The Milky Side of Dessert
ByJP Licks
Few people would argue that JP Licks is a staple of quality when it comes to Boston deserting. But what impresses me most about it, is its ability to turn even an ardent ice cream hater like myself into a dairy craving fiend.
I’m the girl that automatically reaches for a cookie or a brownie when offered dessert, something with some substance behind it that I can bite into and fill my stomach with. That was before I discovered the oatmeal cookie flavored amazingness of JP Licks. This creamy cup of perfection is the sweet dairy version of America’s classic oatmeal cookie that literally melts in your mouth, leaving you excited for the sweet aftertaste of oats and sugar.
And if that doesn’t get you salivating than the Oreo cookie dough or cappuccino crunch will. Or if you’re feeling really adventurous there’s actually a fresh basil and sundried tomato flavor. I did try this, not my cup of tea, but surprisingly not totally awful.
The brick stone café styled venue is brimming with ice cream lovers, families, writers blogging their little hearts away by the large glass windows, and friends sitting on thick brown leather couches churning thoughts over cappuccinos and cupcakes. Made fresh daily in eight locations throughout the greater Boston area, JP Licks can turn even the most devoted cookie lover over to the milky side of dessert.
