Tim Horton's certainly can hit the spot but the quality has been on a steady decline for about 15 years now. Their menu used to be very simple; coffee and assorted café style drinks, bakery treats, and soup and sandwich. All very simple, yet effective as the ingredients were of reasonable quality and the coffee was consistently good.

Nowadays the diversification of the menu has gotten so extreme that they can barely do any single thing right. Coffee is often burnt as machines are calibrated too hot, machines not properly rinsed after cleaning resulting in an oil slick of soap and chemicals floating in your coffer (personal experience), donuts and breads are often stale or poorly made... For years their breakfast menu's egg was not egg at all. "Cheese and onion egg-like product" was what was on the box. Only recently have they moved to using real egg which has had a massively positive effect on the breakfast menu's quality.

Tim's can be good. In Canada, its often that its not. I live in a town of ~50,000. This town has more Tim Horton's than Ottawa with over 1M people. Tim's has a cult-like following around here. Not sure why after the years of mediocrity.

Glad you like it though. I'd love to try your Tim's to see if there is much of a difference.

Damn I was not aware. I discovered Tim Horton's in 2018 and it was far better than Dunkin' Donuts, still is. If it was better than what it is now.. I'd probably be overly obese by now.

Yeah, it was quite good back in the day.
