Timmy's is so ubiquitous with Canada, and probably because there seems to be one on every single corner of downtown Toronto! I was staying nearby and wanted a little treat, so I stopped by this location.
I don't know why I get suckered in every couple of years, because Tim Horton's is just gross. Like, why is this place so popular?
The donuts taste like grease and cardboard, and the cookies are so loaded with sugar that they make my teeth hurt. These have to be among the worst donuts and baked goods in North America.
I got a Boston Creme donut and an Oreo Chip cookie. The treats looked tasty appearance-wise, but neither was any good. The donut was especially disgusting. The crème inside was a thick vanilla pudding that was flavorless, and the donut dough tasted like old, wet bread. There was no light or tasty yeasty flavor, and the chocolate icing tasted like nothing but pure sugar. Yuck.
The cookie was a bit better, but it was soooo sweet. It tasted like it was loaded with corn syrup and a fake bakery flavor. It was soft though, so I enjoyed it more than the sad donut.
I also had a box of 10 TimBits (aka donut holes). I got a variety pack that was mostly dried out cake donuts and then a pretty tasty blueberry cheesecake one and a birthday cake iced TimBit that was my favorite. None of these were particularly good, however.
Look, I've had savory food and coffee at Tim's, and admittedly those are better options than the sweets. But I just don't get this place at all.
