Big Pink Donut!

Straight from the playful world of Dog Man: The Musical at the Emerson Colonial Theatre, our newest flavor is as bold and fun as the show itself.

Big Pink Donut is a swirl of sweet strawberry ice cream packed with soft donut pieces, rainbow sprinkles, and a luscious frosting ripple in every bite. It’s colorful, over-the-top, and totally irresistible.

Catch it while it lasts, and don’t miss Dog Man: The Musical!

Introducing Green Dream !

Now scooping: Green Dream, a limited-time flavor created in collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to celebrate their Framing Nature: Gardens and Imagination exhibit.

This one-of-a-kind ice cream features a half-and-half blend of matcha and hibiscus, bringing together earthy, lightly nutty green tea with the bright, tangy sweetness of hibiscus. The result is a refreshing, subtly floral flavor that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Inspired by nature and designed to delight, Green Dream is available starting today (happy first day of Spring!) for a limited time. Come experience it while it lasts!

Girl Scout Cookie Ice Cream is Back!

A huge thank you to the local Girl Scout troops who helped supply the cookies that made our Thin Mint and Caramel Delite ice cream flavors possible this month. These flavors are running all month long, while supplies last, and they’re always in high demand! We also want to give a big shout-out to the Girl Scout troops who have been selling cookies outside our stores. We love having you here, and you’re always welcome at J.P. Licks. Thanks for helping us turn an iconic cookie season into something extra sweet for our community!

New Latin-Inspired Flavors!

We’re thrilled to introduce three brand-new Latin-inspired ice cream flavors that blend tradition, bold ingredients, and creamy indulgence. First up is Xtabentún (ish-tah-ben-toon) Coffee, a rich coffee ice cream infused with our housemade twist on the classic Yucatán liqueur—featuring notes of honey and anise for a smooth, spiced finish. Next, meet Spiced Plantain, a buttery brown sugar ice cream swirled with caramelized plantains and warm spices like cinnamon, clove, and anise—it’s cozy, complex, and totally crave-worthy. And finally, our Tres Leches ice cream is a tribute to the iconic dessert, complete with soaked cake pieces and a velvety base made with condensed and evaporated milk. Each one is bold and crafted to transport you with every bite.

Mission Hill Update

After more than 20 wonderful years serving the Mission Hill community, J.P. Licks has officially closed our location at One Brigham Circle following the end of our lease. We are deeply grateful for the many memories and the loyal customers who've supported us throughout the years. Mission Hill will always hold a special place in our hearts, and though we'll miss being part of this vibrant neighborhood, we warmly invite our patrons to visit us at any of our other 16 locations across Greater Boston. Thank you for the decades of scoops, smiles, and community.

Levain à La Mode

It's not often you can enjoy our ice cream anywhere other than in one of our stores but that's about to change! Levain Bakery will be scooping up our Vanila Ice Cream in their Back Bay and Seaport bakeries this summer as the perfect scoop in their Levain à la Mode! Combine any Levain cookie and our vanilla ice cream for a summer treat that can't be beat!
