Just be careful if you are concerned about nutrition or eat there on a regular basis, because their sodium content is actually higher than many 'typical' fast food places (and of course the reason why so many like the doughnuts is that doughnuts are mostly the two delicious things - fat and sugar )

It's like Panera Bread; I know a lot of people think that going there instead of McDonalds for instance is a 'healthy' switch, but if you look at their nutrition listings it is pretty shocking.

AM, I know that you said a few times now that you are trying to eat healthier foods, so you may want to look up their nutrition charts. One sandwich (just the sandwich, not including the soup) can be more than your daily allowance of sodium, FYI.

And then there is that rumour that the whole reason WHY Tim Hortons has so many people addicted to their coffee is that they add salt to the beans (or the brew). Salt has traditionally been used to cut the bitterness of some coffee.
