Tim Hortons

Super friendly. I’ve never been to a Tim Hortons where they are so friendly and helpful. And as always, their coffee is fresh. Too bad we don’t have one in Orange County.

Spotted this Tim Hortons at the airport and our group just had to try it since it was our last chance before leaving Canada! The pastries on display looked delicious and I decided to order the glazed cinnamon roll. For only 1 CAD, these donuts are surprisingly tasty.
I also tried my friends’ boston cream and maple cream donuts and they were equally good. I’m glad I stopped by for some pre-​flight donuts.

Pure horrible. I had a ‘chicken’ salad sandwich. The chicken was so processed it had the texture of rubber and no flavour. Minging. Avoid if possible.

This Location amazed and floored me with their delicious Chill, White and and Boston cream Donut.
Not that I was very hungry or anything… the experience was great, inexpensive and fulfilling
I wouyld go back again any time and every time I get a chance

This is for the level 2 location. The staff here is great, but whoever makes the decision to only have muffins and bagels ready when they open needs to go to a business management class. Why would a restaurant open it’s doors and not have all the options on the menu ready, they are limiting themselves on potential earnings, some people would like a doughnut right away. This poor selection continues throughout the day, if you want a real selection there are 2 more open outside of security. (domestic departures level 3 and level 1) Even the location past security on level 3 U.S. departures is fully stocked when the passengers arrive.

Their food menu seems more extensive than Starbucks, starting with their donut shop offerings and then wandering off into sandwich and wrap land. The roast/​blend seems smoother and with less say char than a well known competitor.

Double Double, bitches!
(I really should work on my ordering finesse)
Okay, I didn’t really order my coffee like that. But, I will say that while the Double Double at the American Southwest’s In N Out burger joint is pretty damn good, the Canadian Version of it at Tim Hortons holds it’s own, too. I’ve read many conspiracy theories in regards to the making of their coffee. But, in all honesty, it doesn’t matter how they make it. Just as long as they keep making it the same way every time I go to Canada. I just wish they would open one up in California.
Now, about that finesse…
«Can I please have a Double Double… whores!»
Better.

4 minutes after the order is placed, the wrapped item is handed to me. It is warm and it weighed in at about 5 ounces. I sat down and unwrapped the sandwich. The biscuit had been cut and appeared grilled. It had a slightly crunchy exterior, moist and satisfying inside, a little bland.

It ain’t Canada without Tim Hortons, and the airport is no exception. They serve a pretty solid breakfast and their coffee tastes great. It’s a good place for a quick meal or a drink to grab on-​the-​go. Oh, and of course you gotta have yourself a donut mmm mmm.

The restaurant was open at 1am. The nice cashier made me a toasty Italian sandwich and handed me an Oreo donut. The bathroom was very clean so overall it’s a good place to visit right after you step off the plane. It’s like a cleaner and brighter version of Starbucks + McDonald’s,

3.5 stars but rounding down. This airport Tim Horton’s location has a better donut selection that I’ve seen at other airport locations, but they still don’t have as much variety as the regular stores (to be expected). Although they didn’t have my favorite Timbits (we Americans call them donut holes) here (Birthday Cake!!), they at least had the new Salted Caramel one. I tried:
–Chocolate Hazelnut Donut Filled w/​Nutella ($ 1.59): Not that great– there’s only Nutella in the middle of the donut, and the rest of it was dry and bland tasting.
–Box of 10 Timbits (Cinnamon French Toast, Salted Caramel, $ 2.09): I didn’t like the cinnamon french toast, which had too much cinnamon versus sugar. However, the salted caramel was really good– highly recommended!
–Pastry Pockets Filled w/​Nutella (3 pieces/​$ 2.99): Just ok– the pastry part wasn’t that great, but Nutella is always delicious.
There was a line when we got there but it moved quickly and the cashiers are nice. Definitely stop by if you’ve never tried Tim Horton’s (stick with their Glazed Old Fashioned and Timbits), or if you’re having a donut craving!

When in Canada, you have to try something «local». I don’t think it gets any more «local» than Tim Hortons… like a dunkin donuts or krispy kreme essentially… serves hot breakfast sandwiches also. I only tried two donuts: honey cruller and sour cream glazed. Both were ok. But I prefer krispy kreme… or better yet the local SF donut shops. Give me an apple fritter and a glazed old fashion and I’ll be a happy camper for hours!

This location is not bad, especially if you want some breakfast and sugary donuts that you can take on the flight although every time these never made it to the flight I would be so hungry. Good customer service as they are aware that they’re dealing with mostly non locals.

Busy location. Staff were helpful. I must say this is not a true Tim Hortons location as most of the staff belongs to YVR some union. Standardize menu. Nothing fancy. However, I noted that replenishment doughnuts not frequent as other locations. I want to buy order of Tim bits but there was only one kind left. Cashier told me that she does not know when new items come to shelf again (3.00pm on Sunday)

Has to be the worst Tim Hortons franchise in BC. Extremely slow service. There were 6 employees behind the counter and one cashier taking orders for the rest of the staff to slowly get wrong.

It’s a Timmys, just fine. Line can get to be a little long at sometimes. The coffee is pretty good here, I especially like the dark roast.

If you want a cup of nice coffee before you fly. This is the place to go. Price is reasonable too for the donuts and other food. So is a good place to go.

Food/​Cost: (⁴⁄₅) Got the Green Tea Smoothie and a Honey Cruller (about $ 3 for both) and loved both. The smoothie had surprisingly a strong green tea taste that was refreshing. The cruller was soft and moist on the inside, with the slight crunch of the sugar melted onto the outside. One [expected] downside to this location is that the smaller airport storefront means less donut varieties, but that’s a minor gripe and very understandable.
Ambiance (⁴⁄₅): Not much to judge here. The storefront is minimal and opens up to the airport with some tables and tall counter seating right in front. Patrons are travelers. I love being in airports — the hustle and bustle and the activity — so this setup suited me just fine.
Location (⁴⁄₅): Tim Hortons is located near the end of the domestic/​US terminal, next to a Chinese/​Japanese café. It’s conveniently located in the middle of a bunch of gates.
Service (⁴⁄₅): Both the cashiers and the people putting together the food orders were friendly and fast. No complaints.
Overall (⁴⁄₅): If I’m in this terminal again, I’d definitely pop back in for a cheap quick meal or snack.

A busy Timmy’s in Vancouver International. Luckily, it’s in the terminal where all us American’s can get one last steam tea before departing. This isn’t a full size Timmy’s, but keeps enough baked goods on hand to ensure there’s something you’ll want. And, it’s a option for sandwiches, too. They aren’t great, but a step up from Subway and much better than nearby options at Burger King.

It’s a bit quieter than the domestic ones, and its own corner locale. By gate 84.
Nice curved counter seating right in the front.

I’ve never heard of Tim Hortons since I’m from LA, but I guess it’s the Dunkin Donuts of Canada. I was stuck at the airport for 3 hours, so I decided to try their donuts. The nice kid in front of me said that their Sour Cream Glazed donut was «to die for,» so I got that and a Canadian Maple since I’m in Canada. I also got a large cup of coffee.
I’m a coffee snob, so their coffee was ok, but their donuts… oh, sweet heaven, they were so good! The Canadian Maple had cream in the middle and sweet maple on top… I probably could have eaten 10 of them in one sitting.
I wanted to take some home, so I went back. The lady recognized me and said, «Oh, you’re back.» I told her that I was taking them home to LA, and she probably thought that I was making it up. 3 Canadian Maples went into my carry on bag and safely tucked under the seat.

What is that long line for? Out of all the food spots at the Vancouver airport there was one that stood out because of the amount of folks all lined up. Which place was this? No other than Tim Horton’s!
Ever since I got to Vancouver I had this place on my bookmarks and I was so happy to see one at the airport. I stopped by before my flight to try Tim Horton’s for a late breakfast.
I got a egg sandwich biscuit with sausage combo with hash browns and a cappuccino. It was $ 3.26 for the sandwich and hasbrowns and $ 2.00 for the cappucino.
I also got some Canadian maple donuts for my cousin and myself for later. Donuts are 99 cents.
I was pleasantly surprised at how fair the prices were. Considering this is at the airport and considering how popular Tim Horton’s is, I thought it was pretty good prices!
Both the breakfast sandwich and the donut later were delicious. It’s typical breakfast fare but it is good. It was nice to try out a little taste of Canadian fast food. Out of all the things I tried the Canadian maple donuts and the cappuccino were the best!
