Great place for young and old a like! Fabulous ice cream cones! Made with love every day! First one to invent the cone and the machine is still being used today! All their desserts are fabulous, you can’t go wrong on any of them...hand crafted right inside the diner! You can eat inside or in your car, they come to you! It’s always been our to go place, but we go more often now because of COVID-19!!! It’s a family run business passed down for many generations. Why are you still reading! Get to Doumar’s!! 💕🧜‍♀️

Just doesn’t get any better than a limeade and a barbecue with fries from doumars. And then the lime sherbet in the doumars cone tops it off 🥰
