Tim Hortons for coffee. Even their decaf tastes rich and strong. As far as doughnuts go, I live one block from the best bakery in town. When my windows are open at night, I can smell them being prepared - it's an awful temptation! They're usually sold out by noon although they don't close until 2 PM.

Bought a Latte at Tim. But there was no milk in it, just water. They filled the machine up with powered milk..... That was the last time.
Dunkin has some decent sandwiches if you are in a hurry, like in an airport. Cheaper than many other vendors.

It's a long-time Canadian chain named after a hockey player, but it's in some parts of the States now. No Dunkin at all up here in Canada, but I am not a big donut hound anyway. Tim's are everywhere. Even in the rural Ontario town where I was staying for a while, population either 3600 or 3900 depending on what end of town you enter from (the signs say different numbers, lol), there are two Tim's and they always have a long line at the drive-through.

But Tim's has some decent sandwiches and soups, too. People like their coffee, just like some people like Dunkin coffee, but IMO, they both suck. Watery and flavorless.

Being Canadian I have to go with Timmies. I have never tried DD I don't think. Apparently they used to have them here, but they went home. There are some Starbucks here, tried a couple but for that money, it should be a lot better than it is IMO.

We now have Dunkin around here (Twin Cities, MN) as they started showing up a few years ago. Tim Horton was here in the mid-2010s but closed up all their shops (Twin Cities and out-state) in 2019. Krispy Kreme did the same in the 2000s, to a ton of fanfare and publicity/media attention and then gone about five years later - seems like they were available at a gas station chain for a while not long ago (Holiday? SuperAmerica/Speedie?).



I liked Tim Horton's coffee, never tried anything else. Dunkin does not impress but reminds me of this ...

I only been to Tim Horton once in my life, and DDs too many to count; yet I say Tim Hortons. I am thinking about moving to Quebec if they will have me.

Dunkin Donuts is right out. Yuck. I'd rather get donuts at Wawa.
Wawa has a Timmy's Been to it a few times in the summer. Only a drive-through now though. They can't get enough employees that want to work.

Me too! Starbucks tastes like 3 day old coffee reheated 10 times over. Bleh!

Unfortunately, of the choices, only Dunkin is available locally. Although we do have a little local place that is better so that's where we go.

Yep.. Krispy Kreme.. ASSUMING.. It's one of the units that makes the donuts. You got the "Hot Donuts Now" sign out front lit up..

They do have some 'standalone' units that are basically just like a Dunkin'.. Where they get the donuts shipped in from the manufacturing unit.
