J.P. Licks
About
J.P. Licks in Jamaica Plain is the original home of the Boston ice cream chain, founded in the neighborhood in 1981 and still owned and operated by its founder. The JP store is also where the company makes its homemade ice cream, hard yogurt, hand-packed ice cream cakes and pastries, all served with the stated intention of helping customers make happy memories. The company roasts its own coffee as well.
From that first shop, the business has grown to 16 stores across Greater Boston while remaining a Boston business. It describes itself as an ice cream maker, a coffee roaster, an institution, a fair employer and a good neighbor, and it has won more than 300 “Best” awards. New items are added periodically, such as recent Piña Colada and S’mores sundaes, and gift cards can be registered to collect rewards points.
