Review of Yonder

Yonder
Ranked #25 of 270 Restaurants in Queenstown
Certificate of Excellence
Price range: $6 - $35
Description: Yonder is an essential part of the daily brunch and coffee DNA for Queenstown, the daily driver for locals and tourists alike. A brunch which hits on every dietary front and a coffee culture which wakes you up before you've even had a sip. However, if you sit here long enough. You wait for the sun to set. You'll see it transform into what has just been recognised as a finalist for New Zealand's Best Late Night/Live Entertainment Venue. Its a venue which invites all of Queenstown to come as they are with a revamped dinner menu, full of travel inspired share plates and hearty mains. If you have heard rumours of our legendary brisket, we can assure you - they are probably true. It’s a venue that invited you to stay for another and flag our staff down for another cocktail round. We're a venue where no two weeks are the same, keep up to date on our socials to see whats on our Weekly lineup. @yonderqt

such a darling place, great location and great food and beverages. We went twice during our stay in Queenstown, as two different locals had recommended it! Coffee and pastries one day, and lunch the next. Both were delicious!

Hey Salina.

Fantastic to hear that you enjoyed your time with us at Yonder and loved our speciality coffees as much as we do.

We are currently in the middle of launching our new summer menus and have some super exciting fresh flavours to offer.
Keep your eyes peeled and hope to see you back in the near future.

Thanks for writing us a review.

We had breakfast at Yonder during our stay in Queenstown. Service was good, food very nice and well presented. It was hard to get a second coffee - had to go looking for staff and ask twice. All in all though a good experience with a tasty breakfast. Second visit not so good. We were seated near counter and told to order at the counter. First visit had table service so we were confused. Guy who seated us was very offhand and unfriendly - these days DO NOT call women Darl. Not acceptable. We ordered coffee and again staff at counter not overly friendly. We were intending to have breakfast but all felt let down so moved on to another cafe. Consistency so important as we would not go again.

Hey Sandra,

Thanks for taking your time to write us a review, we really appreciate your feedback.

I can totally understand the confusion with having two very different experiences with our style of service at Yonder.
We are currently making a lot of changes to our systems and feel you have been caught right in the middle of this transition so I do apologise for this.

We are making these changes with goals of our service and staff becoming a lot more efficient to make a experience at Yonder a free flowing, smooth and enjoyable one. Being open just over a year now we feel we need to take Yonder to the next level.

In terms of unfriendly staff this is a huge surprise to us as our staff are known as polite happy people. I will address this with the manager on duty and ensure this won't happen again, so I do apologise for this.

We hope this hasn't tarnished your thoughts on Yonder and would hope you'll be back to give it another shot in the near future.

Kind Regards
Chantelle

One of the best meals we had across our 3 weeks in NZ. The beef brisket was sensational, as was the octopus and chicken wings. Even the side of veggies was superb. Absolutely delicious.
