About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for brunch
Chefs Josh Kline and Zoë Taylor bring vibrant, progressive American cuisine and freshly baked pastries to life at Borage. Located just a short walk from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, this café, bakery, and market works hand-in-hand with local Indiana farms to craft unique dishes, from reimagined classics to innovative options for both meat lovers and vegetarians.

Settle into the relaxed, diner-style café for a flavorful meal, or unwind in the market with a fresh pastry and a coffee beverage. The market is perfect for meeting friends, working remotely, or having a quick business meeting over a latte. You’ll also find fresh, locally-farmed meats and produce, and unique spices and products you won’t get at big-box stores.

After just a few months of being open, Borage was recently named to the Indianapolis Monthly Best Restaurants 2024 list. Come experience Borage for yourself and see why.

    Food and service were good. Companion noted the frittata lacked seasoning. There was an odd smoke or haze and my eyes watered profusely throughout our meal

    We need the crops to come in so they can vary the menu a bit.

    I feel like this place hasn't gotten all of the love it deserves. The food is outstanding and we all agreed we would love to return.

    Hidden culinary gem tucked away in Speedway! My husband and I popped in for dinner expecting diner food with a twist. No— not even— artfully delicious deviled eggs, Moroccan-spiced cauliflower fried to crispy flavorful perfection, Cuban pork and black beans, and a burger stacked sky high with handcut fries that my husband could not finish. Save room for dessert! The brownie sundae was such a treat with rich chocolate, layers of ice cream, passion fruit, and ultra creamy homemade whipped cream. This place will keep surprising us with each visit. This west side girl will be back for sure ♥️🏁.

    Borage is a true GEM of our city! Truly exquisite meals every time we've been. Cannot recommend it enough. The Donuts with lime sugar are our top recommendation!

    Service was average. Felt very rushed like they were trying to turn our table although there were many open seats available. Food was amazing.

    We loved the unique menu. We also enjoyed sitting on the patio on this beautiful evening. I will need to save room for dessert next time. They looked amazing!
