We've had Tim Horton's in Rhode Island for a while now.

My verdict:

Coffee - better than DD (DD coffee has gone downhill in recent years, IMHO)
Donuts/Munchkins - worse than DD
Breakfast Sandwiches - much better than DD
Hash browns - worse than DD

Tiebreaker: TH is, on the whole (heh heh), much cheaper than DD
