Tim Hortons

[Cdagal]

I am a large black coffee and toasted cinnamon raisin bagel (every morning!) kind of girl

 

[Canooknic]

Yay cinnamon!! I hate not being able to get cinnamon flavoured stuff whenever I want it...or a decent cinnamon bun! 13 1/2 weeks til I can have as much as I want!!!

ooooooh... guys! I have been living out of canada for 3.5 years! I miss my ice caps!!! mmm... and timbits... and the soup and sandwich combo... used to get that all the time.... sigh..

Love_young - it's been 3.5 years but the sandwichs were damn good!

HURRY UP AND GIVE ME THE PR VISA SO I CAN GO HOME AND DRINK AN ICE CAP!!!

 

[Bangkokcanuck]

A little conversation can make the wait more bearable...


Sooo... who likes Tim Hortons? I DO!!!

I am so Un-Canadian, Timmy's is a taste I simply never developed. I don't drink Tea/Coffee etc and am not a donut guy so can't see any reason to make a trip there. At least I know if I wanted to do so there is one every block it seems haha

Hubby and I only drink decaf coffee. But I think we prefer Second Cup, Timothys or Starbucks over Tim Hortons.

Personally, I love Second Cup's iced chocolate - O-M-G.

Not a huge Timmy's fan here, but once in a while it's good.
Their coffee is the only coffee I drink without sugar.. --'

I always get an extra large double double!

I've never had their coffee just black before. My wife got me hooked on the cream and sugar.

In the States, I drink black coffee most of the time. The coffee at my work is pretty rotten, so even McDonalds is a lot better. Still, though, nothing tastes quite like Timmy's. And given that I'm becoming a PR and eventual citizen, I want to support the Canadian franchise, as opposed to say, Starbucks.

I like the French Vanilla !

Meeeee! Although I don't drink their coffee, since I stopped drinking coffee 4 or 5 years ago. It always smells so good, though. I'm a sucker for their hot chocolate and -sometimes- some of their Timbits, even though I still think Dunkin' Donuts' donuts are way better. I've yet to try any of the muffins. Their butter and cheese croissants are great warmed up, too. My husband actually dips his croissant into his hot chocolate; it sounds weird, but he seems to love it.

I actually prefer Dunkin' donuts. I am not denying timmies is good, but whenever I go to the states and visit dunkin, i realise how good they actually are!

Mmmmmm donuts..........

 

[Black-Berry]

Mmmmm large coffee double double , a steep large tea double double or a maple oatmeal will do the trick ! Whooooopp! Im addicted to timmys!

Cafe Moca with topping, not a big fan of their donuts but hot beverages are all good!

 

[pseudowolf]

Mmmmmm........... Regular ham and swiss, no tomato with cucumbers and honey mustard, whole wheat, not toasted, chocolate dip donut and a bottle of coke.

Oh yeah, they only have Pepsi...*sigh*....that'll have to do....

Yuk! I don't like Tim Hortons. Tried it once, asked for my 'alongée' (the anglophones might know it as an Americano), but the woman behind the counter never heard of that before (weird!) Her colleague helped her out, she knew it, but they didn't have. Regular filter coffee then... Not so much a fan.

Tried their food too. Pastries are too sweet for my taste, don't like the bagels much either.

I know that coffee doesn't work in a fast food way. Making good coffee takes time. That's why I avoid the big chaines: fixed menus, not always very bright personnel, no exceptions from the menu, as a customer you're just a number walking by.

At home there's a couple of independent espresso bars I love to go to. Some great coffees, pretty much all fair trade and starting at 1,5$ for a cup. On Sunday a nice big mochachino at the local brulerie. Love it!
Even when traveling, it's never hard to find a good local place for good quality coffee. I'd rather pay a bit more for a real treat, then feel I need to work down my coffee just for the sake of having coffee.

(No offence though for everyone else that does like the taste!)

I believe the original question was Sooo... who likes Tim Hortons? I DO!!!

Don't worry, you can buy the coffee you like for maybe $5.00 each somewhere ! Pharoh was kindly trying to lighten the mood!! ;D

 

[pinklady]

I never say no to a tasty sweet treat!!

I enjoy the maple dip at tims, in fact that was the first tim's donut I ever tried on my first night in canada ever!!!!
