Key's Cafe

From breakfast to dinner including deserts best food you can buy. I now travel an hour to and from to eat from here. Also they made my wedding cake. I’ve never been disappointed!

The cake I ordered over the phone for my daughters birthday turned out perfectly. I couldn't have been more pleased and my daughter was delighted. Thanks so much to the Key's staff for making this occasion so special.

The pancakes and the eggs themselves were pretty darn good. Service was pretty good as well. Unfortunately the sausage party that I received was undercooked and it kind of turned my stomach. But overall I give them a shot again.

Key's Cafe in Forest Lake is one of the best breakfast restaurants I've had the pleasure to eat in a long time. They also have an extensive lunch and dinner menu but the breakfast we had was exceptional. They have a large seating capacity so the wait was minimal. They also have an onsite bakery with exquisite pies and phenomenal caramel pecan rolls. They are very busy on Sunday mornings but it is worth the drive and slight wait in order to enjoy a great meal.

The only other location of a Keys that I have been to in my life is the one in Roseville. I have been to this location a few times now and each time I've been disappointed. It's just not the same for some reason, and not as clean. The food wasn't terrible, but if for whatever reason the quality isn't as great at this location. The staff is friendly enough, so that helps a lot, but as far as the food, presentation and environment, not so great. I may give them another try, we'll see.

This location is right off the highway, next to a hotel so it is convenient for those traveling. Not an unworthy stop by any means, just don't expect too much. It is also family friendly in case you have kids.
