You have to understand Dunkin Donuts had a very large presence in Canada before Tim Hortons came around. Once Horton’s started to make a foothold in the market it completely decimated coffee shops. Dunkin Donuts, Country Style and more were all replaced by Tim Horton’s. As bad as it was, in Ottawa a Dunkin Donuts shut down in front of a major police station and was quickly replaced by a Tim Horton’s

(also Tim Horton’s coffee is terrible, but suspiciously a cup of horton’s coffee contains more caffiene than a cup of star bucks coffee!)

I left the US for Toronto last year…. Horton’s Donuts were insanely good.

Then I went back to the US (Philly) for a weekend… bought a donut from Dunkin’s. It tasted like BREAD.

There’s no comparison between the two. Horton’s wins with a landslide.

Having made frequent trips to Canada, I can only say that at Tim Horton’s doughnuts are passable at best and the coffee absolutely undrinkable. I’ve repeatedly tried it thinking it can’t possibly be as bad as I remembered it, and it never fails to meet my original impression. This from someone who has had some of the most gut wrenching cups of Java, diners that been boiling it for the last 17 hours, coffee shops that have never cleaned the pot, coffee that cleans out your system within the hour (a downtown all hours place comes to mind, be sure to be near a loo). Last time we were up North we decided to try TH’s higher end brews, and they too were poured out, not worth two cents, and certainly not worth the Toonie we paid for them. So if you’re drinking terrible coffee, as the song goes, “Blame Canada!”.

Why isn’t New York City a dougnut town? Lame. I tell ya though. Make your way to the Lower East Side for some delicious treats at the Doughnut Plant.
