Well, Tim Horton's started as a coffee and donuts chain, but many (not
all) of their locations have added items like soup and sandwiches to
their menu. So, I don't think there is a "universal" answer to this
question, it will depend on the location. For the Toronto, ON folks
let me note some examples, inside the Finch Subway station (Yonge &
Finch) there is a mini-Tim Horton's (that is just coffee and donuts),
that I would tag as a coffee shop. On the other hand, there is a large
(well larger) Tim Horton's on Yonge Street, just south of Eglinton
Ave. that does offer a much wider menu (ie: coffee, donuts, soup,
sandwiches, and ice cream), that I would tag as a fast food location.

So, William Skora, how extensive is that Tim Horton's menu?
