3.5 stars. For the third winter break, I celebrated the holidays with my fiance's family here in Toronto. Yet this was the first time I tried Tim Hortons! I'd always assumed Tim Hortons to be the equivalent of Dunkin Donuts in the states. I was pleasantly surprised by its quality when we stopped by for a quick lunch. The place was bright and clean. It reminded me a bit more Panera Bread except for the fact that we have to serve ourselves instead and the menu had more grab to go items.
Its menu not only had all the same items as DD but it also had lasagna, soup combo! My fiance went with their grilled cheese on whole wheat and chicken noodle soup. I went with a chicken salad on whole wheat and a vanilla parfait. The rest of the family got lasagna, plain bagel with cream cheese, and cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, along with maple cream and twisted glazed donuts. Although my vanilla parfait didn't come with any granola and the bagel + sandwiches + donuts were much smaller than what I am used to in the states - they were all made to order and tasty. I can definitely see myself visiting Tim Hortons regularly for a quick bite and coffee.
