About Cafe au lait

Café au lait is a classic French beverage made by combining equal parts brewed coffee and steamed milk, resulting in a creamy, balanced drink. Its simplicity reflects its origins in French café culture, where it’s traditionally served alongside pastries. Nutritionally, café au lait can be a lighter option compared to sugary coffee-based drinks, as it typically contains minimal added sweeteners. The brewed coffee provides antioxidants and a moderate dose of caffeine, which can improve alertness and focus when consumed in moderation. The steamed milk contributes calcium and protein, supporting bone health and muscle repair. However, the healthfulness of café au lait depends on the type of milk used—for example, choosing whole milk increases fat content, while dairy alternatives like almond or oat milk can offer lower-fat, plant-based options. Overall, café au lait is a versatile and delightful way to enjoy coffee with a touch of creaminess.
