Just a little reminder.

Pisses me off to no end that they use the Canadian identity for marketing when they sold out decades ago.

Also their coffee and food has been shit for a long time too, coincidence? I think not.

    There’s a tiny café owned by a couple literally right around the corner from the nearest Tim’s to me.

    It’s definitely a little pricier but FAR better quality. They’ve also got crapes and waffles and stuff. But sometimes I’ll just go in for a cappuccino.

    I’ve become probably their best customer since I go there so often. Despite the fact that Tim’s is closer and cheaper.

    Not only is it Canadian (plus some European products) it’s a local business. All the better.

    Edit: That being said, Tim’s is cheap so that usually what I’ll have when the café isn’t an option. It’s not American owned thankfully. I wish it was still Canadian though.

      Definitely, the quality difference is unbelievable!

      I find most of the people I know that complain cafés are too expensive drink drip anyways and it seems to be about the same price everywhere 🤷‍♂️. Its $2.16 for a large drip at Tim’s here, and $2-$3 at most every local café I’ve ever been to apart from really bougie ones.

      People just see the $4-6+ milk drinks and blended frozen drinks (with real ingredients, apples-oranges) and get sticker shock compared to Tim’s fake whipped topping and sweetener sludge (sorry, “iced capp”) for $4.19 when they could be enjoying much better drip in the meantime for effectively the same price.
