Full Stop, the latest indie coffeehouse to join the Junction’s Dundas West strip, has some serious sixties’ flair: one wall is starkly orange, another bears a massive vinyl stencil of an airplane and the Eames chairs at each table are actually the real thing, rescued from a dusty basement at Trinity College. The shop sells homemade baked goods like curried apple-bran muffins and asparagus-and-egg breakfast pastries, and a sandwich menu is in the works. The most alluring feature: the spacious, 30-seat back patio.
