J.P. Licks
About
J.P. Licks on Central Street in Wellesley Square is a neighborhood outpost of the Boston ice cream chain founded by Vincent Petryk in 1981. It serves ice cream, hard yogurt and soft serve, plus dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan flavors, which can be made into sundaes, frappes or cakes for any occasion. The shop also has a full espresso bar, with coffee made from beans roasted at the company’s own headquarters.
The ice cream, cakes and pastries are made at the chain’s original Jamaica Plain store, and fresh baked goods are served daily. New items are added periodically, recently including Piña Colada and S’mores sundaes. Gift cards are suggested as party, wedding and shower favors, and recipients can register them to collect rewards points. Customers who opt into the Lix Fix newsletter receive surprise rewards and birthday treats.
