cafe creme

Coffee with milk

Café crème is coffee served with cream or milk, the French equivalent of a café au lait.

In France and French-speaking countries, ordering a café crème gets you espresso topped with steamed milk or cream, typically in a larger cup than a straight espresso: I'll have a café crème and a croissant.

The term appears on menus at cafés aiming for European ambiance.
