Locally owned coffee shops are few and far between in Grandview. That’s why ASE, the city’s newest swanky coffee shop and bar, reads like a breath of fresh air.
Located off 71 highway and Highgrove Road, ASE (1800 Highgrove Rd., Grandview, MO) resides in a building with owner Nate Thomas’ lower level chiropractic office (complete with a state-of-the-art golf simulator used for golf-specific chiropractic treatments).
ASE coffee shop is spacious, about 3,500 square feet, with deep green painted walls, a high ceiling and stage for live music. Upon entering, a large marble coffee bar serving Peregrine Coffee Roasters greets customers. An espresso-based drink menu features several holiday specials, all crafted with house-made syrups.
“Peregrine Coffee is the most consistent, high-quality coffee and we share the same values,” says Thomas. “They are a small, family-owned company that I’ve known for over a decade.”
Pastries from Fox and Bull Baking Co. (another Grandview gem) are also available.
ASE plans to receive its liquor license in February and will slowly begin to build their bar program. Christian Moscoso, Director of Operations at The Monarch Bar, and Stephen Montez, The Monarch Bar’s general manager, have helped Thompson create several cocktails, like a cold brew martini and spiced peach margarita.
ASE’s grand opening takes place this Saturday, Jan. 4, 7 am to 5 pm.
Current hours are Monday through Thursday, 7 am to 3 pm, and Friday and Saturday, 7 am to 7 pm.
