Tim Hortons
Eleven Tim Hortons have recently taken over Dunkin Donuts outlets in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The doughnut chain founded by a hockey player has 400 stores across the US, 2,800 in Canada. I tried the coffee, found it so-so, but was happy that, unlike Dunkin’s, it wasn’t served in styrofoam. On another visit to Tim’s, the doughnut aficionado with me declared that the sprinkles on the top of a raised doughnut were shockingly chewy. The body of the doughnut, though, was fluffy, fresh, and quite tasty. (I was allowed a small bite.) So far, there’s no clear winner in the battle of Tim Hortons vs. Dunkin Donuts.
