I am from Canada, New Brunswick. I am from a very small town. But even there, Tim Hortons had always been extremely popular. In my little town alone of about 10 000 people, we find at least 3 Tim Hortons, if not even more now today. In Canada, the quick service restaurant is well-known for its legendary coffee, which is made from a special blend of Arabica beans. Annually, Tim Hortons restaurants sell about two billion cups of coffee!

Tim Hortons had been found in Hamilton (Ontario) in 1964 by NHL hall-of-famer Tim Horton, who played hockey for the Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers and Buffalo Sabres. In 2008, Tim Hortons had open 500 stores in the U.S. Tim Hortons' U.S. headquarters is located in Dublin, Ohio. Just recently, Tim Hortons had announced a further expansion in New York City. Tim Hortons had open 11 stores in New York City. The hottest new locations include Broadway, MadisonSquareGarden, Penn Station and Times Square.

New Yorkers can now experiment a fresh new taste of Canadian best coffee: Tim Hortons. That’s right, Tim Hortons restaurants is now part of New York City and it’s for the best. One of the most expensive cities of the world will now be able to experiment Tim Hortons low prices for coffees and food. Even in Manhattan, a medium coffee will cost less than 2$. A donut will just be 95 cents. Can someone else offer better prices than Tim Hortons? Probably not. In a city where everything is expensive, I believe New Yorkers will be happy to drink a good Canadian coffee at a cheap price.

Tim Hortons is not just about coffee and donuts. It’s also a healthier alternative to fast food like McDonald, Burger Kings and other for breakfast, lunch and snack times. Tim Hortons offer sandwiches, bagels, yogurt, soups and chili.

Your story is very funny. I enjoy myself very much Tim Hortons. But what I like the most is their coffee. You can get a large coffee for less than 2$ and if you add a donut, it make less than 3$. It will make a change to Starbuck expensive coffees for our American friends.

Sorry to report that the Tim's at 451 Fulton Street in Brooklyn appears to be no more, along with whatever other fast food places shared the location. I just went there today and the entire address is shuttered with a For Rent sign.

Luckily, the nearby location at 22 Court Street was still there.

Sorry to report that Tim Horton's coffee isn't really that good at all. I probably wouldn't be pointing this out to a Canadian audience, as I suspect we've all been sufficiently percolated with "Timmy's" to draw our own conclusions. However, I feel compelled to inform American audiences that Canadians are drawn to Tim Horton's coffee predominantly not due to it's actual quality (when compared to other coffee), but to a brilliant marketing scheme that has effectively hijacked a good share of our national identity.

As many would likely read this and assume I'm some sort of Starbucks-sipping urban elitist, I'd like to confirm my own allegiance to Tim Horton's products. In fact, I was picking someone up from the airport today, and felt a strange compulsion to choose the Tim Horton's outlet in Arrivals over the independent vendor across the hall. I am, nevertheless, aware that Tim Horton's has successfully entrenched itself into the Canadian consciousness, to the extent that many of us would "default" to Timmy's when presented with a range of culinary options.

Undoubtedly, some of Tim Horton's offerings are healthier than those of McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy's. That said, Weight Watchers isn't going to give the BELT breakfast sandwich it's Carmen Electra seal of approval anytime soon. Also, while the author of this article points out the affordability of Tim Horton's coffee, he/she doesn't point out that the company's refusal to adopt ethical production standards - such as the Certified Fair Trade label - allows them to keep their costs so low.

All told, there are a number of Canadian exports that I'd more enthusiastically endorse entering the US market. Tim Horton's coffee is poor quality, and offers no alternative to conscientious American consumers. Five words: stick to your local roaster.

Tom, I 'm sorry to say that the NYC area Tim Hortons do not represent the rest of the chain. While the coffee at Tim Hortons locations in NYC frequently tastes bad, it's rare at locations in Canada, New England, upstate New York, Ohio, West Virginia, or Michigan. For obvious reasons, the employees in New York City are clueless as to what the difference is between cream, half and half, and milk. They also have no clue as to the difference between "Maple Dip" and "Canadian Maple" when it comes to the varieties of donuts. I hate to stereotype people, but the illegal alien morons who work at the NYC Tim Hortons are giving the chain a bad name...
