“We know that these drugs traveled all the way from Mexico, over the United States’ southern border, and then made their way here to Canada where we stopped and seized them,” said Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw at a press conference Tuesday, Jan. 21.
TBF, Tim’s is amazing. As far as chain places go, it’s got way better food and coffee than Dunkin (though Dunkin’s wins in the donut category). I never say no to Tim’s.
I don’t know about amazing… but perfectly adequate.
Their doughnuts are fine, and are always fresh with the Always Fresh™ system, but not as good as in the old days, or old Robin’s Doughnuts. But they’re fine, and pretty cheap. You can probably get much better doughnuts at a local bakery, but it will almost certainly be somewhat more expensive. They ditched the Long John though! An insult to BC. Typical Ontario based chain.
Some coffee snobs will dump on their coffee, but it’s okay. You’ll rarely hear any sincere complaints from habitual coffee drinkers. There is some stiff competition on the fast food coffee front though, McDonald’s scooped their old coffee supplier, and lots of people do seem to prefer McDonald’s coffee now. I still give the nod to Timmie’s though.
Overall, I figure Timmie’s is a solid B+ among fast food chains. There are a few gems on their menu though, their steeped tea is solid. I guess technically you could get better tea at David’s Tea, but there is only one of those left, and besides for a basic “builder’s tea” it’s just a good value.
I mean, you can’t really compare chain coffee to ye olde local shop. They both have their time and place. But yeah, B+ is pretty accurate. I really enjoy their habanero chicken wrap and cheese twists. Also agree that McD has weirdly good coffee for a chain, but I try to avoid them in general.
TBF, I’ve also been to a lot of local shops that use horribly burnt coffee, so they’re more of a wildcard than a guarantee. Tims is consistent and fucking everywhere
Good point on the consistency. Timmie’s coffee is very consistent. Regardless of your personal opinions on Timmie’s coffee in general, you can be certain that the coffee you get tomorrow in Kapuskasing will be the same as the coffee you got yesterday in Kitimat.
