Tim Hortons Canada — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Canadians ask about Tim Hortons, answered in one place: prices, calories, allergens, Tims Rewards, hours, delivery, and more.
Prices
Are the prices on this site exact?
No — and no independent site can promise exact prices. Tim Hortons doesn’t publish a national price list; prices are set per restaurant and vary by city and region. Our prices are realistic estimates based on a Toronto-area location. Always check your local menu board or the Tim Hortons app for exact local prices.
Why do prices differ between Tim Hortons locations?
Franchise operating costs — rent, wages, local taxes — differ across Canada, so individual restaurants set their own prices. Airport, highway and downtown locations often run a little higher.
What’s the cheapest thing on the Tim Hortons menu?
Typically a single Espresso shot (~$1.59) or a basic donut (~$1.59–1.69). A small brewed coffee (~$1.79) is the cheapest full-size drink.
Does Tim Hortons raise prices every year?
Like most restaurant chains, Tim Hortons adjusts prices periodically for inflation and costs. We refresh our estimates regularly — check the “last updated” date at the bottom of each page.
Calories & Nutrition
Where can I find official Tim Hortons nutrition information?
Tim Hortons displays calories on menu boards and in the app, and publishes a full nutrition and allergens PDF on its official website (timhortons.ca). Our calorie figures are approximations drawn from those public sources.
Which Tim Hortons drinks are lowest in calories?
Black coffee, black cold brew, black iced coffee and plain steeped tea (roughly 0–15 cal). Unsweetened lattes with milk come next. Frozen blended drinks (Iced Capp, Chocolate Chill) are the highest.
Does Tim Hortons have sugar-free options?
Sugar-free vanilla flavour is widely available for lattes. You can also order any iced coffee unsweetened, and black hot/cold brews have no sugar at all.
Allergens
I have a food allergy — is the Tim Hortons menu safe for me?
Tim Hortons kitchens handle wheat, milk, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish and other allergens, and cross-contact is possible. Tim Hortons itself advises customers with serious allergies to review its official allergen guide and speak directly with restaurant staff. When in doubt, don’t risk it.
Are any Tim Hortons items gluten-free?
Tim Hortons does not market items as gluten-free, and its kitchens are not gluten-free environments. Some drinks (black coffee, plain tea) contain no gluten ingredients, but cross-contact risk remains.
Does Tim Hortons have dairy-free milk?
Oat milk is available at many locations for lattes and iced drinks (sometimes with a small upcharge). Availability varies — ask your local restaurant.
Tims Rewards
How does Tims Rewards work?
It’s free to join in the Tim Hortons app or with a physical card. You earn points on purchases and get a free hot brewed coffee or steeped tea every 7th visit. Points can be redeemed for menu items, and members get exclusive offers.
Is Tims Rewards worth it?
If you visit even twice a week, yes — the free every-7th-coffee alone pays off, and the app-only deals (free donuts, bonus points events) add up fast.
Can I collect points on delivery orders?
Generally no — points are earned on orders placed through Tim Hortons channels (in-store, drive-thru, app). Third-party delivery apps typically don’t award Tims Rewards points.
Hours & Locations
What are Tim Hortons’ hours?
Most locations open early (around 5–6 a.m.) and many run 24 hours, especially drive-thrus on major routes. Hours vary widely by location — check the official store locator for your restaurant.
Is Tim Hortons open on holidays?
Most locations open on holidays, often with reduced hours. Christmas Day hours vary the most — confirm with your local restaurant.
Does Tim Hortons serve breakfast all day?
At most Canadian locations, yes — breakfast sandwiches, wraps and sides are available from open to close.
Delivery & Ordering
Does Tim Hortons deliver?
Yes, through SkipTheDishes, Uber Eats and DoorDash in most Canadian cities. You can also order ahead for pickup in the Tim Hortons app.
Why are delivery app prices higher?
Delivery platforms add service fees and often list higher menu prices than in-store. Ordering ahead in the Tim Hortons app for pickup gets you regular in-store pricing.
Can I order a Take Twelve for a group?
Yes — the Take Twelve box (~$19.99) serves about twelve cups of coffee and can be ordered in-store, in the app, or by calling ahead for large orders.
