Tim Hortons

Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, Terminal 1 D gates
There are 2 Timmy’s in T1 at Pearson that I know of. One is in the F gates (US gates) near gate F66. This listing I’m assuming is for the domestic gates (D gates). This location is just past security on the left side.
This particular Timmy’s is really busy. It’s the first place most people see upon passing security and while there are plenty of restaurants in this part of Pearson, Timmy’s is just very popular for breakfast in the morning and coffee.
This is also a good place to get a bottled water at a reasonable price considering other vendors post security will gouge you for drinks because you’re not allowed to go through security with any liquid exceeding 100ml (3 fl oz).
I’m not big on Timmy’s hot breakfast. Honestly if you want a real sit down breakfast at a decent price you can have a nice sit down breakfast at A&W near the end of D gates for under 10 bucks.
Timmy’s is cheap, and it tastes cheap. The best item for breakfast is probably the bagels. The biscuits seem dry, not fluffy and flat. The eggs they put on the biscuits just seem so pre-​made.
During am hours there’s a seperate line just for beverages on the right (630 to 10am I think).
The doughnuts are not as good as they used to be. Overall I think the quality of Timmy’s has gone down. My favorite doughnuts are French crullers and they seem to run out of those. I think those are the only fried ones.

ten times better coffee than starbucks and not expensive ! and bagels are great… try cinnamon with butter :)))

***Tim Horton’s is very popular in Canada, which I think is due to their coffee; I did not love their doughnuts here, but they were surprisingly inexpensive for an airport eatery; I think if you want the real Tim Horton’s experience, you need to visit one of their standalone stores***
I remember having Tim Horton’s while spending time in Ohio and Michigan, but I do not remember it drawing the big crowds that the Tim Horton’s locations in Toronto attract. Whenever I walked by a Tim Horton’s in Toronto (whether it was a standalone location or the stand at Rogers Centre), there were huge lines, which I think is due to the popularity of their coffee.
Seeing all these people lining up for Tim Horton’s urged me to try them before returning to the U.S. I went to this location in the Toronto Pearson International Airport. This location is before security so you can have their doughnuts, sandwiches and drinks with friends and families before flying out of Toronto.
This location offered a small selection of their doughnuts. A lot of the doughnuts did not look that great. I do not think this location offers the freshly made doughnuts you would probably get at a standalone Tim Horton’s.
I had the maple glazed doughnut as well as some of Tim Horton’s doughnut holes (an apple fritter one and a pumpkin spice one). The glaze on the maple glazed doughnut was good. It had a light maple flavor and was not overly sweet or sugary that happens with a lot of glazes. The doughnut was too dense though and bread-​like.
The doughnut holes were more doughnut-​like. The apple fritter did not have the caramelized apple segments that make that doughnut what it is, but the pumpkin spice doughnut was good and was like a satisfying fall pumpkin muffin.
I also tried their Iced Capp, which was like a cappuccino slushie. It was refreshing and had a light coffee flavor.
Prices were very reasonable as doughnuts were less than a dollar and the iced drink was very inexpensive for an airport drink.
I did not love this Tim Horton’s location, but their offerings were not bad and their prices were surprisingly inexpensive for an airport eatery. I think though if you really want to experience Tim Horton’s, you need to visit one of their actual stores in Toronto.
I am not sure what they charge for parking at Toronto Pearson International Airport, but I imagine parking here is expensive like other major airports.

Line up: insane.
Service: friendly and efficient.
Food: breakfast sandwich at normal prices not inflated airport prices.
They need more payment terminals.
