I went to Kensington two times during my trip in Nancy. The first time I got a pink lemonade which…read morewas pretty good. It's nice to know some people remember that pink lemonade was originally made with strawberries and was labeled "pink" because of it's color after the strawberries were added, not that you can just color lemonade pink and pull it off as 'pink lemonade'. It was a bit too sour but I guess I could have gone back and gotten some sugar. The second time I got a mocca frappe which was suppose to be a frappacino styled drink. Maybe their definition is just different from what I'm used to but I expected it to be blended and iced but it was sorta.... cold and fluffy. It was alright but nothing special. On the bright side it's the only place I can think of in this area that makes coffee to-go in the plastic cups I'm used to back home, yay! So if you're not looking to sit at a cafe for an hour and chat like the rest of France, this isn't too bad of a place to grab a cup of joe.

From the owner: Ambiances multiples Au premier étage de cet établissement aux tons chauds de bois, de rouges,…read mored'oranges et de roses soulignés par endroit d'une touche violette, il y a une poutre verticale dont l'extrémité haute est cernée de rayons de bois fixés au plafond. On se croirait dans un moulin autour de la grosse meule prête à moudre le grain. On entre d'un côté, on descend de l'autre, on se croise, on discute, on s'enracine dans les banquettes ou on se love dans les fauteuils de l'entresol. On déguste bières et cocktails, boissons chaudes et menthe à l'eau.

A pastry lovers heaven. We happened to see this place during our walk around town and I had to stop…read moreand check it out. Their chocolate tart with orange is to die for. As was their coffee and chocolate tart. I had the lemon tart as well and it was divine. They have perfected the fine art of pastry making and something the French do exceptionally well. I came back here for a second time on NYE and there was a line of about 40 people waiting to buy dessert and cakes here. Obviously very popular with the locals (none of the other pastry shops I saw had a line up on that day). Staff are very friendly and no English is spoken. I managed with my broken French and they were very polite. It's an all female shop and they wrap everything up beautifully to ensure that you can carry it home without damaging the delicate pastries. A must stop in Nancy. It's just delicious.

Finally! A place in Nancy with WiFi, outlets, a relaxing atmosphere, and GREAT customer service…read more The coffee was good and affordable (1,70 for a long) and I got the iced tea, which was peach Lipton (2,40 ?). They sell some food, sandwiches and salads and such, and beer, although you can only buy it with food. (Maybe so people don't get drunk and rowdy?) Whereas I would sum up most customer service in France with the infamous Youtube line, "Honey badger don't give a shit," the ladies running Taverne du livre were very nice and professional. There is a moderate selection of books (all in French), nice coffee shop-esque music, and we did several hours of work there.

My recommendation: afternoon espresso and ice cream…read more Grand Café Foy is a sprawling indoor/outdoor brasserie with a very relaxed atmosphere in the center of Nancy's Stanislas Square. Come by in the afternoon and have a coffee and beer, the atmosphere is extremely relaxed and this is a great place to spend an afternoon because of how open everything is. Drinks are priced affordably especially taking into consideration the location of this cafe... 2€ for a Café...which is an espresso. If you're looking for an american style coffee, order a Grand Café or Café Americain.
