“Best Donuts Around”

Mattea K.
4/4/23

I've eaten at Tim Hortons before and every time their donuts make me want to jump for joy! Maybe it's just me but their donuts are better than Krispy Kreme, Mercatos and any other donut shop I've been to. I would recommend stopping for their donuts. Other than the donuts there is nothing special about Tim Hortons.

“Always stale”

William Q.
8/30/24

Doesn't matter what location, stale donuts! My usual routine.last five visits I order an ice cap and a donut. Then I proceed to the garbage and toss out the donut. Too many products result in nothing being fresh...ever...for fresh donuts I go to Zehrs.always fresh.Hortons does nothing well.so under average.

I have visited many Tim Horton restaurants and although I am still going to visit your restaurants, I want tell you there are improvements that could be made. I appreciate the fact that you are a fast food establishment. However, please take the time to get the order correct. Also, please note that bagels have holes in them. A big dollop of butter, cream cheese or mayo in the middle doesn't do a thing for the sandwich. I have to ask for a knife to spread the condiment myself. Today I got a BLT on a bagel. There was a huge pile of at least 3 leafs of lettuce. I removed 2 before eating my sandwich. The mayo was in a huge dollop in the middle, therefore oozing out the hole. I had to spread it myself. There were 3 tiny pieces of bacon. I'll ask for extra bacon next time. Ihave ordered the wild berry hibiscus quencher and gotten a cup of ice with a splash of drink in it. I now ask for light on the ice. I shouldn't be paying for a cup of ice when I order a drink. If 6 want to make my food myself, I'd stay home. Train your employees to do better. Tim Hortons is a Canadian institution. Please take pride your work.

First of all, I don't understand why you take the best snack off the menu at 4 o'clock and that is the breakfast wrap if it's good why would you take it off? Doesn't matter what time of the day?
Some people don't always get up at the same time
But they didn't have it so I tried the new flat pizza. What a disappointment. It was like they put it in the microwave. It was limpy, no flavour, very little cheese, just plain terrible.
My foot note: this is not gonna last count on it

Tim hortons should train their staff in proper hygiene. Same person cashing is the same person serving and they put their dirty hands on the cup lid that should touch the customers mouth.

It's just nastiness and it happens at every tim hortons I have been to in canada so far. Remember germs spread by these things.

I still love going there. Everything was quick easy. The workers are very very polite but lately it's wait wait wait and when I mean i'm talking 10 to 15 minutes for a cuppa coffee which is ridiculous. I went inside one day there's two workers running the whole store that is totally ridiculous. Business is gonna go down if you don't fix it.

I used to go to TIM HORTON around 5:45 pm every day specially Sunday to Wednesday on 1 location normally because its on my way to home but that location workers are very slow,their service is very slow like i wait almost 25 min everyday just for bagel what i order same everyday.they punch order when car is infront of their window while when everyone waiting in drive thru they don't care, when i ask reason why they are slow everyday they made excuses, i ask manager no so i can contact with them, they deny.my question is Tim Horton don't need profit anymore. If owner is OK with that like how workers are working,they never check cameras?location is credit view & wan less corner GAS STATION Tim Horton

The Tim Horton location at 3353 Lawrence Ave E in Scarborough has a sign posted that it opens at 5:00 a.m. and the website shows the same. When i got there at 5:30, the doors were locked but staff were working; the drivethrough apparently was open. If You mean to say that you only serve people in cars at 5:00 a.m. you should note this on the sign and website. The manager was kind enough to take my order though as i did a walk through the drive through. Good on her.

Good luck getting some one to take your order while three or more employees are chatting in one corner. They look back at you hoping you would go away.

In the last month I have ordered and paid for Cappuccinos, just to find out they have used regular coffee instead of espresso and just added foam milk on top of it to hide it.
We are not in a third world country, but service and product quality seems that way.

Is this the Authentic Canadian Coffee shop we are to be proud of...

I've always enjoyed the tim hortons 'loaded' chicken bowls and they used to suffice my hunger all with a great taste, I've recently discovered they reduced their portions by a large amount all for the same price! This is outrageous! My kids and I used to enjoy the bowl combos and from now on we will have to stop. I recommend not to buy any tim Hortons bowls, this is not worth it and don't waste your money on such a tiny portion.

Tell me.if I do to Tim Hortons (hey 27 and hwy 7) and drop 10 bucks on 4 coffees, then Why The F*** would they ask for another 10 cents for an extra cup? Are they really that f****** cheap? I used to go to Tim's several year ago at a different location and they messed up my order (again, mainly because Nobody spoke proper English) so I switched to McDonald's and found that they had better coffee. Today after 4 years I thought I'd treat some friends to coffee at Tim's. Yeah well, this just strengthens my belief that Tim Hortons is a money hungry coffee shop! Too bad. We're not coming back. Enjoy your 10 cents…!

I don't understand why we are waiting so long to both order and receive our items. Been only happening since the complete staffing change, but the worst part is after being asked to repeat order, it still gets messed up. Just got home to enjoy my 3 milk and 2 Sweetner but it ends up being a cold steeped tea. Upper management should be ashamed for allowing the constant poor services that these franchise owners are allowing to happen, especially with Tim's being such a huge company. Now I can toss this cold incorrect order in sink or drive bk to get another one screwed up. Thunder Bay, Waterloo street location

This is a branch on West Broadway of Vancouver. They always refuse to provide sleeves for hot drinks. When I ask one, the csr rolled her eyes and advised that we don't have sleeves. I asked for an extra cup instead. She ignored my request and let me waited for 10 minutes before rudely passing me one. Later, her manager told her that I was very demanding and asked her to ignore customers like me in the future. I felt very uncomfortable and disappointed. I don't think customers who spend their money there deserve such service. This is my last time in Timmy, period.

This is a problem with not just one store but all of them. There will be 5-6 employees all serving the drive thru but could care less about the people who get their asses out of their cars to go in because the drive thru lineup is too long. You ask I'd there is someone serving the counter and you get "be with you in a minute...a minute turns into several while the drive thru keeps getting served. I'm sick of it and will be going to McDonald's from now on. Better coffee, better service.

They are terrible. They get all soggy before you finish your coffee. The old lids are so much better. I'm up for change but you will have to find something better.

Well I was totally disappointed today! I do not drink coffee and never have. I do not like regular chocolate but have always liked Tim's white hot chocolate cause they make it with milk not hot water. Well today it was disgusting they clearly changed it. It tasted like hot water with a drop of milk no flavor whatsoever the worst I've ever had. Why would you change a good thing. I'm disappointed Jarvis Ontario Tim Hortons Rating would of been zero stars for this drink but had to hit at least one!

Pass that Dutchie to the left hand side and keep passing until it meets the trash. This donut is not the classic of my youth. It is too small, it is a sickly sweet sugar glazed fiasco! Dump these Dutchies in the dumpster along with the revised recipe fail.

I go to Tim Hortons on Bowen road Nanaimo bc all the time. And every single time I order something, the workers never get my order correct and I mean NEVER. For example around 20 minutes ago I ordered a ice coffee and put a pump of chocolate syrup which is an extra 35 cents and they never add it. And if they didn't have any chocolate syrup left they would maybe tell me huh? Nope! $#*! you guys, get orders right next time huh.

Tip for consumers:
Don't!

Tim Hortons has really economical F&B especially with the offers that can be activated in the app weekly. The quality and taste of the coffee can be a hit-and-miss sometimes at different branches but generally they're good for their price. However, service is usually slow as they don't have enough staff working in a shift.

First off let me make this very clear I absolutely love Tim's. Its a daily ritual, my wife loves it too except more times then not she gets 2 hot chocolates and 1 is a cup of hot brown water, the server doesn't open the cover on the machine and bump the (chute) part the powder is in as it get plugged. I really think its time to develop a liquid form of the syrup as other places do to mix a perfect cup of "Nectar from the heavens"
