Tim Hortons

Location Tips:
— There’s no drive through
— Parking is tight and terrible
— It’s the last Timmy’s on Westbound HWY1 if you’re leaving the city. Stock up on coffee here before your drive to the mountains.
— Plan to see a line up because everyone will be doing this.
— The lineup moves surprisingly fast.
— They give up customer service for speed. The questions they ask are in the wrong order from any other fast food restaurant you’ve ever been to so you’ll get cut off when you try to speak.
«I’ll get a medium coff…» «To stay or to go?!»
Don’t know bagel types off by heart, what type of cream cheese you want or how to properly order a coffee with two creams and two sugars? Oh yeah, you’re definitely gonna get some attitude.
— Have a passenger? Good. Send them on the Timmy’s run while you fill up the vehicle before your mountain journey. The timing works out perfect.
We’ll assume you’ve been to a Tim Horton’s and no what you’re getting into. Chances are you’ve already formed and opinion about this chain that’s beloved by Canadians to a downright confusing extent. In terms of star rating, this location is entirely like every other location so with that in mind, here’s a few specific you might want to know.

Been here a few times to have a beverage and chat with a friend — it’s a bit noisy and it could be cleaner. As others have noted, it shares the tarmac with a busy gas station, so getting in and out of the parking lot can be tricky. Be sure to watch out for vehicles darting in and out of the laneways. It’s not hip or cool or anything like that, but what did you expect, fair trade organic artisan roast?

This place is a nightmare in the mornings until mid-​afternoon. Parking is a disaster in the winter as they probably lose ¹⁄₃ of the parking spaces due to people not being able to see the lines and just seem to haphazardly line-​up their vehicles in something close to an organized fashion. The line inside is long and the staff aren’t great.

Loses a star for lack of a drive thru and limited parking. Other than that it is your typical Timmy’s. Awesome friendly staff. Consistent food and coffee. A bit busy with the nearby hospital but I don’t mind the opportunity to check out cutie EMS and Firefighters.

A Tim Hortons near a residential area & a busy road with no drive through. Expect a long line up.

If you want to meet a doctor, this is the place to be.
Situated across the road from Foothills Medical Centre, the usual crowd of this Tim Hortons is comprised of Doctors, Residents, Nurses, Med and Heath Sciences Students and other university/​patient populations.
The parking lot here is a nightmare if you are trying to visit at any other time of day after 7 am. The shop is fairly small and the line snakes around the entire establishment.
Surly staff, who seem to be going a little slow, but if I was in my mid-​fifties and working in a Tim Hortons, I would be surly too.
Only thing good about this store is it is a 24 hour location, which is nice, especially for those shift medical workers. Great for last minute breakfast «catering». Though I was charged for 12 muffins and only got 6. Where are my other 6 muffins?! The muffin man will tear out my soul.

This one is pretty standard with the rest of them, although the only time I’ve been here I must have got the crankiest worker of them all… I came during a busy time and I know how stressful it can get working in the service industry when it is busy, however, I also know how to «keep calm and carry on». This one girl didn’t.
First of all, my friends and I all ordered one after another. I figured I would probably get my order a couple minutes after they all did since we all got the same stuff. Well, they got their stuff and then went and sat down and had nearly finished their food before I had got mine. The person making food was just kind of throwing the food on the counter and then when people would ask her to repeat what it was that she had put on the counter, she got pretty annoyed and snapped at them what it was… Oh well, we all have our bad days, this girl could have just been have a really bad day, or maybe she’s been replaced since then.
All in all, it’s the same as any other Tims! Pretty clean, just not a lot of parking I found when I went.

I have been in this Tim Hortons a number of times, and the product is consistent with other Tim Horton’s I have gone to.
The store is quite large, clean and the staff are friendly.
Where they lost a star on their rating is the parking lot. Anyone who has been there would likely have to chuckle and agree. This is likely not Tim Horton’s fault, but between the gas station, convenient store and Tim Horton’s all sharing an awkward-​shaped parking lot, it is a bit of an «accident waiting to happen».
Enjoy the Timmy’s — I give them full points on everything, but the parking lot is like a game of Frogger, so don’t text and drive!
