What Is in a Tim Hortons Iced Capp?

The Iced Capp is a blended coffee beverage that’s smooth, frothy, and oh-so-refreshing. Its core ingredients are:

  • 100% Arabica Coffee: Tim Hortons’ signature blend, brewed strong for a rich base.
  • Cream: Typically 18% cream for a luxurious texture (or 1%/2% milk for Iced Capp Light).
  • Sugar: White sugar or syrup for sweetness.
  • Ice: Crushed to create the slushy consistency.
  • Optional Flavor Shots: Vanilla, caramel, mocha, or limited-edition flavors (e.g., Oreo, salted caramel).
  • Toppings (Iced Capp Supreme): Whipped cream, chocolate or caramel drizzle.

The Iced Capp Light uses 2% milk instead of cream, cutting calories by ~40%. The drink is blended in-store to a creamy, slushy texture, making it a dessert-like treat. Allergens: Contains milk; some flavors (e.g., vanilla) may include wheat, gluten, or tree nuts. Cross-contamination is possible due to shared equipment, so alert staff if you have allergies.

How Much Caffeine Is in a Tim Hortons Iced Capp?

Yes, the Iced Capp contains caffeine, but it’s less than a regular coffee, making it a milder pick-me-up. Caffeine content varies by size:

  • Small (10 oz): ~110 mg
  • Medium (14 oz): ~140 mg
  • Large (20 oz): ~170 mg
  • Iced Capp Light (medium): ~125 mg (slightly less due to milk ratio)

For comparison:

  • Medium Tim Hortons coffee (14 oz): ~205 mg
  • Medium Latte (14 oz): 60–120 mg
  • Red Bull (8.4 oz): ~80 mg

The caffeine comes from the Arabica coffee base. Flavored versions (e.g., mocha) may slightly alter caffeine due to additional ingredients like cocoa. Decaf Option: Some locations offer decaf Iced Capps, with minimal caffeine (~2–5 mg). If you’re caffeine-sensitive, opt for a small or Iced Capp Light, or ask for a decaf base where available.

Pro Tip: Track your daily caffeine intake (FDA recommends ≤400 mg for healthy adults) if you’re pairing your Iced Capp with other drinks like tea or soda.

Why Choose an Iced Capp?

The Iced Capp is a creamy, sweet, coffee-forward treat that’s perfect for hot days or dessert cravings. Here’s why it’s a fan favorite:

  • Taste: A balanced mix of bold coffee, sweet sugar, and creamy texture, with a refreshing icy finish.
  • Popularity: Introduced in 1999, it’s a Canadian icon, loved globally in places like the Philippines and Spain.
  • Customization:
    • Dairy: Swap cream for 2% milk, chocolate milk, or non-dairy (e.g., almond milk, where available).
    • Flavors: Add vanilla, caramel, mocha, or seasonal options (e.g., pumpkin spice, s’mores).
    • Toppings: Whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or none for a lighter sip.
    • Sweetness: Adjust sugar levels to taste.
  • Versatility: Great alone or paired with Timbits or a breakfast sandwich.

Fun Fact: The Iced Capp’s slushy texture inspired secret menu items like the Canadian Colada (pineapple-coconut Iced Capp). Ask your barista about local specials
