There was just a short line when we got there, which gave us time to review their many flavors options. There was just line move quick and before we knew it we were at the front and the pressure was on. As a big fan of Oreos/cookies and creams I was intrigued by the multiple flavors of cookies and cream that started with a different base than the typical vanilla ice cream. I went with the salted caramel cookies and creams, and was glad I did. Absolutely delicious! There is some inside seating but not much. It seems most take theirs to roam and shop at other stores. Overall, it was a tasty visit, with some unique flavors, friendly staff even in the hectic atmosphere. Pricing was a bit, I'm sure due to their rent, but with 5 other cookies and cream variations, I'll definitely be stopping in next time I'm in the area again!

P. Licks scattered around Metro Boston, so if you live out here the odds are excellent you've been to one and know what they sell. But if you live outside of Boston (like I do) the odds are pretty good you're not familiar with them, as I was not. So, here's a word of advice, if you have plans on visiting one for the first time, you really ought to do yourself a favor and scrutinize their menu before you visit. Otherwise, you'll be gawking at their incredible menu board for half an hour. You'll have to whittle down your selection between hard and soft ice creams, hard and soft yogurts, frappes, smoothies, sundaes, splits, ice cream cakes and pies and sandwiches and cupcakes, a coffee bar and a bakery with scones, coffee cake, muffins, cookies, pop tarts, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, bagels, croissants, and more. Everything is listed on a long menu board that spans the full-size ordering counter, so it's not very easy to see everything unless you strut the length of the counter, so that's why I suggest a little reconnaissance. Our grand kiddies wanted hot chocolates, so we got them a small ($3.75) and a medium ($4.25). They drank them up, but I did mooch one sip and loved it - deep chocolate flavor and not overpoweringly sweet. My wife and I returned to our Bronx roots and shared a chocolate egg cream ($5.90) and it was as good as I remember getting at our soda shop under the elevated D Train subway tracks on Jerome Avenue. Just a perfect blend of carbonated chocolate milk. Quite a wonderful flashback.

Service is always great. They're always positive and really quick, even when it's busy (often) or close to closing. The shop itself is cute, bright, clean, and there is always a lot of laughter as people sit around and eat their treats. It's tucked in a little strip mall across from the High School, and there's a decent amount of seating given the small space. Five stars, would absolutely recommend.

The anticipation waiting in line coupled with the overwhelming anxiety of needing to pick your flavor before holding up other excited patrons and then being whisked away into the sugar-fueled bliss that is a child attempting to quickly consume and not spill a multi-faceted treat of equal parts chocolate, caramel, cookie, and happiness. So many things have changed but the Bubbling Brook remains. A hallmark of only the summer months. Its opening is the starter-pistol for hot days that push the winter New England months so far into your rear-view mirror, they are indistinguishable, small as sprinkles, from the vantage of sitting on the tailgate of a 1980 Chevy Impala, making a mess and not caring a bit. The encapsulation of my youth is now an expensive five minutes, as the prices seem to have climbed to where the bill you are handing the college kid, scooping their thousandth dollop of the day, better have Andrew Jackson on it, and he had better have a friend or two nearby, depending on the size of your party and whether sprinkles are the critical component to recapture 1987.
