generaLee83 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 On the way to every game this year we drive by Tim Hortons on route 20A, what kind of joint is this? Coffee? burgers? Is it worth stopping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills4154 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Tim Horton's is a favorite of myself and my wife. We always stop when in the Buffalo area, or in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Frankly, I am confused by Tim Hortons. That place blows away anything down here, including Starbucks imo (for half the price). Dunkin Donuts is garbage compared to Tim Hortons. What is strange is that you can't even buy their coffee online as far as I know. I brought some home this year and my wife loved it. If they expanded to NYC/Long Island, they would make millions; the coffee is THAT good. What on earth are they waiting for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Its a canadian coffe place, like a dunkin donuts. No fancy coffees, just plain coffee, donuts, soup, sandwiches, bagels, muffins, etc. Its what we Canadians live off of, it is our secret fuel.

There are stores in ten states now, including Connecticut and Massachusetts, so it's probably just a matter of time before it hits the island. But with Dunkin's strength in New England/Mid-Atlantic (in Boston it's practically a religion), how well will Tim's do in those areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkin Donuts has chunks of Tim in its stool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 In Rhode Island, they seem to have replaced a local chain Bess Eatin. All the Bess Eatin's changed their name to Tim Horton's about 2 yrs (?) ago. I'm not sure about SE Mass or CT, but I suspect the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth stopping? 868774[/snapback] Tim Horton's is a Canadian coffee place. They just recently expanded to the US. Personally speaking, the coffee is really good there. I rarely stop for a wrap or something like that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Good coffee, sandwiches, soup and chili. Unfortunately, the donuts are horrific. Sometimes I'll stop there if I'm in the mood for their coffee, but nothing is good enough to bring be back on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willis da illest Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I know the NE area is littered with them. Nothing better then a wheat bagel and butter to get the morning going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
