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 :rolleyes:

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:rofl:

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."
