Tim Hortons

[Anja]

I'm going to Tim Hortons tomorrow for a coffee date but I'm a bit scared to grab anything due to all the allergy warnings on the website

I had my first meeting with a dietitian and the lady sitting beside me said the coffee contains some kind of gluten product to keep the beans separated in the packages??

Plus I worked in one for 9 months way before being diagnosed and know pretty well that if anyone on soup and sandwich station, or has been near there grabs your drink, for sure you risk cross contamination, on the outside of your cup, or even a bread crumb or doughnut crumb stuck to their arm or hand could drop in when they stir your drink it's sad thinking back to how little caution we took when I was working there...

(and odd since they had videos in orientation that were so strict about avoiding it involving the produce and meats go figure they don't care about gluten contamination)

I don't drink coffee, but it'd be nice to know if anyone who has had the hot smoothies or teas has had any problems??

I haven't had anything there since I've been diagnosed and would like to know since I'm highly sensitive.

Thanks!

I have never really been to a Tim Horton's. However, I have never had an issue with normal drinks at any restaurant/bar. I wouldn't go for anything involving a mixer or blender, though. If you are feeling iffy, then stick to your instincts and have a water or nothing. Enjoy the conversation and eat before or after.
