Tim Hortons

For those of you not from Canada, Tim Hortons is Canada’s Starbucks. Tim Horton was a Canadian hockey player who had some personal issues and died in a car crash. Apparently he liked coffee, or at least his business partners did. But I digress…
Anyway, this Tim Hortons serves coffee and breakfast food items (bagels, croissants, sandwiches with egg, cheese, bacon, or sausage).
They seem to have a language for ordering coffee that I have not been taught. Apparently, a «double-​double» (which to us Californians means a cheeseburger from In-​N-​Out with two patties) means two cream, two sugar. A «triple-​triple» is three cream, three sugar, etc. If you said «triple-​triple» in California, they would laugh at you and tell you that the correct phrase is «3 by 3».
Anyway, I had to only give 3 stars because they messed up my husband’s order, but you have to take pity on the three ladies working there. They are in such tight quarters and are constantly bumping into each other. It’s perhaps one of the worst store layouts I’ve ever seen and they’re doing their best.
Always a long line, but apparently people like it so cheers to the Tim Hortons crew at the Esso Gas Station on Bayview. :)

I have to write a review for this place … not that they need it, but…
It’s in the Esso Gas Station on the south-​west corner of Bayview and Broadway.
Every morning I drop by on the way to work to grab a coffee or tea. I love the fact that it’s way cheaper than Starbucks or Second Cup and the service is fast. I’m usually in and out in about 10 minutes. I also love the staff here. They are the friendliest people ever. I’m in a bad mood because I have to go to work for 6:30 when I run volleyball practice (joys of being a teacher), yet these people are always smiling… it’s quite contagious.
Anyway, this place is always bustling with people buying their morning joe so it’s not like they need this review… but I totally dig this place.
If you’re planning to take your date here though, I don’t recommend for you to do so. In spite of it’s awesomeness, this Timmy’s IS in a gas station.
