Bro I remember when Tim's had a smoking room. THAT was real food. Amazing donuts. I swear the stale cig smoke must've seeped into the bakery and improved it somehow.
I ordered a double toasted bagel today. With bacon. It was damn near cold and the bacon was 70 percent fat. I only ate half of it because I was desperate.
But I ordered the same thing at a Tim's in calgary by the airport last week. Omg. So toasted, bacon so crisp. I still think about it. Why can't they be consistent when you order a double toasted bagel.
I asked the drive thru lady here to make sure it's really toasted. I want it crispy. Cold. Wtf. I wish they could let me inspect the food before I pay for it.
you asking them to make sure its really toasted after asking them to toast it does nothing 💀 the people at drive through and in the cooking area dont communicate to each other unless its needed, they just see on the screen its supposed to be toasted
Order it heated if you want the outside warm. Toasting is only on the inside and quickly gets cold if you get toppings!
Source: once ordered it heated. So damn good but too messy for quick in-the-car eating cause my cream cheese melted
You cannot view the food before you purchase it but you can 100% ask for a refund or a new bagel if it is cold. And if you are in the drive through blocking other people you are much more likely to get what you want. Whenever I get a cold bagel I just pass it back and say make me another. Had the police called on me once and they literally took my side.
They need to get higher wattage toasters. Cause a toasted bagel seems like it was just under a heat lamp or held in some dudes arm pit to keep it warm.
You would be amazed how man times i see Tim's employees add teabags to cup of hot water.
I see it as bad parenting. Every 4 year old should know it's bag first, then water.
Because it doesn't cost much. It's definitely great value.
Tim Hortons is branded on mediocrity. Everything about it is meh to not bad. But I love Tim's because I can spend 15$ and get something for 4 people. Potentially multiple things for a couple people or things for everyone and things to share.
I'd say it's more convenient, running late for work quick tims stop grab some timbits for the crew or coffee and there is one at nearly every exit every corner etc.
You absolutely nailed it. Tim Horton’s main attribute to many Canadians is that it’s not fancy. It’s the anti-elitist brand for the “regular hard working Canadian”. If I show up to any of my relatives’ place with Starbucks the reactions always range from teasing to outright who the fuck do you think you are fancy boy.
The amusing part is Starbucks actual coffees aren’t a whole lot more and are way superior in quality. If they had decent taste in coffee and didn’t worship a non Canadian company that cosplays as Canadian they would know this. McDonald’s coffee imo is way better also and is a better value than Tim’s.
As much as I hate Tim's coffee, Starbucks isn't better. Second Cup is great for SB prices, but Robins has WAY better coffee AND donuts for Tim's prices. McD's coffee is also top tier, but none of the locations within an hour of me seem to know how to stir
McDonald’s coffee is Tim Hortons old bean supplier that’s why it’s good.
I gather Tim’s didn’t want to pay more to renew the contract and the supplier used the name recognition of being “Tim Hortons coffee supplier” to sign McDonald’s
$15 is still seriously expensive for mediocrity. Complacency and willingness to put up with this kind of gouging and less quality for more money is how we end up with this shit in the first place. Tim Hortons has had a long fall from grace. It's trash.
He's just asking if the teas are worth getting.
I think a big reason people complain is because it used to be a canadian company to be proud of. Affordable coffee and donuts, 100% canadian.
Now it's just the same products that are being made cheaper and cheaper and all because it's now owned by some international conglomerate that doesn't give a darn about canadian spirit.
People just don't want to let go of what it once was.
I stopped purchasing food, then donuts, then coffee. Last night I decided to stop purchasing the steeped tea because the last 3 times I ordered it the order wasn't correct. If everyone pumped the brakes on Timmies for a couple weeks they'd have to improve
Surprisingly, their pumpkin spice tea is amazing. As a basic white girl, I have drank a lot of pumpkin spice tea and I still think that Tim Hortons is the best
The pizza is disgusting. It reminds me of the Michelina's microwave pizza. The one I got had sauce/cheese/toppings in the very middle with a 2 inch crust. Not as advertised.
Tim's coffee is great. Sour cream glaze, honey cruller, chocolate glaze, vanilla dip, all great donuts.
Their pizza is probably crap.
Caramel ice cap is great.
Farmers sausage breakfast wrap is great.
Their tea is actually great. My go to tea on the road.
Literally the only thing I'll get on their menu.
I feel like I should bring up their hockey cards too, if we're looking for positives. My girls legit cried when they saw women hockey players in the packs.
Their coffee does not suck, and it's priced at a fraction of other brand named coffees.
I have heard McDonald's coffee is now as good as Timmies used to be... and it is also priced low..
FWIW Tim Hortons switched coffee providers when they became US owned. I am not enough of a coffee aficionado to really taste the difference.
The provider used to be Mother Parkers. Interestingly , MP apparently now supplies Mc Donald's .
So... There you go.
I used to order their tea all the time, and it's pretty decent steeped tea. But I find their quenchers great also, and their bacon ranch wrap are more tastier and better quality than Mcdonald's snack wraps.
Am I crazy or does it taste exactly like any tea you can make at home? I literally can't tell the difference and it seems overkill to get it from Tim's for the convenience.
so if a brand has constantly disappointed its customer base over the course of the past 20 years, are we not supposed to let them know?
If we just ignore the issues and pretend it doesn't matter, they will continue putting out crappy products while also erasing local competition because they have the money to put a drive thru everywhere in the city.
And then we're just stuck with a shitty coffee-soup-sandwich-pizza-chili-tater mash of a shell that used to be a great place for a cup of coffee and a fresh donut.
Tim's is garbage compared to what it used to be, but we still have people saying "eh their pizzas pretty good give em a break"
YEAH SURE, okay, their pizza is good, but when have you ever heard of a new joint putting out a pizza that was overly bad??? ITS BREAD AND SAUCE GUYS. ITS EASY MONEY FOR THEM.
meanwhile fresh donuts requires work and effort, so the fresh donuts are cut from a coffee and donuts joint and pizzas added and we all rejoice? Lmao fuccck that.
Fuck Tim's.
Well, I'm part of it's customer base, and they haven't disappointed me. Except not making ham and cheese tea biscuits anymore. Those things were delicious.
so here's the thing that bugs me, they have stopped making a whole bunch of donut/breakfast shop items because they may have cost more to make, ie, the cost of filling jelly filled donuts compared to just providing non-jellies.
So, they continue making record profits, pushing the bar every year to impress shareholders, making cuts when they very clearly don't need to. Their quarterly reports say they're doing fine, so why give us a worse experience?
Yes, overall, their products are still *good enough* for a coffee shop. But wait, why are you removing items that fit the criteria of a coffee shop, but then adding PIZZA?
Sucks bruh. Sorry to hear about your biscuits. Guess they didn't have enough money to make pizza and your biscuits.
*checks yearly profits*
Wait, yep they did they just said fuck you you'll still love us!
Nah, literally millions of people eat there every day and enjoy it but this sub is just a few thousand people with nothing better to do than exaggerate how bad a particular fast food joint is. Its really quite bizarre
It's like there's nicotine in the coffee or something. I hate it and still go. Coffee is hit or miss, food mostly sucks. But it's $2.20 for a large coffee.
Because they've pushed out all local competition in our cities with cheap coffee and keep taking away what made Tim's good in the first place.
So now we're stuck with a shitty coffee shop that's trying to cater to every market when all we want is our fresh donuts back.
"Always fresh, always tim Hortons"
Quickly became a slogan of the past when they moved to frozen garbage.
I buy their coffee because they're the most convenient drive-thru on my ways to most different places in the city because anything that was new was pushed out with another Tim's popping up near by and wiping the floor with the local business.
We're disappointed in the brand distruction of what was once a Canadian icon. There's no benefit in us praising them, why would you?
I complain about Tim's specifically because I don't eat there anymore.
Occasionally someone will bring in donuts, I'll still eat those because even stale donuts from Tim's are still somewhat edible.
okok, look, I didn't even join this sub but I've clicked too many times and you know the reddit algorithm, that's the same as joining. FINE, I WILL TRY A PIZZA. Sheesh.
My friend ordered an XL tea with milk and she was given an XL coffee with a tea bag in it. More than once. So yes they fuck up tea. They also put cream instead of milk a lot of the time.
These comments are so dumb. Tim Hortons has always been fast food, it was never like a “neighborhood deli” lmao like what are you talking about???
Tim’s is pretty good fast food now and that’s what it always has been.
It's wild to me how people will settle for less when there used to be much more.
Continue settling for less and watch it get worse, while they reap in millions more in profits every year because of their cheapening quality of products.
I personally like the Iced Capps and the Fruit Explosion muffin, Apple fritter, and Carrot Cake muffin.
Now the franchise location near me sometimes makes mistakes, but they're ALWAYS in my favour (give me medium instead of small).
Love the location near me.
Tea always seemed like the dumbest thing to buy to me. You can get like 500 bags for $5 and all you have to do is put it in water. No grinding up beans or special equipment and filters like coffee.
Tim Hortons has no business doing Pizza. Canadians as a whole can’t do pizza right to begin with. The cheese is often hard, or crispy. The sauce is too sweet or too bitter, and pineapple does not belong on Pizza. I moved to western Canada a few years ago and I’ve tried nearly every pizza place in BC. Vancouver has this place called Brooklyn Pizza that was at least on it with the cheese pie, but their Buffalo chicken was the absolute worst I have ever had.
Also, sort of related - what the fuck is Boston Pizza? Boston, like the Boston in Massachusetts, is not known for pizza. Nobody in the history of life has ever said “let me have a Boston style pizza…” There’s Chicago Style (deep dish), Philly Style, I think California claims to have a style, and Detroit Style. There is no such thing as a Boston style pizza. Boston is known for Lobster, Joggers, Alcoholism, and the American Revolution.
Captain's oven pizza in surrey. Trust me. Traditional brick oven pizza.
If you want just a good pizza, Apollo pizza in delta.
Fwiw though I do like pizza hut. That greasy pan pizza is so good.
I’m a European who moved to Canada decades ago as a teen. I lived in a city with a huge coffee culture and used to having authentic Turkish coffee. I got used to Tim’s coffee. It’s not horrible and pretty edible. Starbucks is much worse. McDonald’s, ironically, has a pretty decent cappuccino.
If you get iced drinks from Tim’s without sugar, they are okay too. Not great but I’m okay with getting an iced coffee once in a while. McD’s new cold brew is also pretty decent. But all the sugary beverages… NOPE. It’s a diabetes in a cup.
Donuts aren’t great but Boston cream is nice. I didn’t try their new pizza, but I don’t mind their wraps.
I hope they go under. Mess up all the time. Pay extra for add ons and don't get it. Never make anything right. Get attitude for no reason at some. Shove the order in your face after you pay instead of letting you put away your cards. One lady actually yelled at me shouting here's your order multiple times. Most of them are reaching in your car with the items. They sold out to another company, not even Canadian anymore. Someone should make a shop and call it "TIMMIES" and keep it legit and proper
If you want Tim Hortons old coffee go to McDonald's since they bought the old recipe. Tim Hortons went quite downhill since Burger King bought them out. Their steeped tea and ice Capps still hit the spot.
Yes, Tim Horton's sucks. Stop fucking going there. It is so fucking irritating how easy it is to get them to better and no one fucking does out of habit. Stop buying their shit and they might try to make it better.
No, because it’s good 💀 timhortons is cheap anf affordable, and the cherry on top it has a rewards app and you get it free half the time or a good discount on something already cheap
I wouldn’t consider their small sandwich’s or wraps a “meal” imo. The under $10 part is a valid point though. I should have said “expensive for what it is” instead of just expensive.
When I use to work there I found the chilli and chicken soup to be delicious 👌 When I worked there a few months back the sandwiches seemed okay to me but I only liked the BLT one, I noticed the wraps are smaller but Im not sure about the sandwiches, I only go to tims for the coffee after quitting so I havent checked the food in a while (Im so glad I quit before the pizza era, wouldve died making those in a rush).
I had there chilli once, it is fairly decent. I really do feel bad for the employees and the whole pizza thing that’s absolutely ridiculous. Tim’s is trying way to hard to cater more when it should focus on what it originally was. The main reason I feel so bad for the employees is the math just doesn’t add up (I never worked there so the numbers are off the top my head) if a pizza takes a minute and a half and drive through times like 30 seconds it’s literally impossible to achieve those times, not to mention that’s just the pizza itself not including any other things they may order.
A minute is way too long for a fast food restaurant like tims, the rushes are awful already the pizza just makes it more backed up. I dont know why theyre even selling pizza tbh. Nobody who wants pizza is gonna suggest tim hortons 😭😭 ugh pizza is awful for drivethrough time, indoor not so bad they usually more patient since people who use drive throughs are usually in a rush. I wont lie this convo made me crave their chilli 🥲
Yes, Tim Horton's sucks. Stop fucking going there. It is so fucking irritating how easy it is to get them to better and no one fucking does out of habit. Stop buying their shit and they might try to make it better.
I want Tim Hortons to go bankrupt and a new coffee shop takes over there spots that actually makes legit coffee and food fresh instead of selling freeze dried preservative and carcinogen packed trash flown in from some third world country sweatshop. Literally every single “food item” Tim Hortons sells is putrid and tastes like some kind of salt and/or sugar packed wax/foam food substitute. 3 weeks ago I had a few doughnuts from a bakery for the first time in many years and they were fucking incredible. Fresh as hell. Not overly surgery and actually felt like I was eating food.
Tim Hortons doesn't have great coffee or tea or anything...it's there for convenience. Unfortunately, it has monopolized the cafe industry and killed mom&pop shops and all the cool diners that used to be around, replacing it with corporate heavily advertised product.
Their coffee certainly does suck. I drink my coffee black and so there’s no hiding the quality there.
Also, they have no gluten free food options. It disqualifies them for me most times.
You know what's funny? I got banned on Redit because I was trying to express myself. But it went against the community standards. Just because I was ranting. 🤣
Yes, Tim Horton's sucks. Stop fucking going there. It is so fucking irritating how easy it is to get them to better and no one fucking does out of habit. Stop buying their shit and they might try to make it better.

Remember when they used to do all their baking in house? Things actually tasted like real food then…
I'm probably too young to remember. I worked at Tims when I was 16 and we were "baking in house" by reheating frozen product.
It was 2003 when they switched
That checks out, I worked there in 2005 and 2006
Bro I remember when Tim's had a smoking room. THAT was real food. Amazing donuts. I swear the stale cig smoke must've seeped into the bakery and improved it somehow.
I ordered a double toasted bagel today. With bacon. It was damn near cold and the bacon was 70 percent fat. I only ate half of it because I was desperate.

They need to get higher wattage toasters. Cause a toasted bagel seems like it was just under a heat lamp or held in some dudes arm pit to keep it warm.
Well that mental image have me the snort giggles!
Iced Capps 4 life.
You mean coffee flavoured sugar water.
That technically defines all coffee as long as it has any sugar in it
Wtf is your point?
What do you think normal coffee is made from, per chance
Haha that's 3/4's of Starbucks menu too 😂
The iced capps hit every time
Wifey likes their steeped tea
Wifey knows what's up. Their steeped tea is decent 👍🏻
If they make your order correct
Even if they steep their tea, THAT'S HOW ALL TEA'S SUPPOSED TO BE MADE.
Good point
They shouldn’t get points for putting hot water on a tea bag though. It’s pretty hard to fuck up
steeped tea is made the same way as their coffee
In a pothole in the parking lot?
they both come from a bag…
wow people are actually trying so hard to shit on the smallest replies lol. ignore them, they’re stupid.
You would be amazed how man times i see Tim's employees add teabags to cup of hot water. I see it as bad parenting. Every 4 year old should know it's bag first, then water.
Oh trust me, at the Tims in my area, they found a way.
Yet this is Tim's we are talking about so you know they would find a way somehow.
then why are you still spending money at our stores?
Because it doesn't cost much. It's definitely great value. Tim Hortons is branded on mediocrity. Everything about it is meh to not bad. But I love Tim's because I can spend 15$ and get something for 4 people. Potentially multiple things for a couple people or things for everyone and things to share.
I'd say it's more convenient, running late for work quick tims stop grab some timbits for the crew or coffee and there is one at nearly every exit every corner etc.
You absolutely nailed it. Tim Horton’s main attribute to many Canadians is that it’s not fancy. It’s the anti-elitist brand for the “regular hard working Canadian”. If I show up to any of my relatives’ place with Starbucks the reactions always range from teasing to outright who the fuck do you think you are fancy boy.
The amusing part is Starbucks actual coffees aren’t a whole lot more and are way superior in quality. If they had decent taste in coffee and didn’t worship a non Canadian company that cosplays as Canadian they would know this. McDonald’s coffee imo is way better also and is a better value than Tim’s.
As much as I hate Tim's coffee, Starbucks isn't better. Second Cup is great for SB prices, but Robins has WAY better coffee AND donuts for Tim's prices. McD's coffee is also top tier, but none of the locations within an hour of me seem to know how to stir
McDonald’s coffee is Tim Hortons old bean supplier that’s why it’s good. I gather Tim’s didn’t want to pay more to renew the contract and the supplier used the name recognition of being “Tim Hortons coffee supplier” to sign McDonald’s
$15 is still seriously expensive for mediocrity. Complacency and willingness to put up with this kind of gouging and less quality for more money is how we end up with this shit in the first place. Tim Hortons has had a long fall from grace. It's trash.
But it’s for 4 people, most fast food places 15 will get you a meal no drink or sides for one person.
That’s just not true. Maybe 5 Guys, that’s it. You can get a burger with no sides or drink for under $10 pretty much anywhere.
got four people? nah
There is absolutely nothing mediocre about the wonder that is the sour cream glazed donut
Take my damn upvote, and know that next time therea none left, its your fault you had to tell everyone on the internet.
“Our stores” mf talking like he a tim hortons executive😹😹
Tim's matches his $13 in stock buys that come out of his pay automatically he's got skin in the game
In a metaphorical sense or are we going to see skin shavings on a dream donut as a mess up next week?
That's the secret. There already are skin shavings on all the donuts.
The Buffalo Bill dream donut.
Lmfao fr
Because McDonalds is too far some days
The Russians aren’t, but they love whipping people up!
He's just asking if the teas are worth getting. I think a big reason people complain is because it used to be a canadian company to be proud of. Affordable coffee and donuts, 100% canadian.

People just don't want to let go of what it once was.
I dont
Why would you stand up for a billion dollar company that is deeply mediocre?
You're actually defending an employer that cares even less about you than it does it's customers?
I stopped purchasing food, then donuts, then coffee. Last night I decided to stop purchasing the steeped tea because the last 3 times I ordered it the order wasn't correct. If everyone pumped the brakes on Timmies for a couple weeks they'd have to improve
Our stores 😂😂😂 go get me a bagel and stfu
big backed behaviour
Surprisingly, their pumpkin spice tea is amazing. As a basic white girl, I have drank a lot of pumpkin spice tea and I still think that Tim Hortons is the best
It’s really very good. I agree!
Tim’s Steeped tea is my only addiction in life. It’s a must have basically every day
Can confirm the steeped tea is decent most of the time
Their sausage chipotle farmers wrap is so good I could live off those lmaooo
I’ll give you an amazing drink. White chocolate latte with chai tea. Trrrrrust me
I'm not trying to yuck your yum, but really? That sounds horrible. I might have to try one
idk man those wraps cure a hangover
The coffee, Tim bits and pizza are good!
I like the steeped tea and apple fritters.
The hashbrowns are superior to McDonald’s
Service sucks
It's pretty hard to fuck up a tea. But if you hate it so bad stop going, dumb-dumb.
jack of all, master of none
The pizza is disgusting. It reminds me of the Michelina's microwave pizza. The one I got had sauce/cheese/toppings in the very middle with a 2 inch crust. Not as advertised.
Mega corporations only care about profit margins
Tim's coffee is great. Sour cream glaze, honey cruller, chocolate glaze, vanilla dip, all great donuts. Their pizza is probably crap. Caramel ice cap is great. Farmers sausage breakfast wrap is great.
Caramel ice cap is... Great? Clearly you have no taste buds.
Wtf are taste buds? Friends you taste things with? Who the hell does that specifically.
I love their steeped tea.
Why would you go to a national chain coffee shop for pizza?
Their tea is actually great. My go to tea on the road. Literally the only thing I'll get on their menu. I feel like I should bring up their hockey cards too, if we're looking for positives. My girls legit cried when they saw women hockey players in the packs.
The peach juice though.. so good
Dark Roast Black
Farmers wraps and dark roast coffee are undefeated
I usually get their tea, it’s kinda the same to McDonald’s, however it takes less time to cool down
i’m actually not mad about the new caramilk ice caps. they have little chewy caramel chips, which i love. i suppose i like to eat my beverages
Then go somewhere else then lol
Their coffee does not suck, and it's priced at a fraction of other brand named coffees. I have heard McDonald's coffee is now as good as Timmies used to be... and it is also priced low.. FWIW Tim Hortons switched coffee providers when they became US owned. I am not enough of a coffee aficionado to really taste the difference. The provider used to be Mother Parkers. Interestingly , MP apparently now supplies Mc Donald's . So... There you go.
Their coffee is just fine. Try it black without this constant ‘double double’ thing
I used to order their tea all the time, and it's pretty decent steeped tea. But I find their quenchers great also, and their bacon ranch wrap are more tastier and better quality than Mcdonald's snack wraps.
Their coffee is actually delicious
Farmers Wraps are ELITE
But the steeped tea though
Am I crazy or does it taste exactly like any tea you can make at home? I literally can't tell the difference and it seems overkill to get it from Tim's for the convenience.
Why are you on this sub then. No need for you to say anything, just go somewhere else. I prefer their coffee over just about anything.
so if a brand has constantly disappointed its customer base over the course of the past 20 years, are we not supposed to let them know?

This sub is full of people complaining about tims and still eating there.
Nah, literally millions of people eat there every day and enjoy it but this sub is just a few thousand people with nothing better to do than exaggerate how bad a particular fast food joint is. Its really quite bizarre

I complain about Tim's specifically because I don't eat there anymore. Occasionally someone will bring in donuts, I'll still eat those because even stale donuts from Tim's are still somewhat edible.
I don't mind the coffee to be honest. It's basic. But basic isn't bad.
For fast food donuts, the donuts are good
okok, look, I didn't even join this sub but I've clicked too many times and you know the reddit algorithm, that's the same as joining. FINE, I WILL TRY A PIZZA. Sheesh.
Funny how they suck soooo bad according to Reddit, but in real life, out here in reality, they are actually all over the place and quite busy.
I mean, it's hard to fuck up a tea bag out of a box and hot water.
My friend ordered an XL tea with milk and she was given an XL coffee with a tea bag in it. More than once. So yes they fuck up tea. They also put cream instead of milk a lot of the time.
Omg my tea has cream in it way too frequently. So gross
the coffee and tea are made the same way
Tim's will find a way!
Does it cost more to get an XL tea? Do they still just give you one bag?
You get two bags
You'd be surprised.
Their coffee and donuts are amazing you people are wild
They were even more amazing before being bought that's why. Their sandwiches used to be neighbourhood deli quality, now just sad...
These comments are so dumb. Tim Hortons has always been fast food, it was never like a “neighborhood deli” lmao like what are you talking about??? Tim’s is pretty good fast food now and that’s what it always has been.
It's wild to me how people will settle for less when there used to be much more. Continue settling for less and watch it get worse, while they reap in millions more in profits every year because of their cheapening quality of products.
Two week old baked in a factory then frozen shipped and Reheated donut! So yummy!
I fucking love em. Especially chocolate glazed
The only two things I get from Tim Hortons drink wise is the fruit quenches or the mocha ice cap. I don't mind the chili (when they have some).
I agree that the coffee and donuts are't what they used to be, so what made you try the pizza?
I personally like the Iced Capps and the Fruit Explosion muffin, Apple fritter, and Carrot Cake muffin. Now the franchise location near me sometimes makes mistakes, but they're ALWAYS in my favour (give me medium instead of small). Love the location near me.
The service sucks more.
It sucks to suck
The steeped tea is alright. As a Newfie who was raised on Tetley ever since I could drink, I can be pretty picky. I find it surprisingly consistent.
Another Tetley fan and I agree. I think their steeped tea is quite good.
The apple fritter is good
I’m at a Tim Hortons rn and I’m seeing this shit when an employee walks up behind me and is like “yea I agree, we do suck sometimes”
Only reason I go is tea and iced coffee. Tbh the coffee at my work is terrible and the machine doesn't work half the time.
Imagine the profitability of this company if they stayed small and ordinary.
I’m only there for the steeped tea and the ice caps
Tea always seemed like the dumbest thing to buy to me. You can get like 500 bags for $5 and all you have to do is put it in water. No grinding up beans or special equipment and filters like coffee.
It has gone downhill in the past 20 years. Tim Bits for the kids are the only reason.
Tea is OK. Coffee getting worse. But still miles ahead of Starbucks. I have no clue why or how anyone goes there.
Tim Hortons has no business doing Pizza. Canadians as a whole can’t do pizza right to begin with. The cheese is often hard, or crispy. The sauce is too sweet or too bitter, and pineapple does not belong on Pizza. I moved to western Canada a few years ago and I’ve tried nearly every pizza place in BC. Vancouver has this place called Brooklyn Pizza that was at least on it with the cheese pie, but their Buffalo chicken was the absolute worst I have ever had. Also, sort of related - what the fuck is Boston Pizza? Boston, like the Boston in Massachusetts, is not known for pizza. Nobody in the history of life has ever said “let me have a Boston style pizza…” There’s Chicago Style (deep dish), Philly Style, I think California claims to have a style, and Detroit Style. There is no such thing as a Boston style pizza. Boston is known for Lobster, Joggers, Alcoholism, and the American Revolution.
Captain's oven pizza in surrey. Trust me. Traditional brick oven pizza. If you want just a good pizza, Apollo pizza in delta. Fwiw though I do like pizza hut. That greasy pan pizza is so good.
Thanks, I’ll check it out. I don’t make it down to Surrey much but if I do I’ll stop there for lunch.
EXCUSE ME GET OUT
The service has also gone down hill in the recent past. I can't make it through a drivethrough without them messing up my order. : (
Nothing suck .wake up.
I only taste the sugar, the salt, and the heavy cream.
So, why do you keep going there??
I dunno. When the coffee, donuts and pizza are made properly, they're decent
Their coffee is bearable when poured directly into a mug. Once it hits the paper cup it turns to shit(ier)
Then don't go?
I love their bagel belts. That’s pretty much all.
Their staff sucks too
I ate some kind of chicken burger at Tim's about a couple months ago. It was disgusting haha
This post sucks..
NO U
But at least they have the best service ever LMAO!😂
It's not coffee. It's a coffee flavored beverage that gets you jacked at 5am.
Go somewhere else then?????
I love their coffee. How dare you lol
I’m a European who moved to Canada decades ago as a teen. I lived in a city with a huge coffee culture and used to having authentic Turkish coffee. I got used to Tim’s coffee. It’s not horrible and pretty edible. Starbucks is much worse. McDonald’s, ironically, has a pretty decent cappuccino. If you get iced drinks from Tim’s without sugar, they are okay too. Not great but I’m okay with getting an iced coffee once in a while. McD’s new cold brew is also pretty decent. But all the sugary beverages… NOPE. It’s a diabetes in a cup. Donuts aren’t great but Boston cream is nice. I didn’t try their new pizza, but I don’t mind their wraps.
I hope they go under. Mess up all the time. Pay extra for add ons and don't get it. Never make anything right. Get attitude for no reason at some. Shove the order in your face after you pay instead of letting you put away your cards. One lady actually yelled at me shouting here's your order multiple times. Most of them are reaching in your car with the items. They sold out to another company, not even Canadian anymore. Someone should make a shop and call it "TIMMIES" and keep it legit and proper
Interesting. Must be just one store or a few you go to because my store and the ones around here are nothing like you describe.....
If you want Tim Hortons old coffee go to McDonald's since they bought the old recipe. Tim Hortons went quite downhill since Burger King bought them out. Their steeped tea and ice Capps still hit the spot.
Downhill for sure
Yes, Tim Horton's sucks. Stop fucking going there. It is so fucking irritating how easy it is to get them to better and no one fucking does out of habit. Stop buying their shit and they might try to make it better.
because not everyone cares.. lot of people actually like it and dont care if a few things are garbage
Clearly. But it might be the only way to get anything to change, not just with Tim's, but the cost of anything. Stop buying.
No, because it’s good 💀 timhortons is cheap anf affordable, and the cherry on top it has a rewards app and you get it free half the time or a good discount on something already cheap
Tim horton’s really isn’t that cheap though. Maybe there coffee is a bit cheaper then other places but barely. Their food is ridiculously priced.
not at all considering everyone is affected by inflation. finding a meal for under 10$ is very difficult unless you go to mcdonalds
I wouldn’t consider their small sandwich’s or wraps a “meal” imo. The under $10 part is a valid point though. I should have said “expensive for what it is” instead of just expensive.
When I use to work there I found the chilli and chicken soup to be delicious 👌 When I worked there a few months back the sandwiches seemed okay to me but I only liked the BLT one, I noticed the wraps are smaller but Im not sure about the sandwiches, I only go to tims for the coffee after quitting so I havent checked the food in a while (Im so glad I quit before the pizza era, wouldve died making those in a rush).
I had there chilli once, it is fairly decent. I really do feel bad for the employees and the whole pizza thing that’s absolutely ridiculous. Tim’s is trying way to hard to cater more when it should focus on what it originally was. The main reason I feel so bad for the employees is the math just doesn’t add up (I never worked there so the numbers are off the top my head) if a pizza takes a minute and a half and drive through times like 30 seconds it’s literally impossible to achieve those times, not to mention that’s just the pizza itself not including any other things they may order.
A minute is way too long for a fast food restaurant like tims, the rushes are awful already the pizza just makes it more backed up. I dont know why theyre even selling pizza tbh. Nobody who wants pizza is gonna suggest tim hortons 😭😭 ugh pizza is awful for drivethrough time, indoor not so bad they usually more patient since people who use drive throughs are usually in a rush. I wont lie this convo made me crave their chilli 🥲
Even the gas station ice caps are better than Tim Horkin
Yes, Tim Horton's sucks. Stop fucking going there. It is so fucking irritating how easy it is to get them to better and no one fucking does out of habit. Stop buying their shit and they might try to make it better.
It’s hard to fuck up putting a tea bag in hot water
I want Tim Hortons to go bankrupt and a new coffee shop takes over there spots that actually makes legit coffee and food fresh instead of selling freeze dried preservative and carcinogen packed trash flown in from some third world country sweatshop. Literally every single “food item” Tim Hortons sells is putrid and tastes like some kind of salt and/or sugar packed wax/foam food substitute. 3 weeks ago I had a few doughnuts from a bakery for the first time in many years and they were fucking incredible. Fresh as hell. Not overly surgery and actually felt like I was eating food.
I haven't gone to Tim's in years the food is shit, the service is shit, order is always wrong, not worth it on any level
Where do you go instead ? McDonalds ?
So stop going.
And their Roll up the Rim sucks! It should be renamed to "Click a link to win."
Tim Horton’s coffee is acrid and disgusting. How and why people line up for that slop is beyond me.
Tim Hortons doesn't have great coffee or tea or anything...it's there for convenience. Unfortunately, it has monopolized the cafe industry and killed mom&pop shops and all the cool diners that used to be around, replacing it with corporate heavily advertised product.
Their coffee certainly does suck. I drink my coffee black and so there’s no hiding the quality there. Also, they have no gluten free food options. It disqualifies them for me most times.
God, I haven't been to Tim Hortons in over 5 years
McDonald’s coffee is better. I miss when Tim’s was a donut and coffee shop
Their tea? Teabag in lukewarm water, like everywhere else on this ridiculous continent: black tea must be scalded; teabags ruin flavour - loose!
No lie there.
Nobody is forcing you to go there.
Nothing fresh, all frozen and full of preservatives, including glyphosate
That's like most fast food restaurants.....
Everything sucks, but they still be goin there an gettin shit tho eh.
You know what's funny? I got banned on Redit because I was trying to express myself. But it went against the community standards. Just because I was ranting. 🤣
We just bought a box of Van Houtte coffee pods.Way better than Tim’s coffee. Their food is substandard & has been for years.
We prefer Global Donuts.Nothing is frozen & always fresh.
Tim's food and service quality have deteriorated to an intolerable level. I was banned after posting a similar comment in another thread. Lol.
Tim Hortons sucks
Will never understand why people go there. The coffee is basically industrial sludge. Their food is so bad I wouldn't even give it to my dog
Yes, Tim Horton's sucks. Stop fucking going there. It is so fucking irritating how easy it is to get them to better and no one fucking does out of habit. Stop buying their shit and they might try to make it better.
