If you're in the Silverdale area, ground control is a little bit off the beaten path but otherwise is a brilliant option if you want some really decent food at a good price

The food is always fresh and made with love and passion. The environment is a total blast, this cafe has easy parking and its plentiful, fabulous out door seating also the beginning for walking and bikes pathways. Art gallery next door. Great thrift shop behind. Facing north and flooded with sun, coffee to die for, food to delight. Go there!! The young man who owns this cafe just oozes enthusiasm. If you own a cafe near here be very worried or sharpen up you act now!! PS Free WiFi

We drove all the way through town to get to this place based on the other review here. And we were…read moredisappointed to find that there was only cabinet food available. It all looked nice and fresh but cabinet food is just not what we're into. And I certainly would never rate a cabinet good cafe higher than three stars ever. I normally wouldn't review a place I hadn't eaten at either but wanted to save other people from going out of their way as we did just now.

We have lived in Torbay for a year and finally got around to going to the Long Bay Cafe for brunch…read more We arrived to a pretty full cafe, no outside tables which was disappointing as the lawn is pretty big so could have accomodated more. There was a bit of a wait on food but we were told this when we ordered so that was ok. The food was actually pretty good which we were really pleased about as it's kind of our local cafe. The prices were a little high would be my only criticism. Great view of Long Bay

It was Sunday and raining and because of the slips in the Dome Valley we were diverted on to SH16, heading back home to the Bay of Islands. There was a huge selection of freshly made and delicious food. The sandwiches were so good and the light and tasty scone was nothing like the overheated lump of lard that we seem to have served up in cafes now. The coffee was hot and of a good strength and the young staff was very efficient. What an unexpected find. These people deserve to do well.
