  A casual place to eat, study, and relax with friends or family. My family and I have been eating here either frequently or occasionally for years now. It's a great place to people-watch. And the food is normally pretty dependable, average-quality fare, same as most Tim Hortons establishments. The staff are not always top-notch with comprehending English, but considering that most staff are immigrants or international students, this is understandable. Most of the staff are quite nice and friendly, especially if you come often enough to be a regular, and don't give them much guff.
  
  One downside to the place: The washrooms are never clean enough, or stocked enough, and the hand dryer, at least in the Ladies washroom, sucks (and there's no paper towel option to bypass that). If they just fixed the taps so that they're not blistering hot after being on for 5 seconds, cleaned and stocked the washrooms a bit more often, and replaced the dryer with a Dyson dryer, the washroom experience would be far better.
  
  There are homeless people there often, with their carts and bikes camped out front, but they tend not to bother you except on entry or exit, if they bother you at all. Once in awhile there'll be a guy who tries to accost people for spare change, sometimes pretending to be deaf, but if they really trouble you, you can alert staff and they'll escort such people outdoors. Sometimes there'll be someone taking a nap in one of the booths. They could be escorted out, but they're not harming anyone and are barely even a nuisance, plus it's difficult for the homeless to nap in a warm, safe space, especially in winter. I don't consider the homeless people to be a problem at all, really. They have right to be there and enjoy the services provided too, just like everyone else.
  
  If you're open to conversing with others you meet there, or at least quietly observing and respecting customers of all stripes, including the homeless, the mentally ill, patients, doctors, nurses, students, police -- it makes the experience of being there much better, and you realize you don't have anything to be afraid of. As I said earlier, half the fun of being there is watching the people and soaking in the atmosphere and the buzz of multilingual conversations.

  Usual Tim Hortons that's attached to a Wendy's. Open 24/7. Parking is limited, and no drive through. Not to be judgemental, but some sketchy individuals are around late at night.

  Always busy here (and usually sometimes there's interesting people hanging around, to say the least lol) but the service is fast and friendly, and there is always enough people working. The express line also helps. This was worth walking from university station, to here, back to Telus centre for my first morning class when it was cold in the fall term for their great coffee and service. :)

  I don't like Tim Hortons that much, but it is the closest place to grab a coffee near the Hospital. This Tims day time staff is some of the best in the city... the evening and weekend staff.... not as good, but still better than most in the city

  Common stop for University students and faculty, as well as a lot of retirees living nearby.
  
  Quick service, as I've come to expect from a Timmys.
