Blue Willow Restaurant & Gift Shop

Had a nice dinner here on our first visit. Nice cozy atmosphere in a charming old house. The gift shop is interesting and eclectic. All our entrees were well-prepared and delicious. Friendly service. Outdoor dining is available.

Our goto brunch spot when in town for El Tour de Tucson. Love the sonoran benedict but also a lot of specials and baked goods to choose from. Satisfied the sweet tooth with the creme brulee donut to accompany my savory benedict. IT gets busy so there can be a wait but so worth it!

Had a wonderful brunch here with my fiancé! Loved the outdoor/indoor setting, and as someone who gets hot very easily, the fans and misters kept me cool. Diverse menu and delicious food! Not to mention the cute little store you can pass through on your way out! I’ll definitely be back for more!

Good service, everything came out fast, I try the ice mocha with oat milk was good! Also the Benedict eggs with a poblano sause on top with potatoes I recommend this one and the chili soup is really good. They have a nice gift shop.

We had a pleasant lunch. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. One person got angry at me for walking through a waiting area on my way to the restroom. The selection on the menu was excellent. I was able get the exact lunch I wanted. So did my mother. Mother was able to get the exact drink to mark the occasion. Nice food, nice people (except for the stiff arm lady) excellent selection and excellent service. I would highly recommend you try the place. Just be careful of that lady on your way to the bathroom!!

YAY to breakfast all day!! Something for everyone in our bunch; 89yr old vegetarian, hearty breakfast for 63 guy and quiche for moi. Garden vibe makes it cozy, cool and shady. Plan to browse the funky gift shop while you wait for your table. Oh … Raspberry iced tea super refreshing. We’ll be back!

Breezed in for brekkie after a drive from Bisbee. I still cannot believe we got Sunday brunch with excellent service and top tier plates within an hour. This place is a well oiled machine with a soul. Had the shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles; perfect portions (I just don't need to pony up to a family feed trough, thank youuuuu). Our server (Ernesto)was obviously pro; fun when I asked for it and just a deeply cool person. The the food was so well seasoned, there was no need for hot sauce. I would live and die for the buttery buffalo sauce they served me with my chicken. The grits were creamy without drowning and the shrimp were perfect. I know this place is an institution. I've eaten here off and on for decades so it's cool to see a stalwart maintain this hard from the top down. I'll recommend this place, annoyingly and for ages to come. 14/10

A wonderful friend and I had a superb experience this afternoon for our breakfast/lunch choices. I enjoyed the Tofu Scramble with a side of brown rice and tortillas while my friend had the Two Eggs Any Style dish with a side of fruit. We also had the Hummingbird cake. Our server was Anthony J., he was truly awesome in every way. He was very patient while we decided what to eat/drink, and attentive as well as friendly the entire time. We both also cherished the warm comforting environment and the adorable gift shop as well.

So, my first time there. You have to enter and exit through a gift shop. Place has many different rooms & when we entered, we were told to seat ourselves. Kinda overwhelming if you've never been there before.... Just have no clue where to go, turn right, go outside? Idk! We sit outside and were greeted by a young man. I can't recall if he got our drinks or someone else. We watched him serve every one around us... then a young lady came out of no where and took our order. Our food came and we never saw that young woman again, having no idea who our actual server was!? The first guy came back over and asked if everything was fine.... We said 'ya' and then asked if we could get our check from someone. He gave us our check. All in all, the food was good, the place was nice, but the service was just weird. Absolutely no offense, but I think it's funny they have compostable straws but have their butter individually wrapped (you need to unwrap 50 to put them on your nine dollar pancake) and put their ketchup in plastic toss out containers. I'll probably return if I'm on that side of town again.

We have been flying in to Tucson, just to sample as much food here as possible. One our favorite places is the Blue Willow. They really have a innovative menu with interesting combinations that are top notched. One of our favorites is the Sonoran Benedict, which features Cornbread topped with Carnita. It is absolutely amazing. Another favorite is their Gruyere Mac and Cheese, very harty and creamy. Do not forget to visit their gift shop on your way out, some really unique and hilarious books and socks! Well worth visiting!

Blue Willow is such a cute little spot on Campbell! I love that you walk through a charming gift shop before getting to the restaurant -- it sets such a cozy vibe. The staff was super friendly, though it was pretty busy when we went, so service wasn't quite as attentive as it could've been. I ordered the poblano chicken, which comes with mashed potatoes and the daily vegetables. The food itself was fabulous -- I ate every bite! That said, the presentation could use a little work. The plate looked a bit plain. Today's veggies were sliced zucchini and squash, which tasted great, but it could really use a pop of color -- something like bright green broccoli or some red bell peppers would make the dish look a lot more appetizing. It was my friend's birthday, so we brought our own cake, and the staff was very kind to let us do that (which I appreciated!). But when the check came, I was a little surprised to see a $9 "plate charge" for the cake. I totally get that there's a policy like that, but I just wish it had been mentioned up front. When I see unexpected charges on a bill, it feels a little sketchy. All in all, I'll definitely come back -- the food and atmosphere were great. Just a note to the restaurant: please explain any extra charges before the bill comes out. It makes a big difference!

Came back once again and tried their Nutella French toast. Everything was amazing as usual.

Very cute place with an amazing service! We set in their patio. It was early enough in the morning not to mention they have some fans set up so it feels pretty comfy. They had their AC cranked up indoors. The food was yummy and served promptly. I wanted to buy everything in their cute gift shop!

Decided on Blue Willow after not being there for quite a while. The service was amazing. The gift shop was amazing. The only thing that was a little disheartening was that I wanted their brunch pot pie and they were out. Wanted the vegan dessert and they were out. It was 11 am on a Tuesday. Carnitas were tasty and not at all greasy. The dish pictured was very tasty... Just needed to be hotter (served lukewarm).

Loved this restaurant and gift shop! I ordered the quiche of the day and it was absolutely delicious! The service was fast and it's the cutest place. I could not leave the gift shop without gifts for my nieces. I can't wait to go back and try other menu items!

1 word 3 syllables, a-maz-ing. What a great spot Blue Willow is. This has been a Tucson staple for decades and it's not going anywhere. I have yet to have a bad server or service yet. The food has been exceptional every time. If you're a fan of trinkets and witty items, you'll love browsing around the gift shop. The environment, both indoors and outdoors, is some of the best I've seen in Tucson. The outdoor seating is my favorite with the exceptional greenery and simple layout. I will continue to return for years to come!

A go to in Tucson. It's been around for so long and the food is consistent. I always order the 3 egg omelette with chicken, Swiss, and spinach with fried potatoes and toast. I used to order cinnamon raisin toast but it's now 60 cents more. Service is quick with water and menus. If there is a wait, the gift shop is well stocked with unusual items/gifts and greeting cards. The chocolate sour cream cake is the best!

If you're seeking a charming spot in Tucson that seamlessly blends boutique charm with delightful dining experience you have to check this place out. They have so many quirky knickknacks and a cozy, eclectic feel. I saw so many things I wanted to purchase yet I chose the prickly pear honey... yum and a honeybee necklace. I actually stopped in for dinner with my mom and we indulged in the tostada and the chicken and waffles both dishes arrived promptly and were absolutely delicious. The tostada was generously topped and bursting with flavor, while the chicken and waffles struck a perfect balance between crispy and tender, complemented by a delightful hint of sweetness. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. Beyond the boutique they have both indoor and outdoor seating options, making it ideal for various occasions, whether you're enjoying a sunny brunch or a cozy dinner. Their extensive menu caters to a wide range of tastes, offering everything from hearty Tex-Mex dishes to fresh salads and vegetarian options. When I first heard the name of this restaurant it screamed brunch or cafe. To my surprise they offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner, ensuring you can satisfy your cravings at any time. This café's unique ambiance and delectable offerings make it a standout choice and I can't wait to come back and try their breakfast.

Took my daughter and aunt here for lunch. Overall enjoyed our meals. Service was a bit disappointing. I think I paid 2.50 for a roll and butter. Lol We loved shopping the gift shop before and after lunch.

I have been going o the willow for 21 years . Love the gift shop . Last time I was there it was so sad . When I door dashed them last night after getting out of the hospital I was so happy to get their chicken pot pie . I took a fork right into it and nearly gagged on chicken bone . What happened to you blue willow ???? I'm just sad another restaurant gone bye bye

Absolutely delicious and the ambiance matches the food perfectly. I dragged my mom here the other day when P&P was closed, and I was reminded of why this place is so well love here in Tucson. My chai was spiced and like a warm hug. My chicken was perfectly fried and everything on the plate made sense and was delicious. And I will have dreams about their chocolate cake Not a single complaint. Our meal was amazing.

Stopped by Blue Willow for my first time and really enjoyed the food. I had the Blue Willow Special which was hearty and filling, while my girlfriend went with the blackened shrimp and grits--both dishes were tasty and came in generous portions. I also ordered a mocha latte with oat milk, which was made perfectly (not too sweet). We were seated quickly and the staff was friendly throughout. The atmosphere is a little crunchy for my personal taste, but the quality of the food and service are great. Definitely worth a visit!

I came in for lunch. It's seat yourself, so I quickly found a small table. Dinning area was clean and so was the bathroom. My waitress Amelia was attentive and courteous. I ordered the Sonoran Benedict and chose potatoes for my side ($15) and plain French toast ($10). The Sonoran Benedict was green chile corn cakes with carnitas, poached eggs and poblano cream sauce. Every bite needed to be doused in tobasco to elevate the flavors. The poblano cream sauce was too creamy and didn't have a distinct taste. The corn cake was okay but needed more something. It was underwhelming. The carnitas was also under seasoned and underwhelming. The potatoes were perfectly seasoned but had a strange texture like rubbery. As if they'd been seared then steamed. Plain challah french toast was okay. It was dry. On a scale 1-5 I would give all my food a 2.7. Definitely a bummer I feel this place used to really deliver on flavor. The Sonoran Benedict had tons of positive reviews across platforms. Which is why I tried it. I won't be back.

"Brunch goes with drinking culture like peanut butter goes with jelly. Not only did brunch popularize day-drinking, but it's also the genesis of several popular daytime cocktails, including the Mimosa and Bloody Mary. It is actually attributed with spreading the practice of mixing alcohol with juices. In the early to mid-1900s brunch offered a platform for socially acceptable day-drinking." ― boredwalk.com Where else can you buy a quartz crystal, a cactus Christmas tree ornament, and a strawberry hair clip with your brunch? Flowers for Alvernon ($10 - Agave tequila, grapefruit, fresh mint, lemon, agave hibiscus syrup with a Tajin rim): The perfect drink to start your summer's day. It's been a while since I've had a well-balanced cocktail and who would have thought that this cozy eclectic brunch spot in Tucson would have me enthusiastically cheersing with everyone at the table? The flavors worked and kept me cool while we dined al fresco under a giant yellow umbrella. Blackened Shrimp and Grits ($15 - Buttery country-style grits with blackened shrimp and creole sauce): Who wouldn't want a plate of crusted seared shrimp and buttery grits? This hit all the savory notes I was craving that morning and thinking about that gorgeous char on the shrimp has me salivating as I type up this review. Leave your diet at the door. Their menu has so many great items that I wanted to try, so I guess that means I'll be back! Don't forget to stop by their gift shop on the way out. I saw plenty of things that are perfect for gift giving.

I'm kind of delightful time at Blue Willow! It has quite a homey feel which I enjoyed. The inside was bright and spacious. We ordered the brunch special, which was a bacon hash with a mimosa. The food came out quickly, and it tasted awesome. I was particularly struck by how fresh the herbs were. The hash browns were cooked to perfection, the over medium egg yolk added a real sumptuous quality to the dish. The mimosa was the chef's kiss! It was all very adorable and great quality for the price point. I think the only thing that would have made my meal better was a great salsa to accompany it. We will be back!

Thank you Blue Willow and staff for great food and service for a group of 24 of us celebrating the life of a dear friend that passed suddenly. You were all wonderful!!!

Very cute restaurant with outside patio and a very nice gift shop. The food (lots of healthy options), drinks and service were all wonderful. Ordered a quiche that came with potatoes (to die for) and a little bowl of fruit. Their chai latte was delicious and refreshing. I just felt that the place is a little outdated but overall great experience.

Super cute restaurant. From outside it looks like a tiny restaurant but I was surprised to see the size of the restaurant plus they have a shop as well. As for food, I absolutely loved my salmon cake. My only complaint was the temperature. It could be hotter. ( I like my food HOT but I know not everybody does) I can't wait to go back there and try other items

This restaurant is actually an adorable historic house. It has the cutest gift shop in the entrance with unique gifts. We sat on the patio and with the heaters on low it was just perfect. Served was friendly and made some suggestions when we asked about the menu items. I had the hibiscus sunrise mocktail which was delicious and presented with a cute sugar rim. I also ordered the tostada with shredded chicken and it was so good. The portion was large too- I was able to get 3 meals out of it. I will definitely be back!

First time at blue willow! Had lunch here and it was such so delicious. I ordered the Blueberry lavender lemonade and a chicken vegetable stir fry as well as a mixed berry crepe. My friend ordered a tostada salad and it was huge! My food was a big portion as well and had so much flavor and the veggies were cooked perfectly. I would order this again! Service was wonderful and loved the gift shop as well!

I would definitely recommend calling ahead and reserving a table if you were planning to eat here. We ate here on a Wednesday morning, and every single table was reserved ahead of time. Our service was great and our server was very attentive. It appears that they have limited seating inside for large parties so most likely you will be eating on their covered patio. They have plenty of fans and a swamp cooler, but prepare to be hot if you are eating in the middle of the day during the summer. I really like the vibe of the restaurant. They have some really cool peacock lamps outside. I wish they sold them because I wanna own some myself. My table got a mix of breakfast plates, but it seemed like everyone's favorite was the Sonoran Benedict.

This place was very very cute and had the perfect cozy and homey environment- with a very nice gift shop. The options were endless with sweet and savory breakfast and lunch options. I got the hot chicken sandwich and my friend got one of the biggest cinnamon roll pancakes I have ever seen. The waiters were all super sweet and gave us their recommendations and advice and got our food and drinks out quick despite the busy brunch hour. We will definitely be coming back as their were about 8 other things we each wanted off the menu!

We went here for brunch after a morning of errands. I wish it was closer to where we live on the eastside, as there are lots of yummy choices for breakfast and lunch, as well as a fun gift shop!. I chose the Blue Willow Scramble with a side of greens and sourdough toast. They were happy to put the chopped tortillas on the side. My husband had carnitas on an eggs Benedict dish. Mine was a full plate of eggs and cheeses, with delightful sourdough toast. The salad was basically mixed greens with a side of dressing. They have a beautiful patio, but we chose to sit inside. Our server was attentive.

Really great dishes. Especially the huevos rancheros or sonoran Benedict carnitas. They have a beautiful enclosed patio and a really fun gift shop. The lattes and desserts are good.

Always great food at a really cute place . The little gift shop has some cute smarty pants gifts for your weird friends lol Have eaten lunch and breakfast and never been disappointed

To be honest, I was a little skeptical about the food and the ambience of the location of the restaurant however, when we walk through the gift shop hours, very surprised I got the cinnamon roll pancake, and it was absolutely delicious. My partner got a breakfast burrito which was filled with flavor and one of the best breakfast burritos I have had in Tucson this restaurant is a must go for breakfast

A very pleasant, local business my friend wanted to share with me for breakfast on a Monday morning. The food was great and service as well where I'm certain the wait staff knew I was visiting. The ambience very pleasant and surroundings filled with local art. Gift shop small, but also filled with local products. We enjoyed our time together, and upon our return to Tucson, we will be back. If I could give this a 4 1/2 star review, that's where it belongs. Photographs included is a specialty omelette.

A Tucson classic, I have watched this business stroll over the years, and I've never ever had a bad experience there. My first time loving tofu was here with the spinach and tofu breakfast dish. They also have a savoy crepe that will knock your socks off. Bring extra money for the outstanding gift shop.

my favorite place, the health food is delicious the fried tofu with rice and vegetables affordable problem you can get a small little big dish. your option. service is always wonderful, kind yet professional. the ambiance is relaxing, peaceful and lovely outside area when weather permits. thank you for a comfortable place to go, and to feel safe going alone I would often bring something to write and or read. the gift store is fabulous, with unique gifts, cards. sincerely, Carly Justin Worth

Wait staff really great, hostess helpful getting us in as we both use walkers. So nice, accommodating, and friendly. My friend had huevos rancheros, very tasty but almost impossible to cut up and eat. It would be great to break up the tortillas under the beans and eggs so that they can be eaten too. I decided to take a chance on something different: bad idea! I had the panko crusted chicken and waffle. It was really awful. The tiny waffle was weirdly mushy on one end and hard and grainy at the other. It just was tasteless and unpleasant. There was nothing redeeming about the dish, so I'm just posting to warn you away from it. I've heard Popeyes has it down if that's what you crave. Don't waste your money on chicken and waffle at Blue Willow, terrible.

We were visiting with family and were looking for a cool spot for dinner with good ambiance & my Aunt recommended this swanky place! She had just eaten there the day before with her daughter, they were just driving by & went in to try it out. They said it was amazing so we had to try it! My sister and I went there for dinner and it was everything they said and more! The Server we had was friendly, funny and super helpful with the menu. I had the shrimp scampi and it was so delicious and the flavors just outdid any other scampi that I have had. Their Blueberry Lavender Lemonade is to die for! It was so good we had to go back for breakfast! That was a 10 too! Obviously we highly recommend this restaurant for a phenomenal meal and great atmosphere!

Blue Willow is a staple stop on my annual Sonoran Restaurant Week tour. This year's menu might be the best yet. The butternut squash bruschetta was one of the best things I've ever eaten, and the green chile tamale pie was also delish. I'm not a bourbon fan, but our lovely server encouraged me to give the welcome cocktail a try, and it was very tasty! My dining mate has the chorizo stuffed chicken and was also very happy with her meal. Blue Willow is one of my favorite Tucson restaurants and they outdo themselves every year during Sonoran Restaurant Week. Don't miss out on this year's menu!

I have been coming to Blue Willow for Almost 40 years and it never disappoints. The cinnamon bun pancake is unreal! Breakfast burrito is huge! The chorizo potatoes with cheese sauce is a new favorite. Many of us had the different mimosas which was a great start to our day. I can't forget to mention that the chicken salad on croissant is one of my fave sandwiches! And the adorable shop with awesome eclectic items just makes the place so special and unique. The patio is just perfection on a beautiful day .

Beyond excellent. OLD school service, scrumptous food. Healthy & who can resist the gift shop? & the take away bakery. Always exceptional - best memories dining there. My favorite. The patio feels like going on vacation! Don't miss it !

Their breakfasts are pretty straight forward. I opted for the no frills two egg breakfast with sausage patty and a delicious cinnamon roll pancake. Everything came out fairly quickly and the egg breakfast was as expected. The pancake was delicious. The pancake was the same size as a dinner plate and came with the cinnamon roll frosting drizzled on top. This pancake didn't need any syrup as it was sweet enough on its own. It was soft and buttery too, automatically becoming my favorite pancake. I had tried Blue Willow once before, during covid. I ordered takeout and I thoroughly enjoyed my quiche. It was cheesy and rich with a nice, flaky crust. I don't recall how the rest of my order tasted, but just like the cinnamon roll pancake, the quiche was a winner too. The food here is solid and the gift shop is truly an added bonus.

Everything.! I always come here with out of towers. Bedt local vibe, service and food.

Awesome from start to finish Super tasty food Clean and friendly Busy and a bit noisy Great service I'd totally go back

I ate here several years ago and had a delicious breakfast. I was looking forward to a return visit, but was severely disappointed. I ordered Eggs Benedict. They were pathetic. The Hollandaise sauce was tasteless. The side of potatoes looked like leftovers. Worst of all, when my partner and I arrived home, my body immediately tried to purge itself of this food. I thought it was just me, but then my wife started to complain about being queasy. She ended up going to bed and is still not feeling well today.

We randomly decided to stop here for lunch on Saturday. It was 100 degrees out and I was hesitant to sit on the patio but even with the heat the fans plants and cover made it a welcoming environment.it was a tad busy when we arrived so we hung out in the gift shop before being seated. There are some very entertaining things in there if you look good place to buy gifts for people with a sense of humor in your life. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on sourdough instead of the croissant that came with mixed greens and for me the unexpected star of this plate was the greens and the delicious house dressing (I almost asked for more dressing to go). The iced latte was on point and our server very attentive. I think k I may prefer this spot for lunch over breakfast... but I will be back to try more items.

A staple breakfast spot. My favorite part has to be the amazing outdoor patio where you can sit. The food was very delicious, the offer the breakfast classics but also have some specialty items that were great! I had the blue willow special and was able to sub out one of the items. The side potatoes and tortilla were okay. I tried my friends sonoran benedict and it was delicious! I would probably order that next time. The latte was also okay but overall everything was good. The staff was very friendly and helpful, would definitely come back!

Cute spot with classic comfort eats done right. The burrito was MASSIVE but not overwhelming (I definitely ate it all). The chicken was cooked to absolute perfection as well. The salsa appeared house made and was delicious. Service was attentive and kind and the gift shop is dangerous in the best way with perfect gifts for friends... or yourself

Blue Willow has a Easy menu everything has always been delicious. I Got the chorizo and egg plenty of food. if you haven't tried, you should put it on your list. Check it out enjoy.

We really enjoyed Blue Willow! The food was delicious, and the service was good. The ambiance in the store is amazing, i love the gift shop as well!

Great dinner!! We got the chicken and waffle, poblano chicken, pesto panini and meatloaf. All amazing!!! The grilled poblano chicken was moist and the sauce was subtle but tasty

Such a lovely place with great food! The gift shop is small but has a good selection to find things that you didn't know you needed. I would definitely go back there for brunch and gift shopping.

This restaurant does not disappoint. I usually have breakfast but decided to try lunch. Ordered the Apple Harvest salad and it was delicious

We had the pleasure of dining at Blue Willow for the first time today. Ambiance was pleasurable. Service was fabulous. Food was fantastic. My partner had huevous ranchers. She said it was one of the best she had ever had. I had a 3 egg omelet that was very tasty. They also have Vegan options. All around great place. There is a nice patio for outdoor dining. We will definitely return!
