“Café noisette” is a delightful French coffee drink that consists of a shot of espresso with a small amount of steamed milk, giving it a nutty color and a smooth texture.
This drink is a perfect choice for those who enjoy the strong flavor of espresso but want a touch of creaminess. The name “noisette” means hazelnut, referring to the color rather than the flavor of the drink.
Enjoying a café noisette offers a balanced coffee experience that combines the robustness of espresso with the softness of milk. It’s a perfect choice for any coffee lover.
To order it, you would say, “Je voudrais un café noisette, s’il vous plaît.”
