The second time I tasted a Tim Hortons coffee, I was hooked.
Before arriving in Canada, I had not been a regular coffee drinker: my hot beverage of choice was rooibos tea – unsweetened and without milk. However, whenever my mom had percolated coffee on her stove, I would take a cup. But never at any other time. My coffee-drinking habit changed with a visit to Tim Hortons, a Canadian brand coffee shop. On a previous visit with my husband, I had had a regular coffee and it was a drink I did not think I would repeat.
When drinking coffee with a colleague, she suggested I try the vanilla coffee – and I loved it! I enjoyed its flavour, the touch of sweetness and the fact that the coffee taste is not too strong. When drinking this flavoured coffee, I find no need to nibble on a biscuit or eat one of the coffee shop’s timbits or doughnuts. Instead I find the drink satisfying on its own and have discovered it keeps me going for a while longer until my next meal.
Now every time I meet someone for coffee, I suggest Tim Hortons so that I can taste once more the second flavour I tried there.

I do not think they have ventured into the US Laurie. I think you will have to cross the border in order to try one of their coffees 🙂

I’ve never been to Tim Hortons, in fact I haven’t seen one here at all. I’m not much of a coffee drinker. I do love Starbucks Chai Latte. 🙂

Tim Hortons is a Canadian franchise started by one of their well-known hockey players. Definitely the competition to Starbucks – which is an American brand.

Never been to a Tim Hortons, Colline, but I do know what it is like to find a place that offers a good cup of coffee. Serve me a good cup and I’ll become a customer for life.

I think hat so the case for many Tim Hortons customers. They are also loyal, I think, because the franchise is a Canadian one 🙂

I don’t do well at experimenting with flavoured coffees but I love vanilla in general so I may well try some next time I’m in a coffee shop. 🙂

You will not regret it – especially if you love the taste of vanilla.
