Tim Hortons' timbits had a slight lead over munchkins in our taste test.
Today, New Yorkers got their first tastes of Canadian donut and java chain Tim Hortons. And so far, it's looking like Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme might have cause for alarm.
Timbits, right, are much smaller than Munchkins.
In an informal office taste test, we found that Tim Hortons Timbits were favored slightly over Dunkin Donuts munchkin: 5-3. Tasters said the Timbits were denser, more cake-like, while Dunkins were airier. One taster said the Timbits felt less artificial. Not surprisingly, the Timbits were much smaller than their American counterparts.
But Tim Hortons is most famous for its coffee, and tasting it yesterday, we think it could really give Dunkin and Starbucks a run for their money.
