The Best Ice Cream in Massachusetts | Eater Boston
"Jamaica Plain’s famous ice cream chain was “accidentally” founded by a 26-year-old in 1981; owner Vince Petryk fell into ice cream-making by working as an ice cream shop dishwasher after graduating college with a psychology degree. What he had once thought of as a temporary job became his life as he moved up the ladder and ultimately opened his own place. There are now more than a dozen locations around the Boston area. J.P. Licks serves hard ice cream and yogurt, tart soft frozen yogurts, frappes, sundaes, cakes, and more. Keep an eye out for new seasonal special flavors each month. Sample flavors: fresh mint, brownie brownie batter, mint cookies ‘n’ cream, sweet cream, coconut almond chip" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
