The Ground Floor Cafe

so, I like this place but, I’m giving them 3 stars because I believe they are a little expensive and one of the cooks (heavier guy) does not wear GLOVES. I have gotten biscuit and gravy and every time he prepares it without gloves I get sick. I believe everyone who prepares the food should wear gloves. Also, the same guy and another cook that is in the back, makes me feel uncomfortable, they are very flirty. It’s distasteful and unprofessional. I just want to go in there, order food without getting sick and pay. The owners are polite and nice. I hope they read this.

The Ground Floor Café is a solid breakfast and lunch joint located on the ground floor of Leadership Square. They have a daily lunch special (think meatloaf, chicken pot pie or chicken fried steak) along with typical sandwiches and soups. For breakfast, there are a lot of choices. They have an egg station that is like what you’ve seen at a buffet or hotel breakfast station. You can go with typical egg dishes, and they’ve got breakfast meats, biscuits and gravy. Basic breakfast stuff.
My first visit, I went with a breakfast burrito. For $ 4.25 you can basically pick your ingredients. I went with eggs, cheese, red peppers, onions, potatoes, and sausage. They have other ingredients as well. The tortilla is large and steamed, so it’s warm. But, I would have liked some time on a griddle to give the tortilla a little crispness. But, it was a large burrito and the eggs were cooked very well. Some places cook eggs far too long and they have no fluffiness left. Not Ground Floor. Disappointingly, the salsa served with the burrito is store bought. I’ll get some hot sauce or something next time. The burrito is large and the ingredients are distributed well throughout the burrito. It’s a solid breakfast.
Everyone I encountered was very friendly. I’ll absolutely return for breakfast and look forward to trying lunch.

I must be honest & let you know that my 5 star rating is for their oatmeal raisin cookie and their customer service. Many oatmeal raisin cookies tend to be bland but not the Ground Floor Café’s! Their cookies tend to be crunchy on the edges, softer in the middle and nicely spicy. I posted a picture of one. This is my absolute favorite oatmeal raisin cookie! Whenever I take a work deposit to the Bank of America in Leadership Square, I always check the Ground Floor Café to see if it’s my lucky day and they still have an oatmeal raisin cookie to reward me for walking over from mu office in Bricktown.
Joy is correct that the smiling gentleman who works the cash register is one of the owners. He’s a very nice man who enjoys playing poker, as does my husband, so we discuss the ups & downs of poker when I pop in. He knows I love their oatmeal raisin cookies and tells me to call 20 minutes before I come and they can bake more if they happen to be out. That’s great customer service! I don’t always know in advance when I might be over there plus it’s better for my waistline if I don’t get a cookie every single time!
They also participate in the SpotOn customer loyalty rewards program. I forgot to use my cell phone app to get my Spot for visiting today. I currently have two Spots. Fifteen Spots are good for a free muffin or cookie so thirteen more for a free oatmeal raisin cookie!

Wow, only one review for this place?! Must add mine!
I first heard about this place from my co-​worker who advised that our big boss loves the Baja Chicken Soup. They only serve it on Wednesdays and it is really pretty good!
I MUST agree with Alyx on their caesar salad because it is the best! If you’re a fan of the creamy styled caesar dressing then you might be pleasantly surprised by this version. The dressing is oil based and the spices hit you in the face. It’s super tasty and super garlic filled… You will have rancid breath for a while! The salad is always pre made though FYI. I wish it wasn’t because I like crispy lettuce. I have also had their croque monsieur which is a fancy ham and cheese on marble rye bread. It was crunchy melty oozy good, but I’m not a fan of rye bread.
The staff is super friendly and I believe the owner is the gentleman who works at the cash register. He’s always smiling which makes my day

This is one of my favorite places to escape to on my lunch hour. This café hides away in Leadership Square’s bright shiny courtyard which on sunny days melts the blues away.
Everything on the menu is reasonably priced, and they have some unique lunchtime offerings like pot pie, cannoli and assorted sandwiches that are available immediately to eat there or on the go.
Lovers of the caesar salad, you must go to here! Their house-​made dressing is so fishy, so garlicky, it will make your toes curl. Topped with fresh croutons, a generous helping of parmigiano reggiano, and the option of chicken, it’s practically perfect in every way.
