Tim Hortons Caffeine & Calories by Drink (2026)

Tim Hortons caffeine and calories answer different ordering questions. Caffeine mostly follows the coffee base and serving size. Calories can change dramatically when the same brewed coffee becomes a Double Double or when a cold drink is blended with a sweet, creamy base. This guide puts both numbers beside each other so you can choose strength, sweetness, or a lighter order without treating every figure as equally certain.

The comparison uses the July 2026 Coffee Near You Tim Hortons drink menu snapshot: 11 drinks, 38 size entries, and 35 size-specific caffeine values. It reflects Canadian nutrition information and should not be generalized to every recipe or country. Choose a store from the Tim Hortons location directory and confirm the current local build before relying on a number for a dietary decision.

How much caffeine and how many calories are in Tim Hortons drinks?

At Medium size, Original Blend and Double Double are the strongest listed drinks at about 205 mg of caffeine. Original Blend is only 4 calories black, while the cream and sugar in a Double Double take it to 200 calories. For cold drinks, Original Iced Coffee is 150 calories and about 170 mg; Original Iced Capp is 330 calories and about 140 mg.

The table is a decision snapshot, not a claim that every Tim Hortons recipe worldwide is identical. “Official” means the calorie value appears in the Canadian nutrition source used by the Coffee Near You menu. “Approx.” means the caffeine value comes from the secondary dataset identified in that menu file. “Not published” protects a gap instead of filling it with a guess.

Two ordering lessons stand out. First, more calories do not mean more caffeine: the Medium French Vanilla and Iced Capp each have 330 calories but less caffeine than black Original Blend. Second, the same caffeine base can carry radically different calories: Original Blend and Double Double share the listed caffeine at each size, yet the additions turn a nearly calorie-free coffee into a much richer drink.

Which Tim Hortons caffeine and calorie numbers are official?

The calorie figures in this guide come from Tim Hortons Canadian nutrition information, while the caffeine figures are approximate secondary-source values. Tim Hortons says guests seeking caffeine details should use its Guest Care Nutrition/Ingredients flow rather than a public chart. The difference matters: a calorie value can be presented as part of the nutrition snapshot, but a caffeine value should carry an approximation label.

The official Tim Hortons caffeine disclosure does not list amounts by drink and size. Coffee Near You therefore preserves the evidence boundary from its menu data: calories trace to Tim Hortons nutrition material, caffeine traces to Caffeine Informer, and missing values remain missing. Reviewed July 11, 2026, this is a comparison aid rather than a laboratory measurement or personal medical recommendation.

How much caffeine is in Tim Hortons Original Blend by size?

Tim Hortons Original Blend ranges from about 140 mg of caffeine in a Small to 330 mg in an Extra Large. A Medium has about 205 mg and a Large about 270 mg. Taken black, all four sizes remain between 3 and 5 calories in the Canadian nutrition snapshot.

This is the clearest example of size moving caffeine while calories stay almost flat. Coffee volume rises from a 10-ounce Small to a 24-ounce Extra Large, but black coffee contributes very little energy. The detailed Original Blend calories and caffeine by size page is useful when you want the menu entry without the full guide.

How many calories are in a Tim Hortons Double Double?

A Tim Hortons Double Double has 130 calories in a Small, 200 in a Medium, 250 in a Large, and 300 in an Extra Large.It retains the same approximate caffeine as Original Blend at each size because “Double Double” describes two creams and two sugars added to brewed coffee. Those additions explain the calorie jump.

A Medium shows the trade-off cleanly: both the black coffee and Double Double list about 205 mg of caffeine, but their calories are 4 and 200. Ordering one cream and one sugar, choosing milk, or asking for sweetener changes the final total, so the standard Double Double number should not be applied to a custom build. See the Double Double calories by size page for the base menu record.

How many calories and how much caffeine are in an Iced Capp?

An Original Iced Capp has 260 calories and about 110 mg of caffeine in a Small, 330 calories and about 140 mg in a Medium, and 430 calories and about 170 mg in a Large. It is a frozen, creamy coffee treat rather than a low-calorie substitute for black iced coffee.

The word “Original” is important. Flavor shots, different dairy choices, whipped topping, or limited-time recipes can change the calories. The caffeine estimate is also preparation-sensitive. Use the Original Iced Capp nutrition by size page as the baseline, then confirm the configured order in the app.

Is Tim Hortons iced coffee lighter than an Iced Capp?

Yes. At Medium size, Original Iced Coffee has 150 calories versus 330 in an Original Iced Capp. The iced coffee also has the higher listed approximate caffeine, 170 mg versus 140 mg. This makes Original Iced Coffee the lighter and somewhat stronger standard cold choice in the current snapshot, although it is still prepared with cream and sugar.

Original Cold Brew also has 150 calories in a Medium, but its caffeine cell is unavailable. It would be misleading to assume the number from iced coffee or another chain. If strength determines your order, choose a drink with a supported value or ask Guest Care. The Original Iced Coffee calories and caffeine page gives the known size breakdown.

Which Tim Hortons drinks have the most caffeine?

The strongest known entries in this snapshot are Extra Large Original Blend and Double Double at about 330 mg each. Large Original Iced Coffee follows at about 285 mg, while Large Original Blend and Double Double are about 270 mg. This ranking includes only supported cells; Original Cold Brew is not ranked because no caffeine value is available.

1. Most caffeine: Extra Large Original Blend or Double Double, about 330 mg.
2. Strong cold choice: Large Original Iced Coffee, about 285 mg.
3. Strong with zero listed calories: Extra Large plain Steeped Tea, about 210 mg and 0 calories.
4. Medium hot benchmark: Original Blend or Double Double, about 205 mg.
5. Unknown: Original Cold Brew stays outside the ranking until a supported value exists.

To compare brands rather than sizes within Tims, use the coffee-chain caffeine comparison. Brand recipes and cup sizes differ, so the fairest comparison keeps the named drink, country, and serving size visible instead of treating a generic “medium coffee” as universal.

What are the lowest-calorie Tim Hortons orders?

Plain Steeped Tea is the lowest supported choice at 0 calories across all listed sizes. Black Original Blend is next at 3 to 5 calories. Both retain meaningful approximate caffeine, which makes them more efficient choices when you want energy without the calories from cream, sugar, or a frozen base.

• Zero listed calories: order Steeped Tea plain, without milk, cream, or sugar.
• Lowest-calorie coffee: order Original Blend black; size changes caffeine much more than calories.
• Lighter cold baseline: Original Iced Coffee or Original Cold Brew is 150 calories in a Medium, compared with 330 for Iced Capp.
• Control additions: request fewer creams or sugars and check how the app updates the nutrition display.
• Do not fill gaps: Americano calories are unavailable in this dataset, so compare it only after checking the current menu.

The broader coffee-chain calorie comparison helps when you are choosing among chains. Within Tim Hortons, the practical rule is simpler: plain brewed coffee or tea is light, standard cream and sugar add energy, and frozen or powder-based drinks behave more like treats.

How do cream, sugar, milk, and size change the numbers?

Size changes caffeine by increasing the amount of coffee or tea, while cream, sugar, milk, syrups, and toppings mainly change calories. A Medium Original Blend and Medium Double Double both list about 205 mg of caffeine, yet the first has 4 calories black and the second 200. That is the cleanest way to separate the two nutrition decisions.

Milk choice can also affect the final build, but a general guide cannot calculate a custom drink without knowing the exact number of portions and the store recipe. Ask for the nutrition display after configuring the drink. If you reduce cream or sugar, do not automatically reduce the caffeine figure; if you add an espresso shot, do not reuse the base drink figure.

Country matters too. The calorie values here are grounded in Canadian nutrition material, while a U.S. recipe, limited-time flavor, or reformulated product may differ. Keep the drink name, size, country, and preparation date together whenever you save or share a nutrition number.

How should you check caffeine and calories before ordering?

Start with the standard recipe in the Tim Hortons app or official nutrition experience, select your local store and country, then add the exact size and customizations. Use this guide to shortlist a drink, not to override the current checkout nutrition display. For exact caffeine, allergens, medical restrictions, or an unlisted product such as Cold Brew, contact Guest Care.

1. Match the complete product name: Original Iced Coffee is not the same recipe as black iced coffee.
2. Match the size before comparing numbers; caffeine can rise sharply across the brewed-coffee sizes.
3. Separate the standard recipe from custom cream, milk, sugar, syrup, espresso, and topping choices.
4. Check the country and date because menus and recipes can change.
5. Treat approximate caffeine as planning information and ask Tim Hortons when an exact amount matters.

How does Tim Hortons caffeine compare with a daily limit?

Health Canada's caffeine guidance recommends a maximum daily intake of 400 mg for adults over 18. A Medium Original Blend at about 205 mg uses roughly half that amount. An Extra Large at about 330 mg sits much closer to the maximum before any other coffee, tea, energy drink, soda, chocolate, or medication is counted.

A population-level maximum is not a personal target. Caffeine sensitivity varies, and guidance is different for pregnancy, breastfeeding, younger people, medication use, and some health conditions. Choose a smaller size, switch later drinks to decaf, or speak with a qualified healthcare professional when your circumstances require a lower limit. Decaf can still contain some caffeine, so do not treat its name as proof of zero.

What is the bottom line on Tim Hortons caffeine and calories?

For high caffeine with very few calories, choose black Original Blend; for the lowest supported calories, choose plain Steeped Tea.A Double Double keeps the brewed coffee's caffeine but adds substantial calories, while an Iced Capp is a sweeter frozen treat rather than the strongest coffee choice. Confirm the local recipe, treat caffeine as approximate, and leave unknown values unknown.
