    It tastes like cookies. Coffee cookies. It's awesome. But if they put sugar and cream in it it's around 550 calories. I'd rather have cake.

    550 cals in a drink??? :noway:

    Yes, I'd rather have coffee-flavoured cake!

    Daily Tim's girl checking in.

    Pumpkin spice muffins are back. They are soooo good! Unfortunately, I'm working on my own muffin top & won't be indulging.

    I've never actually been to a Tim Horton's but i know in other coffee chains, they usually do a sugar free version of all their syrups, if you can ask for that? It doesn't really make any difference to the taste, especially if you are having it with coffee :)

    I don't think there's any sugar-free options (aside from a double-double with twin!) ahah

    You definitely got the FV Cappuccino. So good, so dangerous!! Even a medium double-double will cost you 210 calories. I make mine at home now, using the Tassimo discs and my french vanilla creamer, and half a tsp of sugar. Under 80 calories woo!

    I used to drink them every day and would be on a sugar buzz for hours afterwards. It is probably the highest calorie and sugar filled hot beverage they have at Tim Hortons. Go to their website and check out the "nutritional" details about it.
    Better off making coffee at home and using a Fat Free French Vanilla creamer for 30 calories a tbsp.

    mmmmm Tim Hortons coffee....i order a lot of coffee from there and i've learned to check every.single.order. Only cause i hate being disappointed with my coffee. Like someone else said though, i believe their French Vanilla comes with cream and sugar. When you order flavour shots separately though, you can have your coffee whatever way you like it, with the shot just added in.

    I bought a Tassimo specifically to stop going to Timmies. I got TH t-disks and use coffeemate which is less calories than cream and making it at home means I avoid the bagels etc as well.

    The problem is instead of 1 to 2 xl Timmies I now have about 3 to 4 coffees a day....

    damn you, Tim Horton, DAMN YOU!

    Holy crap, I miss Timmy HoHo's. One of the drawbacks of moving out west.

    You can still find them in Vancouver -- though not on every block like out east. Try moving to Singapore! No Timmy's except once a year when we go home! :-(

    Well one thing I do know is their French Vanillia is a powder based drink, the coffee you got seems to have gotten a little messed up. I know the actual drink is powder based as my son is manager of one of the stores and I would assume that would be very high in sugar and have the cream in it .

    As someone who works at Timmies I can tell you they messed up and gave you a French vanilla cappuccino. The flavour shots at Timmies are unsweetened.

    Out in our neck of the suburbs, Timmy's are sprouting up like weeds. There almost is one every other block now. And a Starbucks on the blocks where there's no Timmy's. It's kind of disgusting when you think about it.

    I gave up on all of the Tim's specialty drinks a few years ago when I heard it's all just mixes and loaded with sugar. Call me a coffee snob, but I want real espresso in my lattes, not powder.

    We love to visit Tim Hortons when we are visiting family in Windsor! Yummy donuts! :love:

    I used to love their donuts, but they taste different lately.

    You need to be in Canada and have Second Cup, even though for me its just green tea. What that place has is just amazing compared to the others.

    I need to get to Tim's asap. I missed the Smile cookies, but I will not miss the pumpkin spice muffins.

    donuts are now partially prebaked and sent to stores to finish up. That's why they taste different now.

    French vanilla capacino is a sugary mix. to cut down on the sugar content I do half french vanilla and half coffee. Little bit of fun and a little bit of guilt free. Works for me.

    I love my Timmies and on occasion I still order a coffee w/ 2 cream, but most visits it's for a "chai tea" straight up! I remember the French Vanilla Cappuccino days, then I thought well I will do half FV and half coffee... sounds like it saves a lot right? Not enough! LOL Just not as satisfying either.
