Blue Willow Restaurant & Gift Shop

Awesome from start to finishSuper tasty foodClean and friendly Busy and a bit noisy Great serviceI'd totally go back

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.

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.

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!

I highly recommend you ordering this. Mac, made mine and it's hard to beat.It's much better than Starbucks, in my opinion.

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!

This place actually has some good items, but I have two complaints: Their huevos rancheros are served on something so hard, it is truly difficult to break them with your fork. They are truly vile. And serving a drink in a mason jar is not charming; it's revolting. Blue Willow as a name might conjure imagery of the Chinese plate ware. I wish that was a fitting association. This place needs to step up a level. It's low on my list of places to eat out.

"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.comWhere 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!

Went for brunch today and was very surprised to see that they are charging an extra $1.50 for egg dishes, pancakes, french toast and a slice of cake. I ordered the plain pancake with an egg on the side. I was charged an extra $1.50 for the pancake and extra $1.50 for the one egg! The food and service were fine - but we won't be back due to the crazy surcharge.
