💋 The Smooch Food Verdict
Pure Dessert Bliss: The new Caramel Churro Iced Capp is an absolute celebration of summer sweetness. While the iconic Salted Caramel flavor remains the reigning champion, this version stands out for its execution. The real star of the show is the cinnamon crunch topping inside the dome lid, providing a satisfying, texture-rich crunch that captures that authentic, warm churro vibe. Swap out the heavy cream for milk if you prefer a slightly lighter afternoon pick-me-up!
Happy Sunday! We usually stick to our neighbourhood routine, but today felt like a day for something different. We found ourselves over by the Renfrew SkyTrain Station (an area we do not usually frequent) as we were heading to a different church for Mass.
Exploring a new corner of the city always calls for a pit stop, and of course, Tim Hortons was calling my name. This particular spot seems quite new and clean, which actually made us giggle. It feels much bigger than our usual Tims, likely because the massive glass windows let in so much beautiful natural light.
The "Tims Passport" Wish List
As I was sitting there, it hit me: I have written over 50 posts dedicated to Tims menu items, and I have visited so many different branches across the city to do it. I really wish the Tim Hortons app had a "stats" page! It would be amazing to see a map of how many locations you have visited over the years. Seeing a little digital badge for the Renfrew location would have been the perfect addition to my morning.
Taste Test: The New Caramel Churro Iced Capp
Since it is officially perfect weather for a cold drink, I had to try the new Caramel Churro Iced Capp. It is sweet, ice-cold, and feels like a true celebration of the season.

Flavors and Crunchy Toppings Breakdown
The true standout for me? The toppings. Those crunchy cinnamon-sugar bits sitting right on top of the dome lid add such a great textural contrast to the slushy base. It really captures that warm, freshly-fried churro vibe perfectly against the classic, icy coffee undertone.
It was the perfect sweet and cold start to our Sunday. It is funny how a familiar drink can make a brand new neighbourhood feel a little more like home.
If the Tims app tracked your visits, how many different locations do you think you would have on your map? I am betting I would be in the twenties by now!

It combines the traditional, bold frozen coffee base of a classic Iced Capp with a distinct, sweet cinnamon-sugar syrup blend. It leans heavily dessert-like, amplified by the whipped topping and crunchy cinnamon bits.
No, this is a seasonal summer feature at Tim Hortons locations across Canada. Make sure to try it through the drive-thru while the summer weather lasts!
