Mad they shrunk their pints but their ice cream is delicious!

Pricey, but worth it. Some of the best ice cream around!The cookies and cake batter is unique!The myer rum raisin (real rum) is delightful!The coffee cookies and cream is perfect!

I come to this location regularly for my ice cream. I wanted to comment, though, that I had wonderful experience being served by Reverly (not sure if I got the spelling correct). She was kind and polite throughout the entire time of serving me! And the ice cream…that was great too!

Jp licks is so good. I visit at least once a week. So many options. Try for your self you will be back.

$10 for a medium soft serve ice cream. Huge rip off. Decent ice cream

I loved the pumpkin cheesecake ice cream! I wish they had more seating available inside.

Pretty good ice cream in a range of flavors, including, occasionally, cocktail favors like margarita. My favorite flavor ever is their brandied cherry chocolate this past fall. Taste bud bliss. They have a steady menu of flavors, plus a rotating monthly selection of special flavors. Scoopers are almost always friendly, and sometimes generously heavy-handed with portions. Their ice cream is certified kosher, if that matters to you. They even sell Cheryl Anne challah now and then. They also do coffee drinks, and ice cream sandwiches, cupcakes and can do ice cream cakes.You can earn cow points, their reward system, with the app or card which you can get from them, and if you eat ice cream often - it gets me through winter blues - you can rack up rewards pretty quickly. $5 for every $50 you spend, I believe. My only beef is sometimes it seems a full half of their flavors are variations of cookies and cream, which seems to be Boston's number one most loved ice cream flavor, but how many variations of it do we need? They have art by local artists on the walls, a different artist each month. This is a Boston chain, with a very local feel. All in all a fun ice cream shop.

Great espresso. Great I've cream.

Got a really nice cake from here for my friends birthday. They were kind enough to write his name on the cake. Great service!
