this is my business

Since 1981, we've been making our customers happy with our homemade ice cream and non-fat frozen yogurt. Even our bittersweet hot fudge and butterscotch are made from our unique scratch recipes. We also roast our own coffee in our original, Jamaica Plain location (which is our "Mother Ship" where we make all of our ice cream, too). In all our shops, we provide friendly service and in a very unique environment. We have 8 locations throughout the Boston area. Our newest shops are in Brigham Circle in Mission Hill and in the Hillel House at Boston University. Visit our existing locations in Jamaica Plain, Back Bay Boston, Brookline, Newton Centre and West Roxbury. Experience for yourself why we are the best in Boston. We look forward to seeing you!

Definitely the best ice cream in Boston having tried quite a few different places. I live right by Christina's which isn't too shabby in itself, but JP Licks is still the best. The ice cream is amazingly rich and tasty, and the staff are friendly. They have a good selection of cones, toppings, shakes, what have you. I like the Newbury St. location but they're all pretty good. Check it out, I've never heard anybody who didn't like the ice cream there.

For ice cream, they have truly fantastic coffee oreo and really good rotating flavors (cake batter is not my favorite though...). But their yogurt is really good too -- hard-peanut butter is out of this world, and I love the soft serve (fat free) stuff too -- oreo or even plain old vanilla is perfect.

They lose a star because their prices are not very competitive. Sure you get your "ice cream's worth" when you order 2-3 scoops, but the kiddie size still costs you $3. That's just ridiculous.

Their soft-serve nonfat frozen yogurt is literally the greatest thing to happen to calorie counters set since Weight Watchers. It's so good! Keep up the great work, guys.

I stop by JP Licks at least twice a week. I work at an ice cream shop during the summer on Cape Cod, and this place is definitely up to par in terms of quality and variety.
