The Great New York Tim Hortons Hunt: A Quest for Coffee and Donut Nirvana (or at Least a Decent Breakfast)
Ah, New York City. The Big Apple. A concrete jungle where dreams are made of... and where you can find a hot dog on every corner, right? Well, maybe not exactly. But what about our Canadian comrades in caffeine, Tim Hortons? Those bastions of double-doubles and Timbits? Do they hold their own in the face of Starbucks domination?
This, my friends, is what I embarked on a mission to discover. Not to conquer Everest, but to conquer the question: Just how many Tim Hortons are there in NYC?
Spoiler Alert: It's a Lot (But Maybe Not Enough?)
Now, before you get all "hold my maple latte" and decide to count them yourself, fear not, intrepid explorer. The internet (bless its beautiful soul) tells us there are around 269 Tim Hortons locations in the entire state of New York. That's a pretty good showing. But how many grace the glorious streets of NYC itself? Well, that number seems to be a bit of a mystery.
The Plot Thickens (or Maybe Just Gets Filled with Cream?)
Here's the thing: Tim Hortons doesn't seem to have a handy dandy list that isolates NYC locations. I mean, they have a store locator, sure, but it lumps the entire state together. Is this some kind of corporate conspiracy? Are they hiding a secret stash of double-doubles somewhere in Central Park?
Fear Not, Fellow Tim Hortons Fanatics, There is Hope!
While the exact number might be elusive, here's what we do know:
- New York has the most Tim Hortons locations in the US. That's gotta count for something, right?
- There are definitely Tim Hortons in NYC. A quick Google search throws up several addresses, from Midtown to, well, maybe not quite Staten Island (yet?).
- You will find your Tim Hortons fix. Just pack your patience and your inner explorer spirit.

We wouldn't want to get lost!), and get ready to embark on your own Great New York Tim Hortons Hunt! Just remember to report back and share your findings. After all, knowledge (and a good double-double) is meant to be shared.
