ATTN CANADIANS!
Emily:
I don't drink coffee or hot chocolate and I don't like doughnuts, but I still managed to win a bagel once off a cup of tea, I think.
Anyhow, if you're going to get coffee in Western Canada, I'll have to plug my former employer. Congrats for having generally decent management, most of the time. Coffeedrinkers I know are fans of their beans, so...yay?
Tom:
The sits name gave me a vague impression that their coffee/drinks are salty rather than sweet or bitter

Huh! My good friend's family owns a cabin up on Salt Spring Island, and I spent a spring break up there with her a few years ago. It's so tiny, though, I didn't know anyone had ever heard of it. Gorgeous place, and, if it's as good as you say, at some point when I'm no longer unemployed, I'll buy a pound or two of the beans online.

I don't see why the two are being compared frankly.
Starbucks is a cafe(Like Coffee of Doom), it has fancy little faggy drinks like a Double Lowfat Soy Caramel Mint Steamed Matcha Latte or simular crap that makes me want to set a live human infant on fire. Not only that but they offer multiple different kinds of REAL coffee, like say French Roast or Kenya AA, however because Starbucks is retarded and does not train it's employees to pour out coffee that has been on the burner too long, rather to sell it because they think we're too stupid to tell the difference thus Kenya AA eventually will taste like French Roast and French Roast will taste like Horse Scrotum with extra AIDS.
Now Timmy's is different, Timmy's is doughnut shop coffee. There's one kind, nothing fancy, cream, sugar or black. And you know what? That one kind is good, nothing to change your pants over, it ain't Jamaican Blue Mountain made by a sexy naked super model coffee angel while Yngvie Malmsteen plays a motherfucking coffee solo of devine asskick BUT it's still a good blend and goes good with a maple doughnut.
tania:
how can you say the two can't be compared when clearly you prefer one more than the other? sometimes people want coffee and sometimes they want fancy drinks that taste nice. there are places that serve both. the two aren't necessarily at war with each other.
i don't really buy coffee from either tim horton's or starbucks because i have concerns regarding starbucks' business practices and tim horton's frankly makes terrible coffee. still, i'd like to think ordering a soy mocha latte once in a while at a coffee shop that makes good coffee doesn't make me a pretentious or terrible person. maybe it tastes good. maybe i really enjoy soy milk. sometimes that is all there is to it.
