I find Tim Hortons to be a good roadtrip staple, otherwise I can get coffee anywhere and be ok with it. One of the larger problems I have with them is their inconsistency. I can get a good double-double from the Tim Hortons on Macleod and Glenmore and then get a terribly watery, bitter one from say Avenida or 24th and Anderson. For something that is essentially handeled by a machine (the sure-shot cream/sugar dispensor) it seems like it's impossible to get a consistent cup of coffee.
The food is pretty bland otherwise, but you get what you pay for. I pretty much stick to coffee from them. And yes, McDonalds does have excellent coffee.
