Tim Hortons

Love Tim hortons… it’s better than Dunkin and Starbucks. Their coffee and Tim bits are delicious… this location also has cold stones inside it. Perfect combination!

I don’t mean to disagree with the other Unilocalers but I had a really positive experience. This was my first Tim Hortins visit and I realize that it’s location in a train station probably isn’t on par with other locations, but it is what it is. It’s also pretty much attached to the Nathan’s, so you can get a coffee, donut, and hot dog at the same time.
I was confused about what to order and the cashier was extremely patient with me. True, it was a non-​busy time, but she was an absolute sweetheart. The frappé I got was delicious so no complaints here.

After years of watching Tim Horton commercials on Canadian hockey feeds, I wanted to give TIm a shot. The place is dirty and attracts a lot of strange characters who the cops love to tell «take a hike pal». They do have a nice variety in donuts which differ from Krispy Kremes and Dunkin Donuts, the Maple Dip was ahhhhhmazing. The coffee and tea not so much.

want a break from Starbucks get a french vanilla from here. Not at par with Starbucks but alot better than Dunkin.

Horrible service, everyone working here is extremely rude and has an attitude. Don’t come to this location ever!

As a Canadian, it pains me to have to downgrade Tim Hortons but the coffee at the chains in the US is horrendous. Even the Iced Capps tasted odd.

Following great disappoint of a job fair, I seek comfort for small substance of breakfast nearly 12 noon. Service is in typical New York abrasive TOILET fashion of the apathetic dead soul, yet the breakfast sandwich and hot tea in near 2,000 F degrees of a blazing hot humid June day was comforting. The cashier upgraded my order to a set meal which included one donut as I love Canadian maple to reminisce happier times of Montréal and Quebéc City, Canada. Amid, the donuts encased, I suspect this Tim Hortons with strong ethics and morals really earned their B grade from the Department of Health as it appears different.
This Tim Hortons is retail space shared with Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and Häagen-​Dazs.

Best cuppaccino. Their large I believe is the same size as Venti. if I’m not wrong.
And donuts are delicious… the breakfast is far superior to that of McDonalds and Burger King.

Ugh. Location, service, cleanliness? I don’t even want to speak about those things.
What else is there to mention anyway? It’s a chain with the same items from store-​to-​store.
The above things are that bad… why bother.

4 stars for the drip coffee ONLY.

I had to take a shower after leaving here.
I am new to Herald Square in the daytime, but taking a class here for a week, I roamed around during the day. Shitty food is the norm here, so I went with something safe: a sandwich and salad at Tim Horton. BIG MISTAKE.
I walked in and nearly slipped on the floor. No, not because it was freshly cleaned. Instead it was soaked from homeless sweat. I checked out KFC first. My heart said yes but my stomach said no. I couldn’t handle greasy food at that moment, so I went to Tim Hortons.
On my 100 yard journey in this rest stop located in Herald Square, I walked by junkies, drunks, homeless, and self-​hating Hipsters in suits who actually work. They are self-​hating because they change back into «vintage» clothes when they are on the L train to maintain the appearance that they are «starving artists.»
I should have left but I didn’t. Now, I am all for diversity in NYC. Street vendors, Dunkin Donuts, and the Bodegas are great. But, the workers in TH had such an accent, I could not even understand them. I assume that is why my coffee order got messed up, but they fixed that right away. I was hoping the food I ordered would redeem this place, but it did not.
I sat down to eat my lunch, but I soon realized a role reversal as I became lunch for the flies who reside there. Not flies that came in through the door, but house flies who live indoors. This place was FILTHY and I nearly puked. I had to watch homeless people exchanging goods across the table and a Hipster paying 3 bucks for Internet use.
The chicken sangwich I had was about 3 inches and the soup was plain nasty. I walked out of there and found the Crab Juice vendor to wash that disgusting experience out of my mouth.
Tim Hortons: NEVER AGAIN

I tend to like Tim Hortons, and I especially like the chicken ranch wraps for $ 1.89 a piece, but this is definitely one of the worst Tim Hortons I’ve ever experienced.
Everything was fine at first. Waited in line for a cashier to open up and proceeded to order one of the cheapest lunches available within a 10 block radius of my office (2 chicken ranch wraps = $ 4.12 with tax included). I pay with my debit card, and the cashier hands me the signature receipt instead of the receipt that shows what I ordered. Well, okay. I wait a couple of minutes for the wraps to be made, and I DON’T MOVE from the counter that I ordered from. I’m wearing the exact same clothes, and I look exactly the same. Pay attention, this is important.
The same person who swiped my card and made my wraps looked at me like I was an alien from outer space when I reached for the bag with my wraps in them. She asked me if they were my wraps, and I said yes expecting her to hand them over. She then asked if I’d paid for them. *blank stare* Um, duh. I’ve been standing here the whole time, here’s the receipt you JUST gave me! She then looked at it like «why do you have a signature receipt?» YOU GAVE IT TO ME!!! I think she could detect my frustration and finally gave up the wraps.
At least the wraps were good. Can’t say that for the rest of the experience though.

I love Tim Horton’s but the one here is just… bad. I’ve complained about the incompetence of the staff at the KFC mere steps away, but the stupidity is contagious to the Tim H. people. I’ve had my order screwed up, I’ve seen one person take the orders and prepare them while the other employees stare at the ceiling… when there is a line of people, and I’ve been given drinks far below average compared to other Tim Horton’s. They are not following the recipe here and don’t care.
Don’t go to this one, they will make you cry and hate Canada.

SO OVER-​HYPED. although interesting to try and understand canadians, i’ll take my krispy kreme and dunkin donuts and mister donuts over this any day. that said, i do believe tim hortons in canada probably actually taste better… so i’ll hold my tongue until i get to eat them there. but the donut holes or «tim bits» as they call them were extremely cakey and somewhat dry. maybe if i dunked them in milk or something it’ll help to change the texture. the actual donut itself had a completely different texture. it was more fluffy and like-​able. that or something happened to it while it sat on my counter overnight. you be the judge.

Overhyped … can’t believe I supported the Canadians by purchasing iced cappuccino! Only for my date did I go here for him. Let’s just say he is dead in my eyes.

It’s good because I live 10 feet from the place and there are no DDs around. Quick service, OK coffee. REAL cheap on cream, always.

I had read about Tim Horton’s up in Canada but did not realize that they had finally arrived in NYC. Very much like a Dunkin. Coffee is OK but Café Metro does much better. The breakfast sandwich is pretty good –sausage, egg and cheese on a decent biscuit. Tried a glazed doughnut which was very light, maybe too much so. Nothing to get excited about. Prices are OK, my combo was $ 5.50 with the tax.

Old habits die hard — and so does the loyalty to a coffee shop you already like. as in — switching to Tim Hortons from Dunkin Donuts. Ok, so I tasted Tim Hortons for the first time a couple of days back. It was a hot day so I chose a small Iced cappuccino. It was good stuff… the coffee flavor was prominent despite it being iced…
This being my first taste of Tim Hortons, I give it a cautious 3.0. Maybe after a couple more visits, I’d rate it higher…

No! Tim Horton’s invaded Rhode Island, ate up all the Bess Eatons with their delicious iced coffee with crushed ice, and now they are coming to NY and threatening my beloved Dunkin’. It’s not very good. They have weird flavors of bagels (blueberry, but no sesame?) and coffee is inferior… boooooo. Dunkin’ forever.

Oh, how I love getting my mouth around Tim’s Bits. So nice and round and soft, they practically melt in your mouth.
So yeah, I’m that predictable. I went to Tim Hortons today, on it’s opening day. Yes, they were giving away free coffee for its opening day. And yes, there was a lot of excitement because there was a Tim Hortons in New York. (Okay, I was the one who had a lot of excitement, kill me.)
I just had to get my 20 pack of Timbits, which consisted of five chocolate glazed, five regular glazed, five baked and five white powdered. All of this for the low price of $ 3.69!
In all fairness, I will say that there was much that needs to be improved. All the employees were running around like chickens without a head, because it seemed no one knew the menu. The person I ordered from had no idea what Timbits were. And I don’t like that this location is one of those «hybrid» locations, because in this one location you have Tim Hortons, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Nedick’s. And for an opening day, the place was a filthy mess, I hate to say it. But I will give it a little time. And nothing but nothing beats Timbits.
Ahh, this is funny: about 20 feet from this location, there was a dude from Dunkin’ Donuts with a huge sign hanging from his neck, advertising that the nearest DD was on 31^st and 5^th Avenue, passing out coupons as well. Seems someone feels threatened already, hmm…
