What People Are Saying About J.P. Licks
The Owner
J.P. Licks
Owner
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.

Good Ice-cream when your in west Newton.
by jazzkingrt at Citysearch
Much better than it's neighboring competitor and chain Coldstone creamery. They are very creative, have a big notice board so you can read all about yoga classes and some college student who gives meditation sessions, and the actual Ice-cream is very good. One I recommend: Cow Tracks.
- Pros: The Ice cream.
- Cons: Their are none.

Best Ice Cream in Newton Centre
by smile98 at Citysearch
Although other competition has moved into Newton Centre (e.g., Cold Stone), JP Licks is still the best ice cream in Newton Center. My favorite is the oreo coffee ice cream. They make great ice cream cakes too!

Incredible Homemade Ice Cream
by sameerhansen at Citysearch
Fantastic homemade ice cream -- Always fresh, always new flavors.
Recently they experimented with Tabasco, "diablo" and cucumber flavors -- but they always have your classics as well. Shakes are great, people are friendly and their coffee is a wonderful alternative to the major three chains in Boston.
- Pros: Easy parking, Customer service, Clean
- Cons: Busy in summer
