For the ultimate feels-like-home/tastes-like-heaven dessert, check out the sour cream chocolate cake at the Blue Willow."           Kathleen Allen, Arizona Daily Star, 03/2007 

"This charming cafe that's blessed Tucson since 1978 is a great home base for vegetarians seeking hearty sandwiches, salads and healthy lunch and dinner fare. (It even puts soy bacon bits on its spinach salad.  Props for that.)  It's imperative that every veggie try the sliced apple salad.  It's fresh, it's fruity, yet hearty enough to fill you up as you relax on the shaded patio that's central to the cafe."

"Blue Willow has earned its reputation as a hot spot for breakfast in Tucson.  The food is good.  The bright atmosphere is charming and the cheery crowd is refreshing, like waking up to a beautiful, blue Tucson sky and enjoying a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice."
                                                 Jenny Hunsperger, Tucson Citizen, 2006

 "At the Blue Willow, a large orange juice is actually large.  Not a thimble full.  Not a sippy cup.  Large and freshly squeezed.  That fact alone makes it worthwhile, but once you have the chicken omelet with green chiles, or the crepes, you'll know that you're in the right place."                                                                          Tucson Citizen, 2005

  "The patio is so secluded and serene that you'd never guess it's so close to Campbell Avenue.  Grab a piece of the sour-cream chocolate cake and stay a while."

 "A Tucson institution for the last 20 years, Blue Willow set the standard for wholesome fare a la '70s: omelets, quiche, crepes, homemade soups and tofu scrambles.  Today the restaurant continues to shine due to a joyful dedication to quality and a chocolate du jour dessert dish that hits the spot every time.  Great outdoor patio and nifty gift shop.

"The covered outdoor patio, with its brick floors, ample greenery and burbling fountain, remains as inviting as ever, and is still equipped with heaters for those seaking fresh air, but not winter's chill. "                                         Rebecca Cook, Tucson Weekly, 1999

"I've given up smoking, drinking and a handful of other things that are BAD FOR ME, but the Blue Willow remains a healthy addiction.  My friends don't even ask where I want to meet them for dinner - or lunch or breakfast, come to think of it."
                                                                      Pam Parrish, Arizona Daily Star 1989

"Despite all the creative things its chef does with eggs, cheese and vegetables, the most appreciated facet of the Blue Willow restaurant is that it's one of the few places in town where one can enjoy a light healthful meal  - with wine - and feel totally comfortable in clean jeans and sandals."                           Barbara Griffin, The Arizona Daily Star, 1980
