This location is the original Keys Cafe, and it still has its retro-70s charm with countertop seating, wood paneling, and a small, cozy atmosphere. We go for the comfort food, like a wild rice omelette or blueberry pancakes. The service is generally quick with friendly staff to get you whatever you might need.

Great menu!! Great variety of items!! Daily specials and delicious fresh bakery. They've received many awards, it's a must to visit. There's so many unique options as well as classic favorites, you'll have a hard time making up your mind😊. There's 4 kinds of Eggs Benedict alone!

Key Cafe is the perfect spot for a cozy breakfast experience! The homestyle food and coffee are absolutely delightful, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They truly make you feel at home, refilling your coffee with care and serving up delicious sourdough toast paired with homemade jam.
Every visit feels like a warm hug, and the atmosphere is just as inviting as the food. I absolutely love this charming cafe and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and satisfying breakfast!

We’ve been to other Keys Café locations around town, so we decided to check out the original. We seated ourselves in the narrow bar area, which put us in pretty close quarters with the waitress.
Naturally, breakfast wouldn’t be complete without pancakes, so I ordered some with blueberries and banana. While they arrived piping hot, the pancakes were denser than expected—not as fluffy as I hoped. I also tried the Benny with ham, which came recommended by our waitress. Unfortunately, the hollandaise sauce wasn’t to my taste—it leaned more on the sour side. The bacon was a bit tough, and the coffee was just okay—not great, but not bad either.
One thing I noticed was that our waitress had a habit of handling our coffee cups by the rim instead of the handle, which felt a little too “hands-on” during our visit.
Lastly, for those with dietary preferences, they only offer regular milk—no alternative options like oat milk, which I found out when I tried to order a Chai with oat milk. Understandable, but worth noting.

One of the best breakfast spots I've found in the Twin Cities. Menu has something for everyone. Will definitely be visiting again.

I love this place. The service is fast, the staff is friendly and efficient, and the food is delicious. I highly recommend their eggs benedict. Their pastries are absolutely wonderful as well.

Love Keys. I'm from St Paul originally and now live elsewhere. I try to eat here or in falcon heights every time I'm in town. Spinach omelette is great, as is just about any other omelette. French toast very good. Good coffee, not too thick or bitter. Yum!
