Founded in 1973 the first Keys Cafe opened its doors for the first time in St. Paul, Minnesota on Raymond Avenue. Barbara Hunn founded this first adventure, refining and improving her successful formula until the second Keys opened in New Brighton in 1983.

Together with her family, the Keys Cafes have expanded to seven Twin Cities locations and have been recognized and awarded both locally and nationally for their fine food.

The Keys Cafe philosophy is simple, memorable service and absolutely the best food…breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts created from scratch recipes “you grew up with."

Not a new addition to the family, but a recent change is Key's at the Foshay, which previously was located around the corner on the Nicollet Mall. The recent change has brought the first full service Bar into the Keys family.
