Move over Starbucks and Caffe Nero - there’s a new coffee shop in Manchester city centre and it’s better than I could have imagined. Tim Hortons is getting ready to open its doors to the public on Monday, and I got first dibs on almost everything on the menu.
Over the past few years, Tim Hortons has been dotting its Canadian coffee shops around the UK, with seven Greater Manchester branches including Salford, Bury and Stockport - but their new Market Street venue is to be the first in the city centre.
Walking onto Market Street, you can’t miss the huge red building opposite the former Debenhams unit, overlooking Primark’s lower entrance. Attached to the Arndale Centre, it’s in the perfect location for shoppers, workers and commuters to pop in for a coffee, burger, or those oh-so-popular Timbits.
