sweeter than I would like, but it was still good overall. I'm not really a fan of the ambiance. The baristas were kind, but I felt a bit uncomfortable & unwanted at the establishment. I intended to do a little work while sipping on coffee, but I felt like I was invading the space, so I ended up leaving after an hour because I was so uncomfortable. People came in and out to "do work" and would awkwardly leave after 30 minutes because the establishment didn't have accessible internet to customers. It's pretty clear this isn't really a "study spot" if that's what you're looking for. It's really more of an "on-the-go" vibe.

Came here for a quick lunch and it did not disappoint! The chicken in my sandwich was cooked…read moreperfectly and had a great sauce on it. The milk bun as the bread was also a nice touch. Since I was in Boston, I definitely needed a slice of Boston creme pie. It was delicious! I would love to try their coffees and other pastries next time I come by :) Lines get long for lunch and things do sell out quickly so plan on either waiting or coming a bit earlier. There is seating upstairs and downstairs but it does get filled pretty quickly.

Therefore, there were groups clamoring for the few tables that were inside. However, service was very friendly and the food options were delicious. Pastries and breakfast sandwiches are standouts and I particularly liked the avocado toast - a large portion avocado on very good bread with a variety of accompaniments. Pricing was reasonable and it's helpful to be able to order at the kiosk but as first timers it made it slightly confusing. We sat upstairs and it helped make things more relaxing as it was less crowded and plenty of room. I think this location is serving the hospital so I suspect it's always very busy.

Quick service (and friendly when we had questions). They have outdoor seating on a patio and a few tables inside. Outside is fun for people watching as this location is right on the main area into the park and many cute shops in Beacon Hill. It does get sunny though so on a hot day inside is a nice respite. Fresh and quality ingredients everywhere (and leading to their price point). I would definitely visit again for breakfast or lunch or any time in between. Just looking at their bakery case made my mouth water.

Was missing my New York lox bagel so got this... was fire although bread was interesting. Felt like a baguette vibe and was too buttery. In case u didn't know I hate the taste of butter. Other than that fireeee I love poached eggs. Cold brew was also good although the orange taste wasn't there as much as I thought. Service was very quick and drinks and pastries were almost instantaneous like always!!

The vegetable frittata was delicious--fresh, satisfying, and a perfect light breakfast. We also shared a scone with fruit jam, which was very well made. Scones are highly subjective, but this one was exactly the style I enjoy: flavorful without being overly sweet. I didn't try the coffee myself, but my partner really enjoyed hers, which isn't surprising given Thinking Cup's reputation as one of Boston's standout coffee shops. Between the welcoming atmosphere, quality food, and excellent location on Newbury Street, I'd definitely return the next time I'm in Boston.
