Dumont Creamery & Cafe, an ice-cream-and-boba concept that has been quietly multiplying across suburban shopping centers, is officially headed to Folsom. The franchise is set to take over a retail spot at the Palladio at Broadstone, bringing scooped desserts, milk-tea drinks and other sugary comforts to the open-air center. There is no firm opening date yet, but shoppers can expect another dessert option to join the Palladio’s food lineup in the months ahead.
As reported by the Sacramento Business Journal, Dumont Creamery & Cafe is a Texas-based franchise built on a brand that first started in India and is now expanding into new U.S. markets. The outlet confirmed that Dumont will be joining the Palladio at Broadstone in Folsom but did not include a specific opening date for the local storefront.
What To Expect From The Menu
Dumont pitches itself as a creamery-and-cafe hybrid that blends Indian dessert traditions with familiar American ice-cream styles. According to Dumont Creamery, guests can expect a rotating selection of ice-cream scoops, specialty milkshakes and bubble-tea-style drinks. The concept also leans into a cafe setup, pairing coffee and pastries with its frozen treats so visitors can linger with both a drink and dessert.
A Growing U.S. Footprint
The brand has been steadily building out its U.S. presence, with recent openings in Texas and other Sun Belt markets. Coverage from CultureMap Dallas has highlighted a pattern of franchised locations in suburban shopping centers that mash up ice cream, coffee and boba under one roof. That track record helps explain why a lifestyle center like the Palladio would be next on the list.

The Palladio at Broadstone is one of Folsom’s main shopping and dining hubs, drawing weekday and weekend foot traffic from surrounding neighborhoods. Onyx-RE describes the center as an upscale outdoor complex anchored by national retailers and a mix of restaurants. For a dessert-and-drinks concept like Dumont, that kind of built-in audience from shoppers and nearby apartment communities is exactly the kind of crowd that can keep the soft serve flowing…
