I have had them fairly fresh, like within 5 hours of baking. I was not
impressed.

A new Tim Hortons? That's almost redundant around here. They open up so many of
them that they are all almost new. I live in a town of 15,000 and we have three
of them. In the city closest to me there are three of them within a half mile
of each other. Robins, on the other hand, has been a drastic failure around
here. Every one of them has closed. That's a shame because they were pretty
good.

It must be a matter of taste. I was never a fan of their stuff. Hortons donuts
went downhill when they changed to the par-bake system, but even those are
better IMO than DD.
