The name "Café con Leche" is Spanish for "coffee with milk". This beverage is similar to a latte and is typically served in the morning with breakfast or as an afternoon pick-me-up.

A cafe con leche typically has equal parts of espresso and milk, whereas a latte consists of a 1:3 ratio, meaning one part espresso to three parts milk. The higher concentration of espresso in a cafe con leche not only provides more caffeine but also intensifies the coffee flavor.

Café con leche (literally coffee with milk in Spanish) is a coffee beverage common throughout Spain and Latin America consisting of strong coffee (usually espresso) mixed with scalded milk in approximately equal amounts. The amount of milk can be higher in a café con leche en vaso or a café con leche de desayuno.
