Living my adulthood in New England, I've come to accept the dominant coffee chain head quartered in that region (hint: It rhymes with drunken). However, when I head westward, I really appreciate the widespread locations of Tim Horton's "Cafe & Bakeshop". The coffee is excellent, but the key differentiator here is "Bakeshop", as Timmy's makes ALL their food products in each location, e.g., doughnuts, bagels, sandwiches, wraps, etc. Unlike the competing chains, Timmy's food items aren't made then frozen in a NJ factory, & anyone can instantly tell the difference! I've been to countless locations across upstate NY & across the northern Midwest, and this Pembroke, NY cafe is as consistently quaint/cozy as the rest. Our group tried a good variety of menu items and enjoyed them all - see pics. Good value & service as always.
PS. Kudos to counter employee who noticed me pondering the baked goods display case on which doughnut to buy for my Dad. He asked what type i was seeking and then went and got my Dad's exact fav from in a freshly made batch :-) read more
