Tim Hortons Boston Cream Donut
The Tim Hortons Boston Cream Donut is a soft yeast donut filled with vanilla custard and topped with chocolate fondant. It is the top seller in most stores, and it is usually the first donut people picture when they think of the Tims case. The filling and the topping do all the work.
One donut costs $1.59 to $1.99 in Canada and carries 240 calories. That puts it at the light end of the case for a filled donut. The Honey Dip and the Canadian Maple, both plain rings with a dip, sit at 250 calories each, and the Apple Fritter runs to 330. Every number on this page comes from the official Tim Hortons nutrition and allergen guides, Canadian editions, July 2026.

Allergens
The official allergen guide lists the Boston Cream Donut as Contains: Wheat & Gluten, Milk and Sulphites. It May Contain: Egg, Soy and Tree Nuts. May Contain means the item is not part of the standard build but can be picked up from shared bakery equipment, and every donut in the case is handled the same way. If you order around an allergy, check the item on our Allergens page and ask the staff before you order.
How it compares
Three neighbours from the same case, all at the same price:
| Donut | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Honey Dip Donut | 250 | $1.59 to $1.99 |
| Canadian Maple Donut | 250 | $1.59 to $1.99 |
| Apple Fritter | 330 | $1.59 to $1.99 |
The Boston Cream is the lightest of the four, even though it is the only filled donut in the set. The two dips carry no filling at all and still land 10 calories higher, and the fritter adds 90 calories on top. All four sit on the Donuts & Timbits hub with the rest of the donuts and Timbits.
FAQs
A single donut costs $1.59 to $1.99 at most Canadian stores, and the Boston Cream Donut is priced inside that same band. Each store sets its own price, so your donut can sit at either end of the band depending on the location. Prices are before tax.
It depends on the donut. The Boston Cream has 240 calories in the official guide. The Honey Dip and the Canadian Maple have 250 each, and the Apple Fritter has 330, so a filled donut is not automatically the heavy one in the case. Every donut on the menu has its own row in the guide, and the counts on this page come straight from it.
No. The Boston Cream contains milk, so it is not vegan. Egg is also listed as a may contain on the same guide row, which means traces are possible from shared bakery equipment.
No. The Boston Cream contains wheat and gluten, and so does every donut in the official guide, all 36 of them. There is no gluten free donut at Tim Hortons, and this one is not vegan either, because it contains milk. Our Gluten-Free page lists the menu items that do carry no wheat or gluten mark.
For the Boston Cream, no, not as an ingredient. The official allergen guide does not list egg under Contains for this donut. Egg sits in the May Contain column, so it is not part of the standard build, but traces can show up from shared equipment. Anyone with an egg allergy should treat that as a risk and ask in store.
