A Little Nostalgia Between Two Slices: Discover the Sandwiches at Keys Cafe

A Little Nostalgia Between Two Slices: Discover the Sandwiches at Keys Cafe

A Bite of Childhood, Upgraded

Do you ever get flashbacks to being a kid—running around outside for hours, only to come in starving and find your mom making you a sandwich for lunch? There was something magical about it. Simple. Comforting. Perfect.

At Keys Cafe, we believe nothing still hits quite like a great sandwich after a busy morning. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch or settling in for dinner, our menu is stacked with options that feel familiar, satisfying, and just a little special. From timeless classics to bold signatures, Keys has the sandwich you’re craving.

The Classics That Never Go Out of Style

Nearly every Keys Cafe location offers those beloved, no-frills sandwiches that instantly take you back in time. You might see them listed as “Mom’s Classic Sandwiches” or “Old Favorites, but no matter the name, the feeling is the same.

Think creamy tuna salad, a perfectly crisp BLT, soft bread that hugs every bite—these are the sandwiches that taste like childhood lunches, only better. One bite and suddenly you’re back at the kitchen table, without a care in the world.

Signature Sandwiches with a Little Spark

Feeling adventurous? Each Keys Cafe also serves up signature sandwiches designed to wake up your taste buds and keep things exciting.

At our Roseville and White Bear Lake locations, you’ll find Attila the Hunn—a tribute to the legendary founder of Keys Cafe. Spicy sausage brings the heat, while melted provolone and rich marinara cool things down into a perfectly balanced bite.

Over at St. Paul Raymond, the Blackened Salmon Sandwich steals the spotlight. Fresh salmon, tomato, onion, and lettuce are topped with a bold chipotle lime crema that delivers just the right kick. Want to mellow it out? Add Swiss cheese or avocado for an extra layer of creamy goodness.

Classics… With a Twist

Sometimes you want comfort food that also warms you from the inside out—and we’ve got you covered. Many Keys locations offer hot sandwich favorites like the Rachel or Reuben, piled high with Keys homemade roasted turkey or savory corned beef.

And for our vegetarian and vegan guests—don’t worry, we didn’t forget about you. Most locations feature a grilled veggie sandwich loaded with mouthwatering, perfectly grilled vegetables. Even non-vegetarians love this one, and you can always add cheese or grilled chicken if you’re looking for a little extra protein.
