    Dumsers swirl ice cream in a cup
    Annabelle C.

    I just went after a day at the beach in OC and the swirl ice cream in a cup is delicious! Highly recommend as it is heavy and rich!

    Jennifer D.

    Amazing hone made ice cream. We both ordered 2 scoops in a dish. The portions were big and worth the price. We paid $13 for 2 cups. The service was quick and the cashiers were friendly. We ate outside on the benches. Theres a large parking lot.

    Milkshake ~ strawberry banana

    Ocean City screams Dumser's Ice Cream. This is my first review however, we as a family come here multiple times while in Ocean City. We typically get a combination of milkshakes and ice cream's. Always good and creamy. A great treat with smiles across the board from my family. See you next time in Ocean City.

    An iconic spot in the OCMD area. The have shakes, sundaes, cones and more. We like to stop by Dumsers after a day at the beach, after dinner. Nothing helps cool down the sun burn like some ice cream. The night I went I opted for a milk shake, while others in my party opted for cones and and bowls. We all enjoyed our treats. They have many flavors to chose from. There were many staff members who were working the night we were there. We stood in line for maybe 5-10 minutes. It went by fast. Staff rolled out our ice cream choices pretty quick. Pricing is to be expected for the beach area. Manageable. The location is easy to enter and ext.

    2 ice cream sundaes.

    We stopped in for ice cream lunch today. Delicious ice cream sundaes and our server was very friendly. Did you know there was a dining room behind the shop? Was happy to find this today, as we had some time to sit and enjoy the treat.

    Mint chocolate chip
    Cammi P.

    The best ice cream in town!!! This mint chocolate chip is a favorite and a staple however the chocolate ice cream is incredible as well. Always satisfies that summer ice cream craving!

    Last night of vacation and had to stop. Got myself lemon Oreo & coconut chocolate chip. Fast and friendly service. Big scoops as well. Awesome....

    Hawaiian delight with sprinkles
    Sarah Ann K.

    Dumser's Dairyland is the land of dairy goodness, offering many dairy sweet treats including: milkshakes, soft serve, ice cream, and more. When you drive in there are plenty of spaces to park your car. The walk up felt like you were in a classic movie on an ice cream date. There are two windows you can walk up to and the menu inside of the building is clearly seen from outside. They have classic flavors and they also seem to have seasonal flavors as well. I got the hawaiian delight which was essentially vanilla mixed with cherry, pineapple, and banana bits. It was simple yet something I've never tasted in ice cream before. Pair that with sprinkles and you get a tropical sweet paradise! They also offer dole whip here if you're into that. 1 scoop in a cup is also a good amount to keep me satisfied. Definitely shouldn't sleep on this spot if you're in Ocean City.

    Pineapple Dole Whip
    Salma C.

    Came just for the Dole Whip. Simple, fruity, fat free, dairy free, and delicious. Great healthier option that allows you to eat guilt free. It's a great choice for those with dietary restrictions and food intolerances. I don't have any restrictions and it hit the spot in the hot summer heat. The classic Pineapple Dole Whip is always available; when I went, a Strawberry one was available as well, but I didn't try it. My partner has severe food allergies (eggs, nuts) and informed the staff of such. They thankfully were able to ensure no cross contamination occurred and they got to enjoy a safe to eat treat! Great ice cream institution in the area- I just wish they had Dole Whips available at the other locations as well given many individuals have dietary restrictions or preferences.

    Customer service - 5 out of 5 stars Wait time - 5 out of 5 Cleanliness - 5 out of 5 stars Ambiance - 4.5 out of 5 stars Food quality - 5 out of 5 stars Last year we went to Dumser's on 49th street and had a great experience so we decided to try the one on 123rd street. This location was equally as nice. Although their food is really good, I opted to have only dessert. I ordered the Banana Split for myself, but it can definitely be shared with others. This location was really busy and it was nice to see that the interior and exterior was still very clean. With a near perfect score of 24.5 out of 25 stars, I give this restaurant a highly deserved A+

    Chocolate soft serve with sprinkles
    Lauren S.

    We enjoyed our treat from Dumser's! There was a fairly long line when we got there but it went quickly and the ice cream came out quickly after ordering. There's no inside seating or ordering so just be aware of that. While I like sprinkles I would definitely ask for half sprinkles next time- especially on the chocolate milkshake. When we got through with most if the milkshake there was no joke like a full inch or two of sprinkles at the bottom... it was too much. Overall good flavor and we all enjoyed!

    Coffee ice cream with chocolate dip
    Frances L.

    Service was quick and staff were efficient. Ice cream was good but the coffee didn't have much of a coffee flavor and the chocolate didn't taste much like chocolate. It also melted super fast so we had to get cups for it. Pricing was good and they do have options!

I also appreciate businesses that hire younger employees and give people what looks like their first opportunity in the workforce. The reason I'm only giving three stars is because there appeared to be an owner or manager who was constantly micromanaging the young employees. While I was checking out, a blonde woman with a baseball hat making cones aggressively corrected and criticized the staff in front of customers. It wasn't just giving direction, it came across as embarrassing and uncomfortable to watch; even comparable to downright bullying. Constructive feedback is important, but it should be done respectfully and when possible in private, but instead she openly berated them in front of customers as well as each other. The employees were doing their best, and the atmosphere would have been much more welcoming without that dynamic. I'd happily come back for the ice cream, but I hope the management style improves for the sake of both the staff and the customer experience. Hopefully this brings attention to the right people so it can be addressed on behalf of the staff.

Famous for its retro 1940s-style ice cream parlor decor--complete with high-back booths, ice cream counter service, and vintage charm--the shop makes its ice cream fresh daily right on the premises using classic, original recipes. Using their exact menu terminology, here is how the ice cream offerings break down: Butter Pecan Ice Cream: Made fresh daily on the premises, featuring a rich, old-fashioned cream base folded with buttery, crunchy pecans. (It also serves as the base for their popular Southern Treat Sundae, topped with butterscotch and chopped almonds). Thick Milk Shakes (Chocolate): Hand-dipped using their house-made chocolate ice cream and blended thick with milk. In classic soda fountain style, milkshakes are served in a tall glass topped with whipped cream, with the extra left over served right alongside in the stainless steel mixing cup. Service is fast, friendly, and quintessential beach-town nostalgia. An essential stop for traditional hand-dipped ice cream and shakes when visiting Ocean City.

Not too sweet, and the syrup tasted like it was homemade and it was just the right amount to flavor the ice! If those flavors aren't your thing - no worries! They have a chalkboard that lists an overwhelming number of flavor choices! We also noticed some ice cream made from a local farm, so we purchased 3 tubs to-go (which ended up being super delicious!).
