Great breakfast food and great prices. The place was crowded but we were seated quickly and served quickly, so great staff too! It's a pretty small space so be prepared to be in close quarters.

Took my wife to Kite & Key for our anniversary (she wanted breakfast). The food was very good, wait time was short. I had the crepes and sausage, she had the Rise and Shine. Portions were generous, food tasted great. We definitely will come back.

Great experience even if it's just for a cup of coffee.

I was in town for a concert and we found this place looking for a local breakfast cafe. Excellent service and phenomenal food. My wife got the traditional eggs benedict and I had the ham and cheese omelet with biscuits and gravy. Their gravy is mamaw good ya'll! If I'm ever back in Evansville I'll be eating breakfast here!

Quaint little breakfast restaurant. Great food and our bill was $21 (before tip) for 2 of us. Can’t bet that!

Kite & Key is as innovative with their homey mom & pop casual breakfast diner as Benjamin Franklin was for their namesake. A concise yet rich menu offers a choice collection of breakfast items done well. I enjoyed their traditional Eggs Ben(edict) while my mother had a delicious omelet. The two dishes we ordered were both obviously prepared with love. They nailed the hollandaise sauce on mine and kept her omelet light and fluffy. I tried their chorizo and potato soup of the day and found myself pleasantly surprised by it as well. If you are looking for a place to stop in for breakfast - give them a try!

Long-time customer here. Dined in for breakfast on Thursday 3.30.23 and we must say that the place has gone significantly downhill within the last 6months. I’ve seen mention of a new owner on here although I cannot confirm but would make sense. Waitress had attitude when she brought one of our orders wrong we were simply told that we didn’t have to eat it. We will not be back! Huge thumbs down and it looks like they’re losing customers fast. 😬

The food is always GOOD. They were super busy today to it took longer than normal to get our food but it came out very hot and fresh. The amount of time it took today was the oddity so it'll continue to be one of my favorite places. Definitely give it a try if you haven't been!

Oh my, this place has really changed & not in a good way. I’m from Evansville but I don’t live in Evansville anymore. When visiting Evansville, I always have breakfast at K&K with friends/family. I was unaware that the ownership had changed before dining there this week but immediately knew during/after that something had changed. My Mom told me afterwards about the change in ownership because I was like “Oh my, this place has really changed & not in a good way.” The place is now highly unorganized & the staff we encountered were not clean or well-groomed. Our waitress had severe dandruff & darkened teeth. Our table of two waited 50+ minutes for our breakfast food that is now, VERY CLEARLY, mostly pre-packaged stuff that’s merely reheated. I’m actually very sad about this. K&K used to be so good & it was convenient to have this cafe on the west side. Never again. Awful.

We live 3 hours away but Kite & Key is a must if we are in the area. It’s always consistent in the quality of food and care of the servers. If you are looking for a place that it feels like mom made your breakfast, you found it. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

This is one of my favorite "mom and pop" places in Evansville. Ms. Jenny is absolutely amazing in the coffee shop. Her customer service is definitely why I keep coming back. I have had everything on the menu, and this place has never disappointed. My favorite however is the farmhouse breakfast

Very good first time there today we had a group of 4 they were busy it's a very small place but man was there food so good! I enjoyed the country Ben which is a poached egg on top of biscuits and gravy with German potatoes our whole party enjoyed the German potatoes they were some of the best we have ever had! I can't wait to go back for breakfast!

Been here several times in the past few years. It's mine and my wife's breakfast place for our breakfast dates. Food ranging from bacon and eggs to a chicken sandwich. Whole menu all day which is cool. Problem with that, is the corned beef hash and eggs is my go-to so I don't try too much else. I'm hooked! Nice little cozy Cafe seats about 40-50. Coffee bar available as well. On nice warmer days we sit on the patio and enjoy the weather. Waiter today went above and beyond running the front room like it's nothing. I have never had a bad experience here which is why I will keep coming back.

Food was delicious! Was a little slow getting the food to our table. We were not in a hurry so that wasn't a problem. But it could be if you have a schedule. We will return. The German potatoes were so good.
