Review Summary

Au 1884 is a popular stop located on the boardwalk, offering a mix of views, snacks, and refreshments. Many visitors praise the quality of the ice cream and gelato, often highlighting these as the standout items, while opinions on the sandwiches and hot beverages remain mixed. The service is frequently described as friendly and efficient, though some experiences have been marred by inconsistent staff performance or concerns over pricing. Despite these variations, the location remains a go-to spot for those seeking a quick treat or a warm drink in a picturesque setting.

Great spot to grab a quick bite, drinks, or ice cream while enjoying your time on the boardwalk. Items are reasonably priced, especially given the location, & of good quality. Staff are nice & attentive.

While the Gelato is good, they are extremely stingy with their ice cream. They only will allow you to have 2 taste test even after paying & then the serving size is so small & they make sure the Gelato they give you does not go an inche above your cup. To add onto that, you get more geleto of one flavor in one serving then you do in 2 or 3.

Never seen an ice cream place be so greedy with their servings. Much better & many more options just walking distance from here.

I had an enthusiastic staff taking my order, & this place is great for quick snacks. I got salad for $6, americano $3, cocoa $6, croissant $8, gelato $5 & ice cream $6, so overall was almost $40, but worth the experience :)
