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.

Stopped in for a quick bite & dessert. The ham & cheese sandwich was alright, simple & satisfying, but nothing particularly memorable.

The gelato was the highlight for me. Smooth, creamy, & full of flavor, making it worth the stop on its own.

Overall, a decent place if you're looking for a quick snack or dessert. Nothing that really blew me away, but the gelato definitely stood out more than the sandwich.

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 :)

I would 1000% recommend going to 1884 to grab a bite to eat - & while you are there be sure to thank the owner Jeff for us!! We recently visited Quebec on a family vacation & were taking a tour the final morning. It was incredibly hot & humid & our 12 year old daughter Serafina passed out from heat stroke right in front of 1884. It was terrifying to say the least. The 1884 owner, Jeff, immediately jumped into action. He explained that he was a paramedic & proceeded to take care of our daughter without hesitation, informing us each step of the way what was happening. He opened the cafe to us as a place for her to recover & didn't leave our side until she was safe in our car- his generosity, kindness, quick thinking, & commitment to her health was one of the greatest acts of kindness I've experienced. Thank you, Jeff! & to everyone else - make sure you stop by, grab a bite, & thank him for us!

Really good sandwiches. The kids liked the grilled cheese. We found it to be a good stop for a quick lunch on multiple occasions while visiting Old Quebec.
