As far as coffee is concerned, Tim's Java is what it is - mediocre at best. But this particular TH location sets the bar even lower by consistently serving awful, watery, flavourless coffee for the past year. I used to think their bland coffee was a one-off incident...that someone didn't prepare the pot according to the "recipe." Hence, I've kept returning intermittently hoping it will improve. Alas, no such luck. The coffee in my cup right now is akin to drinking warm tap water. Yes, there are alternatives (Think: Second Cup or Starbucks) but for convenience this location would be ideal if only they could make a decent cup of brew. Their doughnuts, too, have become chewy, chalky and downright unpalatable. Only recently did I decide to give them another try, and was I ever profoundly disappointed!
To be fair, there are other TH's I've been to that serve a better grade of coffee, generally speaking. However, their doughnuts are still best avoided whenever possible.
Whether it's because of this particular location or a general cutback in the quality of ingredients used, TH ain't what it used to be. As far as I'm concerned, Tim's stopped being iconically Canadian a long time ago. read more
