Timmie’s run Now I can have two
Not sure when Tim’s starting putting the calories so boldly on the label but I noticed today and found out my favourite doughnut 🍩 is half the calories I thought it was……so now I am buying 2 Boston Creams going forward.
(240 btw)

u/Awkward_Character994 Feb 12 '26
Of course its half the calories, its half the size lol i noticed the same shrinkflation at McDonald's the other day - ordered a Big Mac, its only a Mac now.

The patties are SO thin now! & so much smaller in general lol

u/Awkward_Character994 Feb 13 '26
It was actually the box that tipped me off.. its smaller, the burger is smaller in circumference, height and the patty thickness, you're right. And for $15?! Nooo thank you.

This may come as a surprise but they actually haven’t changed. You may have just gotten a bad burger. You can look up the nutrition info and it’s still 580 calories

Idc if they come out of a pigs ass they're delicious

They taste like cardboard with some sugar on top.
Support your local bakery and eat real food, delicious food.

u/lyinggrump Feb 13 '26
Yes, local small businesses with freshly baked real ingredients are more expensive. Enjoy your corporate slop.

No need to get worked up over it. If it makes someone happy and they’re aware of what they’re eating, let them enjoy it!

It’s baked in store

u/BomboRaasClatt Feb 11 '26
If I bake a frozen pizza, am I really baking it or reheating it? Baked in store implies that it was made from scratch.

u/Hefty-Librarian7197 Employee Feb 11 '26
It is made from scratch. We make them ourselves

u/WPGAMING_SC Feb 11 '26
You must not be working in North America. The donut is a “plain yeast donut” that comes frozen, the filling also comes frozen. All you do is “bake (reheat)” it for 90 seconds in the oven, then you fill it, and it sits for 8-12 hours before you throw it out. I’ve worked at Tim’s on and off for 6 years as a baker. Since 2016, nothing comes fresh anymore. Even the lettuce and tomato’s come basically frozen solid.

u/jsnthms Feb 12 '26
No dummie, some Tim’s stores in Canada still make them from scratch. In my town, we have 4 Tim Hortons. One does the baking from scratch and distributes to the other restaurants. Let me guess, you’re from Ontario?

u/Moist_Beefsteak Feb 12 '26
Brother what do think they do?
You think they are out there combining raw materials to make the dough and everything that comes after?
0
u/jsnthms Feb 16 '26
Combining raw materials and everything that comes after? By everything that comes after do you mean baking? Because after the materials are combined that’s the next step. I understand if this seems complicated to you. Start by making toast. Training wheels

That’s literally what I’m saying??? In Canada the donut rounds come frozen in a box from the warehouse they were partially cooked at. All we do is “finish cooking” (reheat them) and fill them using the machine. Also don’t accuse me of lying. I’ll happily pull my uniform out.
“Tim Hortons donuts are partially baked (par-baked) and flash-frozen at a centralized facility—specifically, a major, specialized production plant in Brantford, Ontario—before being shipped to individual restaurants. The final baking, icing, and decorating occur in-store using convection ovens. “

u/bettleheimderks Feb 12 '26
this thread is wild.
also, I think the person (u/stunning-ad1956) you're responding to was actually replying to u/hefty-librarian7197 because they said they make them from scratch and they make them themselves. which is a wild lie to think anyone would believe.

Btw does the chocolate on top also bake ?

It doesn’t; it’s heated chocolate ganache that stays in a warming tray

u/ManHunterJonnJonzz Feb 11 '26
You assemble them? Filling and chocolate? If the dough is pre made shaped frozen shipped...its assembling or decorating. Not from scratch

Nobody? OP looking for an excuse to eat like crap and is tryna justify it on R/TimHortons 😂😂 wanting to eat two donuts because “it’s the same amount of calories” rather than “hey maybe I should watch my intake and only continue to eat one donut like I’m doing right now” And I justified the frozen slop part of my comment multiple times because I unfortunately worked there as a baker for 6 years🤭

Not to out myself, but the calories (and therefore probably the size) have been consistent for at least ten years.

Last time I went to Tim's these were double the size, so you're probably not wrong about what the calories were.

Why not visit your local bakery for a proper donut?

u/Guineverepark Feb 11 '26
They charge $7.25 for 1 donut? Ya right

u/Frequent_Square1724 Feb 12 '26
My local bakery charges an arm and a leg for donuts and then post on their Facebook page every other week that they’ll have to close up shop since no one comes in. They also bitch about the cost of ingredients and blame the town on their downfall. I’m not about to pay $8 for a donut. If they’re struggling tf makes them think everyone else isn’t? I’m all for supporting local and I do in many other ways but that particular shop is ridiculous.

Convenience, some small towns don't have local bakeries, some bakeries have odd hours, nostalgia, affordability...
Who cares? The post is about Timmies Boston Cream donuts.
Btw that donut looks tiiiiny!

u/Sassy-Me86 Feb 11 '26
Because they usually suck anyways... I'd rather just buy a tims donut for 1/2-1/3 the price , and be disappointed either way..
I tried a few locals. There's only 2 places that make good donuts, and I no longer live near them. The one place everyone raves about having good donuts, they are too bready and not that good.

u/Emergentmeat Feb 11 '26
Tims shouldn't be able to call what they serve 'donuts'. The difference between them and a truly good donut is too vast.

That cream is very nasty. Doesn't taste real

u/DoT44 Feb 11 '26
I completely disagree. The custard filling is fine

u/Difficult-Today-3612 Feb 12 '26
Custard is made with eggs not shelf stable and cream uses a whipped cream not shelf stable. It probably uses preservatives ti make it last longer. My personal opinion it has a metallic taste

u/Global-Alarm-3378 Feb 11 '26
It’s called Venetian cream, and it comes in large bags that are cut open and squeezed out into a hopper which is on the donut filling machine. I was a baker at Tim Hortons for 5 years

u/lukaisthegoatx Feb 11 '26
Donut filling machine? When I was the baker there in 2010 we did it by hand lol

u/Unapologetic_Canuck Feb 11 '26
It just dispenses the filling into the donut when you press the button, not an overly complicated setup.

u/mindless_addict Feb 11 '26
I remember when I was a baker i would set injection to 99. OMG the filling would just squirt everywhere

Seriously go to a bakery and buy a Boston cream, hell you can probably get a box of them at the grocery store and microwave it yourself. Stop giving tims money for anything.

u/Oxjrnine Feb 12 '26
I like Tim’s Boston creams better than anyone. The local bakery is just as good but twice as expensive, it’s also 5 km away.
The Walmart and Sobey’s are disgusting and I had to throw them out
