70'sguy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Had KK over the Thanksgiving holiday. Drove an extra 10 miles to get 'em hot and fresh (they're packaged and sold at gas stations and grocery stores all over town)…no substitute. Sad to hear that Tim Horton is not baking everything locally. Were any of their donuts fresh? Do the Canadian locations bake in-store? Yes I live in Winnipeg they do bake in store. Glad to see they are in Grand Forks. My Favorite place to watch a college game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do they make butter tarts or City Bread? Or are you a Kub bread man? If you had your choice bewteen Gund's Old World Bakery and Tim Horton's what would you pick?

SWSiouxMN Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I enjoyed my first ever visit to Tim Hortons tonight. Got a simple vanilla donut and some hot chocolate. Got both right and my donut was pretty good. Then they proceed to mess up my girlfriends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm going to Timmy's Saturday for a double double and a chocolate frosted. Better be as good as in Winnepeg. Stopped by on way home after the hockey game last night. Got a dozen to go, a small double double and hot chocolate for my girls. Was busy...service was good. Order correct. Donuts were fresh for that time of night. The Canadian maple was awesome. Guy working till was definitely Canadian...no one from the states talks like that. Good first impression. Side note...ate at Wild Hog before game for 1st time. Service was poor but food was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm a huge donut fan but also a huge snob, after having Krispy Kremes nothing is the same for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried them at the game Sat.....wasn't real impressed.... didn't even finish them..... too much hype maybe. Too much not fresh. It makes a difference to have a donut that is not fried in Canada then frozen and shipped and warmed in an ovan. Tim Hortons donuts are all show no go. The hot chocolate on the other hand is delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's easier now, as of right now, I have the Google + commenting system. I had the intense debate, but I tried adding disqus.com but I couldn't figure out how to add to add it my blog... If someone can help me add disqus.com I would add it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokey the cat Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Dunkin' Donuts coming to MN. Can ND be far behind? http://www.bringmeth...-duluth-markets That should be coming back to Minnesota. There use to be a bunch of them up until the 90's. People swear that the have the best coffee. Donuts are ok nothing special. Had some from a place called Dee's in Vegas over Christmas that were really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't drink coffee but I have heard a lot of people like you say that it is the best. Lots of people say it blows Starbucks or any them away. So Oxbow you are not alone in your opinion.

smokey the cat Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Here is one question that has never been raised in the donut debate. What type of donut is better? Cake donuts or raised donuts? I have to go with cake donuts myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn-O Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm no longer a donut guy, but I'm in the camp that the DD coffee is second to none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
