Every Hampton Roads native knows of Doumars, the home of the original ice cream cone. They hand roll their ice cream cones right there in the parking lot on their machine from 1904. Their menu is full of cheap but delicious food and shakes, and they are open late- until 12:30 at night. (Closed on Sunday!) I wrote about stopping for a Root Beer Float before the ODU basketball game
here, but watching the cones being made fresh by hand and smelling the scent wafting through the parking lot if a totally different experience.
To see the cones, get there Monday-Saturday 10:00-11:30. Be sure to step inside and talk with the employees who will treat you like family. Also check out all of the pictures on the walls and read the memory books on the counter. It was R's first ice cream cone, so I'm thrilled it could come from Doumars!
P.S.- this is a new Bayside jam.
