I'm over in Canada again in July so wondering whether I need to try myself a Tim Hortons.
Half and half - half coffee half hot chocolate with a maple top doughnut.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:D

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

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.

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:)

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....

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:

^^^ What he said ^^^ yuk

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

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 :)
