Message from J.P. Licks
Popular local chain delivers premium ice cream and other frozen treats.
Since 1981, we've been making our customers happy with our homemade ice cream and nonfat frozen yogurt. Even our bittersweet hot fudge and butterscotch are made from our unique scratch recipes. We also roast our own coffee at our original Jamaica Plain location (what we call the "Mother Ship;" it's where we make all our ice cream, too). In all our shops, we provide friendly service and a unique environment. We have multiple locations throughout the Boston area. Our newest shops are in Davis Square, Somerville and on Mass Ave in Arlington. Visit our other locations in Jamaica Plain, Back Bay Boston, Brookline, Newton Centre and West Roxbury and experience for yourself why we are the best in Boston. We look forward to seeing you. -- Vince Petryk, Founder

Man! I love and miss JP licks. Since moving to Columbus OH, I have come across no ice-cream as good as theirs! JP licks serves a GREAT selection of delicious ice-cream concoctions! It was a great family spot of ours during summer evenings, I don't know if me or the kids enjoyed it more! The prices are real high, but it was worth it for an occasional trip there. You get what you pay for!

This is a great ice cream shop in downtown Boston. They offer all the usual flavors along with many unique flavors that are worth a try. Located right outside of the shop is a spot right in the middle of the square with picnic tables and public performers. This is a great place to go after a meal in Boston or after a movie at Lowes.
