Popular Boston-area bakery to open in former space of famous ice cream chain
A popular Boston-area bakery chain will take over a store that a famous local ice cream company occupied for more than 20 years .
Flour Bakery and Café will open in the former space of J.P. Licks at One Brigham Circle on Tremont Street in Boston in January 2026, chef and co-owner Joanne Chang wrote in an Instagram post Saturday.
"We are extraordinarily grateful for our dedicated, amazing team for getting us to the point of opening Flour ELEVEN," Chang wrote. "Thank you Team Flour - WE LOVE YOU! To our incredible guests, we can't wait to see you there!!!! Thank you for supporting us for the last 25 years."
Flour opened its first bakery in the South End in 2000, according to the company's website. Led by Chang, who is a James Beard Award-winning pastry chef, Flour now has 10 locations in Boston and Cambridge.
Flour most recently took over the Boston Common Concession Pavilion earlier this year . The stand started selling soft serve sundaes inspired by Flour's pastries, including the Sticky Bun and the Chunky Lola Cookie.
Flour plans on serving soft serve at the brand's newest location in addition to their signature items such as sticky buns, egg sandwiches and BLTs.
"After falling in love with making soft serve at Flour Boston Common, we jumped when offered the opportunity to take over the former JP Licks space at One Brigham Circle," Chang wrote in the post.
The space at One Brigham Circle was occupied by J.P. Licks since June 2004. The store closed for good on June 25.
