My Review - Tim Horton's Latte

I've officially tried the new Timmy's latte... and surprisingly it's not too shabby!

Pros:

Cheap (About $2.50 for a medium)

Comes with the good kind of lid. Not the ones where you have to rip open and push into the slot and it won't stay down.

Good flavour

Cons:

Made with 2% milk only, no exceptions

No decaf option

It's no Starbucks!

When I went through the drive-thru I asked the girl if they had sugar-free syrup and she didn't know. She tells me "It's a syrup shot." Obviously! Now go check if it's sugar-free, honey! After checking she assured me that it was (which I later confirmed on their website - 4cals, 1carb.)

She did say to me though, "So you want just the flavour shot, not the vanilla base then?" I replied "yes," but I'm pretty sure that as a latte it shouldn't have a vanilla base. Latte=espresso+steamed milk+flavour if wanted... am I right? Isn't that what Timmy's is trying to market now? "Real" drinks as opposed to their old cappuccinos that were from a mix? Either this girl was confused and has been making them incorrectly... or Tim's is the same as always.

One thing to point out is that it's still the same old Timmies... and you will need to go the the bathroom after drinking one!

Summary

Better than the lattes I've had from the Bread Garden. Good flavour and coffee kick for your price. If you want something super fancy to go Starbucks, but hopefully these will stick around for a while.
