This branch of Tim Hortons probably typifies the traditional French style of service in Montreal. You get ignored, the staff are rude and really I've seen cleaner ashtrays. I know it's a Timmies and was close to the hotel we were at but dear goodness I'd rather walk further in bare feet. Just because I don't speak Quebecois anymore does not mean you should treat me like an annoying bother.
There are other coffee shops not far from this one and while they may not be Timmies, they are certainly cleaner, politer and a much more pleasant experience .
While you always have time for Tim Hortons, give this one a miss
