What is the proper lingo for ordering a coffee at Tim Hortons?

Question

I tried ordering in Nova Scotia the way I would in the States (2 creams, 1 sugar). They stopped and got irritated with me but the kind guy behind us "translated". I didn't catch what he said though. Can anyone explain Tim Horton speak to me?

Answer 1

uh heres what my mom says. she doesnt even need to talk anymore though when she walks in they start making it lmao its hillaarios. "i'de like a extra large double double to go please." and we say it the same way maybe he was new and he didnt know how much 1 or 2 was when it came to that. and man you gotta know time hortens its the besxt place in the world.

Answer 2

Ask for a 'Single Sugar, Double Cream'...

Actually, just order it 'Double Double', they're less likely to make a mistake... Plus the coffee is bitter, which is why everyone puts 2 sugar in it...

Answer 3

Saying 2 cream 1 sugar is acceptable. Older employees will understand (Cream first sugar second) just the numbers ex) the size then  "2 and 1"

Regular= 1 cream 1 Sugar

DoubleDouble= 2 cream 2 Sugar

TripleTriple= 3 Cream 3 sugar

Answer 4

I've heard that too, for the number of creams and sugars you need to say it. Like double double or triple triple. Kind of a weird system if you ask me...

Answer 5

double double = two cream, two sugar

Ive never ordered it an other way...so Im not sure what you'd call anything else.

All I know is its yummy coffee!
