How to order coffee in France:

Café Crème

"Je voudrais un café crème, s'il vous plait."

Half Coffee + Half Milk


"A "cafe creme", also called a "café au lait" or simply "un creme", consists of an espresso topped off with foamed milk. It's the perfect drink to dip croissants or day-old baguettes, as the french do. But remember, milky drinks in France are only meant for breakfast, ordering one after lunch or with dessert could raise some eyebrows.
