(CBC) Canadian Navy issues emergency tender demanding Tim Hortons supplier for its Halifax base to boost sailors' morale. "There shall be no acceptable substitute"
I was late to the party in the other Tim Horton's thread so I'll say it again here. We have a Tim Hortons in Dublin on O'Connell but it's just a coffee vending machine with thawing donuts beside it. I stop by on my way to work if my coffee shop isn't open yet and buy it when I can but damn I miss double doubles.
A lot of farkers will jump in going on about how horrid Tim Horton's coffee is or how great their personally roasted beans are but I think they're missing the point. A large (or better, XL) Double Double is how Tim's coffee is supposed to be.
When I think about Tim Horton's I think about that quick and easy coffee I'd pick up with work buddies on my way to the job at 6 am or the place I'd hit up on my way to university everyday for a coffee and bagel to get through the morning class. It's been years since a real Tim Horton's coffee and god damn do I miss it. The second thing I do after stepping off the plane in february is getting a coffee.
Canada: The country that makes fun of Americans and Starbucks, but can't live without Tim Horton's, which wasn't even Canadian-based until a few weeks ago, and had its first store open in New York State.
I don't think it's as good as it was years ago. They can't get anyone to work there, and those that do, don't know how to properly clean the filters in most of the locations. All of the donuts are now mass produced in Brantford, and are also not as good. They do make a good steeped tea, but most of the time you ask for it, they don't have any ready.
Starbucks is way to gritty and strong for me. McDonalds has a decent blend now, but they insist that it be served at 3000 degrees.
Second Cup is probably my favourite for quality and consistency. The masses have no taste though, hence the prevalence of Walmarts. Tim Hortons will just keep growing, because people don't know any different......or any better.

Canadian living in Buffalo NY, and the area is being invaded by Timmy's. Dunkin Donuts is being run out of town here. Even the thruway rest stations have kicked Dunkin out for Timmy Ho's. I was born and raised in a town of 19,000 with 3 Tim Horton's and all of them always busy.

Your trolliness is strong, but I will bite... The first Timmies was not opened in the US, it was opened in Hamilton, Ontario. It was originally a canadian company, owned by the Horton family, until they sold it to the Wendies franchaise... the only thing you have right is that it did recently again become a canadian company

If you mean that the Cajun people were originally from Canada, that's true too(although you seem too dense to probably know that). The were French, displaced from Acadia, an area in what is now....Canada.

So little you know of Tim's. Yes you are correct that the first Tims in the US was in 1985 (Amherst, New York), but the first one actually opened was 1974 (Moncton, New Brunswick). that's in Canada in case you needed to know that.
It was a Canadian company until Wendy's bought it and incorporated in the US. Recently it was moved back to Canada where it belongs.
I am betting you don't even know the original donuts Tim's had.. I can.. Apple Fritter and Dutchie
Even to be a smart ass, can you know the NHL teams Tim Horton play for? Toronto Maple Leafs, Pittsburg Penguins, New York Eangers and the Buffalo Sabres.
Now get off my Canadian lawn, and my more coffee at Tim's.

You need to go back a bit farther than that. The first store opened in Hamilton, Ontario in the 60's.

Tim Horton's is AWFUL!!! Only Panera has worse coffee, and at least they have delicious bagels.

Well, of course it's fake. HMS Beaver? Pshaw.
It should be the HMCS Beaver. Then the pic might be believable.
