There's a tiny café owned by a couple literally right around the corner from the nearest Tim's to me.
It's definitely a little pricier but FAR better quality. They've also got crapes and waffles and stuff. But sometimes I'll just go in for a cappuccino.
I've become probably their best customer since I go there so often. Despite the fact that Tim's is closer and cheaper.
Not only is it Canadian (plus some European products) it's a local business. All the better.
Edit: That being said, Tim's is cheap so that usually what I'll have when the café isn't an option. It's not American owned thankfully. I wish it was still Canadian though.
Definitely, the quality difference is unbelievable!
I find most of the people I know that complain cafés are too expensive drink drip anyways and it seems to be about the same price everywhere 🤷♂️. Its $2.16 for a large drip at Tim's here, and $2-$3 at most every local café I've ever been to apart from really bougie ones.
People just see the $4-6+ milk drinks and blended frozen drinks (with real ingredients, apples-oranges) and get sticker shock compared to Tim's fake whipped topping and sweetener sludge (sorry, "iced capp") for $4.19 when they could be enjoying much better drip in the meantime for effectively the same price.
