They have a nice selection of white teas...pomegranate, blueberry...

Only had it twice as I don't tend to go there from one week to the next. Had to try it though and it wasn't bad enough. There's some sort of fake egg on the top

There is always a huge line at Timmies at Cross Iron Mills, walk 2 minutes and you can get a pretty decent coffee at Second Cup, plus their cakes are really nice. I have to say if we want that whole coffee house experience Starbucks wins hands down, though Good Earth has recently opened in Airdrie now and is quite good, a bit like Costa.

BTW on the morning of the Calgary Stampede Parade my 8 year counted 100 plus people in the line at a downtown Timmies, honest

But I still love the donuts!

I'd agree, although it is somewhat awesome driving a '98 half ton and pulling into the drive through (at wherever) at the same time as someone in a shiny new small car - I wonder who's more bothered about their paintwork - "yes I think I will go first thanks very much - you'll still blow by me on the highway when we've got breakfast anyway and get to the destination first - so you owe me......................."

Every time we pass Tim Hortons in our local town I have never seen the place without an ample queue of cars outside the place. We went once whilst on our recce last year (naive I know), both the staff and the coffee were miserable however the doughnuts were quite colourful.

It's all about the donuts. If you're in a donut frame of mind ever, it's a good enough pit-stop. What's with this daft expectation/disappointment that it doesn't deliver better coffee or food? It's like saying: "MacDs - their range of salads is disappointing."
