Coffee Time Donuts

green car, red car, yellow light, black car turning left, idiot crossing road rawrrrr

This branch of Coffee Time has a special charm all its own. There’s a big crowd of fixed income regulars with whom the staff is extremely friendly. This gives the place a more neighbourly feel than the pricey boutique and chain options on this strip. Whenever I don’t feel like paying $ 2 for a croissant I come here and invariably come across some interesting personality. Plus there’s the patio! As for the coffee and conuts, c’mon, you just walked into a Coffee Time! It ain’t Paris! Adjust your expectations and enjoy.

Now, I’m not going to pretend that Coffee Time is the pinnacle of the cocoa bean. Half the time their donuts were stale, you had to ask for a new carafe to be brewed, and one time when we asked how fresh the cookies were, the dude behind the counter said «uhhh…yeah…i think uhm, two days, no… a day ago. yeah»
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for honesty, and happy he told the truth. But as my friend Goman commented, «you say, today, just came out of the oven», no matter what the truth is.
Anyway, I do want to give this location some credit for their part in keeping me awake, and the kind service I got each morning. The night crew is another story.
I can’t say what it is exactly, but I still prefer Coffee Time over Tim Hortons… that’s right. I said it.
