Good food but… - Edit
2024 update:
Read moreIt’s great for healthy vegan & gluten free options and the food is tasty. But here are annoying things about Yonder:
• Hard to have a catch-up with friends over lunch here as they insist on playing loud music that impedes relaxed conversation.
• When I came in Nov 2024 they had 3 local kombucha options on the menu, none of which were actually available
• They insist on sprinkling seeds on almost every vegan dish, which add nothing to the flavor and just get stuck in your teeth.
• The “Good Greens” dish had broccoli with yellow and brown florets - not fresh and unsightly, I would not cook broccoli like this at home, let alone serve it to paying customers.
2021 review: It’s a cool place for brunch and for people watching. But it’s also very popular and can be difficult to find seating and/or servers. We waited forever to get menus for example.
The food was good, the vegan butty looked delish. The tofu scramble was a bit less impressive. Would go back to try the other vegan dishes.

Great Place for Brunch - Edit
I really enjoyed this place. There were a decent number of options and they were clearly marked on the menu. On the online menu you also have the option to filter by dietary requirement, which makes it even easier. The food was a little expensive, but it was worth it as it tasted amazing.
Read morePros: Clearly labelled options
Cons: A little pricey

Yummy but Oily/Greasy - Edit
We both ordered and enjoyed our vegan Butty’s- amazing flavours but much too oily for me😒Oil or grease, it was all over my fingers and soaked in the bun, on the plate… Partner was fine with hers but if you’ve got a sensitive stomach be cautious, I had a rough night 🥲 Bright-side, lots of options and ways to make dishes vegan there, but not worth the risk if you’re sensitive to oil / grease in food.
Read morePros: Plenty of options, Yummy
Cons: Oil / Grease

Tasty - Edit
Not a huge range of vegan food but of what there is, it’s gorgeous. Vegan burger and the peanut butter and jelly muffins are a big favourite

Incredible food - Edit
The food was amazing, atmosphere was also great. Nothing negative to say.
Read moreI ordered the tofu bao and greens. Both were incredible!! Wish I wasn't leaving Queenstown already, otherwise I'd certainly be back. Had a nice cocktail (miss Moneypenny) during happy hour as well: 20% off
Pros: Amazing food, Atmosphere, Good cocktails

Just too much - Edit
I went there during a time when they were only serving small plates. It has a reasonable vegan selection and it is clearly indicated.
Read moreThey use real food and the description of dishes great.
The falafels were undercooked (and drowned in oil). Good Greens were okay. Hasselback beetroot was swimming in a pool of oil and the accompanying white sauce was overly garlicky. The after-taste (of one day old garlic) motivated me to submit the post.
I would have mentioned it to the staff, but they were just too cool for school to care.
Pros: vegan options, clearly indicated , use real food ingredients
Cons: too much oil!!, too much garlic, undercooked falafels

Amazing Flavor! - Edit
New menu this week started for dinner. Amazing flavors and unique options. Had two of the share plates, the greens (which I was expecting a salad but it was green vegetables) and the hassleback beets. Wow. Both were amazing.

So delicious we went twice! - Edit
Our hotel recommended this place, and we were so glad they did! Hubby loved his non-vegan food and I especially loved my vegan gluten free options! First visit was the lemon blueberry pancakes and a hot chocolate for me. Second visit was some sides: broccoli, side Cobb salad, and smashed potatoes. Everything was delicious and we were disappointed they are closed for the remainder of our visit. Definitely check this place out!
Read morePros: Multiple vegan options , Fun ambience , Helpful and friendly staff
Cons: Food brought out separately, eating together hard, Dinner dishes were warm, not hot, Limited vegan dinner mains, mostly sides

Vegan Butty is top tier - Edit
The interior has a cool, neon-tinged vibe to it with lots of plants everywhere. Just a very pleasant place to eat. And luckily, the food is great. Vegan Butty was a unique and flavorful brunch surprise. Wouldn't mind going back to try the pancakes.
