Can I say, "Tu prends ton café avec lait?" to ask if someone takes their coffee with milk? This is a direct translation from English.

Salut Aya

Yes! I think you can use your query as proposed, but be careful to use raised intonation.

In the absence of the standard question intro phases, you would need to use raised intonation to avoid your query sounding like simply an observation rather than the intended query.

Bonne continuation
