Tim Hortons

[Lilija]

We had a rather positive Tim Horton's experience. There was one in Mystic, CT, right down the road from our hotel, when we visited there on a trip earlier this month. There was nowhere really good to get coffee late nights, or very early mornings (I swear, Mystic rolls up their sidewalks at 5 p.m. Even the bars close at 11) It was open at weird times, tasty and hit the spot. The donuts were far and away better than our local DD, and the coffee was passable to decent. The next day, we drove around for an hour trying to find a late lunch of soup-or-something-warm, around 3 pm, during a snowstorm...and, apparently, the town of Mystic has very strict lunch hours, because no one was open! So, Tim's again! Same old people crowd as the day before, all bitching about rich yuppies and boat owners. We had good soup and sandwiches. I liked the coffee well enough to buy an enormous travel mug as a keepsake. We stopped in to warm up with coffee and some kind of snackie or soup every day on our trip, and to hang out with the same old people every day. It was a great change from the Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks one finds on every single corner here in central Jersey. Here's hoping one pops up in our area, and it's as good as the one in Mystic.
