Tim Hortons

They’re small and closed for renovations, but they’re better than the other time Hortons further down QQ.

This Tim’s is right in the Habourfront area on Queens Quay, right down from Rogers Centre. I parked in the Queens Quay/​Rees parking lot before eating near here and then going to the game and we used this Tim’s for a water and bathroom stop. Everyone from Blue Jays game goers, young families out for the sunny day, and some taking a bit of nap on the tables. Lines were ok moving, but took a lot of explaining to get an iced coffee with splenda only (no cream). Only 1 person bathrooms available. Thankful my auto reload Tim Card can be easily used on both sides of the border! Wifi wouldn’t connect on our phones so we did not stay long.

Horribly slow. Half the employees are great, the other half seem miserable. In the afternoon they don’t seem to listen to your order and then get angry when you correct them. Ah well, at least it’s a Tim’s within walking distance.

Typical tim Hortons. confession I only go there when it’s raining and I don’t want to get wet crossing the street to Starbuck :-)

Lineups are insane on the weekdays but the staff is friendly and efficient…
I measure Tim horns locations by their hot chocolate… its not their bread and butter so to serve a decent one is an iindication that they take pride in quality across the range of products their location offers… Call me crazy but its how i roll.
Their hot chocolate is seriously a hot or miss but more often a miss.
Also there are great coffee options all around this location so unless you like lines or still think Tim hortons is Canadian (its not) you are probably better off hitting another spot… me i live tidbits so i will continue to frequent this spot and hope for a good hot chocolate day!

Great food, with seating area, but it has long lines and if it’s busy, it’s hard to get a table.

The usual Tim hortons

What makes this location stand out from any other Tim’s in the city? Well… it’s certainly not the food or coffee! It’s a tiny little store, tucked away in the middle of the east side of the Queens Quay terminal. (QQT is a rather tarted-​up, touristy trapping, over-​priced, yet appealing building with condos up top, offices just below and a retail concourse with a few restaurants)
The best part of this Tims is absolutely the patio. You can enjoy your beverage with the delightful sights, sounds, smells and birds that you only get right on Toronto Harbour at the foot of York street.
I can’t give Timmy’s a good review only because Timmys coffee SUCKS! (And they no longer fry up fresh anywhere! It’s all frozen and re-​heated) (Please don’t send me hate mail or letter bombs… I just don’t like the coffee. I find it way too weak for my taste. I’m a coffee snob I guess… It’s the price I have to pay ever since getting a taste for finely crafted espresso by my own hand with my Italian machine) If you do like the coffee, then this place won’t disappoint.
Also, due to the nature of this place, it’s often SUPER busy, so if your absolutely itching for your timbit fix, you’ll have to wait for it. Thankfully the line moves well… but since it’s so out of the way with no external signage of any kind, you would expect it to be empty. Sadly no, it almost always has a lineup.
