Coolidge Corner, Brookline, MA
Crema's Take
“JP Licks is a Brookline institution with a loyal following, especially among locals who appreciate it as the perfect pit stop after catching a movie at the nearby Coolidge Theatre or grabbing dinner in the neighborhood. Beyond their signature ice cream, they've earned recognition for creative drinks served in thoughtful ways and a versatile vibe that welcomes both quick coffee runs and lingering hangouts, with solid outdoor seating for those sunny Coolidge Corner days. While service can be inconsistent, the shop's central location and genuine community presence make it a reliable go-to for dessert cravings and specialty drinks.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
