I lived in Donelson in the 1990s and made frequent trips to Canada. But I never imagined decades…read morelater that my favorite Canadian coffee-shop chain would open an outlet in the heart of Donelson! From the mid-1970s to the summer of 2023, this property hosted a deplorable Krystal, a Nashville expansion project from a Chattanooga-based chain in which I had no interest. But on July 19, 2025, Tim Hortons officially debuted the state of Tennessee's first location here (after a soft opening on July 1). And with that, they converted the old Krystal building from an irrelevant and dated restaurant to a bright and shiny destination for Tim Hortons fans! And now, I can get my Canadian donut fix anytime I want! Being Tennessee's first isn't the store's only accolade. It's the only Tim Hortons within the Nashville city limits, one of four in the Nashville metro all lying in close proximity in the eastern suburbs. And greatest of all, it's the only Tim Hortons in the first 1,648 miles (70%) of eastbound Highway 70, one of America's longest roads connecting Arizona to the Atlantic Ocean. That makes it the westernmost Tim Hortons on all of Highway 70! And naturally, the Canadian maple donut is stupendous at this location. All the donuts are delicious, and the service is pretty good (depending on which employees are working). The door handles have hockey sticks, and the signpost out front is topped with a Canadian maple leaf. A mural inside pays tribute to one of the greatest NHL players who founded the company, the late Tim Horton (1930-1974). We're blessed to have Canada's largest fast-food franchise and the world's 25th largest with 6,000+ worldwide locations! It's a nice alternative to the other donut shop chains.

And while I have only had one beverage...three times now...I will say that I am impressed and a fan of the brand! This location, being brand new, has all the bells and whistles that Dutch Bros Coffee are known for including the walk up window, dual drive thru lanes and of course all the coffee goodness you can handle. And on top of that, when the line gets backed up at any level, a convoy of folks come running out of the back door to greet and take orders mid-line. It make the line move so much quicker...and on two of my trips by I was able to get my drink before I even got to the window! Making it to the window isn't so bad though, as the service is absolutely stellar! They are friendly, helpful and seem genuinely happy to be slinging the good stuff. Overall, I am still a Scooter's loyalist...but since there is not one on my end of town, Dutch Bros has me converted! That iced white chocolate is the absolute business!
