Big Fish, Small Pond

Today I gave Tim Horton's a shot. It can be pretty much thought of as the Dunkin' Donuts of the Great White North, Canada, eh. It's within walking distance, and I've heard it's not a bad competitor to DD, which is one of my favorite places for coffee and donuts. I figured, "What the heck, I can try it."

The results? The coffee wasn't that bad at all. I'm not sure how consistent it is, only having been there once, and consistency is really where DD has it going on, but it was a much better brew than I expected. Sadly though, while cheaper, you also get a smaller medium cup. I have to ding them for that.

I also had their version of my DD standard, a chocolate glazed donut, and I must say, their version was horrible. It was way too sweet, and the glaze wasn't just like sugar, it had some kind of flavor itself, so you could barely taste the donut underneath. Not good at all.

So, I give their coffee a solid 3, and their donuts a 1. I'll stick with Dunkin' Donuts, thanks, but Tim Horton's will do in a pinch.
