Canadians have revealed where you can get the best fast food coffee, and one spot out-brewed the others.

This new ranking includes big chains like McDonald's and Tim Hortons, along with a few unexpected places.

Narcity posted on Facebook recently and asked, "What fast food chain do you think has the best coffee in Canada?"

There are almost 300 comments, so a lot of people shared where you can get the best brew.

The best fast food coffee in Canada is from McDonald's, according to Canadians.

Almost a hundred people commented that McCafe coffee is the best, which is more than double the votes of the second-highest ranking spot.

While these fast food and quick service chains didn't come close to McDonald's, a lot of Canadians commented that Tim Hortons, Second Cup and A&W have the best coffee.

If you didn't expect Tim Hortons to be in the top three with this ranking, you're not alone!

Many commenters disagreed with those who said Tim Hortons coffee is the best you can get in Canada.

Quite a few people said that Second Cup is even better because the chain is Canadian-owned.

Also, someone commented that A&W using Pret coffee is why the brew is good.

The next most popular places to get coffee in Canada are Starbucks and 7-Eleven.

Only a few people commented that these fast food and quick service chains have the best coffee: Wendy's, Harvey's, Coffee Time, Balzac's, Circle K, and Orangestore (at Petro Canada gas stations).

Many people said none of Canada's fast food chains offer good coffee either because of the flavour, the cost or the time spent ordering and waiting for it to be served.

Narcity also recently asked what the best fast food chains in Canada are, and you might not expect the top spots!

I tried my favourite fast-food chains from Canada in Japan and the differences shocked me

Ever wonder what McDonald's has on the menu in Japan? 🍔🍟🍕

I tested out the most Canadian chips and ranked them from best to worst

It's time to settle the dispute, once and for all.
