Tim Hortons

You're after decent coffee and you don't want to faff about—Tim Hortons gets it. Positioned right on Stockwell Gate where it's convenient for anyone cutting through town or grabbing something before work, it's the sort of place that doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is. The coffee's consistent, the pastries are fresh enough, and there's usually someone you vaguely know from round here nursing an espresso. It's functional in the best way possible, the kind of spot you become a regular at without meaning to, popping in for a quick flat white or a breakfast sandwich that actually fills you up.
