Four Tim Hortons menu items you'll never see again and shoppers rave it was the only reason to go

Publish date: 2024-02-06

TIM Hortons has made a strong name for itself across the Northeast, but there have been several menu items discontinued over the years.

The donut and coffee chain first opened its doors in Hamilton, Ontario back in 1964 but has now become a Canadian and American namesake with more than 5,300 stores.

While Tim Horton's still has many popular donuts and coffees on its menu, several shoppers are still nostalgic for some key beloved discontinued items.

Menu items are discontinued for an array of reasons, but typically, low sales are the culprit.

The U.S. Sun compiled a full list of the menu items Tim Horton’s fans miss most.

1. PRETZEL BAGEL

One of the most iconic Tim Horton’s items that disappeared on menus was the Pretzel Bagel.

While nationwide Tim Hortons doesn’t offer its pretzel bagels in stores anymore, you can still find certain locations that never eliminated the fan favorite meal.

Some fans report they are available in Michigan, so there’s still hope you could see the bagel in a store near you.

2. BLUEBERRY DONUT

While it seems like Blueberry Donuts should be a mainstay on any donut chain’s menu, Tim Hortons has disagreed and removed its iconic Blueberry Donut.

"I see them on very rare occasions but I miss when they were widely available. I would do terrible things for blueberry donuts," one person said in a Reddit thread of the best discontinued Tim Hortons treats.

Similar to the pretzel bagel, however, there are some stores who still offer the highly coveted item.

"I’m in Newfoundland and they’re a regular menu item at the locations here," one fan said.

3. BREAD BOWL

While you might not expect a donut coffee chain to sell bread bowls, some fans swore by the iconic soup addition.

It was most prevalent in the 1990s and 2000s, but the item is no longer a staple at the brand.

"I MISS THE BREAD BOWL SO MUCH," one Redditor shared.

Even employees fondly remember the item and aren’t quite sure why it disappeared from menus.

"The bread bowl was the best. I worked at a Tim Hortons when they had the bread bowl, I had it often," another Redditor shared.

4. CANADIAN MAPLE DONUT

Last but not least is the Canadian Maple Donut, which fans have been raving about even as it’s gone missing in stores.

"Canadian maple,” one Redditor shared. “So help me if they get rid of the honey crueller.”

Each Canadian Maple Donut featured maple frosting on the top and was filled with vanilla custard.

Some shoppers report they are still available in some select restaurants, but it’s no longer a regular occurrence.

The United Kingdom, however, regularly features the Canadian sweet.
