I admit I'll gladly take a lodge reglah at Dunks over nearly any other coffee from any other place (I believe it is hardwired into the New Englander psyche from birth, much like the crystals implanted in the palms of the babies in Logan's Run) but I really, really, really like Timbits.
So much so that any time someone drove me down to Providence I'd beg 'em to stop at the single Tim Horton's I knew just to get some. I had memorized the route and everything. "C'mon, it's less than 5 minutes out of our way. And the cinnamon ones rule."
Sad to see 'em go. They didn't even make as many foolish expansion decisions as Krispy Kreme did, though refusing to take locality and local tastes into account is a little frown-inducing.
