Extremely poor service and completely unacceptable organization. There were only two employees serving customers, even though there were two cash registers and a very long line. You could clearly see the employees running around and struggling to keep up. I was on my break and ended up spending practically my entire break waiting: about 15 minutes in line, then another 10 minutes just to get a coffee, followed by several more minutes waiting for my donuts. In the end, I had to leave without even having enough time to consume what I had purchased. If you don’t have enough staff to serve customers within a reasonable amount of time.Making customers wait this long, especially during their break, is simply unacceptable. Very disappointing experience. I really didn’t expect to lose my entire break waiting for such a simple order.

Worst Tim Hortons in aylmer. 20 minutes for an ice capp. Every order ahead of me was wrong one way or another. Last time I came here they forgot my doughnut and no one ever answered the phone. No refund nothing. A whole 2 people working the front while one staff walked around with either a tablet or a tray of crossiants to make them look busy. Dont waste your time or money. Go to either Vanier locations or front!!! PS LOVE THE FAKE 5 STAR REVIEWS COMING IN LATELY

I ordered three very simple things: a grilled cheese sandwich, a cup of water with ice, and a small iced capp. There were only 2 people ahead of me. It took 8 minutes just to get the drinks and 15 minutes to get a grilled cheese sandwich. So somehow, three basic items with barely a line turned into a 15-minute wait. And after all that waiting, the grilled cheese wasn’t even made properly. Just look at the photo. Waiting that long would be one thing if the food came out great, but 15 minutes for this is ridiculous. If incompetence was a Tim Hortons location, it would be this one.

Food is fine. But the service is completely abysmal due to a lack of staff. I placed my remote order 30 minutes prior to actually receiving my food. There are multiple retirement communities near this location meaning there's a constant stream of people. To be clear I'm not blaming the employees as they are simply understaffed. Atmosphere suffers from this because of the huge lines of people waiting to order or receive their food.

No steeped tea. No hot chocolate. No vanilla. And the most depressing Tim Horton’s I’ve seen.

Ordered ahead of time online... Gave plenty of time to get order together and have it ready as I arrived. Got there, expected it to be all together by now as I ordered a bagel and cream cheese, farmers wrap, ice cap, refresher and 2 doughnuts... Got home and no doughnuts. Tried calling 3 times, I know there were at least 4 workers.. somehow the phone doesn't even have a voicemail, just ends the call!!!

Tim feels like he doesn't like the job and they don't treat us with respect. Thirty minutes to give me a two-item order?!
