About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Innovative
  • 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.

    It's never a dull moment at Borage, always some exciting things to try at the cafe. My better half enjoyed the frittata, while I had the special beer brat eggs Benedict, which was one of the best bites I ever tasted. Got some fresh veg and other supplies from the market before we left. A real neighborhood gem!

    Hunter provided excellent service for three newbies to the cafe. We tried different options and all were good. I enjoyed the Espresso Root Beer Float but don’t expect much root beer flavor because the espresso overwhelms. Still delicious. The Gyros had tons of lamb. We would all go back if in the area again.

    Always a great meal at Borage. The cafe special of a salume, chicken sausage & pepper sandwich on Zoes killer sourdough baguette was a delight.l

    I went with a group of coworkers after work and had a great experience! We all had different foods from the cafe menu - lots of good, creative options. After, we went to the market and bought some goodies to take home. Everything was so delicious! Our server was patient and kind.
