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

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.

Key Points

  • Ice Cream and Nonfat Yogurt
  • Fast and Friendly Service
  • Many "Best of Boston" Awards

The Inside Scoop

  1. 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
  2. Know Before You Go - For those hoping to enjoy their ice cream in a calmer setting, hand-packed pints are available to go

I like how JP licks has different flavors each month in addition to the normal flavors. The staff has always been helpful, and the portions are decent. I much prefer JP Licks to a chain.

I definitely recommend...

by Jenn H.

I like the cow decor and the large variety of flavors. Try the peanut better soft serve... it's the best! The prices are a little high, but not too bad.
