Dunkin Donuts vs Timmy Ho's
I'm caught in a war of cheap coffee. I can't decide who's coffee I like more. Tim Horton's has gotten me through so many long days at work. Dunkin Donuts are starting to sprout up everywhere. I just can't make up my mind. Yesterday I had 1 cup of coffee from each.
Maybe someone has some dirty corporate secret they can tell me that will make me chose one.
Spot is dirty. I think it's gotten dirtier. I stopped going dowtown because of all the vagrants that sit in there.
City Spot is busy (which is great for people watching) but the whole place just looks so used and worn down. Anyone remember the phones on the tables @ the Spot downtown? It used to be so much fun to go there on a summer night and people watch. Now they aren't open 24/7 and the last time I was there late at night some old guy got off in the front window and we all got a free dessert for having to watch it.
Starbucks coffee is really strong and I don't really enjoy it. Everything there is either super bitter or super sugary.

I don't know any dirty corporate secrets about either... but i've heard that Tim Horton's coffee tastes better on the Canadian side of the border. Of course, i am not a coffee drinker, unless it has chocolate or caramel or both and whipped cream and milk and, oh, orange syrup is good... i think the coffee part plays second fiddle to all the other stuff for me. 
that's funny... in buffalo there are timmy ho's everywhere, and so everyone is excited about the new dunkin donuts. in RI there are DD everywhere, and people are freaking b/c now we're getting a tim horton's. Personally I couldn't care less. I kind of hate the taste of coffee, so I have to put so much stuff in it it's like candy. I like elmwood spot for people watching and b/c it's not so corporate.
wow! I had totally forgotten about the phones! I haven't been to the Spot on Chippewa in forever and a day
Om my god the phones at spot coffee.Man that brings back memories. Sometimes they would work w/o a quarter. Yeah spot is played out now and dirty.Since the ownership changed it sucks. My vote is for Timmy ho hos. But maybe thats only because we dont have them in nyc and I miss it!!Permalink: Dunkin_Donuts_vs_Timmy_Ho_s.html
