Tim Hortons is an American coffee chain offering hot and cold beverages as well as baked goods, such as donuts, cookies and pastries. Their most popular menu items include iced coffee, hot chocolate, French vanilla coffee and other flavoured drinks; their most popular donuts, cookies and pastries also qualify as Halal in most instances.
Tim Hortons also offers several types of tea and other halal beverages in addition to its signature coffee beverages, including non-dairy creamer-based iced teas which are generally considered halal; however, other varieties like Passionfruit Iced Tea contain non-halal ingredients such as agave nectar that makes it not suitable for Muslim consumption.
Tim Hortons does offer other brewed drinks that may be considered halal, provided they contain only non-dairy creamer or other approved halal ingredients like sugar. Also, some of their French Vanilla coffee may use dairy based steamed milk and it is important to inquire before placing an order to be certain.
Tim Hortons also offers several halal breakfast menu items, including their Egg and Hashbrowns or Beyond Sausage Lettuce Tomatoes made with halal-certified chicken meat that has been prepared separately from non-halal meat, to reduce cross contamination risk. Furthermore, Tim Hortons provides several vegetarian soups and Oatmeal dishes which also fall within this category.
Tim Hortons medium roast halal coffee is widely available across Europe and can be found in single-serve cups for those seeking an acceptable, certified halal beverage. Crafted using only 100% Arabica beans and roasted to medium strength with light sweetness – gluten-free as well!
