About a year ago I accompanied some friends to this ice cream shop and I was overwhelmed by the smell of delicious espresso when I walked in the door. I didn't even get ice cream I got a latte instead haha. It was one of the best lattes I've ever had. (I'm not from the Boston area but my husband is a DJ there and DJ'ed the JPLicks holiday party. He shared how much pride they have in their coffee and where they source it from. It all made sense!) So last week when we were in the area I specifically made the trip back to this location. Once again the best mocha latte I've ever had. I'm a coffee connoisseur and this received my highest rating yet! Then once I found out their mocha sauce was made with their own hot chocolate mix I naturally had to snag a bottle of that too! Excellent service, 5 star rating!

J.P. licks is a staple! Get their brownies and brownies ice cream, it's delicious. Service is okay, make sure to have rewards app as well for the points.

Paid almost $9 for a SMALL frozen yogurt. Complete difference between running a business and ripping people off.And yes, I work in wholesale/retail so I’m well aware of how it works. Will never be back/ will tell everyone I know to avoid this place at all costs.

We went to JP Licks South Boston last night (11/21) around 8:30 PM. We were the only people in line (and almost the entire establishment) and the employees were sitting in the back room just staring at us for a bit, which was very awkward. My boyfriend went to order his ice cream, but I asked if they offered pints instead and the girl was so rude and knew nothing about what they actually offered. (I often order JP Licks on Doordash, so I knew a pint was an option.) She said "I have absolutely no idea. Look in the freezer." so as we were looking, she already started scooping into a large cup so we were like okay guess we'll just go with that then... (mind you the cookie dough ice cream had like 2 pieces of cookie dough in it.) My boyfriend then asked a question about coffee offerings and she said "menu's on the wall" and rolled her eyes. Overall, her customer service was absolutely terrible. We were very nice and it wasn't that she wasn't knowledgable, it was that she was so rude and didn't even try to help us. She also basically walked away before the entire transaction was complete. Won't be going back here and will make sure everyone knows that the quality has gone down in both ice cream and customer service.

Delicious ice cream! Lots of different options! They also have great bakery items! I tried a homemade pop tart and it was fantastic!

I really wanted to like this place. I'm visiting from out of state and wanted to get some dessert out here. I decided on this place despite the poor reviews... This establishment is over priced for what it offers. Nothing special as far as ice cream goes. The cookie was a rock in my ice cream. Also, the staff is incredibly rude and seemed annoyed at the fact that we even arrived. None of them offered any help or greeted us. We ended up having to ask another costumer where we even order because the staff behind the counter wouldn't even look at us to be able to even ask them. When we were able to finally order they were super quiet and you could hardly hear them. Overall it was an uncomfortable/poor experience and I would no recommend this place to anyone visiting Boston.

In Boston for work, from Arizona, good service and environment,great 2 scoop hot fudge sundae, thanks ?
Brownie Sunday was awesome. Staff was great even though it was busy on a hot night. Would definitely go back.
Delicious ice cream, cool environment, and friendly staff, but a little pricey.
Best ice cream shop around. JP Licks makes the best ice cream around. 10 out of 10.
Good affogato, but the lady helping my wife seemed determined to take her misery out on others.
