Tim Hortons Gluten Free Menu Items and Options

Tim Hortons, also known as Timmie’s or simply Tim’s, is a Canadian multinational fast-food chain. It is known primarily for its coffee and donuts but also offers a variety of other baked goods, sandwiches, soups, and beverages. Tim Hortons is a cultural icon in Canada and has a massive presence in the country’s food industry.

The chain was founded by Tim Horton, a Canadian ice hockey player, in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario. Initially, it was just a small coffee and doughnut shop. However, it quickly gained popularity and expanded rapidly across Canada. In 1995, Tim Hortons merged with Wendy’s International, a US-based fast-food chain, but the two companies split in 2006, making Tim Hortons a standalone entity once again.

Tim Hortons is known for its “double-double” coffee, which refers to a coffee with two creams and two sugars. It has become a common phrase among Canadians to order their coffee this way.

Over the years, Tim Hortons has expanded beyond Canada and now has locations in several other countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico, the Philippines, Spain, and China. It continues to be a popular destination for coffee and fast food, known for its convenience, affordability, and its association with Canadian culture. Tim Hortons has a whopping 5,350+ locations globally.

Summary of Gluten Free Menu Options at Tim Hortons

Pro tips and a quick summary of everything gluten free at Tim Hortons.

  1. When you order at the restaurant or online/in the app for delivery/pickup, tell them you have an allergy or Celiac Disease so they take precautions with your food.
  2. Tim Hortons has very few gluten free food options, but they have a ton of beverages if you are looking for coffee, tea, lemonade, lattes, cappucinnos, and other popular caffeinated drinks.
  3. Tim Hortons has a 2 star rating on Find Me Gluten Free with around 8 total ratings. While this isn’t a lot of ratings, the reviews do indicate a poor experience for the average consumer. The negative reviews were about the lack of food options and the positive reviews were mainly about the beverages.
  4. Personal experiences here are unknown! I haven’t been back to Tim Hortons since I became gluten free. When I get the chance to try Timmies again, I’ll update this article with my experience!
