Least favorite: Never had one in Canada, but the ones in India were at a premium price point for some weird reason. Was the food premium? No. Quite the opposite actually. Alongside this, definitely Tim Hortons. Fuck that place. So so unsanitary. Coffee is burnt, tea is bitter, their Boston creams taste like sugary snot packed in a sugar bomb dough... I have no idea why people get stuff from Tim's.
Most favorite: Calgary coop's non packaged food or whatever it's called. Their bakery produces DELICIOUS stuff. Very slightly more expensive than Tim's, but their Boston creams are so so good. Less sweet AND THEY HAVE SOME FLAVOR. Their muffins and fritters are massive (and delicious).
Coop gas bars are severely underrated too. They sell French vanillas (and other such sweet drinks like hazelnut lattes or whatever) there too! Cheaper than Tim's, bigger portion sizes. They have coffee and tea too, but I've never tasted it. Oh yes, they have slushies too! Again, massive portion sizes, cheaper than Tim's.
There's also the added advantage that coop is a consumer coop, so it's closer to market socialism than the other options ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
