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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Keys Cafe & Bakery - I created my own omelet....delicious - Bakeries Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

My wife and I stopped to have breakfast Wednesday morning at Keys Cafe on Lexington Ave. Although it was a cold and blistery day the cafe was very busy. We were seated just down from the front door. Everytime the front door opened we got a blast of the cold air. We had a very pleasant server who took good care of us. The food, however, was a different story. The American potatoes were cold and hard. Our toast came unbuttered and uncut. Our breakfasts was very disappointing. Needless to say we probably will not be back for a while. At least for breakfast. read more

I stopped in for my favorite eggs benedict at 9 am on a Wednesday at the Raymond Avenue shop. It wasn't busy at all and I seated myself. And then nothing, not a greeting, or asking if I wanted coffee to start, nothing. There appeared to be one server for about five or six tables and no one seated at the counter. My server walked by once or twice." Ten minutes later, still no one approched me. I left after stopping to tell and young lady at the check out what had (not) happened. Hey folks, I'm not coming back. Find some new help. read more

Keys has been around since 1975 and remains a popular restaurant in a number of locations. Unfortunately, they closed the two locations that were closest to me, so it's been a minute since I've been to the one in Roseville. The place has an attractive and comfortable vibe to it and it's the kind of place you want to linger. We were there for breakfast, since I was craving an omelet and Keys does that particularly well. I was pleased that the waitress brought me a small pot of coffee, along with my coffee mug. This is increasingly rare, but appreciated, since I don't have to track down a waitress for a coffee refill. (The coffee was excellent, btw). My wife and I were there before 8 am, so we were able to get a table right away, although it was filling up fast. My omelet did NOT disappoint. It was exactly what I was craving. The "Build your own omelet" contains five ingredients of your choice. I chose onion, green pepper, ham, bacon, and cream cheese. The quality and quantity were spot-on and couldn't have asked for a better made omelet. It came with wheat toast and strawberry jam. I only finished it because I was so hungry. My wife had the scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and toast. The eggs were well made and the hashbrowns were crispy on the top and bottom, soft inside. All around perfection. The only complaints I have is that the service was exceedingly slow. We were in no rush, so it didn't bother us, but it took well over 30 minutes to get our food from the time we ordered. The other issue was a surcharge for using a credit card, which I'm not a fan of. However, all in all, this was a solid four our of five stars and would have been five out of five except for the two issues I mentioned. read more

Had brunch with the family and we are from out of town. So glad we had the opportunity to visit I'm still thinking about their pecan pie!

We are in town for a conference and just stumbled across this place and boy howdy are we glad we did. The food is fantastic and the service wonderful. I had spaghetti which was a special and really one of the best I've ever eaten. And the places isn't even Italian! Don't think of leaving until you tried some of delicious baked goods particularly the rhubarb cream cheese cake. read more

The menu items are varied and home cooking appeals to us. Cold items salads and sandwiches, soup is good, dinners are yummy and they do have a turkey dinner year round ! Really yummy bakery items. The oil they use for frying or cooking (eggs, hash browns etc.) gives me some GI upset so I stay away from breakfast foods which is unfortunate. Servers are ok. Lots of seating. Very busy on Sunday mornings expect a wait. read more

I stopped by here for a team breakfast for work and it was exactly what you would expect from this type of restaurant. It has very strong suburban diner vibes with somewhat retro/outdated decor, a big old pastry display in the front, and a huge menu. I ordered a raspberry iced tea and corned beef hash. The raspberry iced tea was a classic soda fountain one, not fresh which is okay, but it was separated from the fountain drinks so I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. As for the corned beef hash, it was good but nothing special. They sort of just plopped some on my plate and called it a day as you can see in the photo. The portion was a great size and I had leftovers for lunch, but it was missing something, maybe eggs or something of the sort. I am sure it could be added but as one of the more expensive entrees on the menu, I was hoping for a more complete meal. Looking around at all the other tables and talking to my teammates after the meal, people seemed to all agree just a good, average place that can accommodate a large group. read more

Visited for lunch. Always good food at Keys. Very busy, as always, do we had to wait a few minutes but not bad. Efficient professional servers. They are taking care of a bunch of tables but didn't neglect any a sex far as I could see. Had the grilled BLT which was great! Other orders at the table were chicken salad sandwich, turkey dinner, corn beef hash breakfast and all were reported as fantastic. Never had disappointing food here. Very generous servings. Cafe atmosphere. read more

Friendly service with great food and nice serving size for your money. Great variety and breakfast all day.

The service was terrible. We waited 10 minutes for our water, watched the waitress take orders from 2 tables that sat down after us. When this was pointed out to the waitress she made an excuse. Forgot a side of toast and clearly doesnt know the meaning of customer service read more

A Friday noon lunch; busy with a wait however went by quickly & we enjoyed the waiting area though a bit cramped...made for time to look at baked goods, the menu, & people watch. Server was attentive and informative. Partner had a Rachel with thick sliced roasted turkey. I had the white chicken chili & a cold meatloaf sandwich - tasty. The chili was a cup portion; was so good I should have ordered the bowl. read more

Our server was nice. Food took a long time to get, and others who ordered after us got theirs before us. The kids meal was very disappointing. I asked what the koala cake was and was told it was just a pancake. However, it comes piled with whipped cream and candy. For a kid with food sensitivities, this was unexpected. The food didn't taste good and he didn't eat it. My toast, potatoes, and eggs were all DRY! read more

In the past we ordered from forest lake, Woodbury or white bear key's never had a problem unfortunately some of the key's don't offer this service anymore. So we tried Roseville 2nd year in a row we ordered the Thanksgiving take out meal for six. NEVER AGAIN. Turkey, Stuffing were so dried out and was terrible. I was really embarrassing to have company over for food to taste like this. read more

My family and I stopped in for breakfast early Saturday morning. The staff was friendly and the place was packed but they found us a table for 5 quickly. Our drinks came out fast and our waitress made sure that our kids meals came out very quickly so they didn't have to wait. She made great recommendations from the menu and always had a smile on her face. The food was fresh, hot and had great flavor. We will be back again and again. read more

We often go during the lunch period, but have experienced no undue delay in ordering or delivery of our meals. It seems a bit crowded, but it's quiet enough for conversing without raising our voices. My favorite is the chicken Philly. Serving sizes are more than adequate, and we always have leftovers to enjoy again later. read more

I have been in Minnesota for 10 days. I have tried different places to eat while in this state. Let me tell you this place is absolutely amazing. Clean, old fashion welcoming atmosphere. The waitress/waiters are attentive and for the volume of people the food came hot and In reasonable time. Don't let me tell you about the portions!! They are not stingy with their portions. The best!!! Love it!! read more

I had the BEST omelette at Keys this morning. The diner vibes were top notch. Excellent server and hostess and a short wait to get in. It was bustling!

Close to bus lines on Lexington. read more

Seven in our group, mid afternoon on a Saturday. We were able to sit together! Food is very yummy and service good.

I appreciate the Roseville Keys for their fast service, seating both inside and out, and delicious menu. I've never experienced the team "short-staffed" like many businesses recently but even if they were, I can't tell. The experience is always a pleasant one whether I'm dining in or doing take out. I highly recommend a slice or two of the house cake - it is to DIE for. Thanks for always making each trip fantastic! read more

We love the food at Keys every time we are there! There is a laid back atmosphere, a full menu (without overdoing it), and it's usually busy, but you can still get a table. The 4 stars is because I've had 2 or 3 experiences where the wait staff was inattentive or unavailable. Overall - well worth it!! read more

Recommend by good friends the portion are very good more food then plates!! Pancakes bigger then the plate. When you order coffee they leave you the pitcher. Chairs are comfy me being a bigger dude looks like the booths have movable tables. Food had great flavors and plenty of condiments on the table as well. Very family oriented atmosphere great people too. read more

Today I went to keys cafe for breakfast, I ordered a hot chocolate with whip cream and marshmallows . the Waitress at the Roseville location put's a dirty spoon in my hot chocolate and served it to me. I didn't see how dirty the spoon was until I took it out of my mouth. I asked to speak to the manager. The kitchen manager comes out and I tell him what happened and he's laughing about it so I said I wanted to speak to the owner. I didn't Order any food. I ended up walking out of the restaurant. The spoon had dried up food and who know what else on it. read more
