I'm not sure if I get the allure of Tim Horton's. I tried the donuts and they tasted both somewhat plain and stale. The coffee was run of the mill type of coffee. Service was fine as one would expect from dealing with people working in a kiosk. They have space allocated with standing tables on the side to allow consumers an area to eat. Maybe this is the best part of Tim Horton's being in the ground floor of the LIRR/AirTrain station? I was able to get better coffee nearby and for less, less than a block away. Competition is also mounting in the area with more businesses opening in its vicinity, so I likely will not return. read more

Donuts. HORRIBLE. Purchased a couple of Donuts (OREO & NUTELLA ) which were dry, stale, stiff and hard with a Hot Coffee that lacked Sugar. Had no idea TIMS had an outpost so far south of the CANADIAN border. CAUTION. read more

Stuck waiting for a train at Jamaica LIRR in the AM? The upstairs level Timmy H's is a great place to grab a sammie and chill next door at the standing tables. Decent and quickly served fast food served by surprisingly cheerful workers. Note: there is a nice new restroom adjacent to the standing table area, near the entrance to the Skytrain. Always clean. read more

For being airport food place, it was good. We had just gotten off a direct flight from PHX to JFK. And we were starving. We walked outside down the street but a bit but many food placing said that their sanitary grade was pending so we came back into the terminal and got Tim Hortons. The service was great. The two men working were kind and helpful. They answered questions about the menu and then worked quickly to get us our food. I got the steak and cheddar panini. My brother got the turkey bacon on croissant. We also got donut holes. The turkey bacon was better than the steak and cheddar panini. Of the donut holes the one with sprinkles was the best. Glad we came here. It was great! read more

In the middle of my JFK airport trek from deep in Queens, Tim Hortons at the Sylvester train station was a lifesaver. This was my first time ordering from there. The space was clean, and Simmi, the cashier, kindly refunded my order so I could re-order through the app for a better deal. I got a sausage, egg & cheese croissant and a free iced latte that was sweet and energizing. The croissant was fresh and soft. I recommend always downloading the app for deals to save a few dollars (especially in this economy!). Thankfully, TX has TH's so i'll for sure be returning! read more

I'm tempted NOT to leave this review. If everyone knew how good the French vanilla cappuccino is from Tim Hortons, the price might increase . I only get one a week but the guys are so on point, they start making my drink BEFORE I get to the counter. It's the "end of the line" from the airtrain and a huge transit hub connecting JFK to the 5 boros & Long Island. All this is to say, it's a very transient area & you'll likely have to walk past someone less fortunate to get your drink. If you can spare it, give to the less fortunate! If not, keep it moving read more

The Pumpkin Spice Ice Capp was my first pumpkin spice drink of the season, and it was a good one. It was a bit too icy, so the last few sips were tough to sip without poking at it a bit first. The line here wasn't too long on a weekday afternoon, and we shortly got our food and drinks. There's a few empty standing tables off to the side, but most people took their orders to go. read more

My absolute favorite coffee/donut chain! From the fresh, not overly sweet donuts to the unique seasonal coffee flavors to the amazing rewards system, Tim Hortons has a typical Starbucks and Dunkin beat! This location in particular is located conveniently inside of a well known subway station in Queens making it an every morning and sometimes nightly stop when traveling from Queens to Manhattan, Brooklyn or Long Island. The app offers incredible deals such as free Timbits or $1 cold brews quite often which is something you'll never see a Starbucks do. With how easy ordering on the app was and how quick the staff was, it was extremely convenient and reliable to grab a coffee timely before my city adventures began. The counter was always clean and donuts on display were neatly decorated and organized. Today's visit had me trying the Red Velvet Cold Brew (Free with donut purchase on app) and Honey Cruller ($2.00.) the cruller was delicious, soft, not too sweet and perfectly shaped. My cold brew was indulgent with a pleasant coffee taste and surely a red velvet lovers dream! All in all, anytime I'm visiting my family in Queens, Tim Hortons is a must stop for me. And not just once but at least twice! Against their competitors, Tim Hortons is a 5/5 but there are better coffees and donuts for not much of a price difference in lots of other mom and pop shops, something New York is not short of, leaving my rating a high 4/5. read more

Tim Hortons - Red Velvet Ice Capp & Honey Cruller - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jamaica, New York

At the Jamaica AirTrain stop, this is either my first or last food purchase in NYC. The flight from Hawaii lands about 7 am so this is a good place to get a coffee. And the flight to Hawaii is at 10 am so this is a good place to get a coffee too. But I usually come here to get the donuts because donuts are so yummy. I like the nutella donut the most but I also get the bear claws too. I've never had an issue with the workers. They seem nice. Being a kiosk at the AirTrain stop isn't anything special. I just appreciate that I can get donuts here to either munch while I am waiting for AirTrain or the E Train. The place seems pretty clean and since it is set inside, you don't get bombarded by people. Yes, this place is a chain, but the consistency of their food and drink is great. I love Tim Hortons. read more

I understand you probably wouldn't be super enthusiastic to serve Tim Bits and Donuts to tourists and people who just paid over 8 dollars for the AirTrain, but service was really bleak. The bagel is also not the first bagel you should see when you get to NYC! Bagel is tolerable at best. read more

Tim Hortons - Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jamaica, New York

There are few food options for hungry travelers at the LIRR Jamaica AirTrain stop, and this one has potential but needs improvement. On my first visit, I noticed the pumpkin spice muffins and asked the cashier if they were as good as they looked. He assured me they were, so I bought a couple and brought them home. Ugh! Dry, mushy, and tasteless. Today I stopped for a croissant and chai tea latte. Croissant was fine but tea was taking longer than usual and when it arrived, it was coffee. The woman behind the counter was accommodating, but clearly annoyed that she had misunderstood and had to redo my order. The chai was good, but I could hear her complain to her coworker while I walked off to the table area, which has no seats. read more

Just the other day was my first time trying some tim Hortons doughnuts .I ordered a glaze doughnut a chocolate doughnut as well, plus a raspberry stuffed pastry,along with a chocolate covered frosted doughnut. The doughnuts were not really soft at all ,the raspberry stuffed pastry was actually good ,it was nice and soft really fresh .I got it by default, I was getting my wife a strawberry chesse cake doughnut for my wife but they didn't have it so the cashier gave it to me on the house. The customer service was great but the doughnuts need some work on them read more

This is a great place to go. If you need a quick stop and everything you need to eat and drink is here especially when you're at the airport as it's the only place I really ever see Tim Hortons. Great staffing service. The ambience is convenient and relaxing and I've never had a problem ordering here and always like to get the muffin, sausage, egg, and cheese sandwiches that is the Defne go to in the morning when you're on the go and a nice warm cup of black coffee... Hold the sugar. read more

This is the worst place to hang out while waiting for your train to LI. The girls behind the counter hate their job. They charged me 50 cents for hot water. No place to sit and it's germs galore. Everyone is sneezing. Lame menu unless you like junk food at 6:30 am after a red eye. If you like crabby girls taking your order after a red eye, this is the place for rude. I had a cup of coffee with skim milk and it was weak. Their espresso machine was broken so that wasn't an option. :( read more

Tim Horton's is a cultural institution in Canada. Besides the Mounties, Canadian Tire (aka Igloo Sears, ask about their Sandy McTire currency), those wacky NFB movies if you attend film school, The Trailer Park Boys and CBC's Hockey Night In Canada, Timmies is one of their better known national traits. Considering that Tim Horton (the namesake Hockey player) died in a car crash driving from Toronto to Buffalo (he was playing for the Sabres at the time and suspected of driving drunk) he was a well regarded figure south of the border in Western New York. The coffee-and-donut chain was also a bit of a treat during my UB undergrad days and us denizens of "sub-tropical Ontario" enjoyed their "roll up the rim to win" promotions as much as our Canadian compatriots up in The Six. Tim Horton's widow sold her half of the chain to her husband's business partner for a quick payout - then she regretted the decision and tried for years to get that half back - well, she somehow still got her foot through the door - her daughter is married to the partner's son, so there is a bit of family control even though no one up high is named Horton (well, at least it's not a Loblaw). The chain itself grew by leaps and bounds in Canada to the point where long distance road trips (something like Windsor, Ontario to Montreal, Quebec) is dictated by how many Timmies are on the Ontario 400 highways until you reach Autoroute 20 in Quebec, in which case you might stick with Timmies or hit either a Couche-Tard (French Canadian 7-Eleven clone), La Belle Province, (great poutine) or an Amir (Lebanese joint great for Koftes and Mint tea). Oh well, once you get to the ON/QC border you are only an hour from Montreal anyways - much greater things await. Timmies merged in 2014 with Burger King (which in itself are owned by a Brazilian venture capital fund), so you tend to see BK located close to Timmies in the Northeast - that's normal. That being said, they are not in New England (Dunkin donut's home territory)...and if you are in Maine with a hankering for Timbits you have to drive to Bangor for that. Downeasters typically gun for their own potato donuts. So, what's with Timmies in the Big Apple? Well, there's actually 2 kinds of Timmies - the ones that were formerly Dunkin Donuts held by the Reise Organization (they run tourist trap mini-food courts in midtown and I suspect the location upstairs at Airtrain Jamaica terminal), and the standalone stores (like the one downstairs on the ground level of the terminal) . The Reise ones, well, suck, and with the exception of the one at Madison Square Park/Penn Station, all of them have closed down. The standalone locations are the better ones, both in terms of turnover, management and menu choices. In fact, the reviews featuring rude / indifferent management and terrible coffee are typically from the upstairs location. The one upstairs is also priced for Airport tourists while the one downstairs is priced for local folks - so take the escalator down if you want to save a few bucks. So, let's set expectations straight here - Timmies is a Canadian Donut chain, so if you are expecting something more healthy lay off the crackpipe and walk south on Sutphin Blvd - there's at least 2 joints with juices and better food (Yah Suh AYCE, G's joint and Tony/Armando's Jamaican Deli comes to mind) within 2 blocks of this location, so if you are local and choose to bitch about the situation - that's on you. But if you are on the LIRR or heading to JFK, head downstairs - service is slightly better as is the food quality. Quality is arguably better than Dunkin, and you got some of the more interesting Mountie kibbie like the Maple donuts or Cream Filled Rings. As for drinks - the cold brew is a little odd (mine was warm off the cup and a bit sour), but on a hot day, the Ice Capps (Cappuccinos) are a must. AFAIK this is the only subway friendly Timmies in Queens - there are a few further away but they are part of the Bolla Markets attached to service stations. The other standalone Timmies are located across from Burger Kings in Staten Island. Huh, and if you want to be a punk, there is a Dunkin Donuts on the other side of Sutphin Blvd near the Urine scented underpass. Welcome to flavor country, pilgrim. read more

Tim Hortons - a person holding a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Apparently they have rodents running around here. From the health dept: Evidence of mice or live mice present in facility's food and/or non-food areas. Facility not vermin proof. Harborage or conditions conducive to attracting vermin to the premises and/or allowing vermin to exist. What a rip off. I would highly recommend NOT going here because of the prices. They are completely unreasonable and just prey on people who just got off the plane to NYC for the first time and don't know any better. You can literally walk right outside and get much more for your money at either Dunkin across the street or a bodega on the corner. Avoid at all costs. Owners are greedy. read more

Had fond memories of drinking coffee and snacking at various Tim Horton's when we were in Toronto a few years back. Came across this place at the train station in Jamaica. I'm usually not a donut person but I couldn't resist trying those finger licking donuts all staring at me. Decided to try the Boston Cream Chocolate flavor which was awesome! Loved how the calories info was displayed if you tried to make a "healthy" decision at the same time. Staff was friendly. For $1.09, the donut was very well worth the money and the calories. What a great snack! read more

Growing up in Michigan, I always went to Tim Hortons! It was the go too spot for iced Capps. But I moved to the west coast and no longer have any close by. I came on vacation to New York and saw that there was one in Jamaica. Since I missed it so much, we decided to drive over 30 minutes to get there, and I was so disappointed. Not only was the donut I got not fresh, but after I took a bite we noticed there were bugs flying around on the donuts. So no one else got one. Then the iced Capps, man, oh man: you know how food tastes really good when it's made out of love? We'll the complete opposite must've happen here. Our drinks were made with hate. I've never had such a nasty iced Capp. Seems like I really have to go back to Michigan or Cañada to get what I'm actually supposed to taste. Obviously I drank mine because I just missed it so much but no one else took more than a couple sips. It sucks because I recommended this place. read more

Tim Hortons - Iced Capp - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Tim Hortons is located by the entrance to the AirTrain to JFK airport. They have breakfast sandwiches, hot dogs, donuts, candy bars, etc. There aren't many options in the area and the choices are better than the Dunkin' Donuts downstairs. A bag of chips will cost you $2.50 so I'll go to the Newsstand by the LIRR platform, but if you're in the mood for a sandwich or hot dog, then this is the place. read more

Friendly & quick service coffee run spot for commuters and workers! I am a regular at Tim Hurton's at the AirTrain Building. I did not think I was going to like this place because I am a serious coffee drinker. I see that they also have quite a selection of teas such as Earl Grey and Peppermint Tea. I am giving them 4 stars for the great service and delicious variety of pastries. The ladies behind the counter are always very friendly and happy to take my order. They remember faces very well and they remember what you usually order. I have to admit that I have come to love their doughnuts more than Dunkin' Donuts. Their doughnuts are soft on the outside and the inside. This really helps a lot in the morning especially when you don't even have the energy to eat breakfast! I love the Honey Dip doughnut and Blueberry muffin which I would recommend. I will not say the coffee is bad or good. For a chain, it is pretty decent. I usually order black coffee. The bitterness of the coffee really helps wake me up early in the morning during work. It is really not a bad spot for a quick coffee run before getting back to your desk. read more

Oh, Canada! FINALLY. No need to cross the northern border to get my Timbits fix. Sorry, but no other American chain comes close to these babies. 10 for $2.59? Yes please! Not your birthday? Who cares! The birthday cake Timbits makes you feel like it is. SPRINKLES ON A BITE SIZED DOUGHNUT. If that can't make you smile on the dreariest of cold winter days, I don't know what can.

This Tim Horton's is located just outside the gate to the AirTran (you don't need an AirTran ticket to access it)...and it is a GODSEND. Seriously. Gone are the days when you have rushed to catch an LIRR train, have a few minutes to kill, but you have nowhere to get coffee. Get your caffeine, carb, and sugar fix all in one go and catch your train on time. What more could you want out of life? There are also about a dozen tables where you can sit and enjoy your fare if you don't want to wait out on the platform for your train. Only wish they had built this thing sooner. It seems like a bigger Tim Horton's might be coming downstairs, too? TBD. read more

They have pretty good donuts, and there was no line so I guess it was ok. The staff were quick to get my donut

We stayed at a hotel around the corner prior to a very early morning flight. We were planning on taking the air train but needed a fairly inexpensive dinner the night before. Enter Tim Horton's. It was perfect. Convenient, quick, cheap, and delicious. If you're in the area this is a must stop. The upstairs food court Tim Horton's also offers a lot more sandwich options than downstairs. read more

I can't say enough good things about Tim Horton's. Delightful menu items at great prices, amazing mood to unwind at. Every thing I've tried so far has been fantastic.

Whoa I did not know that Tim Hortons are in New York City. I somehow believed that it is only Canadian chain in Canada. I ran into this Tim Hortons from long flight and had to have my first try. I ordered Canadian Maple Syrup Doughnut with custard cream. Usually, I do not have doughnuts in my daily life but I liked it. Not too sweet but sweet and soft and melting in my mouth...it was little heaven from Canada. Also a mixed wheat and nuts bagel with cream cheese. (Thought it was appropriate as I just came back to the city) The bagel was very soft and with good moisture. This is not a cafe or place that customers can be seated and relax but still have tables and chairs. No wifi. It is very reasonably priced, and the staff told me the doughnut Inhad was the most popular one there and it is actually little expensive in Canada. read more

Love that there is a Tim Hortons by me! Such a convenient location right by the LIRR and the subway. I love their cappuccino and regular iced coffee.

The ham and swiss sandwich was hearty and filling, the Boston Creme donut, not so much.

6 hours before my flight to London -- it's unclear whether I am at the "Getaway Bake Shop featuring Tim Horton's" or Tim Horton's itself. The original iced cappuccino (also variant: caramel, Oreo) is the closest drink to Costco's nebulous "mocha frappe" as I can imagine and evokes the fluorescent comfort of the food court (red umbrellas) while beckoning of Canada. This is surprisingly the best coffee I've had in months, and earlier today I had some $5 iced coffee served through a metal straw in Bushwick, 5 stars read more

I used to frequent this Tim Horton's in the AirTrain terminal when I was early for the LIRR. Conveniently located and perfect for a cup of coffee or a bite to go. Just a few days ago I missed my LIRR by a few minutes and needed to find a place to kill time until the next train 2 hours later. I got a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese and a small coffee. Found myself a seat and spent my next two hours there, reading on my kindle, drinking coffee and staying warm. Warning though, there are always two or three pigeons hanging around and I was sure they were eyeing my bagel. read more
