And whether you’re on the boardwalks of Maryland or Delaware, you have no shortage of beach-cuisine staples — the enormous buckets of french fries, greasy slices of pizza and, of course, the ice cream cone.
For decades, one cone, in particular, has stood out as a favorite for visitors to Ocean City, Maryland: Dumser’s Dairyland, the ice cream parlor founded in 1939 by the late Gladys Dumser.
“Her main point was fresh ice cream. Everything is made and sold the same day, and that’s our main product, just making it and selling it the same day, keeping it fresh,” said Donald Timmons, who owns the iconic ice cream stands that started on Ocean City’s boardwalk and now dot the resort town.
Asked just how many ice cream cones get scooped and served every day in the summer, Timmons said he could only estimate a number in the thousands.

During our summer vacation, my mom and dad would always make us (the kids) wait until we walked all the way down the boardwalk to get a Dumser's ice cream cone.
We found out later that the main reason - other than the great ice cream - was so they could stop and listen to Pete Dumser playing Big Band era music on the organ in the window of the shop.
I'm 69 years old.
love Dumser's for so many reasons. the old fashioned atmosphere is fun, the food is always fresh, good and reasonably priced and the homemade ice crème is wonderful. locally owned and operated and a great history.
So funny, each/every year the papers on the west side of the Bay Bridge always produce nice articles of many of our good/nostalgic businesses AFTER the season has pretty much concluded.
I suppose any pub is good pub...
HAPPY FRIDAY!
