    Food arrived cold. Even the coffee oddly was cold. Service was very slow.

    I will definitely be returning to Borage! Loved the unique menu and everything that we ordered. We especially enjoyed the deviled eggs (and this is coming from someone who usually doesn’t eat deviled eggs-the caviar and mini potato chips were a lovely addition). Would definitely recommend if you haven’t tried it yet!

    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!

    The mussels were incredible, and all the other food tasted very good. I like my food served very hot and thought the shrimp and grits were just lukewarm. It is an incredible value, especially with 1/2 price wine. Great service, fun vibe. Feels a little too bright at dinner time. Love the spot and hope it thrives. Such a great addition to the area.
