Jake SmithApril 14, 2014Don't sleep on the sorbet. I had the Orange Irish, and was delightfully surprised at how much flavor was packed into each spoonful.
I live for every July, when Fresh Cucumber ice cream reappears on the menu. (I bide my time during the rest of the year with Cookies 'n' Cake Batter.)
Amazing ice cream and coffee, but, surprisingly, their tart frozen yogurt is also very good! I prefer it to iYO and Orange Leaf.
Minnie KimSeptember 18, 2014The oatmeal cookie hard yogurt is a less guilty way of satisfying your sweet tooth :)
Anonymous, since 2018June 19, 2020Great choice of ice-cream flavors (including a couple of vegan options). However, the prices are very high compared to alternatives.
Daniel WolfAugust 7, 2014The hot fudge is excellent, and very rich. Try it over some coconut almond or cappuccino crunch. Or both.
Aimee GoudasMarch 29, 2015They roast their own coffee. And I get the peanut butter sundae...it's gluten free!
I'm very partial to both the cookies & cake batter and the brownie batter
JuanitaJune 25, 2016Cape codder (sp?) sorbet was delicious. It has vodka but you can't even taste it.
Get a chipwich - tasty cookies and cheaper than a small ice cream. If they're not busy, they'll make them special with whatever flavor ice cream and cookies you want.
- FavecastNovember 15, 2013Casey is enjoying his oreo ice cream at J.P. Licks, and wants to share it with you. Check out his Favecast recommendation here- http://www.favecast.com/jkLPUW18oB
The El Diablo - chocolate ice cream with cinnamon and chile pepper - comes into season around February. GET IT WHILE IT'S HOT.
Here's a first day of Spring special for you...ask for a hot fudge sundae made with thin mint ice cream. Yes it is Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie ice cream. You'll thank me
Leah KJune 21, 2012They have an amazing selection of flavours and both hard and soft frozen yoghurt!
JackieOctober 20, 2014I was excited to try it but maybe I got the wrong flavors (cream stout and mint chip hard yogurt) because I don't believe this lived up to its hype.
Rese RuffinApril 9, 2015Nothing like blasting music and the rudest cashier I've ever encountered at a usually friendly JP Licks. Thanks for ruining what was supposed to be a relaxing break for a treat.
Alex KasemirMay 10, 2016In terms of unique, fancy flavored ice cream places. This place is just ok, you can do better
Dependably tasty ice cream. Mint oreo frappe makes me smile.
Dan RovetoNovember 7, 2011The peanut butter yogurt is amazingly like ice cream and won't make you fat.
The kowlua flavor is delicious. It's only for a limited time though.
- Brownie brownie batter frappe with peanut butter sauce. Mmm!
Abdulhakim SabrJuly 2, 2017The worset Ice cream I've ever had, the toppings are expired, the taste is bad. I don't recommend you to visit at all.
GoNowGoMarch 19, 2010I'll never get why it's only a seasonal flavor, but it's March and Mocha Chip is back HOORAY!
Meg MSeptember 8, 2011Hot? Should probably get some ice cream. Take a seat outside, there's a 40% chance that a hoedown is happening.
Peanut butter cookie dough, when it's here, makes me oh so happy inside.
