Coffee Express in Port Clinton is located on a corner, next to Veterans Park and opposite the post office.

The food is a selection of both savory and sweet quick bites, such as Turkey Bagels and Cranberry Muffins, and of course, Buckeyes!

The popularity of Coffee Express means there could be a long line, but service is quick, efficient, and friendly, so the wait won’t be too long.
