It is a Chain of stores. Kind of like Dunkin' Donuts but coffee is a TON better.

http://www.timhortons.com/

Brief History:
The Tim Hortons chain was founded in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario. The chain’s focus on top quality, always fresh product, value, great service and community leadership has allowed it to grow into the largest quick service restaurant chain in Canada specializing in always fresh coffee, baked goods and homestyle lunches.

The first Tim Hortons stores offered only two products – coffee and donuts. The selection of donuts to enjoy was highlighted by two original Tim Hortons creations, the Apple Fritter and the Dutchie. They became the most popular donut choices in the 60’s, and remain two of the most popular today....continued here

Timmy's isn't bad but do you know why EVERYONE loves it? It is their special cream (and NO not that way gentlemen). Instead of normal cream that places use 18% they use 35% Whipping Cream. So this is what gets most people when they buy a cup and enjoy it so much.

Ahhh That is why double double (double cream double sugar) is almost a catch word in Canada I reckon.

I'm still addicted to it and I like it black though. I have heard from their company info line that their blend has the highest caffein levels allowed though.

I am a dark roast drinker if I can't find a Tim Horton's and don't have the change for an Americano.

Eugh! Cream in coffee, what next sugar in porridge!
I'm afraid doughnuts aren't that big here either.

Lol, we call them doughrings as doughnuts are round things with a filling like jam injected into the middle.
