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.

    We’ve been 3 times and each subsequent visit we had worse service and, after this last visit, we will not go back. The food has been consistently good, but the service has been disappointing.

    Parking was very difficult since there was no sign telling people that they could park across the street if the lot was full. This was my first visit there and I did not know that and struggled to find parking in the surrounding area. Receptionist didn't seem to think that this was a big deal but it was to me.

    Small portions...for the price. Two deviled eggs for $12, minimally filled. Fun experience, however!!

    On a weekday mid morning, only a few tables in the restaurant and took over 30 minutes to get our food. Our waitress was inattentive and barely spoke. Had an attitude about the questions we had. Food was good but had few menu options for breakfast. Will try again with hopes that service improves. The latte was absolutely delicious and the restaurant was adorable. Quiet place to grab a bite to eat, which speedway definitely needs!

    The ambiance was "quirky diner/neighborhood gem." The service, from the host who greeted us, to the cook who told us goodbye when we left, was really great. The cocktails were inventive and on point. Off of the menu, the griddled cornbread, brussels sprout salad, and pork belly were particular standouts. Lastly, definitely check out their market, which had a number of baked goods and other cool stuff as well. I can't wait to go back and bring some friends!!
