★★★★☆ 4.0 Christine P · Jun 2025

Had the dairy free chocolate and the peanut butter chip. Both delicious… but even better together. The shop was clean and spacious. Staff were so so. Not friendly. But not rude. Seemed really annoyed when they needed to look up my cow card number.

Great service, decent flavors, commodious seating for little ones.

About a year ago I accompanied some friends to this ice cream shop and I was overwhelmed by the smell of delicious espresso when I walked in the door. I didn't even get ice cream I got a latte instead haha. It was one of the best lattes I've ever had. (I'm not from the Boston area but my husband is a DJ there and DJ'ed the JPLicks holiday party. He shared how much pride they have in their coffee and where they source it from. It all made sense!) So last week when we were in the area I specifically made the trip back to this location. Once again the best mocha latte I've ever had. I'm a coffee connoisseur and this received my highest rating yet! Then once I found out their mocha sauce was made with their own hot chocolate mix I naturally had to snag a bottle of that too! Excellent service,

My favorite place to get ice cream, and good coffee as well.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ian Lever · May 2025

Delicious ice cream and friendly service. Appreciated that even adults could get kiddie sizes. The cake batter and cookies and cream flavor was delish; though I was hoping for that cereal milk type flavor to be available.
