description Café Bombón Overview

Café Bombón is a Spanish coffee beverage made by combining espresso with an equal measure of sweetened condensed milk. It is traditionally served in a clear glass, which allows the drinker to see the distinct visual separation between the dark espresso and the dense white milk before they are mixed. The drink is particularly popular in Valencia. Its intense sweetness makes it a distinct variation of standard espresso drinks.
