My shout.. coffee anyone?

At its simplest, Ca phe da is made with finely ground Vietnamese-grown dark roast coffee individually brewed with a small metal French drip filter (cà phê phin) into a cup containing about a quarter to a half as much sweetened condensed milk  stirred and poured over ice.
Special personalized flat white..  
latte (from the Italian caffè latte or caffellatte pronounced , meaning "coffee [and] milk") is a coffee drink made with espresso  and steamed milk. Variants include replacing the coffee with another drink base such as chai, mate, or matcha.
Latte Macchiato
A flat white is a coffee beverage from Australia and New Zealand.  It is prepared by pouring microfoam  (steamed milk from the bottom of a pitcher) over a single shot (30 millilitre) or double shot of espresso.   It is similar to the latte  and the cafe au lait  and like other espresso based beverages it can be interpreted various ways.
The beverage is typically served in a small, 150–160 millilitre, ceramic cup. Microfoam is used, resulting in a smooth and velvety texture. A flat white may incorporate latte art.
This is a skim cappuccino.. or like the Ozzie's say.. ' one skinny Cap' please.
Vietnamese iced coffee, also known as Ca phe da or cafe da literally "coffee ice") is a traditional Vietnamese coffee recipe.  
Cà phê sữa nóng
  Cappuccino- Meaning "Capuchin" or literally "small cap") is an Italian coffee drink, prepared with espresso, hot milk, hot milk, and steamed-milk foam.. The name comes from the Capuchin  friars, referring to the colour of their habits.

Either way.. coffee and cake go hand in hand! or Coffee and Baguettes,  or Coffee and Croissants.. or like the Italians enjoy it.. coffee with biscotti, coffee with Florentine, coffee with macaroons.
