J.P. Licks prides itself on being a homemade ice cream cafe, offering a variety of flavorful ice creams and frozen yogurts in a multitude of flavors. The huge menu is handwritten on the wall behind the counter, adding a personal touch to this quirky local ice cream shop. Located in the center of Davis Square, J.P. Licks is a tiny joint bursting with big flavor. Each ice cream sold here is made with ingredients that can be found at Whole Foods, the ice cream is not processed like many other ice creams. This simple method of creating ice creams provides customers with tasty, fresh treats. The flavors here are constantly changing, because the ice cream is made according to which ingredients are in season. In addition to regular ice cream, J.P. Licks provides lactose free and NutraSweet options. Also featured on the menu are smoothies, frappes, and MooLatas, which are frozen blended coffee drinks. Further, J.P. Licks is proud to serve Fair Trade and Organic certified coffee, which it roasts itself.
