Tim Hortons finally announced they are launching Timbits Cereal nationwide, but still it’s hard to spot. We found the Birthday Cake Timbits cereal early on at Costco before they made their official announcement.
Where to find them
The Chocolate Glazed Timbits cereal was a bit harder for us to find, but the good people of Instagram pointed me in the right direction. Sobeys owned stores like Safeway and Fresh Co. were the next locations to have Tim Hortons Timbits Cereal in the Birthday Cake and Chocolate Glazed flavours. Plus, on sale for $2.99 instead of $5.49 per box.
We ended up going to Safeway in Burnaby but it wasn’t even located in the cereal aisle. It was closer to the milk aisle for some reason. Usually their limited edition items go there, but there’s no indication if Tim Hortons Timbits Cereal is only here for a limited time only.
What’s inside the box
Inside the box, there are 1 x 326g packets of all the little ‘Chocolate Glazed timbits’.
Taste Test
When you pour it out of the box, there is a strong sweet chocolate aroma. As we mixed it with milk, it tasted more like cocoa puffs with the finish of sweetness, which I assume is the ‘glaze’.
Similar to the Birthday Cake Timbits Cereal, it is sweet, but the Birthday Cake Timbits Cereal is more sweet. If you’re a Tim Hortons fan, this is worth a try, but I don’t think you’ll be switching your usual cereal over to this.
Once you’re done the cereal, you see the cereal turns a light brown from the chocolate.

Final Thoughts
This is a fun item for Tim Hortons fans to see the iconic Timbits turned into cereal. Seriously, who wouldn’t want that? Canadians have been wanting to get their hands on this cereal and it’s slowly rolling out to grocery stores.
If you’re looking for fun ways to utilize the cereal, someone suggested making marshmallow square out of this, just like how you would make rice crispy squares. It would seem great to have Timbits cereal bars.
