J.p. Licks Newton Centre

Look up totally effing inept in Wikipedia, and you 'll come up with J.P. Licks, Newton Centre. Head there on a chilly evening, when you think things might be calm, and you 'll find a line of covid-spewing teens going right out the door, each one taking longer than the next to decide which flavor might do the best job of clogging up his or her arteries. To make matters worse, there 's another herd of equally inept (auto-fill suggested infected, which would also be accurate) teens behind the counter, taking their own sweet time to fulfill the orders.

JP Licks is a classic ice cream Boston staple. This was my first time trying so I had some high expectations. I got a strawberry in their 'kiddy ' size which is the smallest size available. It was $4.55 after Tax which I felt was a bit expensive given the size of the ice Cream. The strawberry was creamy and had a light strawberry flavor. I will come back and try some of their other items. I also like how they have lots of available outdoor seating

Pros: Huge portions. I ordered a kiddie and am pretty sure I received a half pint. Fun monthly flavors (Pandan and Ube this month) Cons: Haven 't found a flavor I 've really liked yet... Salted Caramel Cookies 'n ' Cream (Kiddie for $4.47) Marketed as salted caramel ice cream with crushed cookies, but it was more like salty cookies cream ice cream. I was hoping there would be a caramel swirl but alas there was not.

JP Licks is an overall decent ice cream spot with tons of locations in the Boston area! The ice cream isn't super rich in my opinion, and that does hit the spot sometimes. Since they're just about everywhere you can stop by easily. I got their pumpkin custard and enjoyed it although I do wish there would've been some sorta crunch in it! Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch

Loved the clear and loud voice the girls here used to speak over the hum of the freezers. To celebrate JP Lick's anniversary, I got a few pints of the ube ice cream. Easy in and out with the goodies. Fresh and local ice cream, support local! Make sure you get a rewards card! Tons of street parking in this area.

Friendly staff, let me sample some flavors before I decided on a scoop of pistachio ice cream. It ended up being more than the cost listed on the menu board (maybe because it's a gluten free flavor? which was a bit annoying that it wasn't listed but it tasted great so I was happy.

Raised prices again and have started hiding the kiddie cups so you'll only see them if you really scour the menu or ask :

A good staple ice cream shop in Newton. Loved my first try of the vegan Madagascar vanilla.
