I’m not a big fan of Timmy’s coffee, but there are 6 or 7 Tim Horton’s locations within 2 blocks of my office in Vancouver. Someone must be drinking the stuff! Their donuts aren’t bad, but I’m not a fan of their habit of putting “maple” on everything.

The last time I bought anything at Tim Hortons was the last time.
