NAPERVILLE, IL — Naperville's newest ice cream shop, Dumont Creamery, is set to host a weekend-long grand opening starting Aug. 21, just in time for the last few weeks of summer. This will be the first Illinois store for the Indian-owned ice cream brand, which serves up inventive flavors, boba, coffee, and other items inspired by global cuisine.
The following special hours will be in effect Aug. 21 through Aug. 24 for the grand opening weekend.
Aug. 21: 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Aug. 22, 23 & 24: 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The celebration will feature a buy one, get one free deal, along with prizes and games. The first 100 customers will get their own "exclusive goodies," per a news release from Block 59.
Founded by brothers Vivek and Bhaskar Inampudi, Dumont Creamery & Café started out as a modest endeavor in Hyderabad, India, to honor their father's dairy business.
The creamery's more than 50 flavors range from butterscotch and strawberry chunks to scoops that invoke international tastes.
Featured ice cream flavors include an Italian-influenced Mint Basil Sorbet and a Biscoff blend inspired by the famous Belgian cookies. The toffee-stuffed Hokey Pokey recalls a New Zealand favorite, and the Kheer ice cream conjures the classic South Asian rice pudding.
The shop's boba selection includes classic and matcha milk teas, along with fun flavors like tiger stripes and strawberry burst.
Global flavors also inspire the coffee selection at Dumont Creamery & Café, with options such as date cardamom lattes and mazagran, a sweet drink with roots in Algeria. The café uses artisanal coffee beans that are grown in the shade.
Dumont Creamery & Café has dozens of stores throughout the United States, with shops in Texas, Maryland, South Carolina and Arkansas.
