Are you a major breakfast fan but always racing the clock? I’ve had more than one morning where I planned on Tim Hortons breakfast and then realized the cutoff mattered more than the craving.

If that sounds familiar, keep reading for the Tim Hortons breakfast hours that matter in practice.

I’ll cover when Tim Hortons serves breakfast and the main reason it catches people out: arrive too late, and the menu changes before you get the breakfast order you had in mind.

  • Tim Hortons serves breakfast from 6 am to 10 am every day but are open until 10 pm
  • Tim Hortons is open most public holidays with exceptions like Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day
  • The breakfast menu has a range of delicious treats like biscuits, wraps, muffins, bagels, and donuts
  • You can get a fresh cup of Timmies coffee all day long, including outside breakfast hours

Does Tim Hortons serve breakfast all day?

Tim Hortons does not serve breakfast all day – its breakfast hours are between 6:00 and 10:00 AM.

You can still get coffee and other food all day, but breakfast items stop after 10 AM.

Tim Hortons breakfast is very much an early stop.

What time does Tim Hortons stop serving breakfast?

Tim Hortons serves breakfast until 10:00 AM on weekdays and weekends.

Hours may vary by location. In the UK, breakfast runs until 11 AM, while US Tim Hortons locations stop serving breakfast at 10 AM.

Once the breakfast rush passes, Tim Hortons switches over to lunch, and that handoff happens quickly enough that I’d rather not be guessing at the counter.

If I can’t make it into a Tim Hortons restaurant, I check whether Uber Eats is still showing breakfast before the switch. That part can depend on timing and location, so it’s worth looking before you order.

Tim Hortons breakfast menu items you can get

All Tim Hortons locations serve breakfast, and the breakfast menu has something for everyone.

A few of the familiar options include:

  • Breakfast sandwiches
  • English muffins
  • Flatbread paninis
  • Maple flatbreads
  • Biscuits
  • Maple biscuits
  • Bagels
  • Breakfast wraps
  • Oatmeal
  • Greek yogurt smoothies
  • Hash browns
  • Sweet donuts
  • Coffee

Tim Hortons also has the Bagel BELT, with bacon, egg, cheese, lettuce, and tomato.

For something lighter, there’s the Right Start Turkey Sausage & Spinach, and they also have veggie sausage & egg muffins.

My usual picks are the Angus steak and egg biscuit and the Greek yogurt smoothie. The biscuit feels heartier than the name suggests, and the smoothie is the kind of thing I’d order when I want something cold without going too sweet.

The breakfast menu is broad enough that I can usually find something without having to overthink it.

Tim Hortons All Day Breakfast

Tim Hortons coffee

Tim Hortons was a professional hockey player that loved his coffee. So, he opened the first Tim Hortons in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario, as a donut shop.

It has since become the largest fast-food chain in Canada, and that coffee reputation still feels central every time I stop in the morning.

The original or dark roast are popular choices. I usually stick with the original blend because it tastes a little smoother to me and leaves less of a bitter aftertaste.

In addition to regular coffee, Tim Hortons can serve up a latte and specialty drinks, like a Strawberry Banana or Pineapple Orange Tim Hortons refresher.

Their coffee and drinks go well with breakfast items like a sausage biscuit or a cheddar grilled wrap, and I like that coffee stays available even after breakfast is gone.
