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 Boston, Brookline, Newton Centre and West Roxbury and experience for yourself why we are the best in Boston. We look forward to seeing you. -- Vince Petryk, Founder
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...

While I don't like the ice cream here quite as much as Emack's the frozen yogurt is in my opinion the best in the city. That's not to say that the ice cream isn't delicious too (it is). The sheer…

Probably my favorite. It is slowly losing "street cred" with the cool crowd as they open more stores, but I think the product is as good as ever. The ice cream and the yogurt are both great.

Tonight we stopped in and got two cones. The cones were filled using a tiny scoop (about the size of a jumbo marble) which allowed the scooper to gradually build the cone to the precise weight for each size, 5...

They make cucumber-flavored ice cream that still tastes good. That's enough for me.

Very very good icecream. Consistent. Prices are comparable to other ice cream places. Stroller friendly, booths to sit in, lots of flavors. Neato teacup to sit in. Nice and peppy servers.

JP Licks is a great ice cream shop. I'd rank it equal with Ben and Jerry's in taste, but when you factor in the local connection and the more authentic atmosphere it beats BJ's by a mile.

JP Licks is the best place for ice cream. Some of their flavors are, uh, creative, but if they're not popular, they're off the menu quickly. Anything you think should be good as an ice cream flavor…

By far the best ice cream/frozen yogurt in Boston. But the portions keep gettting smaller and stingier while the prices go up and up. The long line moves quickly though.
