Remember wow doritos? same effect with fat free sugar free yogurt! Ok, too good to be true. I loved the taste but my friend and I felt way too full after a few bites. Plan on visiting the bathroom often in any of the restaurants nearby right after! Go for the real ice cream. I'm sure it's great

A sweet treat on Newbury Street With classic as well as inventive flavors, this is the destination if you?re craving a cone or cup of ice cream on Newbury Street. The topping bar has just as much variety with an array of fruits, candies and other edible accessories. The store is small though, so it can be hard sometimes when it?s busy to find a place to sit.

Awesome Ice Cream There is always a line, though it usually moves quickly. I have never been disappointed with neither the service nor the ice cream. I take all of my out-of-town visitors, and would definitely recommend this place to everyone! Read More On Citysearchuoha 6/29/2008
taste less 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. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 6/23/2008
good ice cream J. P. Licks has good ice cream. The ice cream has great texture and the flavor is good, but not exceptional. The prices are a little high. Read More On Citysearchincambridge 6/8/2008
Best ice cream you'll find in all of Massachusetts Excellent product (i.e. ice cream and even the coffee is great), quick and reliable service, wonderful staff, and a clean environment make this a great spot. I highly recommend it. It doesn't get any better than this. Read More On Citysearchjpl1981 2/12/2008
Great ice cream 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! Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 1/22/2008
Yummy ice cream!!! Love their ice cream!
They can improve on their customer service and their employees and especially managers should stop being so lazy (ie; stop socializing with each other when you see a line of customers waiting to be served) Newbury street location has the worse customer service.

Delicious Ice Cream 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. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 8/4/2006
The Best Ice Cream in Boston! 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 deco... Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 10/6/2005
Don't bother. It's not what it once was. 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 oz. for small, 8 oz. for medium and 11 oz for large. They actually weighed the cone on a scale before handing it to you. I was half done with my medium cone by the time we got to the e... Read More On Citysearchapxh314 8/11/2005

Becoming a Boston Staple J.P licks are popping up everywhere, and for a good reason. In my pre-lactose days, a daily trip for there amazing yogurt was essential. The every-changing flovors is a great perk, because you will always get something good. Now a days, my favorites have become lemon sorbet or the world best raspberry lime rickey. I must have if you have never tried it. Read More On Citysearchlmuellne 8/26/2002
overpriced but worth the long rate 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.

Gotta get my licks in I absolutely love JP Lick's not just on Newbury St. but in JP, Brookline, Newton, I wish they would open one in Brighton closer to my home. The Coffee Oreo is the best I have ever tasted, Coconut almond chip and Peanut butter chip are also favorites. The atmosphere is laid back and the lines are out the doors but you always get served with in minutes. Read More On Citysearchburkster4 7/30/2002

Licking their way to the top. I'm down with J. P. Licks. I think I've put on something like 25 pounds since moving to Boston and J. P. Licks is probably 25% responsible. Moooo've over Toscanini's. Read More On Citysearchbofc 7/18/2002
