When I have been there I think we hit it off but I'm a big dumb idiot so I didn't ask her out then and there. I do have her work email address, but I really don't know how appropriate/inappropriate it would be to ask her to lunch through that. It seems really impersonal and weird ...
If it feels impersonal and weird then it almost always is. Find an excuse to get on site and strike up some conversation.

but I can't think of another solution besides like asking her (and my) boss for her cell phone number, which seems equally questionable. Any advice?
Yeah, don't do what you just suggested. If you want her number step up to the plate and try your luck, but don't tip-toe around behind her back trying to get it through really awkward methods.
