Tim Hortons

Good coffee. Still open and operating.

This location obviously cannot compare to the Canadian stores I am use to. Located in a small corner shop shared with KFC, this timmies has everything you need from ice caps to timbits. I asked for 2 dozens of maple dip and they were able to make it for me fresh. Although it took 20 mins, I appreciate their efforts of meeting my requests.

food and coffee are 4 stars!
service 1 star for this specific location. let’s just say everything was boched up.
–pointed to the small coffee, she gave me a large.
–asked for a double double, she gave me coffee with cream and no sugar.
–ordered a sundried tomato with asiago cheese bagel, cream cheese on side. got a bagel with cream cheese in it. notified the person who took my order and she simply SHRUGGED her shoulders.
–got to my office to eat the bagel and realized they gave me a jalepeno bagel instead.
COMPLETE failure on all levels. whoever the manager is… your staff sucks!

My donuts are always turned upside down. Hence, the frosting is all over the bag when I get back to the office. This week, I ask for a donut and she gave me a muffin. When she may the exchange, I didn’t get back my difference when I was overchaged. Lousy clueless service. I rather go to a Starbucks.

I come here everyday. The employees start making my drink without even asking me what I want (now thats service!). They are all amazing and I don’t go anywhere else because of it. And get this … they don’t make me put in my own milk and sugar. Eat that Starbucks.

OK, while I am technically writing about a certain Tim Hortons (the one I pass by on the way to work), this is more a general review of the chain.
Tim Hortons is Canada’s version of Dunkin Donuts. Both serve great donuts and very decent coffee.
What makes Tim Hortons stick out are their maple donuts. I usually get a regular maple donut and a maple-​cream filled donut. Once I taste one of these, I just want to belt out a chorus of «Oh, Canada!»
This was most probably a Christmas product, but I had their candy cane chocolate donut last month, which was phenomenal.
I’ve been to the Tom Horton’s on 6^th Ave (by 38^th St.) and in Penn Station. All three are pretty good and have the same friendly service.
One difference between this particular Tim Hortons (47 E 42^nd St.) and the other two is that this one shares space with a KFC. I’m not a fan of KFC in general, but I really dislike this one (bad service/​bad food). I really wish the KFC would move out, and there could be more room for Tim Hortons!

Four stars for the comedic value that the KFC (shared space) provides. Upon entering today, I overheard a woman complain «I ain’t paying no seven dollas fo two pieces of chicken.»
Three stars for the donuts. It’s much cleaner than the Dunkin’ Donuts that was here before & the donuts are soft & delicious. I love the maple pecan danish as well. The staff is very friendly, fast & polite.
The hot chocolate is disgusting. It is basically sweet brown water. There are plenty of Starbucks in this vicinity & I’d spend the extra money on hot chocolate there.

I’ve only had coffee from here, so I can’t really speak for anything else. It’s always hot and fresh, and the service is pretty fast. No complaints here.

Small place
Takeout; nowhere to sit.
I had this heavenly drink 8)
Picture:
I don’t see what all the complaints are about

It was so hard locating this branch because it is inside KFC — and the sign isn’t even too big! :/
Anyone who has been to Canada will understand why a queens chick like me don’t mind commuting to the city for their heavenly donuts & coffee — timmy’s is the Canadian equivalent of Dunkin Donuts but IMO, Timmy’s is sooooo much better! Big fan of their Canadian maple, sour glazed, blueberry & honey dip donuts! Anyways, since I bought a half dozen for home, i will go downstairs and get fat eating all of them — yaay me! :)

The doughnut I got here was good but the service was awful. Rudeness & total rushing out. I’m sure the real chains in Canada are better than this faux chain.

As I click the «Two Stars» icons before typing this review, I wince a little because really, my initial instinct was to give this place just one star. Anyone who follows my reviews knows that I’m usually very generous and try to find the best in any business, so what was the problem? Quite simply, the service here was absolutely horrific.
I stopped by this Tim Horton’s to pick up two boxes of their coffee and a pack of donuts for a meeting. I budgeted a half hour to get there and back (it’s three blocks from my office) and get the food. It was around 10:30am, so the initial rush hour pack was gone so I figured this would be easy peasy.
I walk in and there’s one guy in front of me — excellent. I put my order in and… stood there as I watched them take four more customers that walked in after me while ZERO movement occurred on my order. Ten minutes went by and they hadn’t even asked me what dozen donuts I wanted and I did not see the boxes of coffee anywhere.
Once ten minutes passed, I spoke up and told them to please start putting my order together and they tried. There was a lot of yelling across to the KFC people to help out, ineffecient bumping in to each other of employees. I swear, in any other context it looked like an SNL skit. Finally I got my donut box put together… and then they actually RAN OUT of coffee. So I had to stand there and wait for a whole new batch to be brewed and poured into the boxes.
In the end? I wound up getting to the meeting late and you know what? The coffee wasn’t all that great. The donuts were on par with Dunkin Donuts, but the only ones that stood out were the maple ones.
The only redeeming factors? The maple donuts are good and they were very pleasant, if not competent. I’ve been to other Tim Horton’s branches in the city (when they first started appearing) and this is by far the worst. Next time I need donuts for a meeting, I’m going to Dunkins.

2 stars on Unilocal?Sniffs.
Timmy’s reminds me of my trips to Toronto. I would get their iced cappuccinos 3 times a day. No Joke. I am addicted to them and I usually don’t like coffee type drinks.
I was so glad to see that Tim Hortons opened up in NY. Before this, I didn’t know of any stores located within the U.S.
Most of the Tim Hortons I’ve visited in Canada sell doughnuts, soups, sandwiches, salads, desserts, coffee and loads of baked goods. The stores are like cozy cafes.
This location sells only doughnuts and coffee I believe (like most of the Tim Hortons in NY). The set up isn’t very impressive and is right beside a KFC. Definitely NOTHING compared to the ones in Toronto.
If you ever find yourself in Canada, don’t let your bad experiences here stop you from trying their Tim Hortons. It’s MUCH MUCH better.
I give you 5 stars Timmy’s (at THIS location) for your incredibly refreshing Iced Caps! I have tried the Iced Caps at some of their other NY locations and they do not make it as well. This is the only location I’ve found that makes them as close to the ones I had in Toronto. Why can’t they just be consistent at all NY locations? Strange.

I love Timmy’s!
Sure the place is VERY small and shares space with a KFC, but it is still Tim’s. There really isn’t much room in the place at all (maybe 4 people can stand at the counter), but the help did a nice job of getting my order done fast courteous.
The coffee was as always very good. The sizes seemed to have gotten bigger though. I also got a 20 pack of assorted Timbits. Very good. The place knows how to make a donut. The toasted coconut was fantastic.

See my review in January. I stopped in here Saturday to see if anything had changed. It hasn’t. And the coffee is either even worse than it was, or I’ve simply forgotton just how bad it was. Save a life; eat somewhere else.

«like Maple Syrup, Canada’s evil oozes over the United States»
disclaimer: I didn’t pay for my meal.
explanation: when Tim Horton’s first came to the Big Apple from the Land of Ice and Snow, they were giving out $ 5 gift cards as promo items, and given my power to sense free shit from 5 miles away, I acquired one.
I tried a sausage and egg wrap. it was cheap ($ 1.99) and decent, but not great. there was a somewhat spicy sauce mixed in, which I am still not sure if I liked or not. the wrap bread itself was bland, and not really rolled into a wrap, but more like a taco. the sausage and egg sections were tasty.
I would go back to sample the donuts, but probably not the breakfast sandwich options. a maple syrup donut? the Phantom is intrigued.

Let me first say I LOVE Tim Horton’s. In Buffalo they’re on every corner and you can go in one and get the greatest service there and expect the same at most of them, if not all.
Let me say next that this was no Tim Horton’s. Screw this place. And mixed with KFC!!! WTF is that!?! The coffee was standard but the service was shit. The place looked like your average shithouse KFC so no surprises there. What a dump.

Doughnuts Eh?! Ok, I’ll have a go.
Jesus Murphey. If you want to be a good friend, bring me some Maple Cream. They’re Boston Cream, but instead of the chocolate frosting on the top, it’s a maple syrup base. Timbits are a treat. They’re not too sweet or overwhelming with flavor. My favorite Timbits is the berries one. Yum.
Luckily I have some self control, but if I have a bad moment, you’ll see me in joggers to accomodate the ever expanding waistline.
Haven’t tried the coffee yet, but everyone in front and behind me only ordered that. I was the only doughnut person.

After the brew ha-​ha of this former Dunkin Donuts converted to Tim Hortons last July, I wanted to stop by the shop for donuts and coffee. I couldn’t find the store initially so — who did I naturally ask but a cop.
This outlet shares space with a KFC which can be harrowing to negotiate for attention. The display case is small and the selection there seemed sparse. Two plasma displays hung on the far wall to view the prices which is welcoming. I did have a blueberry donut as well as an latte which brought my tally to $ 3.65. You could also get a dozen donuts for $ 7.69, dozen muffins for $ 11.99 and 40 Timbits for about seven bucks.
The pastry is good but not outstanding with a blueberry filling as well as frosting. The coffee is mild but sweet to my liking. I got to sit down stairs in the dining area away from the hustle and bustle at street level. No elevator though.
Overall, this Tim Hortons near Crand Central Station is just good for a quick pitstop.

Let me preface this with my major bias towards Tim Hortons.
I Am Canadian, therefore I am also super excited about the arrival of the Tim Hortons chain to NYC. Hence the extra star.
This location is a little bit small and difficult to see tucked in alongside the KFC where Dunkin Donuts used to be. It’s convenient for anyone near Grand Central, but due to the size and being new it can see quite a lineup.
For those unfamiliar with this Canadian equivalent to Dunkin Donuts, they offer some of the cheap and best (at least to me) coffee. I think this is partly due to the fact that they have strict 20 minute brew policies. So there’s never a pot just sitting there for hours. Whether that training has trickled down to these locations or not is yet to be determined. However as far as my palate can discern it certainly has.
In addition to coffee and donuts are all the various quick bites like sandwiches, soups and chili (awesome in the winter) that you can pick up here for cheap.
The combo meal deals are whats great. Definitely check it out!
