Borderline Cafe

Inside: Borderline Cafe

Avoid places that serve pizza at breakfast. The same goes for quesadillas or burritos. Establishments that dish out such greasy faves between the hours of 5-11 a.m. are best left to hungover college freshman or recently divorced bachelors. For the rest of us, however, we’ll grant one exception: Borderline Café. Situated on Detroit Avenue at Lakewood’s west end, this bashful little breakfast...

Buenos Dias!
With a name like Borderline Cafe and the fact that it happens to be stationed directly between two cities (Lakewood and Rocky River), one might expect this restaurant's...

I really wanted to 5-star this place. After reading all the reviews, I was hyped. But the service was atrocious, and 1 of 2 dishes that my wife and I ordered was IHOP quality. Pros: + The Bacon...

Best breakfast spot in the Lakewood area! I pretty much go nowhere else now. I usually stick with the chorizo tacos, but everything else is great. It's not very large, so expect there to be a wait.

I've been here twice now and got the southwest eggs Benedict (no bacon) both times! It's an English muffin with tomatoes, poached eggs, guac, cilantro, and a lime-southwest hollandaise sauce; it...

*Cash only* We went on a weekday morning because we heard this place gets a really long line on the weekends. That's usually a sign of good things in store. We only had a few people in front of...

I have been waiting a long time to try this place! Everyone who lives in Lakewood seems to recommend it as well as most yelpers and now I know why! It is delicious! This is not at all your average...

Kelly and Carrie Wright grew up in Lakewood and still live here. In 1993, the sisters purchased Georgetown Grille, where Kelly waitressed, and turned it into Borderline Cafe. The restaurant, decorated with song lyrics referencing breakfast, offers an extensive breakfast menu including breakfast quesadillas and burritos, along with pancakes, omelettes and stuffed French toast. The restaurant...

Wake up your taste buds with a spicy burrito or ranchero breakfast at Borderline Cafe. It's a cozy little place that only seats 30, but the food is packed with south of the border flavor. If you prefer sweet rather than spice, then indulge in the stuffed French toast. But get there early because the cafe closes at 2 p.m.
