Tim Hortons Opens In Belfast!

Tim Hortons (Timmys) is frankly the best Canadian café and bake shop - with fantastic baked goods, light snacks and cheap yet amazing coffee what more can you ask for?

In recent years Timmys has begun to go international and is no longer just in Canada. With a store opening in Glasgow a few years ago and from the success of that it's begun to open more UK branches in Cardiff and Manchester. The latest addition being #TimHortonsBelfast!

Queues had begun forming nearly 11hrs before the doors were due to open and rapidly started to increase from 9am onwards. Everyone desperate to get a Timbit and £1.29 coffee!

Mike (pictured in top image), at the front of the queue said "I had lived in Canada for a few years so Timmy's was somewhere I got my daily coffee. When I heard 18 months ago they were going to open a Belfast store I knew I would get the first cup of coffee!" Mike was alsonlucky enough to cut the ribbon and get a years supply of coffee - all for his dedication of waiting 11hrs outside for the opening!

The latest Timberjack said "I'm so excited to work at Tim Hortons, it's just so community based. It's where people had their first date, or went with family. It's just such a nice community feel to it"

By 12pm the queue was 250+ people strong with everyone desperate to try a Tim Hortons coffee, baked good or light bite!

Make sure to head down to Timmys on Fountain Street, Belfast and you won't be disappointed!
