Yonder

The image shows an external view of Yonder, a cafe in Keswick. Outside, a family is sitting: two hijabi women, a male and female child, and two men. The women are drinking coffee, and one of the men is drinking a cold drink and giving the camera a thumbs-up.

Famous for more than just their Instagram videos, Yonder is another unique, dog-friendly cafe with real personality in the heart of Keswick town centre.

Local Charlotte Williams opened Yonder in 2023, taking over the old ‘Bruce & Luke’s’ venue, after previously managing the Round, and working in hospitality in Australia and New Zealand. Inspired by how they do it ‘down-under’, Charlotte decided to bring a little taste of her travels back to Keswick. How lucky are we?

Injected into every element of the quirky little cubby is pure passion for coffee, good vibes, and Keswick.

More than just a cafe, Yonder, in partnership with Beyond Fitness, runs ‘mindful miles’, a run club designed to blend mindset and movement. This community running club is less about competition, and more about movement as a means to meet people, explore the Lake District, and find new people to chat to. Personally, we think it’s a welcome change from the usual competitive dynamic of fitness clubs, particularly in Keswick, and strips things down to the basics: movement is great for your mental health; spending time outdoors is great for your mental health, and doing all of this within a group of likeminded people is even better.

Yonder serves a range of hot and cold drinks, including the ever-popular matcha latte: hot, or iced. One of their most famous offerings is the Beetroot Latte– same incredible flavour and caffeine fix, but pink! I mean, come on… where else are you gonna get a pink latte?! Sarah H loves the cakes, especially the cinnamon buns!
