The food was piled high and tasted homemade. However, our waitress left little to be desired. Took half our drink order then disappeared. When she showed back up the remaining 3 people tried to order their drinks and she cut us off asking 'are you getting food?'. We'd like to order our drinks before our food. Then when all of our drinks arrived our food showed up at the same time. It took less time to get our food than coffee and water. She was short, rude and kind of ruined our experience.

This place Key Cafe & Bakery. I like it it's quiet and full of senior citizens. The food is great. The people is okay. When I go there again. I probably would because I like keys Cafe & Bakery. I like it because the the amount of food you get for your money.

Great Restaurant! Unique recipes, quality food, fairly priced & great service. I recommend the wild rice omelette or breakfast burrito. As always Tell’em OuttaTownTony sent you via Google Reviews!

Came here around 0930 on a Sunday and the place was packed. Had to put my name on the waiting list and waited about 20 minutes to get seated. The restaurant is not very big and doesn't seat that many, but the service keeps everything flowing. If you are patient, you'll get the opportunity to get some good breakfast.
French Toast - Thick, but fluffy slices with a slightly sweet exterior. Add some maple syrup and they disappear before you know it.
Biscuits and Gravy - Biscuits were crisp and similar in texture to a scone. Gravy had a good flavor and there was an appropriate of it. I could taste sage in the gravy, but it wasn't too powerful. Would get again.
Hash Browns - normal, run-of-the-mill hash browns. Crisp on top and soft on the middle.

We worked with Keys for our wedding, and they made us an absolutely gorgeous cutting cake and multiple sheet cakes with different flavors. The cake was a huge hit and disappeared pretty much immediately. Keys is a fantastic choice for weddings or any event that needs a delicious dessert!

Mother in law is disabled and had someone arranged to pick up thanksgiving dinner. That person could not make it. She called Keys to cancel and a representative there (a manager, I believe) insisted that she would drop off the meal personally. This wonderful individual proceeded to bring her a massive dinner (much beyond what she ordered) and refused extra $. An incredible act of kindness. Keys is now in rarefied air in our family. Many thanks to the great people there.

Let me just start by saying:
Keys Cafe has ruined biscuits & gravy for me — in the best possible way.
Because now nothing else compares. Nothing. I’ve peaked.
The biscuits?
Fluffy, warm, and so fresh you’d think someone’s grandma is in the back whispering prayers over the dough.
They come out steaming, soft in the center, with that perfect golden exterior that holds up to gravy like a damn champion.
And the gravy… listen.
I don’t know who’s in charge back there, but this was buttery, perfectly seasoned, full of actual sausage, and the ideal thickness — not that heavy, gluey kind that makes you rethink your order, and not watery either. Just… right. Goldilocks would weep.
The hash browns?
Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and somehow not greasy at all.
I don’t know how they pulled that off. Witchcraft? Voodoo? A deal with the breakfast gods? Don’t care. I respect it.
Overall, it was the kind of breakfast that makes you stop mid-bite just to nod at your plate

Great food. Friendly staff. Best overall place to go out of all the keys food chains. I always look forward to visit the white Bear lake restaurant. These pictures were from the Hudson location in Wisconsin. Keys has the over best food in my opinion. The 2 other pictures are at the white Bear lake location. Chef salad at WBL but not longer on the menu at the Hudson location.

Keys cafe always has great service and food. Never a disappointment when eating there. Our servers was really nice. Food is always just right. Can never go wrong with biscuits and gravy! Usually my go to breakfast. Definitely have a large menu. More than enough room for dining. Didn't have to wait.

First time in this location (4/8/25)
I've been to the other keys in Roseville, Minneapolis and Hudson Wisconsin!
Love the white bear location!
Great ambiance and awesome customer service!
We enjoyed our food here!
My friend had a Philly cheese steak and I had a patty melt for lunch!
We would come here again in the future!

Went on Saturday morning and didn’t wait long at all. I got the traditional eggs Benedict and the keys famous cinnamon French toast. Both were absolutely 🔥🔥 usually go to Roseville location but this one was so cute & the server Laura was really sweet!

Love keys! I know they were really short staffed while we were there, but I honestly didn't notice because everything was still done in a timely, friendly manner. I got gluten free pecan pancakes which were DELICIOUS! I do have Celiac disease and have never gotten sick from eating here. Highly recommend for gluten free or regular diet folks eating in White Bear!

We had the signature Key's Cake served to our guest during our wedding with past July. It was so good. The guests loved it. Celine was so nice and easy to work with. Key's Cake will continue to be a special dessert for our family.
