Took a group to Doumar's. Randy demonstrated the cone-maker. This is more than just interesting. The ice cream and cone is very good and is affordable. An excellent treat at a great old establishment. Don't miss it.

The Taylor Ham sandwich at Doumar's is a local favorite that was delicious.
[Thomas, 10/19/2019]The circus tent sign out front balances two giant salutes to the famous waffle cones.
Doumar's is the home of the original waffle cone. See the four-cone machine built in 1904 and still in use today.
[Tanya, 08/16/2019]The building is modern, and the restaurant is known more for its barbecue, but the old four-cone machine is supposedly fired up for 90 minutes every morning, six days a week.
