Canada's iconic coffee shop has emerged as the victor in an international doughnut war in New York.

Tim Hortons is set to take over a dozen Dunkin' Donuts outlets in the Big Apple on Monday.

The American chain's New York franchises have long been plagued by store closures, lawsuits and allegations of unsanitary conditions and doughnut-munching mice.

This made room for what the New York Daily News dubbed the "caloric colossus from Canada" to stake a claim in a market already brimming with coffee shops.
