    I tried this place for the first time and it was a cool spot. The women who took my order and served me both seemed great. They were patient and kind. The ambiance is very welcoming and brings in a lot of natural light. I had a special brown sugar coffee which was quite yummy. I would definitely return.

    Savory and Sweet options. So many it is hard to choose. Some are large and fun to share.

    Great ambience for a casual relaxing espresso with delicious savory or sweet pairings. Went twice already for a late breakfast and plan to go every time we come to visit FSU. Yum!

    A Ronald Reagan quote greats you at the counter at Ground Ops. If that sounds strange or uncomfortable to you this might not be your coffee shop. We ordered two drinks and a bunch of pastries to try. We got a few of the savory pastries and we both thought they could have used being heated up. Ground Ops is definitely a sweet coffee kind of joint. I went with the "Roger That" which has a lavender and honey base. Our biggest issue with the shop was how long it took to get our drinks. There weren't that many people waiting for drinks and I waited around 20 minutes for a lukewarm latte.

    It was delicious! Highly recommend the iced paratrooper and the sausage egg and cheese roll

    The Ground Ops Roastery and Bakehouse is a family-owned establishment in Tallahassee, Florida. THey opened about 2 1/2 years ago and we have visited several time for coffee and the sweet and savory rolls. All our visits have been tied to breakfast. This is a local place, and I always recommend sampling the local places because they offer options you cannot get in other locations since they don't have any (yet). There is ample parking outside, even on a busy Saturday. Be forewarned, the speed bumps in the parking lot are NOT forgiving. You.must.slow.down to avoid the underside of your car making that big thud when you were going a little too fast. There is outdoor and indoor seating and plenty of it each time we visited. Once the humidity leaves Tallahassee in late fall, it'll be nice to sit outside and enjoy some fresh air. The indoor decor has the feel of a minimalist farmhouse. There is plenty of seating from window/bar seating to tables and sofas and easy chairs. You'll feel you're in a comfortable cafe environment. The bakery case greets you as you enter and try to narrow your choice to just one roll or hello cake. The hello cakes, which is sort of a buttercake that was named for the first hello from the owner to his now wife. Hello cakes are mini butter cakes offered in options including lemon blueberry, triple chocolate, etc. The sweet rolls, include cinnamon and maple pecan, etc. The savory rolls include sausage and egg, smoked meats, spinach feta, and bacon and egg. Don't set your sights on one particular flavor I mentioned. The bakery options seem to change every couple of days. So the selection on your visit may be different than what we purchased. The bakehouse also offers bars and squares, pies, cakes, as well as cookies. We sampled the chicken and waffles sweet roll drizzled with a glaze topping and the bacon, cheese and egg savory roll. The rolls are tall and dense. Both tasted great and are very filling. However, I felt as though they are a little dry. You definitely want to order coffee or juice to help wash it down! The coffee scent will draw you in and the staff can make just about any coffee beverage. The bakehouse definitely offers a wide variety over time and we are constantly motivated to return. We need to pick up some dessert next time!

    Great coffee and baked goods! Greeted by a friendly smile and an offer to heat up the Triple Chocolate Hello Cake. The place is designed for you to find a seat and relax and enjoy.

    The Ambiance is inviting and relaxing. We enjoyed a large Americano which was made to perfection. The bakery items looked delicious but we didn't try them. Plenty of seating with counter, tables and couches. Nice outdoor area as well. We would definitely be back.

    I like the cakes and I like the coffee, but be careful going on a weekend. You could get kicked out of your spot in the middle of a book for a random band and offered a seat IN THE FULL SUN as recompense. =_= as if being pale and not wanting to be in the sun without sunscreen is an issue. Full disclosure, I was offered something on the house, but given I had a cake and a coffee next to me, I'm not sure what that is supposed to do. Probably going to be mindful when I come from now on to avoid this situation. I arrived at 9am and was asked to move at 10:30am with no warning prior. Also, limited options for sugar free people. I can have it, but I have a few friends I can't bring due to their diets without sticking to the plain sugar free vanilla. I've also arrived when things are sold out, which isn't an issue and I was offered a free plain cake once upon a time when they didn't have the chocolate so they're pretty good usually about customer service. Just being asked to move in the middle of reading really rubbed me the wrong way. I now don't know if I'm safe to just stay and read now or not without being told to move.

    Egg and Cheese Savory Roll

    This guy can bake. The narrow parking lot is an utter disaster, but it may be worth braving from time to time for the baked goods. Thankfully, many of us will be able to walk to this location from their offices and houses. Note that the savory egg and cheese roll is topped with what appears to be a corn syrup glaze(?) Sweet, not savory, but dang good. The layers are excellent. I would order it again. The nitro cold brew is very good. A little stronger and more bitter than Lucky Goat. Personable baristas and great service. A welcome addition to midtown!

    Bacon eggs and cheese roll
    Virginia S.

    Ground Ops is a wonderful and cozy little cafe. My husband and I ordered both sweet and savory rolls. My favorite by far is their original cinnamon roll. It's sweet, chewy with the perfect amount of glaze. The Hello cake was buttery and vanilla-y. We shared a bacon egg and cheese roll which was perfectly balanced between the eggs and dough. The coffee was delicious! They have a wide variety of flavored syrups and good sized cups. We will definitely be back for more. Congratulations to Chris and his family for creating such a great place.

The menu includes ice-cream, coffee, baked goods and breakfast sandwiches. They also sell merch. I had a cappuccino ($4.85) and a chocolate croissant ($4.75). The coffee was pretty good. The croissant was ok. Honestly, for the price point, I prefer Lucky Goat, but this is a decent option if you are in the vicinity and don't want to go to the Power Plant at Cascades.

Most of the drinks here are Mythologically themed- Aphrodite, Apollo, Hercules, you get the point. I tried the Persephone, which was a pomegranate flavored coffee. Super on par for Greek Mythology, if you know you know. Yes, getting a pomegranate coffee was extremely risky, but it was so intriguing I had to try it out. And let me say, it was probably as good as a pomegranate coffee could turn out. You could definitely taste it but it wasn't so overpowering or artificial tasting. I don't think I'd try it again as I'd rather just have a plain coffee but I was fairly impressed. There's not a ton of seating in here but could be a very peaceful place to study and do work. Plus a cute gated & shaded courtyard right outside the shop.

The coffee had very good reviews so I thought I'd give it a try. The menu item names are very creative. Five stars for that. So far loved the vibe. And as far as customer service goes, they were very friendly! I really wanted to try their Rosemary Lavender but sadly they were out of this flavor. I opted for cardamom with oat milk. After the first sip.. I couldn't quite get the cardamom taste. Not with the second, third or fourth. It fell a bit too short for me. Cardamom has a very distinct taste and it was lost in the milk. Just tasted like a regular latte. I had to have more than 12oz (looks like this is their only size) so I also got the cold brew.. but the batch was not as strong as I would prefer. I think it can be better. I'm sadly reminded of the old Keurig days when my coffee would come out tasting extremely diluted but I would still drink to because it was quick and easy. Cold brew is a slow, beautiful and delicate process. This drink did not reflect that awesome cold brew experience. I expect the cold brew from a coffee place to taste much better than what I make at home. No for me Ology. Wish you guys better days though!
