Tim Hortons Hours: Breakfast, Lunch and Store Hours
Most people searching Tim Hortons hours want one of two things: when breakfast stops, and whether the nearest restaurant is open right now.
The short answer: breakfast runs all day at participating restaurants across Canada, and every restaurant sets its own opening hours. Here is what that means in practice, plus the fastest way to check your local Tims.
By Greesko Makaro · Updated October 2026About these prices: Tim Hortons does not publish a national price list online. Prices are typical prices from several current listings in October 2026, in Canadian dollars before tax. A ~ means only one source lists the price or sources disagree.
🍳Breakfast Hours
Tim Hortons launched all-day breakfast at participating restaurants across Canada on July 25, 2018, after testing it in Ontario earlier that year. The rollout covered breakfast sandwiches on a biscuit or English muffin and hash browns.
Before that, breakfast stopped at noon. Tim Hortons extended breakfast to 12 PM, 7 days a week, at all Canadian restaurants serving breakfast on November 15, 2011.
| Period | Breakfast hours |
|---|---|
| Before November 2011 | Morning only |
| November 15, 2011 to 2018 | Until noon, 7 days a week |
| July 25, 2018 onward | All day at participating restaurants |
Pro Tip
If a breakfast item is missing late at night, ask. All-day breakfast is for participating restaurants, so a few may still limit it.

🥪When Does Tim Hortons Serve Lunch?
Tim Hortons does not publish a national lunch start time. Wraps, bowls, sandwiches, flatbread pizzas, soup and chili sit on the menu next to all-day breakfast, so in most restaurants you can order either one.
Soup flavours rotate by day and by restaurant, so the soup you get at noon in one city can differ from another.

🏪Tim Hortons Store and Drive-Thru Hours
Each restaurant sets its own hours. Many open early in the morning, and some restaurants run 24 hours. Restaurants inside malls, hospitals, schools and arenas usually follow the hours of the building.
Standalone restaurants
Usually the longest hours, often with a drive-thru.
Drive-thru only times
Some restaurants close the dining room but keep the drive-thru open later.
Malls, campuses and arenas
Hours follow the building, so they close earlier and may shut on holidays or weekends.
These are patterns, not promises. The only reliable answer for a specific restaurant is its listing.
🔎How to Check Your Restaurant’s Hours
Tim Hortons says the hours, address and phone number of each restaurant are on its website through the restaurant locator.
- Open the Tim Hortons app or timhortons.ca and use the restaurant locator.
- Search your city or postal code and tap the restaurant to see its hours.
- Check the drive-thru hours separately if the listing shows them.
- On holidays, check the same day, since restaurants can change hours.

🎄Holiday Hours
Tim Hortons does not publish one national holiday schedule. Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving and other statutory holidays are handled restaurant by restaurant. Some stay open with shorter hours and some close. Check the locator on the day.
