J.p. Licks - Cambridge

Great ice cream where small serving is not small by any standard measure (expect each serving to be 1.5-2 times regular size). Texture is a bit soft smooth and the flavor pretty good, all at great prices. Definitely recommend as I was by everyone I met from Boston/Cambridge. They do allow sampling. They are essentially a cafe and ice cream shop merged together. They also sell coffee, soft serve, few dairy free options, pastries (savory too), cupcakes, milkshakes, ice cream cakes and sandwiches etc.

I tried the mango peach sundae and pistachio ice cream at this restaurant. Both were of very good quality. I have no complaints. The prices were a little on the high side, but the servings were large and the staff was friendly. It was a nice place to relax and cool down after a hot day.

A delightful ice cream and froyo place just next to Harvard yard.

This doesn't need a rating! I usually stop by for a cup of frozen yogurt! So tasty!

After a nice morning exploring Harvard, J.P. Licks was the perfect choice for our family. Our child enjoyed a scoop of black raspberry and sharkleberry fin sorbet, diving in immediately and loving every bite. My husband opted for a double scoop affogatto, which he found delicious and just what he needed after arriving in town on a red eye flight. We shared a banana split with my parents, featuring mint cookies and cream, coffee, and coconut almond chip ice cream topped with strawberries, almond pieces, whipped cream, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. The coffee ice cream had the taste of a frozen cafe au lait, while the coconut almond chip was surprisingly tasty without being too overpowering on the coconut flavor. The mint cookies and cream ice cream was a hit, with a refreshing mint taste that wasn't overwhelming. The standout element of the banana split was the whole strawberries, a unique and enjoyable addition to the dessert.
