So a year ago this location was not the best but currently this is the only location I will go to. The staff is fantastic in the morning and always friendly. Britney always going up to the counter with huge smile on her face helps making my day start off brighter. Working in retail myself I understand that they have 45 things to do at once which they do with that smile.

We have continued coming to this location after discovering how amazing they are earlier this spring. The staff is always kind and courteous and the food and drinks are always hot and fast. The management of this location is fantastic as well and always seem to go above and beyond , not just when there is an issue but just as a daily. This Tim hortons out performs the other locations we have been to and enjoy coming in almost daily. It’s the best part of the day that got cup of coffee and warm welcoming vibes the store has. Thanks for always being amazing. Keep up the great work.
