Reviews of Keys Cafe & Bakery (Coffee Shop)

Deb Schneider

So busy & due to servers not being there on time (Sunday 8:30am) we had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated even though there were open tables. Worth the wait as the food was very good as was the coffee & the waitress we had (I wish I could remember her name) was courteous & attentive. Bakery is awesome!!

meliastokes

Very nice portion sizes for a good price. The staff was very nice and attentive.

Kurt Schultz

Great food.

Steve Mueller

I was a bit nervous after reading the other reviews. The service was very prompt and courteous. The breakfast was very fast, hot, and tasted great! I would recommend if you’re looking for good home cooking.

Michael Schafer

Fast service, pleasant diner atmosphere, reasonable prices.

Charlene S

YUM!!! Great service, family owned and operated, local diners. I've never been disappointed with a meal at Key's Cafe! ☮️❤️

Troy Hackney

The service here is friendly and though I haven't eaten here much the patty melt was AWESOME and cooked exactly how I ordered it. The fries were crispy and flavorful, though the pickle was a little weak, but that's no problem given how good the meal was. I'll definitely be back!

Brad Schultz

The salmon was cooked perfectly I would not recommend getting the salmon sandwich however. Salmon between two white buns lettuce and tomato, it's just not that great. The cake I bought was tasty but way too dense and too much frosting, I got cow decorations and told them to go crazy with the cows I got three cute cows just kinda sitting on top of the cake, wish it was a little more interactive but the girlfriend loved the cows so no complaints from her except the super dense and crazy richness of the cake.

Jackie Boese

Good food and good portions

Coya Night Pipe

Great food. Great service.

Dawn Krom

Only had drinks, but very friendly, comfortable place. Food being served looked delicious and the bakery counter delightful!

scott schuman

Great food and service. Was a bit more money than I like.

Amy Tisch

This is the worst Keys experience we have ever had here in Hudson. We have been to other Keys locations in Minnesota and they have never disappointed. I ordered the loon omelette with no turkey that comes with multigrain toast and jelly. The omelette was fine but they forgot the toast and jelly. My fiance ordered biscuits and gravy and the biscuits were like rocks and the gravy was watery with some meat chunks. The waiter TraValle never came back with my toast and jelly. Finally came to our table when we were done and ready to leave and asked if we wanted a refill. Told him we were done and he forgot to bring out my toast. He offered I told him it was too late I was done. Then we went to cashier and l complained and she offered me to take my toast to go. I told her no because why would I want toast to go (it would be aweful later). Then they decided to take 60 cents off our bill for the toast. (On the bill it says Bad service -0.60). What a joke. Then we watch TraValle stand behind counter and laugh saying I only forgot to bring her toast out. How incredibly rude!!! I can not believe management let's this happen!!

Heather Thibodeau

Me and my friend ate there last night had a few nats circle us, I killed two. Seriously why do you have nats in the winter. The service was ok its not a fabulous place to eat.

Bob Fleck

I have been to two Keys now and have NOT been disappointed with the food or service yet. Staff is awesome!

Jeff Ellis

Great food, large portions and a very friendly place to enjoy a great breakfast.

Jessica Bratsch

Excellent service, great food, pleasant family friendly atmosphere! Hidden gem!

Terri OFlanagan

Keys Cafe in Hudson, we came in today 12/21/18 with our son and brother, straight from the Mpls bus station, he is returning from Army basic training for the holidays. We live in Hudson and love your restaurant so of course this was the obvious place for his first non military meal. This soldier can eat!! When it came time for our bill we were told he would not be charged and he was personally thanked by management and staff for his service. It is through tears that I write this sincere appreciation for such a beautiful a and appreciated gesture! Thank you Keys Cafe and Merry Christmas to you all. A very proud Mom and sister of Pvt Zayhne OFlanagan US Army

First of all, everything has to be clean. Fork, knife and plates look really used. The place itself is very dirty, with in a lot of a dust and insects. The waiter, didn't had a smile and put her hand into the dish. The cloth on a waiter was very dirty. Overall experience was very horrible, hardly coming back later on. How we can talk about food, when the restaurant itself is dirty, I can not imagine what is going on in a kitchen.

Mary Lynne Lawrence

Great service and amazing food!! The wild rice soup is the best. Better than my homemade......i had to own it!

Will Hutch

Great food and good service, try the baked goods

Christy Lamoreaux

I've been to different Keys restaurants throughout the Twin Cities and have always enjoyed their food. Tonight, different story. I ordered the fish and chips and I would have had a better fish meal at McDonald's. Sad. Plus my friend had soup that was barely warm and had a weird after taste. It just did not seem like the food was up to snuff in my opinion. Sorry Keys, I'll go to other locations in the future-just not this locale.

Bob Melson

Keys is always GREAT. Food excellent, service excellent, prices reasonable for quality and quantity.

Megan C.

Good food, good service, loved the gluten free buttermilk pancake.

Tekeshia Lewis

Food is great, nice portion sizes, and the staff are sweet

rajjn1319

Prompt service. Excellent food. Great price. Easy access. Don't let the mini-mall location fool you into not going here. You'll be glad you went.

Randy Russell

Great food even better service

Rosemary Schmidt

Great Friday Fish and Carmel Apple pie

Dan Dittman

Amazing omelette breakfast! !

Elaine Little

I ordered a Philly cheese bowl received a smushed sandwich instead which was a 1/4,of the box. So don't expect to get much. I drive back to get the bowl. Which in It runs around $10and it had even less meat and was on mashed potatoes. They did take the sandwich back and I got the bowl and she gave me a dessert and I chose a lemon bar which was still frozen. I wish I had returned tge food. I normally get a refund after a place messes up. Needless to say I didn't eat it. My coworker ate his and became sick from the food.

Joe Masco

Super fast service. Good biscuits and gravy for the weeken special. Food is above average for sure.

Chester McGill Jr

Food was good and service was Great

lisalee darlow

Love the turkey dinner, it's enough for two meals

Maxine Wyley

Awesome home cooked meal and atmosphere.

Sheena Curry

A go-to for brunch. They have a lot if traditional breakfast favorites but with a twist. If you like baked goods, their caramel rolls are out of this world! You'll likely wait a bit for a table, especially if you are with a large party and are visiting on the weekend, but it is worth the wait.

Ashanti Dixon

The food was good, especially the pancakes. The service left something to be desired & the staff doesn't wear uniforms so it was hard to tell who was who. Nice atmosphere but poor seating. Need to upgrade there space.

Mary Loritz

It was excellent as usual!

siren

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, doesn't matter what it is Keys is always wonderful. It is pretty much impossible to leave hungry or disappointed, if you do, it is your own fault. Home cooked food you would have to have grandma cook if you wanted better. Great staff, great service, cannot say enough nice thing about them. Have been to multiple locations, all of them fabulous.

Jeff Molter

Great food and service!

David Simmons

They have good food. Can get crowded

Ruby Moon

Decent food. A little over priced.

Terri Walczak

Very good food. Nice daily specials. Ok prices

Thomas Gibbons

Typical keys awesomeness... I absolutely love this restaurant chain.. it never disappoints..

Cristie Blodgett

I've been enjoying Keys since it opened in town. They have homemade foods at a reasonable price as well as a mini bakery and catering. Food is good, atmosphere is comfortable, staff are friendly, but service can be hit or miss at times. They have free WiFi and outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Overall a popular place to meet for some good food with friends or the family.

Rick Mahn

Good food, servers, and atmosphere. My only criticism is their coffee. Extremely weak and flavorless. Keys: Upgrade your coffee and I'll give that 5th star.

Gregory H.

Great food. Our server, Carlos, is the greatest! Tell him I said that... I had a breakfast scramble that was fantastic. The jam is made in house, as are the baked goods. If they have it, try the rhubarb sour cream cake. It is magical!

Kasey H

Really great memories with my aunt here. Nice comfort food at good prices.

Pa Lee

Oh mind! The french toast and pancakes were giants and great meals

Kurt Storsved

Wonderful food.

Pat Nevins

great food, good server

Terry Cochran

Busy place but well worth the wait because of the good food and great service!

Jerry Hiebert

Good food and excellent service

Charles Brown

Excellent breakfast all day long. I've been eating at Barbara Hunn's Key's Restaurants for 35 years and have never been disappointed!

Pete Bremer

Great comfort food, lots of choices.

Claude Straley

Great food selections, service, and portions. You won't leave hungry!!

Matthew Hanthorn

Chilli was cold and side of avocado was about 1/4 cup for $2.

Jeff Berens

I love Keys, great food and service. My favorite is the Omelettes and french toast.

Lisa Swast

Homestyle with a twist. Yummy coffee, cozy atmosphere and tasty food!

Cassandra Bakken

Food was really good, dessert even better. Prices were good too

Erin Valtinson

GREAT breakfast and amazing staff! You know it's good when it's packed!

Dwight Shrute

Good food and very friendly people. The toast is a bit large and was burnt other than that it was great!

Kim Wagenbach

Quesadilla was to thick would like meat chopped smaller and not so much. Bigger in not always better. Not a lot of flavor either. The rest of food was good, and great service as usual.

Alexis Berg-janc

I was Dropping a friend off for an appointment nearby and wandered in to this place only to find a display case filled with Cupcakes and Deserts attached to a Bar Serving Twisted Bloody and Mimosas. Heaven on Earth for this Chick

Barbara Vander Wyst

The best place to get homestyle food. The food is always excellent and the service is fantastic! The baked goods are heavenly, a person has to save room for dessert.

Derek Kuesel

The food is delicious and the staff are great. Try and avoid the weekend brunch time or you will have to wait about 15 - 20 minutes for a table.

Shelly Fern

Omelette was good, hash browns were awful, a small portion of pre cooked shredded potatoes that were fried thus mushy. Service was OK, hard to get coffee or water refills.

Kelsie Little

Super friendly, clean & fast. It was delicious!

James Lafans

Great food and nice atmosphere

Steven Reed

Good food.

Katie Wildenauer

Friendly staff proved fast service. Only issue is that my Italian hash had charred bits and had hardly any Italian sausage.

Persephodite Asya Rogue

Love this place... Great food, awesome service!

panav kalra

I went there with my sister, wife, 2 kids and 3 nephews. Finding street parking was little tough however the food and ambiance was incredibly awesome. Server was very cautious and generous and served our food like we expected. Would love to go there anytime i am craving for a nice rich breakfast

Matt Simmons

Excellent place for anytime of the day.

Heidi Engen

The turkey with mashed potatoes aand gravy is A+.

Rome Cagle

I am not sure why people have complained so much about the wait. I just had breakfast at Keys this morning. I was greeted by a very nice hostess and shortly thereafter by our waitress. The food was amazing! It only took 20 minutes and the place was packed. The eggs were like velvet and the steak was extremely flavorful and juicy. I have found my new go to breakfast place!

Tori K

I love Keys Cafe! The food is always delicious and very reasonably priced. Can't complain much about what you get. I love this location because it is a little more spacious than the others!

Connie Blomquist

Food is wonderful. Servers were pleasant. Not as clean as it could be. Disappointed our server( might've been manager) was wearing flip flops. Definitely not up to restaurant/kitchen code.

Rini W

Excellent service. Excellent fresh prepared food! Try the Loon omelette-unusual and delicious.

Curtis Danielson

Had the Cajun skillet and it tasted great and portion was huge. Excellent service. Good value.

SEYMOUR Love

Love keys. My main men, Carlos & Stu are awesome

Ali Rainey

It was Memorial Day, it was Family, it was fun. Good service, good food, My Son and Grandaughter were with me. We had great conversation in a relaxing environment with just the right amount of service. Food was served hot and done to perfection. The spinach in my omelet was whole leaf not crushed tidbits. The Feta cheese pieces were large enough to actually add flavor. I’m a hot coffee drinker so coffee was a miss for me. I’m definitely going back now we’ve met.

Tom Motzel

You can go to any of the Key's Bakeries around the twin cities and be guaranteed a great experience.

Eswar Lakshminarayanan

They have couple of vegetarian options in their menu.

John Halbach

Nice place, great food, good service, even though it was very busy.

Barry Urbas

Food is awesome

Jayce Pasko

Great place, great food, great portion sizes, great service! We like all the Keys locations except the original in downtown St. Paul.

Todd Paulson

Happy service great food large portions their price

Edna Hill

The special eggs Benedict with a thick slice of turkey ham was delicious.

Hunter Olson

Great family owned place

Shane Shriver

Tater tots with mustered and great GF options

Nick Charles

Great food! Fast service! Plus bloody Mary's to top it off.

Aaron Berg

Great lunch and breakfast. Sooooo homemade

Miss Moriah

Absolutely love this location.. the owner is amazing and beautiful and she knows how to run this location. I come here all the time with my boss Jeff

Nathan Walhovd

Great homestyle food, great menu selection. No wait to be seated (you seat yourself), and about average wait time for food (or slightly fast). The portions are quite generous, but the food is slightly more expensive than other similar places I've been to. It seemed petty to remove a star just for that, though, when I have no other complaints. An excellent place to eat at; highly recommended.

Samantha Price

Bacon was undercooked, American fries tasted rotten, eggs had no salt or pepper, pancakes and coffee were good. Definitely not worth the price. This place is filthy. The bottom of the bakery case was so gross. There were flies bothering me while eating, and my menu was sticky and had literal dirt on it. I've eaten at other Keys and they are so much better.

Robin Diercks

Good food, service ok!

Todd Splettstoeszer

Not like the orginal, but not bad

David Bailey

We have eaten at and enjoyed other Keys Cafe location but this was our first time in Hudson. The food took forever to get, the french fries tasted old (either the potato or the oil they were fried in was not fresh) which were in edible and the Poppyseed salad dressing was rancid. It was less then an excellent experience and we would not go back to this location.

Sarah Oliver

Food is great, services is quick and prices are decent. Great spot for a breakfast meeting.

Baker Swenson

Great portion sizes at a great price. Fast and friendly service. Very tasty food!

Denny Stallman

Great food and friendly staff

Bill Allen

Fantastic food and one of the best house bleu cheese dressings I've ever had! Service speed can be slow but the servers are always friendly. Decent tap selection and they usually have 3 ciders available between tap and cans which I always appreciate. If you want a item recommendation I always go for the Keys Burger Deluxe with wedge fries and A LOT of blue cheese dressing on the side!

Raven Flores

Food is OK. Same portions compared to Woodbury location. Both locations have not so nice staff.

Kevin Baby

Their food is meh. Went there twice tried different things. Their loaded fries in the appetizer section was good. I think we had the chili version. Staff is friendly, good service.

Chantal Bolden

Food was amazing. Perfection at it's finest.

Kathy Dandeneau

Really good food and great service. Lots of parking spots available too Quiet area.

chuck volin

As always great food great portions great wait staff and clearly management that cares and I can emphasize the last part enough

Marc Silverman

Good food moderate to high price.

Miranda Balow

My 5 year old son said it looked beautiful in there

Susan Hammitt

Had a good breakfast here. All homemade. Strawberry jam and maple butter good on sourdough toast.

Walter & Teresa Perkins

This is our favorite breakfast and lunch spot and has been for years. Great good, friendly staff and a nice hometown feel. The desserts are fantastic, all of them, especially the carrot cake.

Rachel Plunk

I wish I had better things to say since I really love the St. Paul location, however our experience here was pretty bad. We arrived at 12:50 on a weekday. At 1:40 we had still not been served our lunch order (only 3 people). So we asked for it to-go. We did not get our food until 1:50. Needless to say, we wont be back.

Shannon Marie

Great service for a busy lunch rush. Food was awesome.

Paul Vaillancourt

I wish the waitress would've wrote down my omelet order and gotten it right. Why try to impress people who just want the correct food that they ordered.

Peter Cahill

Everything Omelet is fantastic! Great flavor (and it is big enough for my wife and I to split). Keys never disappoints.

BIGBENNY57

I was in St. Paul just to see my grandpa. Was getting ready to leave and decided to stop with my family at a cafe or bakery. So we found this place and it was amazing. The cake is to die for. The only problem is parking, but it was worth the search.

rosemary mccann

Love this place, always great food & service! Also great pie!

Tirzah McPherson

The downtown Keys is always solid. Quality food, attentive service a great place for lunch with colleagues.

Duane O.

Best breakfast I've had in a long time, and the best Latte I've ever had at a restaurant by far. Place was packed, but we got sat and waited on almost immediately. Food came out quick, waitress stopped often and got us everything we needed. Perfect place to go for great food and service.

Chase Nelson

I love their breakfast menu, their specialty pancakes are delicious. I've never really been there for dinner but I would definitely still be ordering breakfast food. They also have really good pies, people seem to forget that Key's is also a bakery.

Stephanie Perez-Pria

They have delicious food and malts! The service is less in your face, which I appreciate, but they do check in to make sure everything is correct! I would recommend going anytime! Morning or evening!

Scott looked

We eat here once or twice a month. It's usually very good but the service can be a little slow. Today it was very slow and the food we waited so long for was cold. The restaurant wasn't busy at all so no excuse for that. I had the special, beef tips over noodles. It was awful, too salty and looked and tasted like something that came out of a can. The waitress was very nice about it and took it off the bill. I like Key's and we will be back. I just hope they will work on the service end of their business. We've been there many times and this is the first time I wasn't happy with the food, it's usually great.

Linda Baumgartner

Good home made food. Portions are large, so you may want to share or plan on a doggy bag. We were there for breakfast and even my husband took home some of his omelette. He also had one of their wonderful cinnamon rolls before the omelette. We took home pie that was also wonderful so there was no need for me to cook the rest of the day. Wish we had a Keys closer to us and we would frequent it.

Job Strickland

An exquisite eatery for breakfast and comfort foods. Makes it easy to indulge in my favorite dishes. Great service, always a winner.

LaLa's Life

Amazing service but staff could be more friendly, i understand there was a rush buy nothing like a smile.

John Myers

I went to the keys Cafe & bakery in St Paul. It was the best home-cooked food I have had in a long time. I had the meatloaf and it was oh so good. The waitresses were phenomenal. their bakery items are really really good. I would recommend you going there as often as can.

Bernadine Seablom

Food was good, but service was slow and lacking friendliness.

VaVa Love D

Beef Hash w/ Eggs over hard.. Yes.. And yes..The wait staff was pleasant as well.. Gracias

xl bass

waited over an hour for our food and everyone's food was cool. didn't dare send back as we didn't have another hour to spare.

Casi Finstad

dont be dismayed by the line at the door. they have a weird seating policy that almost always makes things appear worse than they are. great food, good variety, and reasonable prices. we (4 ppl) each ate something different and were all happy with our choices. staff are friendly, and it's a very cozy experience overall.

April Bacon

We have been here at least 5 times. We have had 2 semi enjoyable experiences and 3 where I asked myself why do we keep coming back..... The food takes way too long to come out. We had one waitress who was so rude we almost just left. The lunch food is lackluster and disappointing for the most part. There is another location in Woodbury which I've had better luck with, but the Hudson location has been anything but consistent.

Jonpaul Okal

It's a diner. It's a reasonably good diner. it's not an AWESOME diner, but it's a reasonably good one. It's a step up from Perkins or Denny's. It's a bit pricey for breakfast, but not insanely so.

David Williams

Outstanding service and the food was excellent as always

Debbie Mariana

Always happy with the food and great service!

Janine Overlie

Just ordered via Doordash. Your food was excellent. We had the chicken strip meal, turkey dinner and delicious ranch and cheese curds. Lge portions and ohh so TASTY!!!

Dianne Wilson

Food is usually good. The waitress is cocky and rude. Not sure if she doesn't like her job, or if she had an issue with me. It seems consistant when I go to Keys that whoever the waitress, they have a cocky, rude attitude. Maybe some training, or a new job would help them.

AJ Vierling

Top resturant loved by the locals. Pies to die for. Tables a bit close to each other. Located in downtown area so parking could be a problem.

scp747

This place is all-around goodness. Long time fave. For me though, the eggwich with their own italian sausage is the main draw. I've tried many locations and they are pretty consistent but it does vary. Wooddale has disappointed the most. The Randall has the best loon (chicken wild rice) omelet. I also love their BLT, but I haven't tried a lot of the other non breakfast food.

Vinny Holter

The food their is good and service was good.

Kristy Shafel

Great food! Great atmosphere! Great staff!

Steve Gillis

Great food and great service. Tasty treats too!

Rebecca Schmidt

Great food, breakfast omelet was awesome. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other menu items, including the cakes! Cute decor too! Perfect location on the edge of downtown St. Paul.

Kait Mahl

Great coffee and sweets to die for.

Dawn Johnson

Love this place

Vickie Soderquist

The service was great this morning. Very attentive and cheerful. Also, waitress was able to split our bill the way we needed it. Great Job! Wish I had gotten your name or paid attention to it.

Jason Spellmon

On point good food. Nice customer service.

Jeff Anderson

Great food.done right

Beth Allen

This is a great place to eat. Had breakfast here and the food was very good and they are not skimpy on the portions. They also have a delicious bakery and serve alcohol.

Brandon Olson

Stopped by with a friend to get some baked goods (cookies and cupcakes). I was very impressed with the selection and quality of what we got. The employee who helped us was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend.

Dave V N

Excellent place to eat great food, great service, just a nice afternoon crowd in there. Great atmosphere. I highly recommend eating there. PS, stay away from the cookie and cake display as it it's too tempting and you could gain some massive weight.

Tom Wilkins

Hit and miss. We have been here several times and have had issues with them closing an hour early because they were slow even though they had four sets of customers pull in while we were being turned away (we don't go there after 7pm anymore). Usually the food is pretty good (Love the loon omelette) but service and time are very inconsistent.

alysia johnson

Food and service is always great!

Mike Ferguson

As always, great food and great service. Staff and server are extremely friendly and helpful. Parking lot can be a shitshow but it is what it is.

unfilteredBen

I love keys for the food obviously, the house baked wheat bread ia to die for. Also the service is outstanding. Everyone is so kind and friendly, and there is tons of beautiful plants around. Keep up the awesome work!

Steve Helgeson

Always delicious! And great service, too!

Jason Timmerman

Great food and service :)

Jill Netland

Good food, good service. We say in s nice patio outside on a beautiful day.

Sandy Henderson

Super great food. And the waitress was so nice.

Joshua Cordle

Nothing fancy. Great food at a good price. Traditional American fare. I had the farmer omelette. Would absolutely eat here again.

Wayne

Really enjoyed the time spent in Keys Cafe & Bakery! Loved the Cobb salad, staff and cleanliness of Keys. Will be back for sure

Julie Hanson

Great space. Great location. Amazing service and delish breakfast!

Dani Molinaro

Incredible service. Our server Carlos was an absolute gem of a person who took care of the entire floor with genuine excellence. He deserves a trophy and enormous tips.

Becky Hill

Amazing food, fast, friendly service-even when they're swamped.

Amy Berdusco

Slow service, but friendly. Good food except the orange juice. Good gluten free options.

Jon Wollenberg

We shared the the loon omelette which was huge and so good if you like to try something outside of a traditional omelette. Honestly it falls in my top two favorite omelettes of all time. Also we ordered one of the special pancakes, which was a chocolate and banana. It was extremely tasty and huge. Great for sharing.

Dan Martinez

Not the best

Martin Schwarz

I have always liked Keys and am happy to find them in more new locations. I prefer their breakfasts but have had good soups there too.

Taylor Goldsmith

Really delicious! Can't go wrong with all day breakfast. Great Hollandaise sauce on the Eggs Benedict and the omelettes will definitely satisfy any breakfast craving! Our waitress was lovely and attentive, despite being the only waitress at the time. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes from the menu!

Barbara Rose

Friendly, very personable staff. Never have to wait for anything. They anticipate your needs. The food is fresh and homemade....not heated up in a microwave! And the prices are very reasonable. The soups are absolutely addictive! Would recommend for every meal of the day!

K&W Kleiser

The menu is varied and food is good (typical diner fare). However, we received very poor service on July 4! Our waiter forgot to bring coffee without a reminder, and never came back to offer a refill on coffee or ice water. My husband saw a coffee pot on a burner nearby and finally got up to get a refill himself. We ordered dessert which was never served, so we just decided to skip it at the end of the meal rather than remind the waiter. We paid our bill and left, determined never to return. A few days later while reviewing credit card charges online, we noticed that two charges had been put through by Keys Cafe on our card that day - one for the guest check we paid, and another for an additional $14. We're assuming this might be for the dessert that we never received and for the refill on coffee that we served ourselves??? The second charge pended online for several days and eventually disappeared, so it's likely that Visa contested it since there was no signed guest check to support that second charge. Overall bad experience!

Drew Morgan

Excellent breakfast and pastry

JL A

A longtime favorite of mine for breakfast and lunch around the Twin Cities. It feels like a small-town diner. I haven't been to this location for some time and now I'm happy to see that they offer a small variety of alcohol for those late evening visits.

Travonta Nance

Great food, chill atmosphere, 10/10 would eat again!

Angela Johnson

Amazing food, great service, and love the Blood Mary's

kay meyers

Food was not that good except for the cake

Shirley Malean

Food was ok, price was ridiculous. I was charged $11 for my sausage & cheese omelette instead of $8.35 because I asked to add onion. In addition, asked for no toast so I thought it would be reasonable to "even" out the cost. Nope... As soon as you add, it ends up being a build your own, which if I would have known, I would have added the other 2 or 3 ingredients for that price! Left feeling quite disgusted.

Jacob Irgens

If you need that home cooking taste and feeling of comfort food, this is the place to visit. The staff has always been very friendly, and this place is always very clean and cozy. Makes me feel like I'm a kid again and grandma is in the kitchen making me a plate of numminess....

Robert Schultz

Went for lunch, Waiter was poor, the food was not flavorful, had a piece of cake that was so salty couldn't eat it. I ve eaten breakfast here several times before and it was fine.

Steve Eckerman

Food was excellent, generous portions, and the service was on point!

Reggie Long

This was not their best effort.

patrick K

Gluten free options!

Stacey Mihalko

I don't get here too often because I live 4 hours away. I got burned again ordering and paying extra for their sour dough bread. If you truly love sour dough bread do not order it. It is basicly white bread. Portion and thickness wonderful but is NOT sour dough. Everything else my group had was very good and service was good as well.

Mike Otten

This place is always good for a quick meal that is tasty. Their omelettes are are good and classic.

Dominick Perricelli

Great food! Great service!

Kevin Shannon

Great experience eating here. Always enjoy a visit to Keys when on vacation. No one leaves hungry.

NO BELLE

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! I had the french toast and a chai while my sister had a salad with a shot of espresso and my dad had a sandwhich. The food was HUGE and delicious. It was quite busy but service was quick and our waitress was amazing. I also am in love with the clean interior and cool decorating. I had a great time and great meal here.

Kat Ertter

I had the best Monte Cristo sandwich I've ever tasted here. The staff were wonderfully chatty at the dining bar, as well as one of the local customers. Great food and awesome chit chat. Exactly what I was looking for today

Violet Brant

Keys has great food...it is one of my favorite places to eat. Keys makes its own bread, cooks it's own food from scratch. Yum, yum...now I want to go there again today!!!

jl hatlen linnell

Quiet atmosphere, it was great for a conversational first date. Tasty food, staff were helpful and attentive while giving us space... Have change with you for parking meters and expect a relaxing time!

Jess English

Large portions. Maybe too large. :]

Brian Vrtis

Normally a great experience. But they served a well done burger after we asked for medium. Also we asked for cheddar cheese and they gave us American cheese. The tots were great though

Emma Mellgren

Fast, reasonably priced, broad menu.

Valerie Hoffman

I had a mushroom and Swiss Burger I was delicious nice little cafe

Joanne Denison

Excellent food and great service!

Ellen Rayne

Great food, very relaxed environment. Would recomend for anyone. Good family environment and has a study area.

Troy D

Food and sevice was great, and we we're a group of 20

Daniel Morales Morales

They have good dessert and good food

steve sherman

Great fresh food coupled with hot coffee and friendly service. Thats what we pay for. Good place.

Doug Moore

Arrived Saturday ~11am, seating available inside or out. They're very attentive to cleaning the tables and getting customers water asap, and any other Bev's to start. Service was quick, and everyone was friendly. I got the egg breakfast with American potatoes, pork sausage pattie, and opted for English muffin. Breakfast was good overall, but the potatoes were really good as was the sausage which they make in-house. Can't beat homemade, and pride in what they serve. My friend got the garden omelette which had everything in it, and was HUGE. And all is reasonably priced. I'll be back.

Jim Stromberg

Disappointing. I was seated outside and the service was poor. I was brought the wrong type of soup and the server never came back outside through the entire meal to check on me. Because I was alone and didn't want to abandon my table and my stuff outside I ended up eating the wrong bowl of soup and never getting my water refilled. The soup and sandwich or just average. This was my first visit to Keys Cafe and it did not live up to the reputation.

Had breakfast there this morning. Best omelet I've ever had.

holly hale

Food excellent. Service excellent. Woodbury location tables are very close and prices are high

Cheryl Edwards

Atmosphere was nice, ordered over easy eggs and they were cooked hard. Waitress never came back to check so we both ate them as is! Coffee was very good.

Abby Anderbard

This place is so good. I mean, really good. Their fresh cakes, homemade soups and bread. Their coffee and giant fluffy pancakes! Please keep more of your delicious vegetarian soups like your butternut squash soup in stock. They are to die for!

Judy Kolstad

Been there several times, always great food and service!

Tunde University of Minnesota

TGIF and all that. Decided to treat meself this morning. Ordered steak & eggs breakfast + apple walnut pancake (pictured). Grub was enough for 3 men (they weren’t joking!), and it was delicious. Julie provided excellent service. Much obliged...

Anthony Nickson

Very nice

louis macdaid

They seated us knowing that they were running behind 40 mins. They said they were sorry for the wait and gave us some "day olds " pastries for the inconvenience. We had to take the food to go so we could get back to work ! Seriously poorly managed .

Sierra Dart

Great place for breakfast lunch or dinner! Cinnamon rolls are giant ! So delicious!!! Great service, polite and timely. Deffinatly will go back!

MtnsR4Me

Horrible horrible service! I've been in the restaurant business for years and I understand it gets busy. The host brought our coffee, he was great! Our waitress on the other hand took more than 15 minutes to greet us and we had to ask another waitress for coffee refills. It was another 40 minutes for a burger and 45 minutes for a grilled turkey sandwich. There were several employees, including the manager standing around jibber jabbing, drinking soda and NOT working. Q1: why didn't someone else take our table if the waitress was too busy? Q2: why didn't this waitress check in, apologize and let us know it would take longer. She did pay for our lunch but a good manager would be aware of what is going on and would have tried to make the customer happy. ...I think they all need training in being a team player. ...

Monalisa Bell

The morning ladies,,,, wow great never had a bad experiences,,,,, my hat's off to the chef foods is good, great prices too. Really nice.

Jeff Wohlfahrt

Must stop for home cooked food. The open face turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes, dressing and gravy is to die for. Add a chocolate shake and you'll be in a food coma bliss.

Jim Roush

Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

Darla Rufer

Very busy, but good service and food came fast. They accommodated our big group. Delicious!

Michell Ludwitzke

Food is tasty but the omelets are not portioned well...the filling should fill. Homemade jelly...best! $2 for gluten free toast is to high.

Kenneth Morgan

Good food. Usually friendly staff. Nice bakery. A little pricey.

Lisa Gullick

Ordered soup, it was cold and when I asked them to warm it up they said they would just bring me a fresh bowl. But all they did was microwave it some and it was still just warm not hot.

drew kuef

Honestly, don't remember going here.

Sara Pflaum

Fast, friendly, and good.

Skyler Sutherlin

Nice place, friendly staff, unlimited refills on drip coffee. I have only been here once and I didn't have any of the actual food, but the cake was good.

Alicia Klein

An underwhelming breakfast. Better breakfasts out there. Would not go back.

JoAnn Jardine

Very good food, busy place but worth the wait!

Michael Gauer

Yes indeed. Amazing delicious

Brian Linger

Keys makes awesome food and has a very courteous staff.

Peter Mcclure

Great omelets and Italian sausage!

Valey Menette'

Nice relaxing all Good spot. #igoback

Jerrene Anderson

Closed at 3 pm Sunday!!!?????? That's when I want to order!

Brooks Hitchcock

Keys Cafe is simply perfect. Great food, perfect quantity, friendly and fast staff, and the prices are unbeatable. No need to go elsewhere. Get the Eggwich w/ sausage.

Adreanna Meyers

So good!! The service was excellent, the environment is great, clean & inviting. I ordered the cinnamon french toast & it was stellar! I highly recommend, because the food is simply better. I'd take this over Perkins or Denny's any day. Also the kids menu is phenomenal! Usually kids menus have the same ole chicken strips and corn dogs but here, kiddos got way more of a variety and that makes it even more great. 10/10

James McMurray

Don't go there if they are even a little bit busy. Keys serves great food, nice proportions. But the one in Hudson is seriously understaffed. With no plan on how to deal with the issue. Walked out today for the last time. I asked a waitress if we could get some service and she said" I have to check ". So if the parking spaces near the door are full just pass them by. That way you won't be disappointed.

Ephraim Nicholson

A family friend suggested meeting here for breakfast. We simply ended up having coffee and tea, rather than ordering a meal. The servers were fine with that, and treated us very well. Great service. Great servers. Well kept. Coffee is good, and the tea selection was good, as well. Decently quiet for the heart of St. Paul.

Eileen Alldread

The food was beyond delish and the service and atmosphere was amazing. My first time. I don't live here but when I come to visit I will eat there

Extr3m3ways

Always a great place for American fare. Especially the Sunday staff, the brunch on Sunday is something special.

Conrad Rivard

Large portions. Definitely get your money's worth. Friendly service as well.

Sasina Samreth

Every time we go they are very busy, but it's easy to see why, because the food is great! They have a charming atmosphere and good service. We are repeat customers, because we like to try something new each time! Their breakfast is a special favorite.

Linda Weinhold

Ordered whole apple & cherry pie. Excellent! Topped my own Grandmas &Mom's. Will definitely order again.

Aaron O'Connell

How this place gets a 4 star average baffles me. It's mediocre, and expensive. Sourdough bread was extra, and it was flavorless. Closest place for good breakfast is Not Justa Cafe in Bayport and then Oasis in Stillwater. Same price as Keys, but you actually get what you pay for there (good food good portion)

Junior Lindsay

Great spot for breakfast. The pancakes are huge and the staff was pleasant. I’d definitely return here again

Gregory Runk

Good comfort food. Good service.

Barby Berg

Love their bakery and bkfast!

Victoria Avanthay

We drove 7 hours down from Winnipeg to spend the week in MN, and one of my favourite parts of a vacation is finding great breakfast spots. Our local friends brought us here and wow, it did not disappoint! Coffee and food were amazing, with extremely generous portions. Will definitely return if we find ourselves in the area again, thank you!

Zach Heurung

Great food and service every time we go there

Michael Farnham

We went here for lunch. I was thinking that it was a soup day and they always have a great selection of soups. I had the creamy Turkey wild rice soup and it was delicious.

Michael Van Dyke

Keys is honestly my favorite breakfast place, and any time that I am in town in the morning I always try to stop here. I have yet to have a single item that I have ordered on the menu that I haven't enjoyed. It's really hard to find good breakfast, but Keys does a good job and at a reasonable price!

Tricia Mathe

Awesome food

Tyler Gerde

Favorite breakfast spot.

Nick Dingmann

Good service. Horrible coffee. Food was lacking flavor and was served lukewarm. Prices were in-line with portion size.

Jeff Sherwood

Great Breakfast stop

Lindsey Cannon

The "Rachel" is so good! Great service, quick staff. Not too busy at early lunchtime, was able to find a table and work uninterrupted while waiting on my food!

Maria Ideker

Great food. Longer wait because it was so busy, but they gave a complementary roll while we waited. Great staff and great food.

Madeline Riley

Nicole was amazing, especially since we were there right after church on a Sunday. Please get the Potatoes, Etc or the Cinnamon French Toast. Or both.

Mary Shemon

Good food., fun place

Norcross Chocolates

Great food, service and very kind staff

Travis Grundy

Great food, the peak waiting time was long tho, so dont take too much time deciding. The Ranch plate is awesome choice.

Ryan Eskierka

Service was not good. Young man working behind the counter was not welcoming and cold. The place is nice.

Suzie Schwartz

This place was amazing

caroline mueller

Stopped here for a quick breakfast. Hostess and waitress were very friendly. Waitress wasnt pushy and she was very responsive. Looking at the menu there were some things I thought were a great deal and others where I thought it was veryoverpriced. I got french toast and it was perfect, light cinnamon flavor, crispy crust and soft inside. Not sure what butter they use but oh my gosh deliciousssss. I grabbed one of their gf cookies to go, toffee flavor. Yum. Hostess gave me a recommendation for next time.

Mark McCorkel

Great breakfast spot.

John Starcevich

Good gravy on the biscuits and gravy.... biscuits not so good. Hobo breakfast was very good. The marinated chicken breast was very tough. Excellent service, very friendly staff. Prices are extremely high for what you get. All in all probably won't come back. You have to pay for parking. It is downtown after all.

jessica sarkela

Super long waits without waiting area. Food not great for prices. Only one stall in bathrooms so you wait long for that and have to wait for your bill then wait in line to pay. Needs a better design.

gamtoosie afrika

Very enjoyable. Good service.

C.L. Green

Breakfast was delicious! So was the hot chocolate, the whipped cream is extra thick, just how I like it. I had the Hobo breakfast w/two over easy eggs the were cooked perfect.

Cal P

We went here after a morning at the St. Paul Farmers Market on a Sunday. It was busy, but we were able to be seated right away and we sat on the patio area. The patio has views of the buildings and a little garden park across the street. The service was very fast and friendly. The menu is large so you have the option to eat any kind of food, anytime of the day. I opted for the turkey dinner for lunch which was very filling. It was just your typical turkey dinner, wasn’t anything I’d say that was too special about it, but it was still good. Others in our group went for breakfast which they said they enjoyed. The eggs were cooked nicely and as ordered. The Cajun breakfast was good, but again sort of bland. It didnt have a “kick” or flavor you’d expect when ordering a “Cajun” breakfast. The prices are reasonable. If you’re looking for a quick bite that easy and simple, I’d recommend this place.

Collin Ham

Amazing coffee just amazing!!

Troy Halverson

Great place for home style cooking

michael myer

Nice quiet diner to eat breakfast. Some of there breakfast plates could be better. We will visit time to time.

Kathy Tischler

Great breakfast food and service! The staff went out of their way to make sure my mom was comfortable and enjoying Mother's Day.

dude Tafukip

Its a nice establish ment my server was a little moody but thats ok we all have our days. the food was good and for the compacity i feel it came out in good time.

greg turner

Great food and service been a customer of keys for many years, they're always at the top of my list.

Mike LeMere

Our first time here. Service was friendly and the food was very good.

Wayne Shellabarger

Needed some quick caramel rolls before heading out on Amtrack. Jeys saved the day with great rolls and quick service!!

Mikki Desque

Great food and service everytime that I go. I work nearby and sometimes stop in for caramel rolls for a colleague on the way. Great morning great! They have tasty options for a variety of ways of eating so when we want lunch out we can accommodate vegetarian, low fat & keto friends without anyone missing out on their favorites. The Cobb salad may be my favorite but it could be their Greek omelet. Or maybe the spinach salad. But then i really like their chili omelet too. It's difficult to decide.

Shevek McKee

A bit spendy. Was super busy this past weekend but the staff handled it well. They would be well served by a larger area for people waiting for a table in the winter months, those poor people.

Phil Bushy

Huge pancakes, best in the area. Great bakery. Service at this restaurant is outstanding. My favorite entre is hot turkey sandwich. The best I have ever had. Better than mom's. Any restaurant in the chain is worthy of checking out.

Joe Czech

We go to Keys just for their amazing pancakes! My wife doesn’t even need syrup since they are that good! Keep up the great work Keys!

Diane Maronga

Went on a friday,had reservations for 6 pm,for 16 people which was located in a private area our waitress just pointed to the room,yet there was only 1 person in the whole place.our waitress was very rude as the night went on,3of us ordered alcoholic beverages, and there didn't seem to be a drop of alcohol in them.some of us ordered appetizers which were served to us during our meal,3 people ordered their food medium,it came medium well the waitress said,sorry our cook is foreign and doesn't understand. She really seemed like she didn't want to wait on us,there also was a dish pan located by our table that she proceeded to throw our dishes in when we were through very loudly,and got louder everytime she threw them in there.the only thing any of us thought was good was our dessert, super delicious. Service was beyond terrible.

Greg Garritty

Met some colleagues for breakfast. The food was excellent as was the service. We all enjoyed our food very much. The only problem with this location is the limited parking.

Demetrius Sass

It's Keys, you know it's good.

Kristy Smith

We would only go here for eggs beny but they changed the sauce never coming back ....the French toast changed too didn't taste like it use to

Michele Shultz

Huge portions and comfortable atmosphere. Everyone who was working was attentive and friendly. My coffee was continually refilled and I was checked on frequently. I'll definitely stop here again.

The1RowdyDog

Monte Cristo was terrible. Service was mediocre.

Michael Powers

Makes me feel like I have taken a trip into the past to the family restaurants of my youth. Real wholesome food.

Augusta Faucett

I LOVE this place, it is so good! I come here mainly for the cinnamon French toast which is delicious, but I’ve had other meals as well that are awesome too. I frequent here at least once a week!

Laurie Jensen

Good food, great service.

Quinny Zeisslerg

The food was good even re heated

Jenn Goodell

Delicious! Service was attentive and very friendly. Breakfast was delicious and their baked good are amazing!!!! Get the cinnamon roll - it comes out warm. You won’t regret it!

Robert Bauer

Qwell, the service was top notch, the food absolutely delicious and the courtesy of the staff and management bar none.

Andrew Hossalla

When we walked inside there was no host/hostess anywhere to be seen, there was however a "Please seat yourself" sign. We opted to sit outside on the patio. After waiting 10 minutes with nobody to be seen, I went back inside to investigate. I found the server and just asked for a drink menu out on the patio. She responded with, "Oh I didn't know you two wanted anything" then proceeded to tell me how it was my fault we waited out there for so long. She finally came out, no menus, and asked us what we want. We did not try their food, I can imagine its better than their service!

Trisha Strom

Perfect! Ordered a veggie omlet and a perfect bloody mary for brunch.

Sam Lewandowski

This is such a nice place to eat. The food is all homemade and I've never had anything short of delicious there. Keys is on the top of my list to recommend to other people. Will definitely come again soon.

Steve Nieckarz

Keys is a classic! The turkey dinner here is the tops!

Ric Landers

Great service and great food!

Sara Dettloff-Moats

Good food, good service. I like the vibe there

Richard Narjes

Better than my mom's cooking and a good bakery

Philip Hughes

Enjoyable atmosphere for a family breakfast.

Elizabeth Maurer

Always awesome food and service!

AARON KASPEREK

Very quick service and food is pretty good. Food comes to you pretty quick.

daskocina

Finally broke my Key's Cafe & Bakery cherry today and wow they have some good breakfast! I will definitely come back.

Mike Klintworth

Good food and service. A little pricey for breakfast but still worth a visit.

Dan Thone

Good food, good service

Erik Spangrud

Wow this restaurant/ diner was so good. The portion size for food was meant to feed a large bear. I got an omelette and it said they used two eggs. Those must have been ostriches eggs or in reality more like 5 eggs. Just again have to say how good it was. They had their own bakery with cake or pie selections. A 100 percent recommendation.

Harland Frank

A Minnesota and (now) Wisconsin staple. It's one of the best breakfasts around. I love this place.

Wendell Geary

Midwest comfort food in a stellar location. Eggs to order but pass on the beef hash.

David Levine

Great food and service

Brett Whiting

We had a great breakfast with wonderful service.

Dan Mc Dowell

Good food and excellent service. Short staffed this day so wait times were longer than usual.
