When I found out I was lactose-intolerant, the first Tim Hortons question I had was simple: does Tim Hortons have oat milk?
I had been a regular there for years, so I was relieved when I realized I could probably keep ordering my usual latte without paying for it later.
This is what I found about Tim Hortons oat milk options.
Key takeaways
Yes, Tim Hortons offers oat milk as an alternative to dairy milk. Customers can ask for oat milk in all locations in North America.
Tim Hortons was relatively late to plant-based milk. I had already seen soy milk on the beverages menu in 2014 by the time oat milk was added in 2020.
Tim Hortons almond milk and coconut milk were added as non-dairy alternatives around the same time.
Since then, oat milk has become a useful option for vegan and dairy-free orders. When I order, I usually frame it as a swap for skim milk, which keeps the request simple.
What brand of oat milk does Tim Hortons have currently?
North American Tim Hortons use Chobani Barista oat milk in their drinks. However, this changes in other countries: UK stores typically use Alpro oat and soy milk instead, for example.
If I want to recreate a Tim Hortons oat milk drink at home, I look for Chobani oat milk in grocery stores or big box retailers.
Tim Hortons oat milk nutritional facts & information
If you want the numbers, Tim Hortons oat milk has the nutritional information below, along with a few grams of protein.
Calories
If calories are on your mind, Tim Hortons oat milk only has 80 calories per serving.
For a tea or coffee order, that keeps the drink feeling fairly straightforward.
Sugar
Tim Hortons oat milk is unsweetened, so there is no added sugar. In coffee, that keeps the sweetness from getting pushed too far.
Fat
Chobani oat milk has 4 grams of fat per serving or order, which helps explain the fuller texture.
Popular Tim Hortons oat milk drinks you can try today
Tim Hortons has plenty of drinks that work with oat milk, but a few combinations stand out faster than others:
Dark coffees, cappuccinos, and lattes all take oat milk well. The cinnamon sugar oat milk latte is the one I order most often because the spice sits nicely against the coffee and the oat milk gives it a rounder finish.
Not every Tim Hortons drink can be made dairy free with oat milk.
Some pre-prepared drinks, including French vanilla coffee, coffee mocha, smoothies, and hot chocolate, are made ahead with skim milk.
So adding oat milk will not make the smoothies dairy-free.
FAQs
Can you order just oat milk at Tim Hortons?
In-store, you can order a glass of oat milk on its own, but that option does not appear on the Tim Hortons website.
Is oat milk or almond milk better in Tim Hortons coffee?
Whether oat milk or almond milk works better in Tim Hortons coffee comes down to taste. I have bounced between the two enough times to know the difference is mostly in the texture and finish.
Conclusion
For me, oat milk is the easiest way to make a Tim Hortons coffee dairy-free without changing the drink too much.
If I am undecided, I usually start with the cinnamon sugar oatmilk latte or the cinnamon caramel oat brew. The spice gives both drinks a little more shape, which I like with oat milk.
