Tim Hortons

It was early morning so the line was practically non existent, which works for me. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese, on croissant and a small coffee. Even though it didn’t look so wonderful it tasted pretty good. And there were more than enough seats and tables so I was able to get a quiet spot. It works to have to be here early before the crowd. The coffee was great. I ordered a small but looks like they gave me a medium oh well

When I told my Canadian friends I’d bring them here, they just looked at me. I’ve never been to a location in Canada, so have no basis for comparison. No complaints of the two (three?) locations within Penn Station, fairly basic. I like coming here because there aren’t as many cops as there are in other donut shops.

As a Canadian-​American, I do not think this location at Penn Station should exist. Rude, indifferent staff. Coffee does not taste like Timmys back home at all. And EVERY SINGLE TIME I have made an attempt to try and order one of their sandwiches on my way through Penn, they don’t have it. Out. Nada. 4 times now. Then, I attempt to order a second choice, out as well. The woman behind the counter just shrugs and says «Nobody orders it, so we don’t cook it». Guess what? I ORDER IT, BITCH! NEVER AGAIN.

Came here for a delicious Tim Hortons Grilled Tuscan Chicken Panini. When I went to get my order the gentleman working the counter said they don’t make sandwiches. (THE MANAGER) Which was weird since they have all the materials in the back.
Rude and lazy workers
¹⁄₁₀ would never come back here again.

This used to be a reasonably respectable Tim Horton’s. I’m a Tim Horton’s snob, though (my favorite one is in Toronto). Sadly, however, it appears to be closed.

Attention all CANADIANS!
As a fellow Canadian, it is my duty to issue this brief travel advisory:
The Tim’s in Penn Station is NOT even close to being as good as the ones back home. 100% no doot aboot it.
The service in general is adequate but indifferent. The donuts are stiff and a bit dry. And the coffee has a strange bitter taste that I did not recognize.
Full disclosure: I have never been there during daylight hours, always in the evenings. Not sure if that plays a factor or not in the level of freshness of their products.
Thank-​you for your time. Please enjoy the rest of your time in NYC, eh!

Fellow New Yorkers, especially those who take NJ Transit, Amtrak or the LIRR, if you haven’t tried the Ice Cappuccino here at Tim Hortons, I strongly urge you to check it out.
Sure, this franchise isn’t as refined as most of the chic coffee shops we’re accustomed to; and yes, there’s the fact that the temperature underground during the summer can get horrifically uncomfortable; and I’ll even admit that some of the workers here can be slow as hell without any regard to your train depart time, but I promise you, despite the obvious downfalls of this place (and there are many) the Ice Capp. is worth it.

HORRIBLE! Despite the excellent reputation that the Tim Hortons chain seems to enjoy in Canada, they certainly have not managed to achieve that with their tiny Tim Hortons outpost in front of the Hotel Pennsylvania. I made the mistake one morning, while passing, to walk inside this joint and order a breakfast sandwich, along the lines of bacon, egg and cheese on an English muffin. Well, it turned out to be ABSOLUTELY THE WORST breakast sandwich that I have ever tried to eat in my life, and I was forced to throw it away in disgust after two bites. The sandwich was the most bland, sterile, flavorless, anemic thing that I have seen that passed for food. The egg, despite the fact that I had ordered «whole egg» was just a tiny disk of bland white plastic matter with not a trace of yolk in it, and, as for the cheese, well, think of the very worst 1970s imitation «American cheese-​like food product» the cheese was grossy and the color was such a bright yellow that it scared me. As for the Canadian bacon, well, that is better left unsaid, else I might vomit on my keyboard from the memories.
I suggest that you avoid this place like the plague! Terrible!

Love this place! Everyone is always so nice. Quick and friendly service! I highly recommend them!

I wouldn’t go as far as saying that the doughnuts here are bad, but this is clearly the weakest of the three major doughnut chains at Penn Station (Krispy Kreme, Dunkin Donuts, Tim Horton). The doughnuts here just don’t taste right. It’s too cakey. Krispy Kreme is MUCH better.

Second best breakfast sandwiches of all time…

A cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and a small iced cappuccino for $ 6.50? Dayum!
While the bagel was delicious and the drink was perfect, the price and the extremely slow server threw me off.

I went to this Tim Horton’s in August of 2012 after I came back from Erie, PA on Amtrak. I bought a Maple Glazed doughnut during night time the topping was a little messy but the taste on top and the cream on the inside made a great second impression with me since I was leaving to go to Erie, PA 2 weeks before.
The other doughnut I had was a Boston Cream Doughnut and boy it’s sweeter and non-​greasy than Dunkin Donuts.
The double double (2creams and 2 sugars) were absolutely brilliant and it all added up to under $ 4.99 what a deal.
I’ve tasted Starbucks coffee and it’s bitter, and Dunkin Donuts coffee too mild but Tim Horton’s roasted coffee is perfect Medium Roast.
Anytime I go through Penn Station I’m coming for another Timmy’s Run.
Please serve poutine I really want some.

i had eaten at this chain many times while visiting montreal, but had no idea this existed in the states! since i liked their food in canada, i figured i would like it in the states as well.
i ordered a cold turkey sandwich ($ 4.79) and red velvet brownie ($ 1.45). the turkey sandwich consisted of sliced turkey and a bit of lettuce on white bread. they filled it with a lot of turkey, which i liked, but taste wise, it was just average. the brownie was tasty and had good texture. it was like red velvet cake, in slightly denser form. they also topped it with frosting (probably cream cheese) which was nice, just like a slice of red velvet cake.
customer service was just ok. it wasn’t very busy or crowded when i went, but for some reason the cashier did not seem very happy when i was there, and didn’t like it when i corrected her on which brownie i wanted.

Coffee here is slammin’!
Almost $ 2 for a small cup though?
Oh well, it wakes me up before heading to the office.

I took off one star because the layout is annoying. I adore Tim Hortons. Best coffee for a «chain» and it makes the donuts from Dunkin Donuts resemble greasy, oily, tasteless hockey pucks. Not that I’m a big donuts person, but you get my drift.
It’s also nice to get coffee here in Penn. Tim Hortons’ caffeinated offerings don’t taste like lighter fluid; always a good thing early in the morning or coming off a long trip.

youre my fav coffee place in all of manhattan. Not cause your coffee is so damn good I dream about it, but cause the girls that work there are the best. They know my order even if i’m not there for weeks on end, and prep it while I walk up. They smile and say they’re happy to see me, wish me a nice day when I leave AND hooked me up with a Tim Hortons card to save me $$ on coffee cause I go there everyday.
def something to be said about a smile and good customer service. I hope you ladies get a raise.

I’ve always enjoyed Tim Hortons’ Canadian Maple donut at $.95 accompanied with a hot cup of green tea at $ 1.84 as impromptu comfort food, but the staff at this location stolen my inner joy. (Non-​glazed donuts as classic ones are my ultimate preferred choice). Disappointingly, through a hard lesson learned majority of Pennsylvania Station, Long Island Rail Road Concourse level’s employees are stolid and extreme callous. Ayia, such apathetic, stolid and a unfathomably nasty high attitude index servicing clients which publicize employees’ extreme unhappiness and unfulfillable desire to be physically present. This is what these businesses call «customer service»? It is called lack thereof customer service as I’ve been newly liberated from a customer service industry!
Albeit Tim Hortons is a chain donut café and home based in Canada yet they seemingly do not have equipment for registers to print out sales receipts or sales record. The staff manually handwritten me a sales receipt still unable to fulfill my request for lack thereof information.

Coffee is pretty good. Didn’t have a chance to try their famous donuts but I will if I ever head up north again. I think I’d have to try this place again to give a more accurate indicator of how good they are. I literally was chugging this drink before I jumped on the LIRR at the last second and was almost late for my flight, lol. The hectic atmosphere might not have been conducive to that great of a drinking experience (or the reverse).

I’ll never forget the first time I tried Tim Horton’s. I was braving 20 below temperatures at the Heritage Classic — the first-​ever outdoor NHL game in 2003 — in Edmonton, Alberta.
On a night that beer actually froze, I stood in the top row at Commonwealth Stadium and warmed myself with a blend of Tim Horton’s medium roast coffee and Old Crow whiskey. I can almost taste it now, that was one of the best, coldest days of my life.
These days, I get my fill of Tim Horton’s at a far less exotic location: Penn Station’s LIRR terminal. Anyone who has frequented this branch of TH in the AM knows that barista Jimy is just about the happiest, freshest breath of air in the whole damn joint.
The other day I ordered a cup and then realized I had nothing in my wallet. No problem, Jimy said, you can pay me tomorrow. Anyone who wants my coffee, he said, gets my coffee.
I get it, Canada definitely gets it, and one day NYC may get it. Tim Horton’s is cool.
