In 1973, the first Keys Café opened for business in St. Paul 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 Café have expanded to nine Twin Cities locations and have been recognized and awarded both locally and nationally for their fine food. The Keys Café philosophy is simple: memorable service and absolutely the best food ... breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and desserts created from scratch recipes "you grew up with".
