Nice little coffee and gelato shop on the boardwalk. Staff is very friendly. Some seating indoors and outdoors.
Solid value for being in the center of Dufferin
Best reasonable prices on the boardwalk, thank you for not price gouging Canadians and tourists

Au 1884 is a charming café with mesmerizing views of St. Laurent river and Château Frontenac. Established in an old store dating back to 1884, it offers a variety of treats, including a super mini ice cream with rich flavors like vanilla and chocolate. Visitors can also enjoy a viewing platform on the second floor and friendly service. A great spot in Québec city to relax and indulge in hot chocolate or coffee with a croissant.
Recent visitors praise the vegan salad with tofu and fruit snacks, noting the good prices and welcoming options for vegetarians and vegans. They also described a simple ham and cheese sandwich on baguette, which could have been warmed for more flavor, and enjoyed the strawberry lemonade. The café is appreciated not only for its food but also for the kindness of the owner, Jeff, who has shown exceptional care and generosity, especially during a family emergency when he quickly helped a visitor’s daughter after she passed out from heat stroke. His quick thinking and compassion left a strong impression. Overall, Au 1884 remains a delightful place to relax, enjoy a treat, and experience warm hospitality in Québec city.
