J.P. Licks

Known by most Boston-area locals due to their various locations, JP Licks sells some of the best ice cream around. What many often overlook is the house-roasted coffee and variety of breakfast options also available to customers. The original location sits in the heart of Jamaica Plain on Centre Street and features both indoor and outdoor seating options. Ice cream varieties range from your standard chocolate and vanilla to staff created options that change regularly. 

It's pretty clear that JP Licks is a favorite for ice cream, The house-roasted coffee isn’t just good for grabbing there, it has become a favorite amongst neighbors who pick up a weekly bag of ground or whole-bean coffee to enjoy at home.

Perhaps the best treats at JP Licks are their ice cream cakes, available in standard sizes or as custom-orders for larger parties. These amazing creations are perfect for your next party or event at the office.

It's clear that the staff not only loves working at JP Licks, but also the neighborhood as a whole, which is evident in the interview we did with a local who started as a scooper and worked her way up! Check it out:
