The ambience is interesting - partly like an old school diner, and partly like a hipster space. The coffee was great - definitely worth the stop. The Cheese, Pesto and Tomato panini was just fine - nothing to talk about. The price was great - so overall, good value for money.

Full Stop Coffee is one of the go-to coffee spots in the Junction neighbourhood. They offer a…read moredecent selection of both coffee and non-coffee beverages, cookies, and sandwiches. While I don't drink coffee myself, I thought their tea lattes and ciders were good. The space has airy feel with plenty of seating, and free WiFi for those who plans to do some work or studying here. There's also a large space in the back perfect for collaborative work or group meetings. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the patio in the back opens up when the weather is nice. The staff here are friendly and welcoming. However, because there's usually only one person working, the service can be a bit slow, especially if you drop in during a busy moment with lots of people.

There is free self-serve water and lots of power outlets in case you want to do some work. Service is kind. We got a matcha latte and the (London) Cosette fog tea which were both average priced and tasted delicious. Unfortunately, the washrooms are downstairs and inaccessible. I recommend for a hot drink if you're planning to go for a walk in the nearby parks. Next time I will try some of the pastries.

We don't live in the area so drove over; there is a lot of free street parking around. The cafe is very small and it was packed with guests. We sat in the back and everyone seemed to know each other so I think Cosette is a place enjoyed by locals. They have a wide variety of baked goods, including the S'mores Croissant. It was very large and packed with chocolate. Definitely share! The lattes were very good as well. Good for: coffee/tea, baked goods

Despite it being end of day, it wasn't stale or hard to eat. Thw outside was still flaky and crispy, while the inside layers were still moist and soft. The cream inside was a burst of flavor. I had cut the croissants in half based on the outer chocolate dip location and thought the tiramisu one was lacking filling, only to discover it all hiding in one of the halves lol

This is a joint Bake Code and Chatime.

I feel like they could either cook it to be more moist or store it better, and for sure don't add salt to something already salty. I visited yesterday evening at ~8:50PM after watching a movie as I was starving and tired and needed a little something for the commute home in north east Scarborough. Service was friendly and the staff was helpful with my questions. The store has booth - chair table seating so you could sit with just 2 people at a time at a table or join the tables for larger groups. Their bakery brand (Bake Code) features a variety of innovated desserts and baked breads. They have several different ongoing promotions, like if you buy 6+ buns, you pay no tax. If you buy 5 buns, you get one free. End of day sale for buns is 25% OFF. They have a VIP card for $20 that gives you 10% off buns on every visit for a year. The Taiwanese sausage bun was featured as the bun of the month. The promotions do not stack so you get the best available deal. In my case, it was the 25% off. 2 of the savoury croissants we had were just crispy dry. When I eat a croissant, I expect something moist and buttery. This was neither. I don't live in the area so I won't be back for the goods. Maybe the drinks.

There was plenty of seating both inside and outside. It was raining that day, so we sat inside, and got a seat upstairs which was nice and quiet. I was looking for a caffeine-free drink and decided to try the Citro Booster because it sounded interesting. It's essentially a blend of lemon, ginger, and turmeric. I can definitely see it being the perfect drink on a cold day or when you're feeling under the weather, although I'm not sure it's something I'd order regularly. We also got the maple latte, which was enjoyable, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. We also got a pastry to pair with the drinks. One thing to note is that they don't have their full pastry selection displayed. There are a few items on the counter, but for many of the others, you need to ask the staff, who will bring them out from boxes behind the counter. The downside is that you don't find out the price until then. I did appreciate that they offered to warm up my chocolate croissant. Unfortunately, the maple latte took a little while to come out, so by the time my drink arrived, the croissant wasn't warm anymore. I would say this is on the pricey side as far as coffee shops go, though I guess cafes aren't cheap nowadays. Our two small drinks and one pastry came to almost $20. Overall, it's a nice, cozy cafe with a decent selection if you're looking for a quick bite.

Even though it was chilly, the patio was packed, which says a lot. I ordered the blueberry sparkling lemonade a bit on the sweet side, but refreshing once mixed properly. Stir it well so you're not sipping straight syrup at first. I also tried the seasonal iced caramel apple latte. At first, I wasn't a fan because the flavors felt separate ...caramel, apple, espresso but after letting it sit for a few minutes, everything blended together beautifully. Slightly sweet with a crisp apple note, and I ended up loving it. Lastly, the ginger molasses cookie was soft and had a nice texture, though I wished it had a stronger ginger kick. Overall, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and cozy vibes all around. 4/5. On the pricier for a cafe the two drinks in the cookie it cost me a little under $20
