Keys Cafe & Bakery

In November 1973, former registered nurse Barbara Hunn took a leap of faith and opened the first Keys Café on Raymond Avenue in St. Paul. What began as a dream quickly became a Twin Cities favorite, built on memorable hospitality and comforting made-from-scratch food.

Over the past 50 years, Barbara and her family have grown Keys Café to eight locations across the Twin Cities while staying true to the recipes and generous portions that made the restaurant a local institution. Along the way, they've earned recognition from Bon Appétit, Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, Minnesota Monthly and many others, culminating in Barbara's induction into the Minnesota Restaurant Association Hall of Fame in 2018. Through it all, they've remained committed to giving back, raising more than $700,000 for families in need through the Keys Charity Fund.

Now you can enjoy a taste of this Twin Cities favorite at home with Keys Café's Fresh Cookie Dough. Handmade locally in small batches using simple ingredients, each tub bakes up to 32 delicious cookies, making it easy to enjoy warm, homemade treats whenever the craving strikes.
