What's with Tim Hortons?
 

I have seen many posts about how great Tim Hortons. I have seen the Tim Hortons stores when in Canada. I have never been into them or drank their coffee, hot chocolate etc. Am I really missing something?

I'm over in Canada again in July so wondering whether I need to try myself a Tim Hortons.

OMG!!! You've never been to Tim's??? :eek:

they do the most amazing cinnamon buns, and I also love their vanilla coffee!!! Definitely one reason to move to Canada (although not very good for the waistline. ;)

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

Their doughnuts are nice but you're not missing a damn thing, just that North Americans have a weird fetish for coffee and this one is a purely Canadian firm named after a hockey player

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

I'm shocked!!! :eek: :blink:

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

I'm not, don't understand their fascination for wings and ribs either

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

its the canadian way of life!!!:p going to timmies for a double double, (DOUBLE CREAM AND SUGAR) and their doughnuts are fab too:)

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

Sour creme glazed Timbits - does it for me every time!

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

I was mystified by the mystique of Timmy's too, but then I had a chocolate dip doughnut and I thought I'd gone to heaven. The coffee's good, too.

I think to gain citizenship you have to like timms. Its the law:p

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

In that case we should get citizenship now, let alone PR. ;)

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

Mmmmmm, Sausage and egg breakfast sandwich, with a large vanilla coffee, a very guilty pleasure after the kids have gone to school........or maybe a honey dip donut or timbits..........Mmmm

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

Canadian born and bred and I've never tasted anything from Tim Hortons,
but I do remember watching him play hockey....:lol:

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

To me the coffee is very bland and under-brewed (if that is such a term). I sometimes have a muffin, but the doughnuts leave me cold.

Their coffee is sort of like Molson Canadian/Labatts Blue....bland and not too challenging.

My opinion is not held by many true blue Canajuns.

Owning a TDL franchise is a license to print money, IIRC. Their franchise fees are amongst the highest in the business.

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

Score one out of two then. I've never been in a Timmies and I don't watch hockey.

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

BTW Tim Hortons is now American owned.

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

Half and half - half coffee half hot chocolate with a maple top doughnut.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:D

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

Timbits Rule...it's tradition...leave airport head for the nearest Tim Horton for Coffee and Timbits...:wub: your holiday has started...total bliss yum yum!!!

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

Leave airport...head to Tim Hortons, coffee and a raisin bran muffin....heaven!!

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

The only reason I ever go into Tim Horton's is to get Timbits for my little boy otherwise I wouldn't bother.

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

I think it's a bit over rated. The coffee's nothing special, the donuts are pretty nice though. The queues through the drive-thru usually put me off going there.

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

No doubt that lots of people like it. The Q's (lines) are testament to that. I'm not a fan of the coffee and will get mine from Starbuck's if I can't find a Good Earth which in my humble opinion is great coffee.

Timmies sponsors lots of kids hockey, provides free stuff for them after a game and of course if you are RCMP you apparently get your beverage gratis - good stuff:)

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

From what I saw when I did my reccie, the only did brewed coffee? Not really my cup of tea (ha ha)...!

So I can't say anything good about them, as I don't like brewed coffee.

If what i said is true, that they are now owned by a US company, I find that really sad , as I understood them to be a good ol' fashioned Canadian firm....

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

Isn't that true of anywhere that sells doughnuts?! :rofl:

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

They are owned by the same people that own Wendys. Also did you know the Hudson Bay Company is also owned by an American.:eek:

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

^^^ What he said ^^^ yuk
:thumbsup:

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

You might say that, I couldn't possibly comment.......:sneaky::lol:

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

I can't stand hockey, I think at the time it was the players I liked.......

I'll shut up now, giving my age away:lol:

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

I do like their Ice Caps but the coffee is nothing special though it is much better than Starbucks which is YUK. I had a tea at Tim Hortons the other day and it was so sweet it was VILE! So if anyone is buying, I will have an Ice Cap (any flavour) with a blueberry muffin. Ta :)

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

Have to agree about Starbucks, their coffee is total pants, it's Tim Hortons for me everytime.........:wub:

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

In your opinion........:unsure:

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

My opinion wins..im a women on the edge...:rofl: coffee keeps me normal:confused:

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

Normal:rofl:

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

Sort of:rofl::rofl:

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
 

In that case I concede graciously.....:)
