In honor of his grand opening, Steve from Capital Cup Coffee is selling all specialty coffee drinks for just a buck today, until 5pm tonight. Espresso, cappuccino, mocha - whatever you like is just a buck. All drinks are made with locally roasted Crimson Cup Coffee.

Capital Cup Coffee is in the Shops on Capital Square, and is located on the South end, close to Columbus Commons. The former flower shop has been tastefully transformed into a downtown coffee spot, it's big windows offering a nice view of the Commons.

God, I don't like to rag on new businesses by any means but how many coffee shops do we need down there? How about some creativity.

There meaning the Commons? Considering the foot traffic in that area, two coffee shops (Java Jan and Capital Cup Coffee) isn't what I would call saturation. Market 65 and Mojo Lounge offer locally roasted Stauf's in the morning and throughout the day, but offer way more than just coffee. And of course the Sheraton on Capital Square has a Starbucks kiosk, but all hotels that size have similar setups for their guests.

There meaning downtown? Regardless of where I might be downtown, I've never felt that it is saturated with coffee shops, and I am thankful for Starbucks, Flaxella, Tim Horton's or wherever else I may end up. I love coffee, so maybe I have a different relationship with with coffee shops than you. Even though I love coffee, I, and many other people, will only walk so far for it. After all, we only have so much time in the day. :)

Creativity? Coffee and foot rubs? Coffee and dry cleaning? Coffee and crepes? What kind of ideas are you proposing, with or without coffee? Before Java Jan, someone operated a coffee kiosk in 175 On The Park for many years, so coffee in that building is nothing new to those of us that work in that area.

Capital Cup serves Crimson Cup coffee, also locally roasted.

I think that coffee shops in urban areas are hyper local, and your regular customers are going to come from within a block's radius. With as many office buildings as there are in that area, there can probably be support for at least one per tower as far as the daytime workweek coffee business goes.

I agree with PZ that MoJoe Lounge is a lot more than that though, with evening and weekend hours, a full menu offering breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and alcohol for happy hour, drinks and special events, it's more of a restaurant that a coffee shop. Which is naturally going to make them more of a destination.
