J.P. Licks Offers Coffee for a Buck at Harvard Square Store During January

J.P. Licks, the homemade ice cream café with eight shops in and around Boston, will offer patrons a small cup of fresh brewed coffee for $1 at their Harvard Square store through January 31st.

All of J.P. Licks’ coffee is made from fair-trade and organic beans that they roast at their flagship store in Jamaica Plain.

The Harvard Square store, which opened in June, did a brisk trade this summer and is hoping to continue in the same fashion through the colder months with “warmer” offerings such as coffee. The $1 coffee promotion is meant to create more awareness of the new store itself and all that J.P. Licks has to offer – from special blend coffees to a full Espresso Bar, hot chocolate and fresh baked treats including muffins, breads, scones and cookies.

J.P. Licks is located at 1312 Mass Ave., Cambridge. The store is open daily from 6 a.m. to midnight. For more information, visit jplicks.com.
