So the question goes... What's your favorite place to get your coffee fix? As a side question for discussion, what're your favorite orders at such places? Do you go for the coffee, or is it the hot chocolate and pastries that catch your taste buds' attention? And do you meet fellow furs at any of these places? Being in Sudbury, I don't have a lot of choices. It's pretty much a Timmy's town, so that forces my paw in this poll. Heheh. Not that I mind Timmy's, but it'd be nice to have more options. Starbucks is fine on the odd occasion, but that's only if I'm jonesing for something that'll caffeinate me and freeze my brain cells at the same time. We also have a William's Coffee Pub in town, but it's not in an area that I frequent, so I've only been once or twice. The bonus to the William's is that they have a hotspot there, so my laptop is more than welcome to come along for the ride.  Benjamin |

I'm allowed as much caffeine as I like, but I'm supposed to lay off the Java because of my stomach... So for me, I'll go anywhere that has a good hot chocolate, or tea.
For convenience, I usually go to Timmies, because they have a nice variety for the non-coffee drinkers, with plenty of munchies (what's a nice relaxing drink without a snacky?)
A hot chocolate, and a mini cheesecake, and this kitty purrrrrrrs.

Timmies is the best coffee in town... I know I'm a biased fur but I've drank more that my fair share of coffee in this world and nothing compares to Tim hortons unless you count homebrewed....

Gotta go with Timmies, best flavour for a fast basic coffee and the caffine to boot. Plus they are every where so thats a huge bonus alsong with the good eats, nothing like a medium double, double and a box of tim bits when on the road.

I really like Timmy's. Their Ice Caps are my favorite. Since I don't drink coffee I stick to that

At Timmy's, I like to go for a large double double and an everything bagel with herb and garlic cream cheese on it. Prrr... Such a nummy snack. Their sandwiches and such are pretty decent as well. Benjamin |

Voted Timmy's for obvious reasons. That having been said, when I'm in the mood for an overpriced yuppie drink, a Java Chip Frappuccino from Starbucks usually does the trick.

Voted Tim's as well, most likely because they're absolutely everywhere, so there's a convenience factor. Also, their hot chocolate is incredible, and I love their cinnamon rolls. |

Well, for a quick caffeine fix the only choice around here is Timmy's. However my choice for "best" coffee in my area is the stuff I brew at home, but most of my caffeine intake comes from the stuff brewed at work.

I like small one of a kind "nook" places, but if I'm to pick a chain, I shall choose Good Earth! I don't actually drink coffee, I do enjoy tea or cider though. (And hot chocolate, but strangely it occasionally upsets my stomach). Good Earth makes a mean toasted seed roll..
Yeah, I'm all about the goodies on the side, cookies, squares, pastry... Ack, I'm soo craving now.

As Ben has explained, we have little choices here in Sudbury. We are definitely run by Timmies.  But I suppose it could be worse ne? Starbucks coffee tastes like its been burnt and I think the only other one that has "decent" coffee would be William's coffee pub. (They have awesome food, just expensive)

I would say Tim Horton's if I could, but my little small NW Ontario town doesn't have one. We've got a Robins Donuts but that coffee tastes like ash. So i'd have to say the little run down restaurant of Birch's on Hwy 17 also know as the Twin Spot. Sure the place looks like a dive, but its clean and the food is good.

Totally *not* Tim Horton's... Its the fast food version of coffee, liquid crap. Yeah, sure I drink it alot, so do many others, but that doesn't mean its the best stuff around.

Cheap coffee? Tim Hortons
Overpriced alternatives? Starbucks
Somewhere to go and have good coffee, good food, and good conversation? William's Coffee Pub

Voted for other, I find nothing beats a nice drink from Steve-O-Reno's. My personal favorite is their Hot Chocolate with the cream on top, tis yummy.

I'm a Starbucks fur. Looks like I'm the only one that thinks so.  I do like Tim's. I mean, an XL 5 and 5 is always good for a few hours, but Starbucks is good enough that I am willing to pay the prices for it. Now I want a coffee....lol. Worst coffee in the world? My work coffee.  |
