It's been about a year or so since Borage first opened and I finally got around to trying it out. First off, I love the vibes in here. It's giving cute, cozy, sunny brunch vibes. My boyfriend and I came on Mother's day (unintentionally) and we waited about 10-15 minutes to sit at the bar. Getting our orders taken & our food served definitely took a bit of time, but we enjoyed seeing all the cooks in action and getting to smell all the amazing smells!! I got Grandpa's one pan skillet and my boyfriend got the sausage breakfast sandwich on croissant bread. All I gotta say is those chefs definitely knew what they were doing! The flavors were unique and intentional and I enjoyed every bite. The home fries (potatoes) were also so yummy and everything was cooked really well. There's nothing basic about borage and I love that! This place is a gem. They also have a cafe/market area where you can order drinks and pastries. I wish we waited until we got seated to order drinks because the menu was much more extensive than what I saw in the cafe and I would have ordered a different drink had I seen all the other options. The staff here are also very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our little brunch and will be back with family next time! read more

Easily a top 3 brunch/cafe in Indy. Awesome space that has great ambiance and decor. The food is outside the box, but so delicious. For example, I got a breakfast Sammy on homemade pancake bread. Do not skip on the pastries or rosti (hash brown) Really fun and delicious drinks too! The service is solid for the busy crowd and they have friendly staff. 10/10 would recommend read more

A cute and delicious breakfast spot on the west side of Indy! We need more places like this over here! We took advice from other Yelpers and shared a giant cinnamon roll that was gooey and indulgent. I tried their seasonal banana bread latte and the special pancake breakfast sandwich. Never would've guessed dill pickles on a breakfast sandwich made with pancakes would work but it added zesty flavor and a good crunchy texture. You cannot reserve a table during brunch on the weekends, but we had no issue being seated immediately at 9 on a Sunday. They also have a little market attached with baked goods, fresh produce, snacks, gifts, and plants. read more

WHAT A GREAT PLACE! The bright colors and big smiles are so welcoming ! I have been seeing this establishment come across my Yelp feed, and I knew I had to try it. As soon as I walked in I got a whiff of the aroma and it was amazing. Though the menu is not big, I had a hard time going back and forth on what I wanted to try. I ended up with the loaded biscuit bowl, and it did not disappoint. It is not your ordinary biscuits and gravy, it's much more elevated with a hint of spice. Right up my alley. My drink did not disappoint either. I got the Max and Rhuby Highball tequila cocktail, and it was perfect. Not too sweet, but great flavor. The flies were the only thing that got under my skin...but I guess if they smelled that food, they wanted to try too. I can't wait to go back and try out their dinner! read more

I finally made my way to Borage this morning. The FOOD was delicious. The pancake was as big as the plate, airy and delightful. All the food was 1000/10. Our server Allie was pleasant and attentive. The inside and outside decorated with beautifully with different flowers outside. There is accessible parking and entry way but parking lot is small. Next time Im that way the will make to the market to get some take home pastries. read more

If you haven't been to Borage yet make it a goal for 26. It's a great addition to Speedway. It's a fun combination of a cafe, market and bakery. A very creative food and drinks menu with a focus on local ingredients. We went for breakfast and had Cinnamon Roll Lattes and Pistachio croissants. The croissant was one of the best I've had. Definitely want to go back for brunch and dinner next. read more

Stopped in after a 14 hour workday. I placed an order for fish and chips. The fish was decent. There were three decent size fillets. The fries were just average. I like the way the place is decorated. It also has a lot of local affair to purchase. It's a great place to stop if you need to pick up a quick gift. I was disappointed to see the man behind the bar area blow his nose and not wash his hands. I did wait for at least 30 minutes to get my food so that was the second disappointment. For $28 I thought the food could have been seasoned better. Not sure I will go back. This is the second time I've went in and neither time was I been impressed. read more

Picked up some breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and pastries, and I can't wait to go back and dine in. The market side is perfection - places to sit and hang, a bar area, and a wonderful selection of trinkets, produce, and to-go food. Such a fantastic vibe and perfect addition to the area. The coffee was delicious, the pastries were incredible, and the sandwiches were exactly what you want out of a breakfast sandwich. I can't believe it took us so long to try this place! Run by incredible people, which is always a plus, and there's a parking lot?! 10/10 go now read more

You ever go to a place and feel like you aren't even in your own city? Borage feels like a hip place that belongs in Chicago or NYC. The inside is so well designed. I ordered the all day breakfast and added the pancake. The food is great. The staff were kind as well. The market is a nice addition as well- I can see myself popping in here more than the restaurant for a quick treat. read more

Delicious food, cozy seating with eclectic decor, and excellent service. They don't take reservations for breakfast/brunch so don't be discouraged when you see no reservations available. We had the biscuits and gravy, a frittata, and the Turkish poached eggs with a hash brown. Everything was delicious. The Turkish eggs were just what I wanted, light and delicious. They could have used some salt, but I was too hungry to ask for it. The hash brown was incredible. Super crunchy and a little mushy inside. It's the gold standard hash brown, promise! The Bs&Gs were made with a bacon gravy, so different from the usual but equally delightful! I loved the dressing they used on the greens that accompanied the frittata. The frittata was great too! We like swinging by the market for a coffee and a pastry occasionally. Borage is a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

My husband picked up cinnamon rolls from here and brought them home. The rolls were really good. He called before going and said the person he spoke to was helpful. However, whoever helped him when he actually arrived, he said wasn't very friendly and actually a bit rude. Since we didn't eat in, I can't speak to the ambiance. read more

Great service. Cinnamon roll and psl brown butter latte was yummy!! $14 total Love to see places decorate for Halloween. Loved the no ice sign on the door. Love all the goodies in the shop.

I think I would be here weekly, maybe even daily if I lived close enough! Love that you can make reservations during the week for breakfast. Enjoyed the cinnamon roll late and the breakfast sandwich was incredible! Everyone I dined with loved their food and drinks! read more

Overall, we really like this place. It is a great spot because even if it's busy and there is a wait you can go over to the market that is connected and get a coffee and pastry while you wait. The cold brew is quite good and we got a cinnamon roll as well. The cinnamon roll was decent, I'm not a cream cheese person and if you are either, I wouldn't recommend it. But not bad. Service overall was just okay. I give them a pass because the place was pretty busy when we came in on Sunday. We were seated for over 10 mins before we got our order taken. If we didn't have coffee already, it would've been a little more annoying. When the waitress finally came, she just asked what we wanted to order and not "have you been in before" or explain the specials which was a little off putting. Also, when they dropped off the food they didn't ask if we got everything or needed anything additional. We also had to flag someone down to bring ketchup over. As far as food goes, we both had decent meals. We had the shakshuka and the biscuit bowl. The shakshuka was very spicy and good flavor which was good and the biscuit bowl was good as well. The biscuits seemed fresh and not smothered in gravy which as appreciated. Forgot to take a picture of the bowl before I dug in, sorry! :) We will definitely be back, but in all honesty disappointed in the service we got. read more

The start of my birthday month calls for Borage for breakfast! Started with the seasonal lattes and the humongous cinnamon roll. So very good! I had the matcha latte that had the perfect hint of orange. The cinnamon roll is a huge, gooey sponge of dough with the most delicious cream cheese frosting. We had the All Day Breakfast and the Frittata. The ADB never disappoints. Eggs of your choice, a sausage patty flavored with maple and fennel, toast hit the spot. Enough food to take home for a second breakfast! The frittata had roasted veggies and was topped with perfectly cooked bacon strips. A spring mix of salad was served as a side. The staff is super friendly. The atmosphere is bright, open and very clean. A must try! read more

A fabulous place in Indianapolis that has a Cafe and a market area that is attached. Some of the best pastries you have ever tasted. Great service at the coffee counter and a delicious espresso. I especially enjoyed the almond croissant. For lunch, I went with the roast beef, two eggs, and biscuits and gravy. The gravy was a standout poblano meaty concoction that is unlike any other biscuit gravy I have tasted. I would do that again in a heartbeat. Friendly service and not so loud that you cannot have a conversation with your seat mates. read more

I love this place! I walk down with my dog and grab a coffee at least once a week. Their brunch is delicious as well as their dinner. But I'm very fond of their grab and go items. The market is amazing - easy to go items that are upscale. I recently purchased their cinnamon roll ice cream - unbelievable!! Service is always friendly and the entire place is such a vibe, beautifully decorated. read more

The dessert and pastry section at Borage has been touched by God. Each item displayed is better than the next: burnt Basque poppy-seed cheesecake, giant gooey cinnamon rolls, fig leaf and berry olive oil cake, salted brownies. There are so many good things! I wanted one of everything. Almond croissants are my litmus test for any new bakery that I visit. So, that's what your girl got! The almond croissant at Borage is great, but keep in mind that there is a floral note to it -- I think it's orange blossom, but it might be rose? In any case, it tastes like almonds and flowers, which I don't mind, but might surprise other people. Borage has been in the back of my mind as a go-to place to visit ever since it opened. Today was a particularly auspicious day, and auspicious days call for visits to special places. Borage is a wonderful place to visit on any day, though. Borage is split into two parts: When you enter, to the left is the sit-down restaurant. On the right is the cafe and market. I only visited the market and cafe today, but I hope to return to visit the restaurant. The market has lots of fresh vegetables, as well as fancy and imported durable goods. I saw the usual shoppy-shop suspects: Fishwife tinned fish, Matheson Food Company barbecue sauce, squeezable bottles of olive oil with quirky labels. Plus, canned rose, compostable bags of smoked maldon sea salt, packages of imported candy. You will find many special food things at Borage. Borage has several places to sit and enjoy your dessert and/or coffee drink. Along with being a restaurant and a market, Borage is also a coffee shop, so we also got an espresso, which was as good as it was attractive. They know how to pull an espresso here. read more

Excellent food with a unique menu, making it stand out from other restaurants in the area. Love the open concept of the restaurant, mindfully decorated without being too much. Extra points for large patio with outdoor seating! Parking lot on property, great perk. Service was the only thing bringing the experience down. Hard to get coffee refills, didn't see our server for extensive blocks of time, a little frustrating but overall I will give it another try read more

I'm so happy I decided to try this location on a whim. There's ample parking across the street and I loved the eclectic decor and welcoming environment of this shop. The staff were very friendly and helpful- the barista helped me decide on the iced banana nut latte as they make the syrup in house. It was absolutely delicious and one I would consider a "comfort" drink. They had fresh veggies for sale and multiple freezers with food prepared to-go as well. I purchased a beautiful vase, house plant and planter as well. I'm looking forward to my next trip read more

Okay, so I've only been here once, but we loooooved it! It was a lot bigger than I expected and the ambiance is so fun, cute, and comfortable. We arrived for breakfast pretty early on a Saturday, so it was calm before the brunch rush. The food was great and I can't wait to return and try more. The server was friendly and helpful with explaining the menu regarding my gluten allergy. My husband couldn't stop talking about how good the fried-to-order donut was. They have a cute market area on the other side of the restaurant for coffee, bakery, goods, and drinks for more casual or quick service. I found some beautiful and unique greeting cards, along with other home goods and gifts. Everything seems to be created with heart and consideration for the guests that will enjoy it, from the high quality food and baked goods to the restaurant design. read more

Some of the best food I've had in a while! The home fries were crispy and all sides, soft in the center, and perfectly salty. I also had one of the best turkey sandwiches of my life. Thick turkey on flawlessly toasted house made bread. Chef's kiss! I also highly recommend ordering one of their signature cinnamon rolls for the table. They are massive, and the slightly lemony cream cheese icing works so well. This truly is the perfect place to go to brunch with the girls (or the guys). You know a place is good when you've already started talking about coming back before you're even done with your first meal! read more

Okay, this was our second time here. The first time we sat down and ate (it was amazing nonetheless). We were on this side of town for other reasons and decided to stop into the cafe for a coffee and pastry to try this time. Absolutely amazing. Everything was literally perfect and nothing made it home from the time we got in the car to the house. You need to try this place, whether you're there for a quick bite from their counter display, or sit down at the restaurant. read more

I finally made my way to Borage and wow, this place is so much more than I expected! It's actually split into two sides: one is a cafe-style sit down restaurant, and the other is more of a market setup with all their baked goods, coffee, tea, and a cozy coworking vibe. They even serve beer and wine on the cafe side! I took a peek at the wine list and was honestly impressed--they've got some really solid selections from some stellar wineries. I had a business meeting here today but made sure to come early to get a little work done first, then met up for lunch on the cafe side. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly welcoming and kind. Plus, the space is super cute. I ordered a chai tea latte (very good!) and for lunch got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken...and whoa. So fresh. It came with fresh anchovies, radish, and garlic house-made croutons. YUM. Ps-- if the parking lot is full, the parking lot directly across the street is available as well. read more

We had a large family gathering here for the holidays and while I wish we would've had two servers instead of just one for 28 people the server was absolutely delightful.

Borage lives up to the hype! It's a locally owned, trendy, upscale cafe featuring locally sourced ingredients and a made-from-scratch bakery. On Sunday morning, we had a short wait for a table. The host was super friendly. Blake, our server, was super friendly, made menu recommendations, and was attentive. The menu features alcoholic beverages and trendy coffees. I ordered the Pickled Shrimp Tostados off of the special menu. The tostados were beautifully presented and awesome with a spicy aioli sauce, tasty shrimp and slaw and a wonderful topping of shredded Asian radish. The dish was fresh and healthy. My husband ordered Grandpa's One Skillet Breakfast (a family recipe of the chef). The plate was filling with a savory mix of flavors. The fresh baked toasted bread was delicious with thick blackberry jam. The decor is interesting with lots of plants. The open kitchen allows patrons to watch staff prepare dishes. The noise level is high, but we could still hold a conversation at our table. The bakery and coffee bar is an alternate option for a quick seating and breakfast. The pastries look really awesome and huge (shareable). There is plenty of patio seating as well. Fresh bread and limited staples are available for sale. The baguettes looked amazing. There is free overflow parking across the street (because the dedicated lot will be full). Borage is a must a visit if you're out by Speedway. read more

My family and I visited this place over the weekend. It was a rainy day but I'm glad I was able to experience this gem in the neighborhood. We wanted to have lunch but unfortunately it wasn't open yet so we decided to check out the market/cafe. The staff were welcoming and my barista, Michael, was awesome. After looking at the menu, I was intrigued by the sweet corn miso latte. Michael walked me through it and reassured me that I'd like it. He was right! When you go tell them I sent you! I also get excited about specially items that are hard to find. I found one of my FAVORITE butters in the market area (Vermont Creamery butter log) and I purchased that as well. It was a good day. If you enjoy purchasing locally sourced, specially items this is the place for you. Some might think it's a little pricey but I think it's well worth it as it relates to quality and experience. I'm sure I'll go back and try it during lunch hours. read more

I have been dying to come here and was so excited to finally find a free Saturday morning to meet friends! We had a short wait so I got an iced banana bread latte in the market/cafe and it was delicious! Once seated, our table split a cinnamon roll. It was perfect! The fluffy frosting was perfection. I had Grandpa's One Skillet Breakfast. It was hearty and filling. I asked for some hot sauce and the waitress brought out their house made hot sauce and it was SO GOOD! The piece of sourdough on the side was fresh and the perfect ending to the meal. Highly recommend! We'll be back!! read more

Another amazing brunch experience at Borage. We brought new friends today and they LOVED everything as much as we do! The veggie frittata was delicious, and the dressing on the side salad is THE best, and usually available in the market. The whole vibe is welcoming, inviting and adorable. (Except to I. C.

I saw this spot driving by once and made a note to visit but hadn't had a chance yet. Met with friends for dinner and its such a lovely place to eat. The music was good and the staff are all friendly. We shared the deviled eggs and they were delicious with a hint of heat from the mustard. I got the Gooey gobbler which is a turkey sandwich. Sandwich was good but the turkey was in big chunks and would be better diced a bit smaller. The berry onion jam was delicious and I wanted more of it. My friend got the ceasar salad with chicken and it was a surprise to see that they put the anchovies on the side. Could be off putting to some but definitely a unique presentation. My other friend got the fish sandwich with friends and the fish still had that lovely crunch you expect from fried fish. After dinner, we explored the goodies available in the market. I got the london fog cookie and my friend got the cinnamon roll. Both baked goods were so good. Definitely will visit again. read more

I read so many great things about Borage on a Facebook group and we definitely made it a priority to try it! It's a sit down restaurant but still gives a casual vibe. They have a nice outdoor seating area (which is amazing if you have kids IYKYK, we didn't take ours, but we will in the future) The only mistake I made was not looking at the bakery section prior to ordering! They have the best looking pastries! Some of them are not listed on the menu! We shared their seasonal pop tart, asparagus croissant (AMAZING) & the loaded biscuit bowl! The biscuit was so fluffy, it literally melted in our mouth. My husband and I both agreed that it was the best biscuit we've ever had! We can't wait to go back everything else! read more
