What’s so great about Tim Hortons?

The prices.

(Coffee isn’t bad, though, and the Hot Chocolate is rather good.)

Mr. Campeau hits the nail on the head with Tim Horton’s. When I worked 3rd Shift, and was driving home at 3:30 AM, Tim Horton’s was the only place open (with a drive-thru) that served decent coffee, and a Boston Cream donut. It is nothing spectacular, but we have nothing else like it in OH.

I don’t like Tim Horton’s coffee. I love their donuts though.

I live in SE Michigan were we are fortunate enough to have Tim Hortons. The coffee is the best.

Tim’s will do, and there’s always one around, but when there’s a Starbucks nearby, I’m there.

Looking fwd to the post. I received my copy of Tim’s book and yesterday and have already started on it.

I’m looking forward to hearing what he has to say. This is my first time to the site and I have to say…I’m quite impressed. I’m adding it to the blogroll at my site, The Christian Manifesto (www.thechristianmanifesto.wordpress.com).

Michael: I assure you that nothing is great about Tim Horton’s. Everything they do is done better elsewhere, usually within a 100 meters. What they do well is consistency. You can always get a good-enough sandwich and cup of joe at Timmy’s. On long drives between Quebec and BC, particularly in the wilderness of Northern (ie. western) Ontario where it’s a 2-4 hour drive between towns, the sight of Timmy’s gladdens the heart. There’s something about familiarity that makes mediocrity very tolerable.

The other Tim, Tim Challies, is not mediocre. He’s a really good guy. I’ll look forward to your chat with him.

Monk brother,
You know I love you dearly. Just don’t be crossing any lines when it comes to Tim Horton’s, eh!? We Canadians have at least one national institution we are proud of – and it just happens to make good honest coffee, great sandwiches and little cakes masquerading as donuts.
