A cafe latte, or simply latte, is a popular coffee drink made with espresso and steamed milk. It is typically made with one or two shots of espresso and a larger amount of steamed milk, topped with a thin layer of frothed milk. The name "latte" is derived from the Italian caffè latte, which means "milk coffee." It is known for its creamy texture and milder coffee flavor compared to other espresso-based drinks like cappuccino
