January in Columbus is cold, gray, and can put even the most chipper folks in a funky mood. Our solution? Warm drinks, tasty scoops, and absolutely zero guilt about it.
You know that moment when you say, “I don’t need dessert” and your brain immediately starts negotiating? Dumont Creamery & Cafe in Polaris is where that negotiation ends. It’s a creamery and café under one roof, so you can roll in for a scoop, stay for a latte, and leave with a milk tea “for the road” that somehow disappears before you hit the next stoplight.
The Creamiest of Ice Creamy Goodness
This new(ish) sweet spot in Polaris has a little bit of something for the entire friend group: the “classic vanilla” person, the “give me something adventurous” person, the coffee snob, and the boba fanatic.
Dumont keeps a deep bench of flavors, with 24 in the case, so you can go safe, go seasonal, or go full cookie with flavors like their Oreo Caramel Fudge. It’s got the kind of texture that makes you slow down mid-bite and let out a shameless moan. It’s also the moment you stop pretending you’re “just getting a small” next time.
And yes, they stay open late enough to support your post-dinner dessert agenda, especially on weekends.
The Tastiest of Tasty Beverages
Now, the café side of things… Dumont isn’t doing the sad, watery “we also have coffee” thing. They’ve got a full specialty list, with a long list of must-sips like the Strawberry Matcha, Date Cardamom Latte, and Iced Kheer, plus plenty of iced and blended options for when you want your caffeine to feel like a treat.
They also serve shade-grown Karafa coffee, which isn’t just a fun label. Coffee grown under a tree canopy is associated with healthier habitats (protecting over 2.5 million acres of tropical forest) and more biodiversity (supporting over 150 bird species) over full-sun coffee farming, so your caffeine comes with a little “look at me making decent choices” energy.
If you need a winter excuse to go ASAP, Dumont is running a promotion right now where you can snag a tasty croissant on the house when you order any specialty coffee before 1pm. And if you’re holding a Columbus Foodies 2026 Discount Card, Dumont is listed with a buy one, get one 50% off deal. That’s basically permission to bring a friend and still “accidentally” order two things.
Ready to grab a scoop and a sip?
If you need a winter pick-me-up, make Dumont your next Polaris treat stop. In the meantime, check out their menu and location info here.
Then go stalk the latest drinks and flavor drops on Instagram so you don’t walk in and panic-order something (although whatever you order is sure to hit no matter what).
