Tim Hortons' first stores offered only two products – coffee and doughnuts. Aside from its coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and doughnuts, the menu now contains several other baked goods, such as bagels. In the mid-1990s, the chain moved into specialty and premium items such as flavored cappuccino, iced cappuccino, and iced coffee.
