Café au Lait

Café au lait is my favorite coffee to order when in France or at a French restaurant. It’s so creamy and delicious and feels a just a bit more sophisticated than ordering regular coffee. Café au lait is French for coffee with hot milk but getting the desired ratio is key. Enjoy with a fresh croissant or baguette with butter and jam for a delightful French breakfast.
