Café au lait
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Café au lait, literally "coffee with milk", is a French coffee drink.
In many American coffeehouses, a café au lait is simply a latte with strong drip brewed or French pressed coffee substituted for espresso, though a French roast or similarly dark coffee may be the base of the beverage. This is also often the case with the German variation of the drink, Milchkaffee ("milk coffee"). In addition, the term "misto" (literally, "mixed") is often used to refer to a café au lait, most notably by Starbucks.
In medicine, "cafe au lait spots" are the discolored birthmark-like spots on a patient's skin that may be indicative of neurofibromatosis.
