Great breakfast served all day. I especially like the Mexican omelette , which is filled with chili and topped with cheese , sour cream , and salsa . Also comes with tortilla chips for dipping--yum!

Kathie Abts

Came in with a group of 7 during the snowstorm 4/14 before the craft beer festival busy but adequately staffed for taking care of people enjoyed scrambled egg whites with spinach hash browns and toast

Rachel Mercer

If you don't want to work in the clubby W lobby, this place has wifi and tables in the back. Decent food and soup specials, but the baked goods are where it's at.

adrienne lee

chocolate pie is an amazing dark chocolate . a "slice" is really a quarter of a pie . (friends also said the cheesecakes are also really good)

Jeffrey Cronin

Been going to breakfast at the downtown Minneapolis Key's since I moved here 15 years ago. Reliable quality breakfast and lunch , I always get the Italian hash , totally worth it.

John

Good spot for delicious breakfast , coffee , and mimosas if you are feeling saucy!

David Howland

Omelettes are huge, delicious, and available all day. Homemade strawberry jam on the toast was a great touch.

Brooks J

If you're hungry, then you're in the right place. The omelettes are a great way to start the day. All of the food is quality & good!

I'm a fan of the huevos rancheros . Nothing to write home about, but they get the job done.

Kaylie R

Great breakfast on a Sunday. Great diner like atmosphere. Good oatmeal (steel cut). Nice fruit plate .

Anthony Roderman

The sausage patties are nearly hamburger size! And their homemade strawberry jam is fantastic.

Guy V

Great breakfast ! Love the Farmers' omelette !!! It has the hash browns inside. Order a side of sausage . It's the size of a hamburger .

HISTORY

The tower was built between 1928 and 1929 by Wilber Foshay. He chose to build his company in Minneapolis and started construction on this building, which is modeled after the Washington Monument .

Chris J

Check out all of the historical photographs along the wall.

Brianna Price

Ok to sit in the bar - just don't sit at the bar . For some reason sitting front and center causes the staff to overlook you.

Kyle Leighton

If they are offering Chilaquiles Rojos for breakfast , get it.

Brittany Benson

Eggs Benedict was AMAZING! I'd go back anytime.

Ben Freedland

Great spot for breakfast , but order something other than waffles with pecans . You don't make a pecan waffle by throwing a handful on top...

Chuck Palmer

I hope this isn't MLPS's best breakfast . My one choice of cheese in the omelette was that weird goo that comes with corn chips at the ball park . Dull coffee , tough p'cake & bad music

Jessica Kerher

Excellent food. Get the Cajun scramble!

Rick Binder

The farmers omelette is amazing a well as the cinnamon french toast !

Scott Rahner

Ate here a couple mornings during a biz trip .. everything is awesome!

The bloody marys are great. Get one (or two) with your oversized breakfast and take a nap.

Julian Vela

Can't even begin to describe it. Great service and great food. Love it.
