214 E 1st Street is situated directly on Hermann’s main drag, and this property offers a rare opportunity to purchase an impeccable building along with the fully operational Stomp’n Grounds Espresso Bar and Half Corked Inn guest suites, all in the heart of one of Missouri’s most visited and admired communities. Commonly crowned as “Missouri’s Most Beautiful Town,” 214 E 1st Street sits in the center of Hermann’s primary commercial corridor, steps from wineries, breweries,...read more restaurants, shops, trolley service, and the Amtrak station. The 3-story, 4,800 sq ft building is exceptionally well maintained, with updated mechanical systems, and modernized interiors, while still cherishing the historic quality and character of this impressive property.

The ground floor is home to Stomp’n Grounds Espresso Bar, an anchor of Hermann and a fully functioning café business included in the sale. The café interior is clean, modern, and thoughtfully laid out, featuring quality in everything from the newer LaMarzocco espresso machine, Simonelli espresso grinders, on-site coffee roaster, copper counters, stainless commercial-grade kitchen equipment, and welcoming seating areas, and a beautiful patio that make for a great customer experience and efficient investment.
