Blue Willow Restaurant

5 stars absolutely! The breakfast was incredible! Most delicious mimosa with grapefruit and prickly pear. To die for GF/Vegan cinnamon coffee cake. It was still warm! Absolutely delicious huevos rancheros. I added avocado Yum! Pinto beans. Way to go Blue Willow! Loved the darling seating area outdoors what felt like in a cool gardening shed. Beautiful plants. Cute art. Can’t wait to go back! Sorry it took so long for me to eat here for breakfast.

Just a heads up, Blue Willow on Campbell and Grant no long carries corn tortillas even though their menu states so and that’s what makes many of their meals GF. They now only have flour tortillas or vegan wheat tortilla. They still have Gluten Free Bread, but it goes in the same toaster as non-gf bread 😞 Potatoes seem to still be okay but always double check. They do have an amazing cinnamon pear coffee cake that’s GF and Vegan but from here on out, I’m always going to ask and verify when I order since their menu doesn’t seem to reflect actual ingredients.

We were just here several weeks ago and they still had corn. Was there today (10/8/22) and server informed as I ordered the Blue Willow Special (which says corn tortillas mixed in on menu) that it’s actually flour now. Thankful I mentioned I was celiac or they might’ve just served flour tortillas mixed in the breakfast without mentioning it! Hoping they change menu soon so people don’t unknowingly gluten themselves.

Really great service with outdoor patio dining. I ordered the gluten-free chili with a corn tortilla it was perfect. I also split a piece of gluten-free salted caramel cake with my friend, and we loved it.

Many options and never had issues here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The website talks about gluten free, but they have no gluten free bread - only corn tortillas. Since I also have a corn sensitivity, I was very limited in my food choices. Don’t go there if you’re GF and also can’t eat corn.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Extremely limited menu. We left without ordering

Great breakfast place! Beautiful little restaurant with plenty of gluten free options indicated in the menu.

Our son is attending UofA. Being GF for several years niw means even ablittle contamination is big for me. I have NEVER had a reaction eating here. Lots of choices and knowlegable staff. Glad for this place. :)))

Stopped by to order breakfast to go on menu #11. Wonderful meal and wonderful server as she's very responsive. I'd recommend you all to come to Blue Willow. The kind of environment you've all been looking for!

Super gluten free friendly breakfast stop in Tucson! They even have a gluten and vegan menu which has some delicious baked goods that taste so good I couldn't even tell thy were gluten free. If you go there I highly suggest the Blue Willow Special. Enjoy!
