I’ve got it! I’d you’re wondering where I ended up on my Tim Hortons U.S. journey.

The real difference I noticed is really 2 things:

1) How you order your sugar. If you’re getting an iced coffee, trust me, get the LIQUID SUGAR option. So much better.

2) ICE 🧊: I didn’t mention this in the video but I realized if I’m given an iced coffee with low ice it’s just NOT gonna be good.

So here’s my current order (and though it may change- for now, I’m loving this one)

MED Iced Coffee
1 pump liquid sugar
1 cream (or splash of cream)

Hope this helps. I’ve loved trying all of your coffee orders! Thank you for teaching me all your ways. This was actually a lot of fun.

I’m a sucker for a viral trend and seeing canned coffee in Chautauqua County made me SO happy - I had to go check it out for myself.

Jenna is serving up some really cool treats out of her roadside stand and I am here for it.

You can stop in and pick up an iced coffee or dirty Alani energy drink at her The Britton’s Homestead | Jamestown NY | Farm Stand stand located at: 1427 South Main Extension Road in Jamestown!

If you stop in, leave her a note and a warm welcome to the community. Jenna- welcome!! We are so excited that you’re here 🥰

Ok… now give them a follow here: The Britton’s Homestead | Jamestown NY | Farm Stand and go get some! (… you’re welcome! 🤗 )

There is so much to love about summers on Chautauqua Lake.

I’m doing my best to soak in as much as I possibly can but July is flying and I just want to hit pause. Anyone else?

Which scene is your favorite?

07/23/2026

July isn’t over yet… but here’s a roundup of some big favorites so far.

1) This 2.5 pound bucket of crab legs from Smoke on the water in Conneaut, OH - we stopped in while driving home from Columbus but it was definitely worth the stop. Smoke on the Water BBQ & Seafood, Conneaut, OH

2) Lobster rolls. Need I say more? Taste Buds || Julie Lampard || Private Chef ||📍Chautauqua, NY crushed it.

3) Renting a charter for my sisters birthday celebration. onefinedaychq.com does not have a social media account- but he does have a website and he’s quick to pick up the phone or give a callback if you call. 10/10 in my book.

4) Celebrated a friend at Sôlt Cafe & Bar 📍Jamestown, NY this month… such a great spot for an intimate girly gathering. Bonus tip: pick up flowers from The Loft Homestead 👌

5) 붕수대통 붕어싸만코 ice cream at Wegmans. Wow. 🤯 Go find it!

6) Backyard celebrations with friends. Celebrated our friend Nina Zhidkov last night and this is what summer nights in July are all about.

Welp… that’s my list for now. July better slow down because this is one awesome list so far. 🥹 Is July my favorite month? Maybe.

I’m getting closer! 🙌

Totally surprised by this one.

I’m on a mission to find MY Tim Horton’s order. One that is more consistent and one I’m gonna like.

I’ll be honest- I AM particular about my coffee and Tim’s is never really my first choice but a girl can try to at least find her “usual”.

I’m open to suggestions but I think I’m getting closer!

This time I tried:

Medium Double double (again!!)

Medium double double with caramel

Medium iced with a splash of oat milk and 2 caramels

Medium iced with 4 milks, 2 Splenda and 1 hazelnut.

Had to break the video up into 2 parts… part 3 coming tomorrow. ❤️
