Large double-double costs less than most YUL latte options
This Tim Hortons gives you familiar Canadian coffee before or after flights at Montréal–Trudeau (YUL). You’ll see prices a bit lower than the indie cafés in the public check‑in hall, with basic drip and tea usually under CAD $3 for a medium. It’s a standard Tims setup: hot drinks, iced drinks, breakfast sandwiches, and donuts in the usual red-and-brown branding.
Expect the full core menu: Timbits in rotating flavors, breakfast sandwiches on English muffins or bagels, and the classic double-double. Iced Capps show up here too, useful on summer days when Montréal swings above 25°C and the terminal feels warm. Food comes prepped fast-line style, so it works for a 15–20 minute stop between security and your gate.
Quality is what you’d see at street‑level Tim Hortons on Boulevard René‑Lévesque: consistent, not specialty coffee. Regulars stick to drip or an Iced Capp; espresso-based drinks can taste a bit flat compared with the Café Van Houtte machines near some gates. Breakfast sandwiches run around CAD $4–$6 and usually arrive in under 5 minutes, even during 07:00–09:00 rush.
Lines peak in the early bank of departures between 06:00 and 08:30 and again around 16:00. Staff usually move through the queue quickly, but a 10–15 minute wait isn’t rare when two or more widebodies leave close together. If the line hits the corridor, skip heated items and grab donuts or Timbits so you’re not waiting for the oven cycle.
Tip: order your coffee and a 10‑pack of Timbits in one go; it travels well to the gate, and you won’t pay the higher snack prices at smaller kiosks near the boarding areas.
