Yeah, he probably does. I don't know what the infatuation with Starbucks is in Vancouver but the further east you go in the Lower Mainland, the more people go to Tim's over Starbucks. Must be that rich big city thing.

Won a free coffee on my first one....on the road trip back from Van, so that was pretty awesome.

Then I got a free extra large green tea......and lost. DAMN!

Starbucks is bitter and over priced.

I'll stick with my double double and wheel of doughnut choice.

Hot Chocolate also contains caffiene:

Small 15mg
Medium 20mg
Large 30mg
Extra large 50mg

While its about a 1/15th of what's in their regular coffee, a small hot chocolate contains as much caffiene as an XL Decaf coffee.

And personally, I'm 0/1.

No I live in Calgary. They have Starbucks here too believe it or not, and there are usually people inside the ones I've gone to. So I must not be the only one.

In Oklahoma we have no Tims so Starbucks has the monopoly. I think they are way overpriced. I rarely drink coffee so it doesnt matter to me. I go there for an odd Hot Cocoa in the winter. They do however have the beat pumpkin bread I have ever tasted.

For the record , just my opinion of course ... Tims>>>>Starbucks. Hell even second cup's hot cocoa is better!

0/2 so far! That's OK- just waiting to win myself a Toyota! The prospect of constant recalls excites me!

while overpriced, i must say that a frozen coffee at starbucks is much better than a frozen coffee at timmys. Java chip frap>iced cappachino anyday (even more in the summer when most of the time the machines are out of an ingredient or too busy to have frozen and its more like a cold cappachino, starbucks actually uses ice)
as for coffee, yea starbucks reg. coffee isn't that good.

I actually prefer the baked goods and coffee at Starbucks. However, I agree that it is overpriced.

My buddy and I are a combined 0/12 at the Midnapore Tims. Maybe they didn't ship any of the good cups this far down south. WTF?
