One of our go-to spots for breakfast, with a great variety of egg dishes and delicious pancakes. It’s a long-standing establishment and a favorite among locals.

This is my favorite place in Saint Paul, and my daughter’s too (and she’s a real picky eater!). The food is delicious, flavorful, and made from scratch. The staff is absolutely wonderful, and I truly love this place. Gratidão!

I’m lucky that this iconic spot is in my neighborhood. Best breakfast in the cities. Seat yourself, big America breakfast, and unlimited coffee (hard to come by nowadays). The service has been there for years and is quick and efficient. Highly recommend to tourists and locals. It’s a popular spot so it’s not uncommon to have a tiny wait time. They turn tables over quickly though so ask for a coffee and stand around taking in the ambiance and noise of an old fashion breakfast joint!

We've gone to Keys for a generation. The Staff and their food are consistently excellent. I've never once been disappointed. Not once. Their menu is extensive. From very traditional to occasional "fun" items. If they happen to have one of their specials running, Carrot Cake pancakes. I suggest giving them a try. Carrot Cake happens to be my favorite dessert.

Crazy week I tell ya! Had to make a quick trip down minneapolis to retrieve my friends stolen truck Wednesday! Thankfully the truck wasnt damaged but they took his work boots and tools so hopefully they are turning over a new leaf! After said we should shoot over to St. Paul and get brunch over at your guys spot there before we headed back up north! The meals were phenomenal as always and the staff were very friendly! It was nice to relax after the craziness and The Keys delivered as always!! Cant wait to check out the other locations and apologize for not making it to the last day at the Foshay!! Keep up the great work and look forward to visiting one of your locations in the near future!! Best,

The Cajun skillet was really great! Tasty Good Philly cheesesteak too. The pancakes were fluffy good texture but I think some of the batter had a little bit too much vanilla. Good service, vibe though it can be a little bit tight and squishy when its busy (since it’s an older restaurant) and yeah. Martha Krista was just fine no complaints

first time to Key's and it was great. Service, atmosphere and most important, the food (breakfast) was fantastic. Lisa the server was friendly and managed to serve the entire restaurant herself. Portions are huge and coffee was excellent. I would recommend and will definitely be back for breakfast.

Stillwater is awesome! Great consistent food, wonderful service explains why they are always busy. Too bad some people have to be so incredibly rude when restaurants are busy. Watched a crazy rude guy plop at the bar tonight thinking he should be waited on ahead of other diners that were already seated, causing a scene. Felt bad for the bartender when he acted like a 4 yr old and snapped at her and another. Almost embarrassing but they took it in stride and handled it so well! Now go try their chicken salad sandwich on cranberry wheat bread, and be kind!
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!

Keys Cafe is, in my view, a very Iconic breakfast joint. It has stood the test of time for a reason....absolutely amazing food. It's a casual cafe that has an old town classic feel. The waiter, Phillip, was what every waiter aspires to be. He was attentive but gave us our room to converse and enjoy the great grub. He was energetic but not overbearing, and he made perfect recommendations. We both got the number 4 with Italian sausage. I got 2 pancakes, and my wife got 2 french toast thanks to Phillip. Our food was brought out in a very timely manner. The american fries were delicious. Perfectly fried, so every bite was crispy. The eggs were cooked as we expected and were great to dip the potatoes in. The Italian sausage is and continues to be the GREATEST in Minnesota. Juicy, full of spicy flavor and large patties. The pancakes are fluffy and monsters in size. The French toast was sweet, paired nicely with butter and syrup. If you haven't eaten breakfast at this Minnesota legend, then what are you waiting for.

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!
