Tim Hortons (Woodlands Health)

Tim Hortons has been making quite an aggressive expansion in the Singapore market after the success of their very first outpost at VivoCity — since then, the Canadian coffee shop can be found at several locations all over the island; such places would include that of NEX, One Raffles Place, Westgate, Suntec City etc.; there is also a location in 313@Somerset that carries an outlet-exclusive offering of Pasta Bakes which adds on to the variety of hot food that they serve up. These folks had recently opened their very first location up north; interestingly situated within Woodlands Health Campus (connected to Woodlands South MRT Station), the Tim
Hortons outlet can be found at Level 1 at Tower B — this does make them located some distance away from all the other F&B concepts that can be found within the compounds of Woodlands Health Campus, though it does also occupy quite a sizeable shop unit that is more spacious than a few of their other locations here. The Woodlands Health Campus store is decked in a similar style to that of their other standard locations, with the menu carrying the standard range comprising of items split into categories such as Espresso, Iced Capp, Brewed Coffee, Tea, Chocolate and Others, Melts, Timbits, Donut, Baked Goods, Cakes & Tarts, and Bagels.

If there is one donut that we would stick to whilst visiting Tim Hortons, it would definitely be their Maple Glaze Donut — the donuts at Tim Hortons are available from 10am onwards, and that these are baked in batches throughout the day which ensures patrons do get a reasonably fresh one whenever they drop by a Tim Hortons outlet for them. The Maple Glaze Donut isn’t an unfamiliar item for us considering we have had the same item during our very first visit to Tim Hortons in Singapore at NEX — a twist to the usual donut, the Maple Glaze Donut sees a maple-infused glaze instead of the usual sugary glaze or sugar crystals that one would find for a typical donut. Have always found Tim Hortons’ donuts to be pretty enjoyable where they are pillowy soft and fluffy despite its slightly dense looks — also doesn’t come anywhere greasy like how a deep-fried donut would be like. Considering the infusion of maple in the glaze above the donut, this added a nice floral note to the inherent sweetness of the glaze — the sweetness of the entire donut also being pretty well-controlled here.
