Have you ever wondered what the most popular types of donuts in the U.S. are? According to Google users, glazed donuts reign supreme as the most popular donut.
My biggest takeaway is that Tim Hortons can make a good doughnut, and in my opinion they're better than the ones I'm used to from Dunkin'. The doughnuts at Tim Hortons tasted fresher, in my opinion, plus I really liked the more unusual maple and honey-glazed flavors.
The Vanilla Cream Puff Filled Ring Dream Donut features a vanilla filling and is topped with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and a dusting of white donut sugar.

Tim Hortons Mini Egg Donut FillingWhile some Dream Donuts have not impressed when it comes to flavour, I would say this is one of the better ones in the bunch. The donut was soft, like their typical treats, with sweet icing on top and a bit of crunch from the sprinkles. Of course, the Mini Eggs on top were delicious.
Blueberry FritterI don't think a real fruit has ever touched a Tim Horton's fritter. That said, in the pastry category, the blueberry fritter comes dead last. It's the most calorie dense and has the highest sugar content as well. If you're looking to make a healthy choice, avoid this pastry at all costs.
Doughnuts are just a little bit healthier than bagels as a breakfast food. The reasoning comes down to two things: carbohydrates and sodium. While bagels have, generally, fewer calories, they are worse for you in terms of carbohydrates and sodium content.
Many Canadians very swiftly said Timbits, but not all agreed. That's because a “Timbit†from Tim Hortons and a “Robin's Egg†from Robin's are names created by brands for something more generic — doughnut holes.

To the resentment of some of its devotees, in 2003 the chain switched from baking the products from scratch at the store. Instead, it "par-bakes" them: bakes them in a factory in Brantford, Ont., then flash freezes them and ships them to Tim's 3,600 restaurants, which finish the baking process using in-store ovens.
Timbits are, essentially, a doughnut hole. These bite-sized treats are made of the same delicious dough as Tim Hortons' trademark doughnuts—the kind that gave the chain its start.
Properly stored, freshly baked donuts (not cream-filled) will last for about 1 to 2 days at normal room temperature; cream-filled donuts should be stored in the refrigerator.
