Café au Lait vs Latte
Compare typical café recipes. Exact ingredients, shot counts, and serving sizes still vary by shop.
Soft brewed-coffee character
Warm milk rounds a filtered coffee base.
Mild and creamy
More milk softens the espresso and creates a rounder sip.
Generous
Typical preparations combine brewed coffee and warm milk.
Milk-forward
Uses more steamed milk than a cappuccino in a typical recipe.
Little or none
Foam is not the defining texture.
Thin microfoam
A silky surface supports latte art without a thick cap.
Brew-dependent
Coffee strength and serving size are the main variables.
Shot-dependent
Similar to a cappuccino when both use the same shot count.
Milk-dependent
Milk type and volume control most of the calories.
Serving-dependent
Often higher in a larger milk serving, but recipes vary.
