coffee-01.jpgA hot steaming cup of coffee.  That is what I love drinking first thing in the morning.  That first sip is like a warm hug from a familiar friend.  I love similes :grin:.   There really is no better beverage to drink in the morning.  Orange juice and the rest of the juices take a back to seat to coffee.  On another note, whenever you read any coffee related articles in the paper or on msn.ca they often talk about the health ramifications and benefits.  After reading an article I am always left wondering: Is coffee good for me or not?  It is always the same banter.  One study says a few cups of coffee a day reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, while another study says stay away from coffee as it can cause hypertension and insomnia.  Anyway, I think moderation is the key and I will continue to drink it.

Now on to a more pressing issue, where to buy a good cup of coffee.  Of course, there are many coffee shops, for example Starbucks,  Coffee Time, Timothy’s, Mr. Bean, Second Cup and so on.  If you’re Canadian than I know which coffee shop you prefer over the others.  Tim Horton’s, right?  I think, it certainly kicks the butt of all the other coffee shops around.  And, I’m talking strictly about coffee quality, as really there is nothing more important to compare.  Of course, Oakville is littered with Tim Hortons franchises and we all have our favorite location.  However, I really want to recommend a location.   This location is located here.  The reason why it’s great is because it’s the National Training Center, so the service is excellent and fast, the sandwiches are always super fresh, the coffee is piping hot and always very fresh and the drive-thru line wait is short in the morning.  I’m not saying that the other locations don’t provide this, but you can be assured of the best every-time you go to this training center store. 

In short, I love coffee with milk from Tim Hortons.  How about you?  Also, where is your favourite coffee shop located?
