What People Are Saying About J.P. Licks

Since 1981, we've been making our customers happy with our homemade ice cream and nonfat frozen yogurt. Even our bittersweet hot fudge and butterscotch are made from our unique scratch recipes. We also roast our own coffee at our original Jamaica Plain location (what we call the "Mother Ship;" it's where we make all our ice cream, too). In all our shops, we provide friendly service and a unique environment. We have multiple locations throughout the Boston area. Our newest shops are in Davis Square, Somerville and on Mass Ave in Arlington. Visit our other locations in Jamaica Plain, Back Bay…

In Short – A cow mural, mosaic counter and giant "whirling teacup" combine to yield a whimsical environment. The assortment of ice cream flavors is awe-inspiring--French vanilla-hazelnut, white coffee, maple butter-walnut (there are always a half-dozen soft and nonfat yogurts available as well). Choose from a smorgasbord of toppings, including peppermint patty sprinkles, fresh fruit and Oreo cookies. J.P. Licks also offers a genuine egg cream and a variety of ice cream sodas and floats.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- For those hoping to enjoy their ice cream in a calmer setting, hand-packed pints are available to go
- The Extras:
- A customer favorite is the Cherry Garciaparra ice cream, a direct imitation of the Ben & Jerry's classic flavor named after the Red Sox star shortstop

so good, even if its making me sick
by Keyse , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch
I love the JP location, the fireplace is heaven. Price is a con but it’s also a good thing because I have very little self control when ice cream is involved, especially good ice cream. My favorite flavor is their coconut almond chip...sssoooo gooodddd.
- Pros: fire place, flavors
- Cons: price...of self control

This is the only place, I know of, in Boston to get my favorite bagels: H&H bagels. They apparently ship the dough from NY and bake 'em here. Great coffee too!
- Pros: Bagels, Pastries, Coffee, Ice Cream
- Cons: Lines
