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.

The market is perfect for meeting friends, working remotely, or having a quick business meeting over a latte.

As always the service and food were excellent. Ive had a few things on the menu and all have been tasty, fresh and hot. My favorite thing on the menu is the “fried to order donuts”. I look forward to coming back soon because those donuts are fire.

We were a party of 7 adults and 2 children celebrating a birthday. It was a great family time with outstanding food and efficient and friendly service. Highly recommend Borage for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And don’t miss the bakery

Beautiful inviting environment, locally sourced and made from scratch yummy entrees and baked goods, full and complete coffee, tea and alcohol and non-alcoholic beverage bar!! And when I say from scratch, even the jam you get for your toast, is made by the Borage bakery from scratch and changes as what's fresh and tasty changes. Come see the baked goods being made as you watch. The Cafe essentially has a static menu of favorites and an ever changing list of specials. As a frequent flyer, the satisfying thing is that one never knows what taste treats will be available from one week to the next. But, from what we've found, whatever is on special will indeed be a treat!

It was our first time at this restaurant. The deviled eggs were delicious. The entrées were good size portions, and deliciously interesting combinations.

The atmosphere was bright and cozy, complete with a lovely diner-style counter to watch the kitchen team in action. Our server, Robin, was lovely and warm, and made us feel very “at home.” My favorite dish of the evening was the Venison Tartare, tossed with diced cornichon, mustard seed, and fine herbs. The mixture was topped with gooey egg yolk and set on a bed of grape jam (surprisingly delicious combo for a tartare dish!), and paired with perfectly toasted brioche bread. I visited for dinner this time and I can’t wait to go back to try their brunch menu!
