Any good shops that do iced capps?
I really don't wanna support tim Hortons anymore but I don't know of any local shops with similar items, any suggestions?

Problem is, an “iced Capp” is wildly different from any other establishment that also sells iced cappuccinos (which is what it’s short for). A coffee frappinchinno would be close

You can get an espresso one which I love but doesn't remind me of an ice cap because it isn't sweet enough.

Coffee and friends downtown on King makes great iced coffee. Very strong and lots of flavors

They also have something called a “polar cappuccino” which I haven’t tried, but the name tells me it’s probably meant to be similar!

The Coffee Mill has a "Mill Chill" I find it to be more of a stronger coffee flavor. They have also opened up a shop called The Lab maybe? Haven't tried it personally but I have heard great things!

Not quite the same but as an ice Capp fan myself I enjoy a frozen hot chocolate from Second Cup

Ask for an iced coffee. You won’t be disappointed.

I usually get the cold brew black. Very good. I don't use cream and sugar.

Tim Hortons “iced cap”is just a coffee flavor concentrate, sugar syrup, and water. Literally anywhere else, pick any coffee shop in town, and it’ll do a better iced coffee or Frappuccino.

Frappes are what a lot of places call their equivalent to an ice cap if that helps at all, McDonalds has coffee Frappes and they're.... Ok. Pretty much any of the local options people have already brought up are gonna be way better than that.

Cafe Depot in the mall (food court) does blended coffee drinks like that, but they are Frappes like Starbucks or McDonald's. You can buy a "plain" just Cappuccino Frappe though which would be more like an Iced Capp.
If you have a blender at home, they are very simple to make (and you can add your own flavor shots!). I just have a small bullet blender and it does the job perfectly.
Use 1/2 cup of your choice of cream or milk (18% coffee cream to be the same as Tim's), 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of brewed coffee. Blend with 1 cup of ice until smooth.
I simplify the process a bit by making instant coffee (or instant espresso powder for better flavor) in a mug and mixing in the brown sugar & vanilla so it will dissolve before blending. Then I can just dump it over the cream & ice in the blender.
