Believe it or not, the concept of brunch is not as old as you might think. This mid-morning meal, usually enjoyed between the late morning and early afternoon, first became popular in the United States in the 1930s. In fact, the word brunch (which you know is a mashup between breakfast and lunch) didn’t even arrive in the English language until the 1890s! While this concept may be just around a century old here in the U.S., nobody knows brunch like a Clevelander. Today, we’re going to take a look at one of the best brunch spots in Cleveland: Borderline Cafe.
There's an incredible brunch joint on Detroit Avenue in Lakewood that's hiding in plain sight.
You can find their menu online to plan your meal in advance. The menu is accompanied by pictures of some of their most delicious dishes, so be prepared for heavenly temptation.

From omelettes to breakfast sandwiches, there's something for everyone on the menu...
While breakfast is the star of the show here, there are all sorts of savory options to tackle your lunchtime cravings. Connect with Borderline Cafe on Facebook for an insider's look at their Southwestern-inspired options.
The southwestern flair even comes out in simple dishes like the steak and egg sliders, which include a chipotle mayo for an added kick.
While Texas toast and Belgian waffles are on the menu, this delightful local business is still Cleveland to the core. Look for local art and familiar ingredients during your visit!
The art adds an element of interest to the environment.
But don't be embarrassed if you decide to get carryout... this place is so delicious that many visitors can't help but take home a doggie bag or two. There's nothing like late-night brunch, after all!
Dining delicacies abound in this beloved Greater Cleveland diner.
Look for it at 18508 Detroit Ave, Cleveland, OH 44107.
