A coffeeshop on every corner is a thing in some neighborhoods of larger cities. But is it Detroit’s turn?

Can a one-block area — Capitol Park in downtown Detroit — support three local coffeeshops?

It looks like we’re about to find out. Let’s break down the options that are mere feet from each other.

[![Urban Bean](https://storage.ghost.io/c/47/f5/47f528d4-7214-4519-b2b2-26249e48460d/content/images/wordpress/2017/10/IMG_9941.jpg)](https://storage.ghost.io/c/47/f5/47f528d4-7214-4519-b2b2-26249e48460d/content/images/wordpress/2017/10/IMG%5F9941.jpg?ref=dailydetroit.com)

First, there’s Urban Bean. They’ve been there the longest in a small, neat mid-centuryish modern building on the corner of Griswold and Grand River. They first opened in 2008 and then after a hiatus re-opened in 2013.

Second, there’s Dessert Oasis. They have a large space down Griswold, just a few storefronts down. They also have a suburban location in Rochester.

[![Cannelle Coffee & Pastries](https://storage.ghost.io/c/47/f5/47f528d4-7214-4519-b2b2-26249e48460d/content/images/wordpress/2017/10/IMG_9942-1024x768.jpg)](https://storage.ghost.io/c/47/f5/47f528d4-7214-4519-b2b2-26249e48460d/content/images/wordpress/2017/10/IMG%5F9942.jpg?ref=dailydetroit.com)

And then, across the street from Urban Bean is the newest entrant, opening in 2018, Cannelle Coffee & Pastries. They also have a Birmingham location. They may very well have a deep bench when it comes to baked goods, from experience from the Birmingham version of their place.

If you want to throw in additional options, **[the new Starbucks Reserve](http://www.dailydetroit.com/2017/10/09/pics-peek-inside-new-starbucks-reserve-westin-book-cadillac-hotel/)** is literally on the next block over, on the other side of the Book Cadillac Hotel that abuts Capitol Park.

Avalon’s new shop serves coffee too, again, just a short block over at Woodward and State. So that’s five within a very short walking distance.

That’s *a lot* of coffee. But maybe with the addition of new residences nearby (the Farwell is under renovation and the 28 Grand micro-lofts are coming together, for starters — **[as well as significant investment and a redesign to the park coming itself](http://www.dailydetroit.com/2017/09/12/look-changes-coming-detroits-capitol-park/)**) they can support it?

Or are the grounds already spent?
