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.

Not sure where you could get a better value for your dining dollar than at Borage. The food is fantastic, the portions are huge, and the service is great. Go there on a Thursday, order the chicken dinner, and tell me I'm wrong. What a fantastic addition to the dining options in Speedway.

We love this restaurant! Invited friends for a holiday luncheon and it was perfect. Service is attentive. The delicious food is the Star! My guests enjoyed the Gooey Go let turkey sandwich with delicious thick turkey. Pimento cheese sandwich was a hit as were breakfast options.

Had a great time. Amazing food! Good service! Cool atmosphere. Only criticism would be that the tables are really close together, but that would not prevent me from going back.

Borage is unlike any other restaurant I have been. Every detail is well thought out. The food is of the highest quality. Praise to the owners for what they do and how they do it. Highly suggest you go. 10/10.

We had a table of 8. Everyone shared their apps and plates. The mussels are my new favorite along with the pavalova. Dana was our amazing server. We always feel so welcomed. Absolutely love the ambiance at night…romantic and festive

This was our first time at Borage. We loved the atmosphere and everyone was so friendly. We tried a few of the appetizers and I highly recommend the mushrooms. All of the food was great and our server was attentive and so nice. Can’t wait to go back!!

First time for several of us but won’t be the last. The food is the star of the show. Literally everything we had was wonderful. Rich Mac and cheese, delicious Brussels spouts, nice all day breakfast options. The bakery and cafe were amazing. Lattes and cookies. Service was quite good. Parking was a challenge and we later learned at night we can park across the street

This is such a hidden gem on the west side. Our team came here for dinner for the first time (we regularly come for lunch) and it did not disappoint! Very friendly staff, cool ambiance and delicious food. Highly recommend.
