Tim Horton's

Options
Does anyone here even go to Tim Horton's anymore or is it just Starbucks? I work at Starbucks and rush hour is ridiculous, TH over the road from us seems to get maybe 75% of the customers we get. Personally, I like my job but hate the coffee here. Still, I love me a double double and a red velvet muffin.

    I haven't even tried Startbucks before. Our Tim's is almost always crazy busy. Tim's lover for life...well, from a distance for right now *sniff*

    Isn't going to Tim's a Canadian law or something?

    TIm's is the only place I'll go outside of my own home for coffee. Tim's only competition around here is DUnkin' Donuts…and their coffee is watered down so much I can barely stand it…

    I love me the sour cream glazed donuts too… *wipes drool from my chin*

    McDonald's coffee is better and they offer re-fills.

    Tims 99% of the time. Starbucks is a treat when I want something fancy. Although those flavor shots at tims are pretty decent, and only like 5 calories or something small like that.?

    Sorry not a fan of Starbucks - prefer Tim Horton's or McDonalds coffee (these days that's all I buy there since I am avoiding fast food - although Tim's breakfast sandwiches are not bad on the cals) :ohwell:

    I think it's a regional thing. I live in NYC where there are only like 4 small Tim Hortons shops, whereas Starbucks is on EVERY CORNER! Plus, I believe people in cities tend to like the decaf extra mocha soy lattes with whipped cream. I'm more of a plain coffee drinker 98% of the time and much prefer Tim's over Starbucks brews. I also used to live in Buffalo (right on the Canadian border) and most of us chose Tims. I know that's always my first stop when I visit home!!

    I loathe Tim's coffee and dislike Starbucks unless it's full of milk and syrup. But if those are my choices, I pick Starbucks and say a prayer to the caffeine gods. Just choke down that Americano, haha. Still better than the sludge at Tim Horton's, surprisingly.

    I never get food so that point is moot.

    I'm in Toronto and Starbucks is the unpopular one. For a good reason, too.

    I'm a Tim Hortons fanatic. Prefer it over Starbucks. Love the flavor of their coffee and drink it daily. BTW - Black, with a sugar substitute packet.

    I'm a Timmies girl.:) Love the fact that there's a Tim Horton's just a five minute walk away from where I live too.

    Tim Horton's, at first because we have them and not Starbucks, now because I like them better. The chicken snack wraps are awesome, and I like the breakfast sandwiches too. Plus... better coffee. :drinker:

    I thought you said you worked at Starbucks, and that you're always busy...
