J.P. Licks
About
J.P. Licks in Harvard Square is one of the Boston-area ice cream and coffee shops in the locally owned chain that started in Jamaica Plain in 1981. It serves homemade ice cream and hard frozen yogurt in creative, intensely flavored varieties, along with sundaes, hand-packed ice cream cakes, pastries and coffee. All of the ice cream, yogurt and baked goods are made at the company’s Jamaica Plain store.

Licks has collected more than 300 “Best of” awards from publications such as Boston Magazine and The Boston Globe, and it was named Small Business of the Year by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. New menu items are released periodically, such as recent Piña Colada and S’mores sundaes.
