About The Pelican Coffee House
The Pelican Coffee House is a locally owned café on South Sandusky Avenue in downtown Bucyrus. It fills a storefront that once held Baumoel's Store and a Newberry's five-and-dime, and it shares the building with The Amish Vault furniture store and Graceful Gifts, so there is something to browse while your drink is made.
Espresso comes by the double or triple shot or blended as a frozen Frappy, with a long list of house flavors such as Buckeye, Grasshopper, Pumpkin Pie, Peanut Butter & Banana and White Toffee, and unsweetened almond milk on hand. There are also hot teas from Earl Grey to Darjeeling, chai, Italian sodas with fruit bubbles, smoothies, frozen hot chocolate and orange-juice coolers like the Pelican Twist.
Breakfast is an egg, bacon and cheese sandwich, bagels, muffins and cinnamon rolls. At lunch the counter makes deli sandwiches on bread or croissant, soup or mac and cheese by the cup or bowl, and hot chicken or barbecue pork combos. Gluten-free bagels, brownies and cookies are on the menu too. The owners describe it as a spot for catching up, studying or a business meeting.
Opening at 6:30 a.m. on weekdays makes it an easy first stop on a Crawford County day. Fill a travel cup here before heading out to Abundantly Blessed Farm, a small lavender farm in the Bucyrus area with a farm stand of handmade lavender goods.
