Keys is your typical Midwest diner/bakery: large portions, dull decor, and bland food. I ordered the cajun breakfast but the cajun wasn't in the room with us. The toast was underwhelming and the waffles felt rather stale. The cherry pie was quite good, though! Our server was pretty great. She seemed like she had a lot going on but was engaging and attentive.

Visited Keys Cafe and one thing is clear--this place is popular. It filled up quickly with families and friends, which really added to the lively, welcoming atmosphere. I'm currently on a no-meat break, so finding something to order was a bit of a challenge. I went with the potato dish that comes with veggies and cheese. Since I'm not a tomato or mushroom girlie, I had those removed, and honestly, I think that made the plate look a little underwhelming. I would've loved my hash browns to be crispier and the veggies tossed in with them for a more cohesive bite. Now, the pancake? Absolutely amazing. Soft, flavorful, and easily the highlight of my meal. Service was also a plus our server was really kind and attentive, which always makes a difference. Overall, this seems like a great spot, especially if you're not limiting your options like I was. I'll definitely be back to experience the full menu when meat is back on the table.

The portions are large, the menu has many variety of foods, the atmosphere and ambience makes it a great place for all ages to enjoy. Breakfast, lunch or dinner can be ordered anytime. There bakery and prepare frozen dinners, gravy capable purchased. There is a patio area very quaint. Order pies, sweets and meals for all occasions.

This is one of favorite go to places for breakfast. The whole keys cafe chain is really good but this location will always have a spot in my heart . Very nice staff and fun decor. They are very generous when it comes to serving size as well.

I created my own omelet....delicious
Rob C.

Classic family owned restaurant. I visit this location the most, due to proximity to my house. Very satisfying food, reasonably priced. The decor is anything special - standard family diner stlye. But the service is always good and prompt, and the food hits the spot. Very reliable, if not spectacular. Solid, and would recommend. No complaints

Turkey Dinner all white meat
Anh T.

My fav all American homemade cooking from scratch from bread to cookies to turkey dinner to breakfast omelets. The best hash browns in the nation! They seem to be very busy at all hours but the food comes out piping hot everytime. I like they have butter cubes at the tables I usually get there very early for breakfast to avoid the long lines or an hour before they close for dinner. Anything in btwn is a really long wait. I like the big booths it feels very homey.

Turkey Dinner
Tiffany V.

They're always busy during breakfast and lunch. Nice little eating place, more like your mom and Pop store. Always like their turkey dinner. Customer service is good. The place is a little bit crowd what is doable? Nice choice of manual where you can have breakfast throughout the day.

Biscuits and gravy and chicken fried steak
Jon A.

Too early to pick up our eye glasses so we found Keys. Tiny wait, quick service, huge servings. I had biscuits and gravy (Yum!) and Hubby had chicken fried steak. Gosh they were good. So glad we found a Keys this morning!

French Toast - Two SlicesFrench
Shell J.

It's a classic breakfast spot that you will want to come back every now and then. I like simple stuff like French toast, scrambled eggs that made right, this is the place to go. The staff are fast, humble and friendly. We grabbed a couple of scones on way out, yum yum, too good, when i remembered to take photos, they were all gone. Next time!

Keys is great breakfast spot, although I'm not much of a breakfast person, my kids love it whether the Minneapolis, Saint Paul, or Roseville location. Ambiance 4/5 Average diner spot with open kitchen to look in on the cooks (Mpls location). The Roseville and Saint Paul location is a bit bigger than the Minneapolis location. If you like a cozy down home feel, the Minneapolis location for sure. It gives Roseanne bar and I'm here for it. Service 4/5 Average service, nothing to write home about, but will do. Food/Drinks 4/5 Very affordable and great meetup spot for anything to family outing to business meetups. Their mushroom omelet disappoints as there from the can, I feel shortchanged. Price: Affordable. I love they sell the Strawberry jam, its a staple of the restaurant. Great for toast and a light snack. Overall 4/5 parking for Roseville location can be frustrating due to the little parking lot. Don't come midday, that's forsure.

A pretty neat wall hanging.

Such a nice spot to drop into!…read more The staff gave me a great recommendation, I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu. Seating was simple and required ordering before sitting, which I appreciated. I ended up with the collosal classic breakfast, turkey links, sourdough, overeasy egg, hash browns and some black berry blueberry jam. It was a good size and pretty good. I was able to split it over two meals! Coffee and water were self serve, which I loved. Honestly, this is something I wish every restaurant had because I drink a good amount of coffee and hate bugging the staff for more. My only thing would be the hot sauce. I liked the pineapple habanero, but it was more sweet than spicy. I think a nice Cry Baby Craig's bottle would have really made it. I can't wait to go back and try more things!

I love Colossal! I have been here a few times and only once gotten something I didn't enjoy. The…read morefood is delicious and ranges from the biggest baked goods you've ever seen to a simple breakfast sandwich to delightfully balanced flavorful breakfasts. This location is a bit small and can be pretty popular at times but they've really stepped up their service lately. You order and at the counter before you are seated and it used to be seat yourself free for all but most recently a server was asking folks in line their party sizes and presenting seating options before you order so you would have a table reserved when you were ready to sit. I really liked this and thought it did wonders to streamline the sometimes chaotic customer line and seating situation. Less stressful for me and less stressful for them! We were able to order, find our reserved table outside, and receive our coffee and food all within 20 minutes of arriving. They serve Truestone coffee here which absolutely bangs, really really good, and I got a vanilla latte that had actual vanilla bean in it. Delectable! I got the Chorizo bowl which comes with 2 salsa that pack some pleasant heat and are complimented by a couple small slices of pineapple. My friends got the Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich, and the special Guajillo Eggs Benedict both of which were also quite satisfying. The one item I did not enjoy was the Biscuits and Gravy, the gravy was just too sage heavy (as advertised) and I am not sure I liked the combo of pork and bison meat in it. That being said, I will definitely still come back here! Really REALLY good coffee will always keep me coming back.

Karol Coffee…read morejust celebrated their one-year anniversary this spring, and they've established themselves so well. Their staff are so kind and welcoming, and their drinks high-quality with fresh beans. My parents say they're so spoiled on Karol's excellent drip coffee, they can no longer drink Starbucks and Caribou brews. I'm a latte-lover and love to see what their specials are. Current fav is the Girl Scout caramel delight-inspired. They get very creative with their flavors, such as their Garden Cookie Latte made with a rosemary sea salt and mocha syrup. This shop is also very kid-friendly, with a play area inside and outside. Fun Fact: Named after Karol Józef Wojtyła, better known as Pope John Paul II. Parking: free street parking, just know it's across the street from a school, so drive slow!

We went on a Saturday morning, and it was definitely pretty busy! There was a line out the door,…read morebut luckily, there were plenty of seating areas. Tucked away in a cozy residential neighborhood, the cafe has a really warm and homey atmosphere, almost like you're visiting someone's house. The Garden Latte had a stronger rosemary flavor, which was definitely noticeable. The breakfast sandwich was yummy, and the Sparkling Blackberry Iced Tea was super refreshing! Overall, such a cute spot for a weekend breakfast or coffee run.

Great evening talking to the family in the booth - we even sang together. They didn't kick us all out for our bad singing. My husband loved his breakfast meal. The one must order here are the hashbrowns - loaded or not. I had the mushroom burger and it was good, an average type of burger. Service was a bit slow but maybe the singing scared her away?

It's so close to the children's museum which is where we were prior to heading there for a quick bite. This restaurant is on the list of historical places. It's been in a bunch of movies including Jingle All The Way and the Mighty Ducks movies. On what we ordered...I just ordered scrambled eggs with hash browns alongside a decaf coffee and the kiddo asked for French fries and chocolate milk. My eggs were loaded with butter and were okay. Same with hash browns...nothing special or out of the ordinary to mention. This place is definitely just diner food but on the scale of diner food, it's just 2-3 stars out of 5. This coming from a girl who grew up on diner food in NY. The service wasn't great and I even went to the counter to pay my bill when we were ready to leave. They were in the process of shifts changing over. I think it's more the excitement to check out the dining car. There are 4 booths to the right otherwise it's all counter seating. Each booth has an old-fashioned jukebox. Not sure if it works but it was fun to peruse the music options.
