J.P. Lick's

I find their ice cream bland and taste less, I found their version of oreo ice cream was like eating ice cream mixed with dirt, it was the worst tasting ice cream I have ever had.

i think this place is better than cold stone simply because it has a home-made feel. the toppings are OK, but the ice cream is the treat here. plain vanilla does it for me!

On a hot summer day, there is nothing better than an ice cream cone from J.P. Licks. They have a variety of flavors. There is usually a line in the summer, but the friendly staff keep it moving quickly.

If you love ice cream this is the place to go. I bring all of my out of town guests here for a Boston treat and they always leave pleased (and full!). It is conveniently located right around the corner from the Hines Convention Center T stop. Once you enter, it feels like a cross between an old style ice cream shop and a kids playground. There are cow murals everywhere and the counter is decorated like a cow. For kids, there is a cool amusement ride booth to sit and enjoy their ice cream. For others, there are seats and booths. The staff are always friendly and will let you taste any flavor that you are curious about. They have the wafer, sugar and waffle cones as well as all of the many sundaes you can crave. A long list of yummy ice cream makes it tough for me to decide what will be the flavor(s) of the day but I manage. We love to get a huge waffle cone each and walk down Newbury while enjoying it. The ice cream and yogurt is absolutely incredible and we found out recently while relatives were visiting that they even have lactose intolerant ice cream! It was a win for my family!! Highly recommended!

PROS: Ice cream, they accept CC's as well as cash, location
CONS: No drive through :) - nothing negative to say!
