Great breakfast spot! I had blueberry lemon curd hot cakes with sausage & arugula sausage. It was so good. The pancake is a dense batter. Different, but good. The dressing on the arugula was so subtle. I ate all of it first. Creamer for my coffee was served in the cow.

Stopped at the Blue Willow Cafe on our way back to Austin. The mostly white interior gives this charming restaurant a country home feeling. The menu had plenty of choices making it difficult to decide. I decided on the smoked salmon bagel with breakfast potatoes (home fries). I throughly enjoyed my breakfast and the smoked salmon was one of the best I've had in TX. My wife enjoyed the farm house breakfast with bacon and the potatoes. Eggs were cooked nicely,bacon was thick and cooked well but not crispy. The toast, fresh baked and thick. They were busy and we did have to wait for coffee but overall our server was pleasant. This is a solid 4.5s! All the food coming out looked delicious. A definite must try. Also, take time to enjoy the vibe outside.

Perfect meal perfect service, perfect meal. Sunday is breakfast only. It was so good we dug in and ate it all before I could take pictures of our food! Ordered the cream baked oatmeal. It had lots of fresh berries served with it. It is large! We also ordered the steak and eggs. It came with a half of avocado, a slice of their in house baked bread, we got the side of arugula salad. wow! Oh and you get a side with the oatmeal and we got fresh fruit. Shared it all and it was fantastic! Waitress was cheerful and helpful. She said to try the French toast next time. It is made with the site baked bread. We will be back!

I give this high marks for being a cute little cafe with extremely friendly staff and a fresh new menu. The hot cakes are just that 1 inch thick each and they pile them 3 high per order. Definitely filling. The French toast was great with the fresh bread. Large portions on every plate. I ate here 10 years ago and it was dark and dingy, needed to be freshened up and it has been. Amazing what a little paint can do. Prices are reasonable.

Nothing can divide people like politics - and maybe pancakes. Had the pleasure of brunching at Blue Willow today in adorable Burton. We knew the service might be slow based on previous reviews (it was) but we weren't in a hurry - just hungry. The staff was friendly- just busy and understaffed in the front and maybe in the kitchen as our food took a very long time to come out. And here's where the pancake controversy comes in. I decided to splurge and have the blueberry lemon curd pancakes. Just the idea of what I thought they would be delighted me! I went with bacon and breakfast potatoes and a peach tea. Companion did classic pancakes with fruit and sausage and a coffee ( just one cup as no refills were offered). The breakfast potatoes were maybe the best ever - perfectly fried potatoes. Some might have liked seasoning but they were so well cooked, I was glad they weren't competing with heavy seasoning. Very small portion but A+. The two strips of bacon were fine. Now the pancakes - I guess my expectations were too high. I envisioned hot fluffy, light golden sweet pancakes with a creamy generous layering of lemon curd and blueberry compote and fresh blueberries- maybe lightly sprinkled with powder sugar or topped with a dollop of homemade cream with fresh blueberries and lemon zest. This was not that. The cakes were very dense, not very sweet and the lemon curd and blueberry layering was "gently" done. Some may love them like this but I prefer a little more decadence for this kind of carb and calorie splurge. But I would have eaten those potatoes all day. My companion felt similar on her classic cakes. They were very dense, not very sweet and pretty dry and tough. The sausage patties were tasty. The fruit was fruit. Maybe we ordered wrong. Maybe our expectations were too high. Maybe our pancake aspirations are unrealistic. In any case, I'd still go and give this cute place a try - just don't be in a hurry.

I stumbled across this restaurant on a drive through Burton and decided to check it out. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. We sat outside because it was such a nice day. But there's plenty of indoor seating as well. The servers are really nice and attentive. We started with an ice coffee and peach lemonade- both delish! Then we ordered the bourbon peach pecan French toast and the blueberry lemon pancakes. They were awesome and so flavorful. Plus, really big portions. I got the side of potatoes, they were sooo good! Do yourself a favor and check out this place!

Stopped at this cute cafe after picking. up my nephew at Camp For All. A must if you are out this way. We had the Lemon curd blueberry pancakes, salmon Benedict and Peach Bourbon French toast. The sauce on the Benedict was AMAZING. Wish they sold it in a jar. The pancakes and French toast were a guilty delight. The only pic I was able to take was the leftover Lemon Curd Blueberry pancakes (I was so full) The servers were so sweet. They were extra attentive. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy. Attention to the details from the ceramic trays used for the kid's meals to the super cute ceramic cow creamers. Overall, great breakfast experience!!!

We were driving to Austin and found this place on Yelp. We enjoyed the small town feel. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff was great. Highly recommend the coffee, yogurt and fruit. I enjoyed the huevos rancheros but my husband did not. We enjoyed a lemon blueberry muffin after our meal. I'd definitely come back!
