  • During the day, always coffee. And especially in the mornings. On campus, Tim Hortons is the regular stop, but sometimes it’s nice to have the richer flavor of Starbucks in the afternoon.

  • Coffee, coffee and more coffee! I am a dyed-in-the-wool Timmy’s fan and I am happy there are TWO locations on campus to patronize!

  • Coffee from Starbucks. The other places just don’t deliver the necessary kick.

I drink tea, and have a small stainless electric pot in my office, a cup, and a half dozen different kinds which I brew up every other day or so. If I had to choose between Starbucks or Tim Hortens I would patronize Tim Hortens, as being the more locally based company.
