I knew when you tried Timmies doughnuts they wouldn’t blow you away. You’ve had some seriously amazing and luxe bakery doughnuts but if you’re on a road trip going 9 hours across Saskatchewan and you eat one of those doughnuts, it’s wonderful. ❤️
@@carrie-leehurzeler7413 I always eat them when going up north in Ontario it takes hours maybe even days but I love the pumpkin spice Tim it’s and sour cream ones
I’m a Canadian living in London and HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS TIMS IN ENGLAND! Agree their food isn’t out of this world….but it’s a taste of home, and nostalgic for so many Canadians. I WILL be going now that I know I don’t need to fly all the way home for some timmies 🍁
I know other Canadians have probably already said this already but I think part of the draw of Timmy's isn't necessarily that it's THE best but there's a lot of nostalgia behind it. I remember when I was younger my parents would always buy it when we were heading to visit my grandparents and the smell of the coffee and Timbits/donuts always reminds me of that.
As a Canadian who has consistently been disappointed with the food quality of Tim’s for the last few years, they are the place that keeps us Canadians going! I mean pretty much every hospital that I know of, has at least one Tim’s somewhere in the building! They keep me going on my multi hour drive on the 401(major highway east west through Ontario)…Grace you need to go back, when “Roll up the Rim to win” is on!….
Ok! Is THAT why we've been unimpressed lately? We first started going to Tim Hortons in 2009 when we went up to Whistler, pre-Olympics. We were totally blown away. But our last couple trips (which haven't been since pre-Covid 😥) Tim's seems kind of meh. My son still insists on stopping on our way up to Vancouver, once we cross the border, but I think it's more a matter of tradition and my husband's need for coffee after driving for two hours. 🤣 My son's favorite is maple glazed.
Came here to say this. The quality is getting pretty bad. Seriously the donut market is wide open now imo because they’re just not nearly as good as they used to be.
HelloGrace, when youchose a perfume always chose an eau de parfum or perfume ( not an eau de toilette). These are stronger. When you apply the eau de parfum/perfume spray just apply it on pulse points ie wrists. Dont rub your wrists together ( thats what most people do) as it breaks down the perfume and it wont last long. Hope that helps. Love your vlogs, they are so chilled.
Papa Booth at the end, legendary as per. Love his opinions on food. Honest and direct. A man of few words but tells you all you need to really know 🤣✌️♥️
I began watching your vlogs on Extra Grack during VLOGMAS and then discovered your main channel. What can I say? I‘m hooked ever since, you are now my comfort TH-camr: the vibes, your encouraging energy and your authenticity is simply awesome and so rare on TH-cam! I can’t wait for many more videos to come ✌🏼
When Canada owned Tim Horton's the food was fresh, since the USA bought it out, they now freeze the pastries, and the food is not that great anymore. I am glad they now have dairy free options and the ice capp is still the bomb!
LMAO GRACE you just floored me as a long time watcher, me and my friends have been saying the "gorgeous gorgeous girls" quote, and you just saying it then SENT ME, glad to know you are one of us!!!!
you're 100% right about continuing to push yourself with things you're scared to do. currently doing the exact same thing with my therapist and she says it works by pushing the limits of your amygdala untill it learns that the situation you're in in isn't a danger. thought you'd enjoy the word medulla!
As a Canadian I can say that Ever since Tim’s was bought out by a US company, the quality has gone down hill. Most of the stuff is package baking, not made fresh that day from scratch which is how it was done. You were bang on in your evaluation. The only thing Canadian about it is the name.
Hey Grace. So pleased you were finally able to try some treasured Canadian history. No one has mentioned where the name comes from and why we love it. Tim Horton was a Canadian hockey player and when he retired he opened the first restaurant in the 60's maybe 70's. Agreed the donuts are nothing special unless they bring out a limited special one and those are next level. They had a chocolate cream and it had whip cream piped throughout a chocolate iced donut with more whip cream on top. I love their coffee but we all know Grace that you don't so I would try one of their other drinks. Love from Canada
As a Canadian, the Tim’s adventure made me so happy! 🍁🇨🇦 I would agree that no one really gets the hot food from Tim’s, and honestly agreed with your reviews. Most donuts and baked goods from Tim’s are not exceptional but they’re decent/good, consistent, and a slice of home. I highly recommend another trip to try their muffins (which are fluffy and tasty), bagels, hash brown, an iced capp (icy sweet coffee beverage- ik you don’t like coffee but something to try, it’s definitely their most popular drink besides coffee), frozen lemonade, and a double double (coffee with two milk two sugar- classic Canadian introduction to coffee).
can we talk about the fact that Grace mentioned overcoming a fear of frogs, and then immediately cut herself off to go to the next shot in the car. 💀 Grace, you’re such a classic comedic moment
Funny about the tea in this video. I ordered the Countess Grey tea for my mum for Xmas and had it shipped here to New Zealand. Hands down it is now my mum & sisters favourite tea! Thanks for the recommendation Grace xxx
Ahhh, so jealous of the lattice fries!! We don't have those at the Tim's here in Canada. We have wedges...I actually love the bagel belts, bagels are amazing and bacon and egg English muffins. Can't eat the donuts, can't lie...my Mom worked there for 4 years when I was in high school and STILL can't eat them 🤣
Yasss Timmies! one good thing about living in Canada is there's always Tim hortons close by no matter where you are in the city ! It's cool they're starting to branch out to other countries now
I think it is because you might have picked the cake doughnuts instead of the yeast version. The yeast version is more chewy and softer and is superior imo.
Grace i fully agree with the pushing yourself thing I used to get panic attacks and would cry any time i went to my local Asda, i now go through the local town centre completely fine. I couldn't even meet friends in a pub a few years ago, deathly afraid of public transport, i never leave my home, let alone my area. A few weeks ago i travelled 2 hours on a train, by myself, stayed at a hotel, by myself, went to a pub to celebrate a friends birthday knowing only my friend, then the next day i met up with a guy i didn't even know as he was joining my friend and i for the day but the friend was late. I used to get panic attacks any time my phone rang and could not make phone calls at all, i call people/companies all the time now, one morning i called 6 companies before it was 11 am! I won't lie, a lot of this started due to incredibly bad things, and you need to be in a better place to push yourself sometimes, you gotta be comfortable to make yourself willingly uncomfortable after all. But in a way, i am grateful for the bad things because it eventually led to these great things. I have struggled with confidence/myself all my life, yet i can sit here and say i am proud of myself. These things may be nothing to some people, but to me they were things that were physically, mentally and psychologically impossible so much as 3 years ago, yet I've been doing these things like nobody's business this past year!
Yes, Tim Hortons used to be ground breaking, you obviously have never had the original donuts. They used to be ground breaking at one time...absolutely...the donuts were amazing. Fresh and so delicious. It was a donut you'd never forget. But since US has bought Tim Hortons, the donuts are made in a factory, frozen, and taste gross.
Tim Hortons in Canada recently had a fundraiser where they sold #ChooseToInclude donuts 🍩 in support of Special Olympics! I do not love their donuts, but I still ate 3 in about 36 hours because it was such a great cause! I am a coach for Special O so it was really heartwarming to see this huge Canadian company do so much good for our society :)
I'm from Newfoundland, Canada and I always get a Cafe Mocha with whipped topping. The birthday cake timbits and the boston cream donut are my favourite. Yhe farmers wrap is also so good. Also, we have cake donuts and yeast donuts so that would explain the different textures.
You should try French Earl Grey from T2, such a nice twist on Earl Grey. They also have standard Earl Grey and Royal Earl Grey. You can get it online or I think there’s stores in London 😊
I was going to say the grocery store bakery where I worked baked our doughnuts, but I don't really remember. It was back in the 90s. I suspect I loaded them in the proofers on night shift and they were baked in the early morning.
Ahh I’ve been waiting for this day you try Timmie’s! 😄Yeah, it’s not much of the hoopla as it gets all the time, but if you’re doing a road trip across Canada, or finish shovelling all your snow you just got (again), it definitely is better then 😅 This is some of the most snow I’ve seen in the last few years, which I love 🥰❄️ Thanks Grace for the lovely video! Good luck on that perfume hunt haha xoxo, love from Manitoba! 🍁 🇨🇦
I’ll go against the grain of the comments and say I LOVE Timmies! I know there’s bougier donuts, but nothing ever hits like a black coffee and Boston Cream from Timmies for me. Also, I’m in love with the birthday cake timbits. I’m not originally from Canada, so when I visit back home I really miss Timmies! It’s an institution that has wormed its way into my heart 🥰
Grace you need to try the meat free chicken wrap is AMAZING!! The best meat free wrap i have had at ANY fast food place ! Also the all day breakfast wrap is 😋 I'm surprised there's one near me in Scotland but wow its amazing!
In Canada we don't have the lattice fries! And Tim's since it got bought out by burger king the food has gone a little down hill, however the drinks is what people go for it's a good cheep coffee but french vanilla, tea and iced Capps are usually the favs for people
as a Canadian, I can agree that Timmies isn't mindblowing tbh. But it's the comfort, nostalgia, the taste of home. It's good but not incredible, but it's kind of amazing in it's own way haha. Love from BC ❤️
A Buffalonian here (a city in New York on the border of Ontario, Canada that is influenced a lot by Canadian culture) and Tim’s is such a nostalgic place! Yeah, their offerings aren’t mind blowing but they are solid and always good. My husband is from Virginia (in the southern US where they don’t have Tim’s) and he thinks it’s THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD. Lol. He loves Tim’s so, so much and when we visit Buffalo or Canada, he tries to eat there every morning. 😁 My go to is a hot chocolate and an Everything bagel extra toasted. Drool.
Perfumes I love ! YSL Opium, chanel coco mademoiselle, Caroline herrera Bad girl, Frederic Malle - portrait of a lady , also some Rituals perfumes are lovely and good price and also L'occitane - herbae par L'occitane
The amount of comments of people saying Tim Horton donuts were never that good. You all must be younger generation who have never had an original Tim Hortons donut. Back in 2003, the donuts were phenomenal. Made in store, every single morning, the stores smelt so good! Absolutely fresh, slightly greasy, full of flavor, and the softest, freshest donuts you have ever tasted. They were the best of the best. Since US took over, the donuts are made in a factory, frozen and sent out to the shops. They taste like crap. But anyone who knows the real Canadian Tim Hortons knows the donuts were amazing!! The bow tie, the butterfly, the wedge..just to name a few. They were easily the best donuts you ever tasted.
We would always stop at tims after a ski trip! but its def not the best donuts out there but when you need one it just hits. also you should try the icecaps (even tho you dont like coffee) those are almost more popular than the donuts
I haven't had Tim Hortons since I figured out I had Celiacs but the chain was sold and I'm not sure what exactly changed or if it did. The doughnuts do have different consistencies but I can confirm the Apple Fritter and Boston Cream are basically the only two you should get. If I recall burger king bought them out and they added the hot food menu and i think they got sold again. They always had soups, bagels & sandwiches though and are open 24/7 typically even in remote towns. A beacon of civilization and warmth against the backdrop of any desperate blizzard. 6am out of province hockey game? Timmies is open. The coffee and food may even be mediocre but thats not where the love comes from.
In Canada we do not have that chicken sandwich or the lattice fries. The grilled cheese even looks different/better. As for why the donuts aren’t greasy is because they’re baked
If one day you ever get to Australia to visit your fam, I strongly recommend getting a fresh (watch them make it) cinnamon donut from Donut King. Truest nothing beats a hot, sugar and cinnamon dusted cake donut
Canadian here…..this vid made my day btw lol. So you definitely have to try Timmy’s in Canada. I’ve been told by a friend who loves in the UK that everything doesn’t take the same as in Canada. Next time try their sausage breakfast sandwich and their chicken noodle soup….so yummy! I’m very jealous you have lattice fries, we only have seasoned wedges in Canada, and no dips! But Timmy’s coffee is the best in the world!!! Yes I said it lol. Great vid!!!
For some reason I would think it would be better in the Uk because in Canada it's so mass produced and lacking a lot of love in the food. That chicken sandwich looked amazing, whereas all the sandwiches I saw from there in Canada were absolutely dismal.
They actually looks good. I'm from canada and we don't even dipping sauces like that or lattice fries. And don't have the chicken sandwich with the hashbrown on it. I really wish we did
We used to have a Tim Hortons in the Arby's here in upstate ny. I like the Tim bits the best. But our Price Chopper grocery store in my opinion has the very best donuts. Fresh made at the store everyday. And Byrnes Dairy has a lovely assortment of donuts and cookies, brownies and muffins...all of which I can no longer have...all so I have to be gluten free.😢
I think that body shop spf lotion is only in the UK. It's not listed on the Canada or USA site at all which is a bummer because I would love to try it. (I react to every spf I've tried). Tim Hortons holds nice memories for me personally as a "date night" location for my husband and I when our child was a baby. Also their Iced Cappuccino is really good. For a lower fat version, (the original uses cream) ask them to make it with chocolate milk which is 1% milk fat 😊
i work in the body shop and to let you know the drops of light range is being discontinued at some point this year, it should be in outlet stores for a while after it’s been discontinued though xxx
I live in the UK and the best doughnut I have ever had was the snowman 'doughman' doughnut I had at Xmas from Krispy kreme. It was absolutely out of this world. Had it fresh straight out the box and omg words can't describe how good it was
Hi Grace, Cult Beauty do offers on Kilian Fragrances even when you order for the first time and give like 15/20% off. That’s how I treated myself on an expensive perfume. 🌸💜✨
If you like sweet/floral, try Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb. It's my go to evening perfume and a little goes a long way! The scent lasts a long time on the skin.
I googled, and depending on which notes you respond to, there are several suggestions as to what to replace Flora with. Idk what ones are to your taste, because you seem to favor musks and musky types, and I'm allergic. 😕🤔❤☺
I’ve had multiple ‘real’ Tims in Canada and I’ve also tried it plenty times in the uk and I would say the main thing with the donuts is they’re not fresh here in the UK that’s what I think really makes them that bit better in Canada! The one thing that I think tastes exactly the same is the IceCapp my no1 favourite thing!
Wait what brand of Earl Grey did your mom says she liked? Because my home is loyal to Twinings Tea, but I would love some tea recommendations. I want to buy some tea for my mum and sister, so any recommendations are welcome!!! (Also when did Grackle become a makeup guru?? )
Hi Grace, I’m very picky when it comes to perfume and smells, but I looooove the Jo Malone cologne in Myrrh & Tonka. Maybe you could ask for a sample for that one next time, just a suggestion. It’s a very warm smell, I believe it’s unisex. X
So funny to see you so excited for Tim Hortons. I have one 5 minute walk from my house and it’s been open for at least 5 years. I go all the time. To drink it’s got to be a French Vanilla and an old fashioned glazed doughnut to dip in it and eat.
As a Canadian I’m not offended at all as Tim’s donuts are just meh😂 I was shocked when you said your sister loved Tim’s so much, she must have had a super fresh one! Their bagels are brutal. Nothing compares to a real deal Montreal bagel😍
As a Canadian I can tell you, Do Not Feel Bad! Tim Hortons donuts are not it. Grocery store donut is the perfect description. I find they leave a weird oily texture on your tongue and artificial tasting. Not a fan. Maybe they’re a bit different in the UK because your food quality laws are a better than here. I’m a flight attendant and am in the UK a lot. My colleagues and I find the quality of the food in supermarkets in the UK is just overall better than Canada and Costa which I would say is your equivalent is way better than Timmies and they totally stole the cheese Toastie idea from Costa. I laughed out loud when they introduced it because they called it an “Artisan grilled cheese” and I was like this is just a cheese Toastie!
I live in Ottawa, the capital of Canada! Tim hortons is a chain that has just dominated the market. They’re quick, tasty, and around every corner. But, I wouldn’t say they’re anything out of this world. Also, they are now owned by Burger King here, so the entire chain has really changed menu and quality of items! It isn’t as good as it used to be, but they offer more hot lunches.
I knew when you tried Timmies doughnuts they wouldn’t blow you away. You’ve had some seriously amazing and luxe bakery doughnuts but if you’re on a road trip going 9 hours across Saskatchewan and you eat one of those doughnuts, it’s wonderful. ❤️
Wasn’t expecting to see a SK comment on a Grack video. 😂
Well I was born and raised there. And Timmies is the best for those long drives.
@@carrie-leehurzeler7413 I always eat them when going up north in Ontario it takes hours maybe even days but I love the pumpkin spice Tim it’s and sour cream ones

yeah, but why on earth would you...
The cake-y doughnuts are literally called "cake doughnuts" in the US. It's a different kind of a doughnut to a yeast doughnut.
Baking soda and buttermilk, or sour cream, are the levening agents. Sodium bicarbonate and dietary acids create CO2 under heat pressure.
I know other Canadians have probably already said this already but I think part of the draw of Timmy's isn't necessarily that it's THE best but there's a lot of nostalgia behind it. I remember when I was younger my parents would always buy it when we were heading to visit my grandparents and the smell of the coffee and Timbits/donuts always reminds me of that.
Aww♥️

Any Canadian will tell you that Tim Hortons went DOWNhill after Burger King bought it. Much love from British Columbia!
yes! the donuts use to be really good and much bigger! Also back in the day, they had various cakes and birthday cakes.
Ok! Is THAT why we've been unimpressed lately? We first started going to Tim Hortons in 2009 when we went up to Whistler, pre-Olympics. We were totally blown away.

@@annaburch3200 Nailed it! Beyond hitting the spot on road trips, "meh" has become the perfect adjective for Tims ;(
Yes exactly and McDonald's bought Tim's coffee. So here in Canada if you go to McDonalds their coffee tastes like Tim's original

Girl, go back and buy that blue top right now, it looks so good on you!!
Agree stunning!! 🤩
I love how much you’re comfortable being by yourself 🥺
I definitely recommend trying Tim Hortons sour cream glazed doughnut! It is much less dry than some other kinds, and super yummy.

I think it is because you might have picked the cake doughnuts instead of the yeast version. The yeast version is more chewy and softer and is superior imo.
Guerlain perfumes are amazing. If you want one for the evening I recommend the little black dress or their classic one xx

rent the bridesmaid dress! from onloan, by rotation or hurr :) they have bridal and formal sections!
i love the blue top!! where did you find it?
We don't have lattice chips in Canada but there's always a lineup in any Timmies for a coffee .
Ahh I’ve been waiting for this day you try Timmie’s! 😄Yeah, it’s not much of the hoopla as it gets all the time, but if you’re doing a road trip across Canada, or finish shovelling all your snow you just got (again), it definitely is better then 😅 This is some of the most snow I’ve seen in the last few years, which I love 🥰❄️ Thanks Grace for the lovely video!

Haha I live in Manchester and there's been one by my house since I was in sixth form, I thought it came to the UK back then!
Appreciate the love of lattice fries!!! Morrisons sells them at the hot food counter and they're soooo good if they're fresh 😍
There is 2 Tim hortons in the uk. Essex opened one near lakeside not to long ago. very nice.

Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede is my signature scent ❤️ smells divine I always keep a mini in my purse as well xx
We have had Tims in my town (near Manchester) for years!! I love it!!!
The breakfast at Tim Hortons is fantastic, and so cheap! The best fast food vegetarian/vegan breakfast options there are for sure😍
Suggest also putting sun cream on the backs of your hands. It will help delay signs of aging.

grace! would you ever buy a john lewis return crate! there may be a couple of dyson airwraps included!!

Perfumes I love ! YSL Opium, chanel coco mademoiselle, Caroline herrera Bad girl, Frederic Malle - portrait of a lady , also some Rituals perfumes are lovely and good price and also L'occitane - herbae par L'occitane
I'm so glad you finally got to try them! I love your videos. Thank you Grace😍
The amount of comments of people saying Tim Horton donuts were never that good. You all must be younger generation who have never had an original Tim Hortons donut. Back in 2003, the donuts were phenomenal. Made in store, every single morning, the stores smelt so good! Absolutely fresh, slightly greasy, full of flavor, and the softest, freshest donuts you have ever tasted. They were the best of the best. Since US took over, the donuts are made in a factory, frozen and sent out to the shops. They taste like crap. But anyone who knows the real Canadian Tim Hortons knows the donuts were amazing!! The bow tie, the butterfly, the wedge..just to name a few. They were easily the best donuts you ever tasted.
We would always stop at tims after a ski trip! but its def not the best donuts out there but when you need one it just hits. also you should try the icecaps (even tho you dont like coffee) those are almost more popular than the donuts
I haven't had Tim Hortons since I figured out I had Celiacs but the chain was sold and I'm not sure what exactly changed or if it did. The doughnuts do have different consistencies but I can confirm the Apple Fritter and Boston Cream are basically the only two you should get. If I recall burger king bought them out and they added the hot food menu and i think they got sold again. They always had soups, bagels & sandwiches though and are open 24/7 typically even in remote towns. A beacon of civilization and warmth against the backdrop of any desperate blizzard.
6am out of province hockey game? Timmies is open.
The coffee and food may even be mediocre but thats not where the love comes from.
I have that Killian perfume. It’s very strong, I’d only wear it on a night out etc, not that I go out!
Toast with soup is the best! I also like garlic 🧄 baguette 🥖 with cream of chicken 🍗 soup 🥣 !
In Canada we do not have that chicken sandwich or the lattice fries. The grilled cheese even looks different/better. As for why the donuts aren’t greasy is because they’re baked
If one day you ever get to Australia to visit your fam, I strongly recommend getting a fresh (watch them make it) cinnamon donut from Donut King. Truest nothing beats a hot, sugar and cinnamon dusted cake donut
We have a snow day today (I’m a student teacher lol) and your video has come at the perfect time!! Very cozy and now I want donuts 😂
Canadian here…..this vid made my day btw lol. So you definitely have to try Timmy’s in Canada. I’ve been told by a friend who loves in the UK that everything doesn’t take the same as in Canada. Next time try their sausage breakfast sandwich and their chicken noodle soup….so yummy! I’m very jealous you have lattice fries, we only have seasoned wedges in Canada, and no dips! But Timmy’s coffee is the best in the world!!! Yes I said it lol. Great vid!!!
For some reason I would think it would be better in the Uk because in Canada it's so mass produced and lacking a lot of love in the food. That chicken sandwich looked amazing, whereas all the sandwiches I saw from there in Canada were absolutely dismal.
I am from Canada and I could not be more excited about this video! Bisous de Montréal Grace!
Greetings from Victoria! Lived in Montreal for 4 years and miss it xo
They actually looks good. I'm from canada and we don't even dipping sauces like that or lattice fries. And don't have the chicken sandwich with the hashbrown on it. I really wish we did
It’s really 4am and I’m lying in bed watching grace’s vids 🙃🙃💜
We used to have a Tim Hortons in the Arby's here in upstate ny. I like the Tim bits the best. But our Price Chopper grocery store in my opinion has the very best donuts. Fresh made at the store everyday. And Byrnes Dairy has a lovely assortment of donuts and cookies, brownies and muffins...all of which I can no longer have...all so I have to be gluten free.😢
Velvet rose and oud is a go to evening smell of mine!
The girl at tim hortens was so sweet
I think that body shop spf lotion is only in the UK. It's not listed on the Canada or USA site at all which is a bummer because I would love to try it. (I react to every spf I've tried). Tim Hortons holds nice memories for me personally as a "date night" location for my husband and I when our child was a baby. Also their Iced Cappuccino is really good. For a lower fat version, (the original uses cream) ask them to make it with chocolate milk which is 1% milk fat 😊
i work in the body shop and to let you know the drops of light range is being discontinued at some point this year, it should be in outlet stores for a while after it’s been discontinued though xxx
I'd recommend black opium from YSL, it smells amazing!!
I live in the UK and the best doughnut I have ever had was the snowman 'doughman' doughnut I had at Xmas from Krispy kreme. It was absolutely out of this world. Had it fresh straight out the box and omg words can't describe how good it was
Omg mine was the Krispy Kreme jazzy one. I wish they'd bring it back 😭
Hi Grace, Cult Beauty do offers on Kilian Fragrances even when you order for the first time and give like 15/20% off. That’s how I treated myself on an expensive perfume.
🌸💜✨
Tim hortons Apple fritters were my fav!! And the maple donuts…and sour cream ones
Can't believe it's taken you this long to get to Tim Horton's!! (as a TH-cam foodie)! 💕
If you like sweet/floral, try Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb. It's my go to evening perfume and a little goes a long way! The scent lasts a long time on the skin.
I second this! This is by far my fav perfume I’ve been wearing it for years and years! And I love sweet, floral smells 🙌
I definitely rate the Tim Hortons everything bagel. Warmed with a butter it is just fantastic
I googled, and depending on which notes you respond to, there are several suggestions as to what to replace Flora with. Idk what ones are to your taste, because you seem to favor musks and musky types, and I'm allergic. 😕🤔❤☺
I’ve had multiple ‘real’ Tims in Canada and I’ve also tried it plenty times in the uk and I would say the main thing with the donuts is they’re not fresh here in the UK that’s what I think really makes them that bit better in Canada! The one thing that I think tastes exactly the same is the IceCapp my no1 favourite thing!
They're not fresh in Canada either. They haven't been in years since the US bought the company.
THE HONEY CRUELLER IS THE BEST DOUGHNUT! The Tim hortons breakfast deal is the best - I literally only spent £1.99 on breakfast during sixth form!!
Wait what brand of Earl Grey did your mom says she liked? Because my home is loyal to Twinings Tea, but I would love some tea recommendations. I want to buy some tea for my mum and sister, so any recommendations are welcome!!! (Also when did Grackle become a makeup guru?? )
Hi Grace, I’m very picky when it comes to perfume and smells, but I looooove the Jo Malone cologne in Myrrh & Tonka. Maybe you could ask for a sample for that one next time, just a suggestion. It’s a very warm smell, I believe it’s unisex. X
watching grackles videos is a part of my selfcare routine 🙏🤭
I've only just realised only north east Scotland call the ones with the hole doughrings 🍩 and the bun ones doughnuts. 😳 every day is a school day.
"Which ones do you want?"
Sweet Grace: "Can I choose, is it okay?"
You should try nomade by Chloe, I love it so much and I get complimented on it every time I wear it!!
So funny to see you so excited for Tim Hortons. I have one 5 minute walk from my house and it’s been open for at least 5 years. I go all the time. To drink it’s got to be a French Vanilla and an old fashioned glazed doughnut to dip in it and eat.
As a Canadian I’m not offended at all as Tim’s donuts are just meh😂 I was shocked when you said your sister loved Tim’s so much, she must have had a super fresh one! Their bagels are brutal. Nothing compares to a real deal Montreal bagel😍
That sunc cream has alcohol denat. At first is is fine, but if you use it for longer period, your skin will get really dry
Those twisted honey crullers are my absolute fave! 🇨🇦
As a Canadian who goes to Tim's pretty much daily, I have NEVER eaten the actual food LOL also Tim's Earl Grey is actually so good!!
Omggg I can’t believe Tim Hortons is in the UK!! I’ve always wanted to try it!
Great video as always Grace 🥰
There are 26 Tim Hortons in the UK 😊
all the canadians watching and hoping grace isn't too disappointed after trying tim's 😅
Very true...and she got it bang on!
As a Canadian I can tell you, Do Not Feel Bad! Tim Hortons donuts are not it. Grocery store donut is the perfect description. I find they leave a weird oily texture on your tongue and artificial tasting. Not a fan. Maybe they’re a bit different in the UK because your food quality laws are a better than here. I’m a flight attendant and am in the UK a lot. My colleagues and I find the quality of the food in supermarkets in the UK is just overall better than Canada and Costa which I would say is your equivalent is way better than Timmies and they totally stole the cheese Toastie idea from Costa. I laughed out loud when they introduced it because they called it an “Artisan grilled cheese” and I was like this is just a cheese Toastie!
You are soo polite in the drive through!
Your experience with driving gives me a lot of hope, I really wish it could get better for me too
I cant get over you travelled to the Trafford centre. How long did that take you? And went on your own. I find it hard to go shopping on my own x
You have to try their Iced Capps! I don't like coffee and they are the only form of coffee I can stand, they're delicious!
I live in Ottawa, the capital of Canada!
Tim hortons is a chain that has just dominated the market. They’re quick, tasty, and around every corner. But, I wouldn’t say they’re anything out of this world.
Also, they are now owned by Burger King here, so the entire chain has really changed menu and quality of items! It isn’t as good as it used to be, but they offer more hot lunches.
