If it is a decent place, i.e.. not Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts et al, then ask for a longo (the o is pronounced as a u). Essentially it is an double espresso but they keep it pumping longer. This is how they make regular coffee in NL and it is great. Not watered down like an Americano.
Latte is similar to flat white (we drink those when in NZ) or kafe leche in Spain. Just realize that you need to find an espresso bar, Starbucks isn't it as described below.

Better to ask for two double espressos plus one cup 1/4 filled with hot water and another with steamed milk. Then pour the espressos carefully into each cup- it will be a little bit like a long black and a flat white. Or you could print this out http://primocaffe.com.au/preparation and take it with you to show to the barista! As David says - good luck!!!!
