A Disappointment with an Italian Name
Tonight, I’ve experienced the $1.49 special Tim Hortons take on a Tiramisu style donut. My opinion is that it is the biggest disappointment I have ever seen.
The traditional tiramisu as 2 distinguishing characteristics that any cake and variations of it are basically the same, and experience of heaven. The name itself means ”pick me up” or ”cheer me up”. Those ingredients are whipped mascarpone cheese and coffee liquor soaked cake.
The variation that I was served does neither and is a ”let down”, or ”scoraggiare” in Italian. This donut is made from their standard filled yeast base donut with a coffee flavoured Venetian cream centre. The top is dipped in white frosting with a chocolate zig-zag crossing the top and powdered chocolate and one or two coffee bean halves.
Those coffee bean haves are the worst part of this donut as you have to pick them off as they are terrible to crunch on.
MapleLeaf Queen’s Buffet
There was a good selection of food, but much was reheated frozen food. The tables have cheesy plexiglass on them. Very large dessert selection but most of it looks bought and not cooked there.

Urban Deli
The food is always flavourful and of great quality. In the rare instance it is not they are great at taking care of it.
The Ruben and Pulled Pork are to die for.
