People who know me know that I need to take frozen coffee in the morning. But it’s not just frozen coffee, it’s frozen coffee with coconut or almond milk substitutions (not that it makes it significantly healthier). The only real place around is a Starbucks and they do a good job with my order.

Recently, in Staten Island, a cluster of Tim Horton’s coffee chain locations were established. I’ve always been curious to try it as I’ve heard good things about this chain of restaurants. I finally got a chance and thought to commemorate the occassion. The drink was pretty good!

Starbucks also had these drinks that were limited only for the summer season and everytime I’d get frozen coffee, I’d see these prominently advertised. My niece absolutely loves these things so during a recent family get together, we all stopped at a Starbucks and I tried it. I think it’s called “Summer Dream” or something (I’m even embarrassed that I’m typing it out 😂). It’s supposed to be Starbuck’s answer to the asian tapioca drinks – which I love and I’ll probably do a post on sometime soon. The drink was ok but I found it to be very watery…like wtf….this ain’t no summer dream! 😂

As you can see in both pictures, my Ohio State Buckeyes football cap is prominently featured. It has a permanent home on my dashboard as the default vehicle cap. Buckeye football, up until recently, has been the only thing that has buoyed my excitement with anything sports related as all my sports teams have been atrocious.

With the backdrop of historically huge college football rivalries (Texas/Oklahoma, Florida/Tennessee) this weekend, we’ll be playing the most consequential game at this point of the college football season when we go into Eugene, Oregon to play the #3 ranked Ducks.

This effectively means I’m shutting in for the entirety of Saturday with chinese food and small snacks.

    Tim Horton’s in the US?!! What the what??
    As a Canadian, of course I’m well versed in anything Tim Horton’s and even my small little northern city has one….and the drivethru is never not long, it’s crazy the money they must make. Iced capps (made with chocolate milk not cream) are my fave….I really like the caffeine content in them. Since I gave up sugar I try and stay away but once in a blue moon I treat myself to one….might do that this weekend since it’s our Thanksgiving weekend up here and I’m feeling festive lol….sounds like you have a great Saturday planned as well!

    There is no Tim Hortons in Florida… I want to try coffee someday.😅☕️

      this has only been a relatively recent expansion – if they are here now, i’m 100% sure they will be in Florida! 🙂

    Your favorite coffee sounds delicious! I’m not a fan of Starbucks, but it sounds like something worth a try 🙂

      Starbucks probably has additives that make people addicted to it lol. i’m complaining…but sort of not as it’s got me hooked haha. The prices though could be improved :/

    I hope the Buckeyes will do well this year.

    I haven’t tried any of these ice frozen drinks. I just get my coffee black.

      thanks Matt. i hope they do well too. with Nick Saban’s retirement from Alabama, there is almost no excuse for the Buckeyes not to win the collegiate title

    Tim Hortons finally made it to out world too. Their coffee is good, better priced than Starbucks.

    A lot of brand promotion here Mike 😀

    Sounds like great weekend plans! We finally have the weather for it. Enjoy. 🙂

      Thanks Rachel! checked up on the weather up there – it’s certainly the turn of the season. All there is now Daylight Savings and we are going into the cold!

    i’ve never tried frozen coffee, but now my interest is piqued. time to stop by a starbucks!

    1. Michael Williams Avatar

      it’s been a staple breakfast for me lol. it’s their mocha frappuccino and I’ll get it with either coconut or almond milk, and they may even have a “light” syrup depending on the demand for it!

    I found out on a recent outing that we have a Tim Hortons in the UK. Pleasantly surprised with just how nice their coffee is. Been back twice since 😅

      hehe it’s nice to have a different coffee shop other than the locals and starbucks, isn’t it? a little more variety and offerings helps put excitement in a standard coffee run 🙂
