Big Ramy 1314 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Just curious to see what everyone thinks of Tim Hortons coffee shops in Glasgow, or anywhere else in Scotland. Tim Hortons is massive here in Canada. In Ottawa they are all over the city. I go every morning on ma way to work. Do they have the Drive-thru in Scotland as they do here? Cheers. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Went to the one in Silverburn a few weeks back. The coffee was certainly strong, I was wired for about an hour afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Never tried it. The only time I've heard of it is in the sponsorship of Roar of the Rings. Have you got any interest in curling, Ramy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 The coffee is decent. The famous "Tim Bits" were disappointing. It's ok. 3 sites in Glasgow now with more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It's certainly a bit of a Canadian icon. I had no idea who Tim Horton was until my cousins over there filled me in. It must've been a bit like me having to explain to them who Jimmy Johnstone or Jim Baxter were... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Horton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did alot for young children at summer camps. I must go to Tim Hortons atleast 5 or 6 times a week..Even ma wife loves the dark roast coffee. I am nit surprised it opened in Scotland. Their advertising market here is so big. It appeals to folk of all ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I honestly feel their coffee has being going downhill ; still go there regularly and they are always busy ; 2 new ones have opened closer to our house since moved to calgary in 06 ; one of these walking distance ( which is unusual for suburbia here) they almost shot themselves in the foot last month re new labour laws and treatment of staff at one branch - think as passively nationalistic folk are here ; they could have easily turned en masse ditching what is now very much an institution here the choice/convenience/cost has a lot to do with it too id say the younger generation are likely more starbucks inclined ; but for many $2 per coffee is limit i think now McDonalds coffee is better than Tims - even the dark roast ; but often kids in tow ; easy to grab stuff for them to eat at tims ( which feels healthier ; soup sandwich etc v big mac....)and breakfast options on road to skiing etc not sure if will catch on at home ; theres a few in NE USA also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
