“I have been going to JP Licks for years. I was telling the young lady who was serving us. That I use to come to JP Lick when I was in high school. And JP Licks was the only place that made me smile when I was happy, sad , mad or even upset. And their ice cream would cheer me up😃 Thank you JP Licks for always making me smile and also now my kids😃😃😃“

“Frozen Custard!!!!! What more needs to be said?“

“Best ice cream around , is it apple pie ice cream time yet ?“

“Great selection of yummy ice creams! The prices were pretty good and they had options other than ice cream too. The interior is super cute, but the seats up in the front window are a little dingy. Overall we loved our visit!

Parking: There’s a paid parking lot right next to it, but the parking meter didn’t work. We parked without paying but nothing bad happened on a weekend day.“

“Super leckeres Joghurteis in einer riesigen Auswahl, dazu ein riesiges Angebot an Toppings. Super lecker :)“

“Wow. What a gem you have here in Boston. Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. If you ever decide to franchise sign me up.“

“Still great 40 years after first going there! This is the OG flavored waffle cone and mix-ins place before it was even a thing. Quality ice cream, solidly good flavor, nice staff. Don't be fooled by the fancy gelato and Asian ice cream shops... Have the real deal legit quality ice cream here.“

“So incredibly disappointed that yesterday was the last day... FOREVER. It was always a nice treat to walk to on my lunch break.“

“This place is amazing! I love all the toppings that you could put on your yogurt. I really like cookie Monster watermelon swirl with cereal, butterscotch, and sour crawlers on top. I sometimes add flakes of coconut for extra fun. I really thought that the cashier named Thalia was so nice, friendly and welcoming. I think all the people complaining that they didn't have enough $ need to lighten up on the amount of yogurt they take. And not blame the owner for wanting to properly run a business.“

“It’s hard to come across gummy ice cream with give anymore — that’s how you know it’s made from the most creamiest ingredients but Ron’s does a great job at achieving this texture of homemade ice cream and the flavors taste amazing; particularly the banana and cherry vanilla.“

“We really like these cookies. Some flavors more than others. Only problem we have had is that I placed an order online in the morning and scheduled pickup for that evening. When I arrived at the store, 45 minutes away, they were sold out and the store was closed. I had already paid for my order in advance about 10 hours earlier that day. I had to call the manager the next day for a refund. I understand that they had unexpected sales. But if you paid in advance, the order should have been put aside. Despite the situation, the employee and manager were nice and I received my refund.“

“Best Ever!!! Must try delivery available“

“The cold brew floats are my new go to dessert. Highly recommended.“

“Dairy Queen, or as we all love to call it, DQ, is an absolute classic that serves up more than just ice cream—it's pure joy in a cup! This spot is a gem with its super-friendly and lightning-fast staff who make every visit feel like a mini celebration. They've got allergy-friendly options down to an art, so everyone can dig in without a worry. Parking might be a bit of a squeeze, but no worries—side streets have got you covered. And hey, during rush hour, ditch the left turn and swing right into the brand-new roundabout just 100 feet away—smooth sailing ahead!

“Finally, got to try This place. They had soft Opening which was not to best. The ordering process was pretty smooth . The wait was not to long. We got the infamous Sho-Gun Matcha/Vanilla Soft Serve Mix With Edible 24K gold , Maiko Special (Parfait) Hojicha/Strawberry Mix Soft Serve and Matcha Latte Float. Everything was so rich in favor. The matcha favor is probably the best that I had so far. You can taste the quality of the soft serve. It's a bit pricy but worth every penny. Definitely, need to try them out“

“The best icecream � for the hot days in Boston ��“

“I get it at the dessert bar at Whole Foods every time I go to the store!“

“Not only is this a great place to get all your ice cream during those hot days But some of the best fudge in chocolate covered treats in the area as well I personally recommend the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and the Wintergreen chocolate candies“

“Location: use GPS, Then easiest for me was to park on south side of building. Cannot drive along west side of bldg. Entrance around corner, southwest side. Can eat inside , a few small tables.. some picnic tables outside. I think it gets busy based on time of day, season, and if weekday or weekend. About 2 blocks from Norwood center. Selection: both hard and soft serve. Today's pricing average, From kiddie cone, 3 sizes, or dish. Can share the banana splits etc. well done. First time I found it. Will return if in area.

Parking: Near center. Once God gets u to bldg, see other notes.“

“OMG yes! Highly recommend Orange Leaf. The employees are all so professional and kind. They are accommodating and so pleasant when you call. And for the Yogurt and products? OMG THE BEST! My favorite is the no sugar added chocolate yogurt but my hubby's favorite is the strawberry cheesecake shake! He loves the smoothies too but the shake is his fav! Bottom line you have to try them. Their customer service is AMAZING staff are all wonderful and the products are delicious❤❤❤“

“JP Licks is a long standing Ice cream chain throughout the Boston area.

Staff scoop quickly, Ice cream is fresh and tasty. The ice cream is on the expensive side, but is rich in flavor, a bit sweet but not overly sweet, and has a great taste.

They have soft serve options as well as yogurt available, and there are many flavors available for ice cream as well.“

“Soooo many choices! How do you even know what to pick? Help! Lol. Really great. I love the fact that they have so many choices because they have cherry, they have chocolate chip, they have cheesecake, they have cherry chip, they have cherry cheesecake, so do you see where I am going? It's very smart. Have so much more to try.

Only issue and reason for 4 stars is the menu is very large and the print is very small. It is hard for someone with vision issues.“

“I love Crumbl. It definitely satisfies any sweet tooth craving you have. Their cakes have definitely been better than their cookies lately! I would definitely recommend coming to crumbl whenever you’re in the mood for something sweet. But beware sometimes their cookies are under baked.“

“Every year, I drive from Dartmouth to Foxboro just to come and get my favorite ice cream- Love Position #31. Every time I come, the manager and team always are friendly and w a smile 😃. I really appreciate the fast service that I get when I am there.“

“We were recommended Scoop N Scootery by a chef's wife who couldn't stop raving about their sundaes, and I have to admit, it was worth the trip. I'm not usually someone who craves ice cream, but my girlfriend is the opposite, so we had to check it out. The moment we walked in, Harry Potter was playing on the TV, setting a nostalgic and fun vibe right off the bat.

We went for their “Gannondorf” sundae, and it was a showstopper—blueberry ice cream, a brownie base, blueberries, pie crust, and a mountain of whipped cream. It was indulgent, and the quality of the blueberries and toppings really stood out. We’ve already ordered it again because it was that good.

They have an impressive lineup of ice cream and froyo flavors, plus even more tempting sundaes to choose from. My only wish is that they made the ice cream and toppings visible—being able to see what’s available always helps me get in the mood for a treat. The handwritten chalkboard menu is a bit hard to read and feels a bit overwhelming, especially with so many options.

It’s a massive space with very little seating, most of which are bar tops. It would be nice to have some lower tables and create more of a community atmosphere.

Also they’re somehow open till 1am so… go wild you night owls“

“The experience from entering to leaving was pleasant + it’s nice to have a healthy jucie and smoothie bar in the Dorchester / Grovehall area. The owner had a smile and greeted me and my friend at the register, his professionalism was truly great & refreshing, the bar size is decent and the atmosphere is chill with some beautiful wall artwork! I had the Superfoods Green Monster Smoothie added Passionfuit along with the Love Bowl & it was a HIT ?? I think I was the first to mix up my smoothie, and that was owners words, so try it out!!

Kid-friendliness: Open to all sizes, ages, color & creed!
