1. Café or Café Noir or expresso

Café Noir

This refers to regular black coffee. It is usually served in small portions as an espresso or French press coffee. The French enjoy café noir with meals or as a pick-me-up in the afternoon.

2. Café au Lait

Café au Lait

Café au lait is made with brewed coffee and steamed milk. It’s served in bowls or mugs and is a quintessential part of a French breakfast, enjoyed with pastries like croissants.

3. Café Crème

Café Crème

Café crème features espresso topped with a bit of foam. It has a creamy taste but with a strong coffee punch. Café crème is often consumed as part of a French breakfast or coffee break.

4. Café Noisette

Café Noisette

Café noisette consists of an espresso shot with a dollop of milk to give it a hazelnut color. It has a bold coffee flavor softened slightly by the milk. Noisette means “hazelnut” in French.

5. Café Americain or Café Allongé

Café allongé is a black coffee made with extra hot water to dilute the espresso. It has a less intense, milder taste that allows you to savor the coffee’s flavors.

6. Café Gourmand

Café Gourmand

This coffee experience includes espresso or black coffee served with small pastries like macarons, tarts, or chocolates. It’s an indulgent café treat.

7. Café Liégeois

Liège coffee

A sweet coffee drink made with strong black coffee, milk, and vanilla syrup. It’s sometimes served cold over ice cream as a coffee milkshake.

8. Café Glacé

Café Glacé

Iced coffee made from cold-brewed coffee. In France, café glacé often includes coffee, milk, and ice blended together.

9. Café Serré

Café Serré

An extra strong, concentrated black coffee served in a tiny cup or shot glass. It packs a punch of caffeine.

10. Un Déca or Café Décafféiné

Un Déca or Café Décafféiné

Coffee without caffeine, usually served in the same styles as regular French coffee drinks but without the stimulating effects.

11. Café Viennois

Café Viennois

Espresso topped with whipped cream inspired by Viennese coffeehouses. A touch of chocolate is often added.

12. Cappuccino

Café Cappuccino

While not native to France, the French version of a cappuccino contains espresso and steamed, foamy milk with intense coffee flavors.

The French café scene is centered around taking the time to enjoy coffee as a sensory experience. Savoring your café noir or café au lait is a daily ritual in French culture.
