Christaline sur La Souterraine

20/10/2026: Am conflicted about this place. The coffee tastes like flavoured milk and the cakes are synthetic and miserable, probably the result of having spent their adolescence playing Minecraft in a factory freezer. To the avarage British palate, the croissants, along with the sandwiches, will pass themselves off as plausibly French. What makes this café worth a visit is, the ease of parking; the free WIFI and the clean toilets. And what is particularly pleasant and worth mentioning are the staff; who are generally very efficient, friendly and helpful. A special mention must be made to the waiter, as he is always extremely kind, charming and professional. It's this quality of service that brings the café up from a banal 3 star Maison du Pain, to a characterful 5 star boulangerie with a pleasant café attached.
