I didn't get a free coffee. I'm trying to stay away from the stuff.
Starbucks is overroasted and heavily brewed. It's not for everyone. You must like really strong and generally burnt coffee.
And as far as Tim Hortons is concerned, it's as pervasive in Canadian culture as, say, apple pie in America. "Timmy's" usually goes hand in hand with travelling across the country and early mornings of hockey.
Some insights on travelling in Canada, Tim Hortons, and Starbucks:
