About this business

Many believe that Abe Doumar, founder of Doumar's Cones & Barbecue, gave the world its first ice cream cone. Doumar was a traveling salesman retailing paperweights at the famous St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.

As a Virginia native, I've been here more times than I can count! I live in Massachusetts now, but I was fortunate enough to be able to bring my toddler there for the first time in March :-) I love the grilled cheese with bacon, and Egg-O-Doumar. I rarely leave without having a Ringo for dessert! A trip to VA for me is not complete without a visit to Doumar's.
