When I heard that Tim Hortons was launching a bottled version of their Iced Capp I was so excited! I used to have FOUR Tim Hortons within a walkable distance of where I lived out east. Here in my area of Vancouver? Nothing!
The Product
Whenever I go to the Michaels on Broadway I make sure to also stop by the Tims and get myself an Iced Capp.
The idea of picking one up for around $2 and having that treat at home was just too thrilling not to try!
Product Testing
Now an Iced Capp is a frozen treat so I could not try it without at least adding some ice. Described on the bottle as a “dairy product with coffee extract,” this does not do an Iced Capp justice.
Neither did serving it on ice. As I drank it, it reminded me of a MELTED Iced Capp. Gross!
So I put the drink in the blender with the ice to try and mimic that frozen treat foodie feeling.
Foodie Results
It was better but just not the same! Honestly, it felt like I was drinking the syrup for the Iced Capp, not an Iced Capp itself.
Foodie Conclusion
I tried the original and the mocha and came to the same conclusion. It just is NOT the same. Without all that icy goodness the way they make it at the restaurant, it is just way too sweet. In fact one 300 mL bottle is 300 calories. That is more than twice the calories of an average can of pop.
I do appreciate that they use Canadian milk (awesome!) but it is only partly skimmed so there are 6 grams of fat. I was impressed to see they disclosed that there is also 100 mg of caffeine in the bottle. Ouch for my sensitive brain!
There is no comparison. The bottled version of an Iced Capp is just really sweet coffee-flavoured milk, not the brain-freezing deliciousness you get directly from Tims. I appreciate their efforts but it is just a glorified iced coffee and mine are better with less calories.
I give this product two out of five wooden spoons.
Two wooden spoons, ouch. But hey, here’s to trying new things.
It only cost me $2 so for a product review, I didn’t mind. At least I know now!
Grateful that you have spared me from high hopes for a home version of a Canadian classic!
You’re welcome Vicky!
Too funny Suzie. I tried this today also. I was so excited to try it but it truly disappointed me. Just tasted like thick cream but in a sickly kind of way. When I saw you did a review I was wondering what you would say about it but I am glad we were on the same page with this product. Too bad – the idea was good.
Wow Tammy, that’s exactly how I felt too, sickly sweet and thick. Without all that ice in it (I mean it is called an Iced Capp) it’s just too much. Thanks for letting me know you agree!
Put it in the freezer overnight and then let it slightly thaw it will taste the same as getting it from Timmy’s
Oh wow, that is so smart Mosey, maybe I’ll try that this summer, thank you!
A very rich, very sweet mocha drink that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, and I’m talking about the bottled kind, not the kind you get a TIms full of ice. I could INHALE about three bottles of it at one time. Absolutely crazy about the rich mocha taste!!!
Cat, there is definitely rich mocha taste, that is for sure! So glad you like it. 🙂
