Are Tim Hortons donuts vegan?

No, donuts are not vegan-friendly. Everything is non-vegan in the dessert section. While there’s the drinks above that you can make into candy-like sweet abominations, as I must admit I have done in the past, there aren’t any proper vegan desserts at Timmies in the USA or Canada.

In some UK locations they apparently sometimes have a vegan brownie or something with a V sticker on it, but really that’s just a local thing in certain UK locations rather than a Tim Hortons product.
