This was the meeting spot for breakfast before the Minnesota Gophers football game. Quint paid! Thank you my friend.

Excellent food!
The waitress needed to be reminded about a few things.
Every few minutes, a cold, rather forceful air was blowing right at us - sitting at the wooden booth tables by the window. I wish I'd brought long sleeves.

Egg omelets were good, hash browns were crispy (very important), the steak was tender (amazing).

Order a Caesar salad with chicken. Took over an hour to get. The salad was iceberg lettuce chopped salad with cheep parmesan on top. Didn’t even have croutons like the menu stated. The cost of the salad was $26. I’ve been to the other keys cafe’s and this one is not as good.

The original Keys just tastes better. I also prefer the service an cozy old school atmosphere to the newer Keys.

Came in and the sign said seat yourself. There were plenty of empty tables to choose from. Found a spot and sat down. We ended up waiting 15 minutes for water to be served and 30 minutes for the waitress to show up. Prices are on the high end considering.

Well i am very sad that I am giving a formal college fave a low rating but I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible despite all great memories we had here back in the day. Well although our server was nice she legit admitted that she forgot we were there hence we had to hunt someone down after sitting for over 20min looking at the menu. 😳 Now the food... The people who i with said their omelets were good but my breakfast sandwich that is picture was a whole other story. It was extremely dry, it lacked flavor and it was just not good. Very disappointed overall.

OMG this place is a hidden gem! We had the best food and service that we have had in a long time. It wasn’t what we expected from a Cafe & Bakery because the menu was packed with great appetizers, entrees and desserts. Everything we ordered was so amazing that our plates were completely clean (even though the portions of food were big)! I had the tomato bisque soup (the absolute best I’ve ever tasted) with a grilled cheese made from homemade bread. This was a perfect combination! If you are ever in town and want a great variety of deliciousness, this place is yum yum and then some! The carrot cake, and German chocolate cake were two very moist and flavorful pieces of heaven in your mouth. Their desserts are the kind you search for but rarely find! Our service was excellent thanks to Ty, the Kitchen Manager, and Miles our server, for a great experience X 2. Did I mention this place is so good we returned for a second meal the following day. What a very family friendly atmosphere! I highly recommend Keys Cafe & Bakery on Roberts St in downtown St. Paul, MN.

The food was not good. Been to several locations and this the worst experience. Hash browns were burnt. Asked for jelly three times didn’t get it. My partner asked for crispy bacon and received rubbery bacon. Server got lost and Had to ask another server to get coffee. Won’t go back to Raymond location again

If I could give it six stars, I would.

The food was not like old times there. The fish was skimpy.my sandwich was not like a good Monty Cristel used to be.

Fantastic diner, and I loved the biscuits-and-gravy. I look forward to going back!
