Greggs or Tim Hortons?
 
From a column in today's guardian:
It must be great being Canadian. Instead of Greggs, they’ve got Tim Hortons.
Greggs for me. :nod:

I love the honey crueller.
Could eat one right now or 2.

Never heard of it. Overloaded with cinnamon presumably?

There are 21 Tim,s in the UK, majority in Scotland. For a coffee and Do-nut i would choose Tim,s every time but for something more substantial to eat i would choose Gregg,s, their steak bake is excellent.

In that case they can send Greggs over to us. Fair swap.

Exactly - I don't see that Greggs and Tim Hortons are in competition with each other, even aside from the fact that there is almost no geographic overlap.

Greggs for the sausage rolls although I really want to try this vegan one they are all talking about. Tim Hortons for the apple fritters and roll up the rim!

2010 = Tim Hortons
2019 = Greggs (assuming the quality hasn't nosedived like Timmies since I left)

Neither.

Prefer coffee shops.

That vegan one is being talked about a lot, but to me it seems like what's the point. With a real sausage roll at least you are getting some meat with the unhealthy pastry, but with a vegan one it's just some ground up mush and unhealthy pastry. What kind of food is that ?!

Greggs all the way. Tim Hortons is prison food

Greggs all day and twice on a Sunday!

Tim Horton's does nothing well.

Tim's is a place of last resort for me. Nothing in that place is what I would call good, they can't even make a donut taste good.
