Starbucks/Tim

You've just been shopping for hours and all you want to do is sit down and have a drink from one of your two favourite coffee shops which just happen to be located right next to each other. What do you go for? The classy black, white and green circle with the lady in the centre, or the brown and yellow oval? The pure white cup or the brown one? It's been long debated. What is better? Tim Horton's or Starbucks? And what is my opinion on this matter?

Starbucks is known for being a higher class coffee shop as opposed to Tim Horton's. From it's buttery leather couches to their smooth glassy tables Starbucks has beautiful interior design and cannot even come close as to compare to the inside of Tim's. Their drinks are simply delicious topped with creamy, fluffy, whipped cream and the actual contents is rich and smooth. Whether you get something hot or cold Starbucks has a wide variety to chose from along with unique names for their sizes of drinks. (Venti, large, grande, medium, and tall, small) I think that with Starbucks it's also more customised. You can chose just what you want and you can say just how you want it done. Starbucks is all about pleasing you, the customer!

Tim Horton's is one of the first things that comes to mind if I think about Canada. They are most defiantly more so aimed towards Canadians is pretty much only situated in Canada, unlike Starbucks which is more an American company. Other than coffee and other drinks Tim Horton's also has quite a selection of snacks such as sandwiches, soups and donuts. But they still defiantly make home brewed coffee very tasty although not as fancy. Everything is always made fresh which is also a very good thing.

All in all, what is better Tim Horton's or Starbucks? I think that if you want to treat yourself you should indulge in Starbucks but if you're just passing by grab Tim Horton's. Both places are both great and quite delicious to treat yourself to a steaming cup of coffee!
