Olive's Vineyard Café - Willcox, Arizona

Olive Cafe is a hidden gem in Wilcox. It is located about 20 miles from I-10 but makes for a great lunch spot if you are driving by or if you are visiting any of the nearby monuments. We ordered the Italian sandwich in their focaccia bread, the seasonal bruschetta and pizza. The sandwich was as good as the sandwiches we have eaten in Italy! We also had their Sarah pizza and the flavors were delicious. The service was fantastic as well! Their patio is dog friendly. While there, we learned they also have two beautiful farm stays for overnight accommodation. This would be a great spot to stay for a day trip to Bisbee or to just go wine tasting in Wilcox with your friends.

Great new restaurant in the area. Enjoyed a GREAT bottle of wine and 2 delicious sandwiches on homemade focaccia. Seating is ample both inside and outside. Highly recommended if you’re going to Chiricahua or just passing through on I 10.

The prices for the food were surprising. I expected the Garden salad for $5 to be a small side salad, but what was delivered to our table was large and had cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions with proper dressing — for $5. The Veg sandwich was also large with complex ingredients made on delicious fresh focaccia bread and cost $13; the photo is of half the sandwich because I had already eaten the other half. The Sara pizza slice, for $8, was big and had a bunch of tasty cheeses melted on top (again, on fresh focaccia).

Then we paid $4 for a decent serving of ice cream, which was chocolate pistachio from a creamery nearby. Unfortunately, the pistachios were whole, and pistachios are difficult to chew within ice cream, so I do not recommend that flavor. I’m sure the lavender honey flavor is the way to go with the ice cream. Although, the $2 cookie is probably huge and tasty, too.

The food that I paid $30 for I would have paid $38 to $41 for. I believe the owner of the restaurant could modestly increase prices without losing business. I know wine and olives are a major factor of the business and locality, but the food and service at Olive’s is good enough that the food can stand on its own at higher prices. The hostess/chef was friendly and engaging. We also ordered a bottle of wine and received a classy bucket of ice water for it.

The interior is clean and modern and spacious; there is an outdoor seating area that wraps around the building. There’s a space of fake grass that has cornhole boards set up, as well.

We came here for Mother's day and had a wonderful experience. Great food, warm hospitality and we shared an amazing Malvasia pet nat from sand reckoner. They feature wines made from fruit grown on site and you can stare out at the vineyard from the cafe. Highly recommend visiting Olives.
