Tim Hortons Hours: Opening, Closing, Breakfast and Lunch Times

Tim Hortons hours vary by restaurant, but most Tims in Canada open between 5 and 6 AM and close between 9 and 11 PM, while many drive-thru locations stay open 24 hours. Breakfast items like the Scrambled Egg Loaded Wraps are served until 11 AM, and lunch items start at 11 AM.

In this guide, I cover typical opening and closing times, breakfast and lunch hours, 24-hour locations, drive-thru hours, holiday hours, and why some Tims keep shorter hours than others. Every Tim Hortons sets its own schedule, so I also show you the fastest way to check the exact hours for the restaurant near you.

Tim Hortons Hours at a Glance

Here are the key times in one place:

These are typical patterns, not fixed rules. Each Tim Hortons is owned by a local restaurant owner who sets the hours, so always confirm with the Tim Hortons app or the store locator before you go.

What Time Does Tim Hortons Open?

Most Tim Hortons restaurants open between 5:00 and 6:00 AM. In Toronto, for example, many street and drive-thru locations open at 5:00 AM, others at 5:30 or 6:00 AM, and a few at 7:00 AM. Restaurants with a drive-thru on a busy road usually open earliest, because they serve commuters and shift workers.

Locations inside other buildings open later. Tim’ss counters in office towers, the PATH, food courts, and train stations often open at 7:00 or 8:00 AM, and some campus or hospital locations open even later on weekends.

What Time Does Tim Hortons Close?

Most street locations close between 9:00 and 11:00 PM. In Toronto, common closing times are 9:00, 1,0:00, and 11:00 PM, with 11:00 PM being the most typical for drive-thru restaurants.

Offices, schools, and hospitals often have shorter hours. Some of these close in the afternoon, between 3:00 and 6:00 PM, and many are closed on Saturday and Sunday when the building is quiet. If you are heading out late, look for a 24-hour drive-thru instead.

Tim Hortons Breakfast Hours

Tim Hortons serves its breakfast menu from opening time until 11:00 AM at most restaurants. When Tim Hortons launched its Scrambled Egg Loaded Wraps in 2025, it listed them as available between 4:00 AM and 11:00 AM, and that 11:00 AM cutoff is the time to keep in mind for hot breakfast items like breakfast sandwiches, wraps, and hash browns.

Does Tim Hortons Have All Day Breakfast?

Tim Hortons has not announced an all-day breakfast menu in Canada, so hot breakfast items are mainly available in the morning. Coffee, tea, donuts, Timbits, muffins, and other baked goods are available all day. If you want a hot breakfast sandwich after 11:00 AM, ask your local restaurant, because availability can vary.

You can see every morning item on my Tim Hortons breakfast menu guide.

Tim Hortons Lunch Hours

Lunch items start at 11:00 AM. On its website, Tim Hortons lists lunch items such as the Turkey Bacon Club as available starting at 11 AM, and recent lunch deals have run from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Sandwiches, wraps, bowls, soups, chi, li, and flatbread pizzas then stay on the menu through the afternoon and evening, since Tim Hortons promotes them as both lunch and dinner options.

Some promotions use evening hours. In the fall of 2025, the $8.99 Dinner Deal ran from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM. For the full lunch lineup, see my Tim Hortons sandwiches menu guide.

24 Hour Tim Hortons Locations

Many Tims restaurants are open 24 hours, especially drive-thru locations on main roads and highways. In Toronto alone, 20 of roughly 182 locations are listed as open 24 hours, and you can see them all below. Most are standalone restaurants with drive-thru service, and some hospital locations are open 24 hours.

How to Find a 24-Hour Tim Hortons Near You

Open the store locator on the Tim Hortons website or app, search your city or postal code, and check each restaurant’s hours. A 24-hour store shows hours from midnight to 11:59 PM. Google Maps also shows “Open 24 hours” for these locations, but the Tims app is the most reliable source.

24 Hour Tim Hortons in Toronto

Toronto has the biggest cluster of round-the-clock Tims in Canada. A recent listing of about 182 Toronto locations shows 20 stores open from midnight to 11:59 PM. Here they are by area, with each store’s address and phone number so you can call ahead.

Downtown Toronto

These downtown locations are listed as open 24 hours, making them handy for night shifts, hospital visits, and late nights near the university and the waterfront.

East End Toronto

On the east side of the city, these 24-hour locations sit along Eastern Avenue and the Danforth.

West End and Midtown Toronto

The west end has the most 24-hour locations in the city, spread across Bloor, Keele, Weston, Davenport and Caledonia, plus a hospital location in Etobicoke.

North York and Scarborough

In the north and east suburbs, these 24-hour24-hour locations are on major roads like Yonge, Keele, Don Mills, Sheppard, and Markham Road.

Store hours can change, especially on holidays, so confirm in the Tims app or on the store page before a late-night trip.

Tim Hortons Drive Thru Hours

Drive-thru hours can differ from dining room hours, and many downtown stores don’t have a drive-thru. Each store page on the Tims locator lists drive-thru hours separately, so check that line if you plan to order from your car.

Tim Hortons Holiday Hours

Tim Hortons does not publish one set of holiday hours for all of Canada. Each restaurant owner decides whether to open on a holiday and for how long, so hours vary by store on days like Christmas, New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Canada Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving.

For example, one university campus Tims in Mississauga ran from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM on the Friday before Thanksgiving 2026, then 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM over the long weekend. Check the Tims app for the exact holiday hours at your restaurant.

Why Tim Hortons Hours Vary by Location

The biggest reason is ownership. Most Tim Hortons restaurants are owned and run by local franchise owners, and they set hours based on how busy their area is. Location type matters too:

How to Check if Tim Hortons Is Open Today

The fastest way is the Tim Hortons app. Set your restaurant, and the app shows whether it is open now, along with today’s hours. You can also use the store locator on the Tim Hortons website, where each restaurant has its own page with dining room and drive-thru hours and a phone number. Google Maps is handy for a quick check, but holiday changes may not always show there.

While you wait, browse the Tim Hortons coffee or drinks menu to plan your order.

Best Time to Visit Tim Hortons

Mornings are busiest, as commuters line up on the way to work, especially at drive-thrus and downtown locations. Mid-afternoon is usually the quietest time to visit, and ordering ahead in the app is the easiest way to skip the line.

Final Thoughts

Tim Hortons hours are set by each restaurant, but the pattern is clear: most Tims open between 5 and 6 AM, close between 9 and 11 PM, and plenty of drive-thrus stay open 24 hours. Breakfast items run until 11:00 AM, lunch items start at 11:00 AM, and office, campus, and hospital locations keep shorter schedules. Check the Tims app before you go, especially on holidays.

Hi, I’m Jordan. I started this site because finding current Tim Hortons prices online was harder than it should be, and most menu pages I came across were years out of date. I check prices against the official Tim Hortons app and website, and I keep every page updated whenever prices, sizes, or items change. If something doesn’t match what you’re seeing at your local store, message me through the contact page, and I’ll look into it.
