Café con leche (Spanish for 'coffee with milk') is a coffee beverage common throughout Spain and Latin America consisting of strong coffee (usually espresso) mixed with scalded milk in approximately equal amounts.

It is similar to the Italian caffè latte and the French café au lait.

[3] After becoming popular in Spain, this coffee beverage has spread to other Spanish-speaking countries and areas.

Cuban restaurants in South Florida often have a walk-up window (ventanita) that serve café con leche.

[5] The drink is created by making espresso and then using a steam wand scalding milk to just below the boiling point.
