Asulon Collective, a specialty coffee house which brands itself on craft coffee and a commitment to meaningful connection, will open its first Nashville location in the Wedgewood-Houston/Fairgrounds area. The new coffee shop will be located between Geodis Park and the Fairgrounds Raceway at Park Commons. Asulon Collective will commemorate the opening with a weeklong grand opening celebration starting September 21 through September 26 at its new location located at 445 Benton Avenue.
Asulon Collective began as a single coffee cart and has grown into a specialty coffee and catering business serving events throughout Nashville and Middle Tennessee. Built around the mission of “Cultivating Connection through Craft Coffee,” Asulon views coffee as more than a beverage; it is a vehicle for conversation, community, and belonging. The new Fairgrounds/Wedgewood-Houston coffee house is designed to carry that mission into a permanent community-focused gathering spot. The coffee house will offer third-wave specialty coffee, house blend, single-origin, and decaf coffee, as well as homemade small-batch specialty syrups, community pop-ups, and more.
To celebrate the opening, Asulon Collective will host a week of community collaborations, inviting local small businesses, makers and more into the coffee house for a series of pop-ups and events. The week will spotlight the people and businesses that make Nashville’s creative community unique. More information on the pop-up schedule can be found below:
