One of the standout features of the market is its incredible food stalls. From artisanal baked goods to exotic international dishes, there’s something to satisfy every craving. On my visit, I couldn’t resist trying the famous burgers from one of the on-site burger restaurants. The burger was a masterpiece—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The combination of the smoky patty, melted cheese, and house-made sauce was unforgettable, and it’s easy to see why this spot has such a loyal following. Beyond the food, what truly makes the Old Biscuit Mill Market special is its friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The vendors are passionate about their offerings and always happy to chat about their products. Whether you’re sampling gourmet cheeses, sipping on locally roasted coffee, or browsing handmade crafts, the sense of community is palpable. The market’s rustic charm, with its exposed brick walls and industrial decor, adds to the overall experience, making it a feast for the senses. The Old Biscuit Mill Market is more than just a place to eat—it’s a celebration of creativity, culture, and connection. Whether you’re grabbing a bite, shopping for unique finds, or simply soaking in the lively vibe, this market is a Cape Town treasure. If you’re in the area, don’t miss it. You’ll leave with a full stomach, a smile on your face, and memories to last a lifetime.

Lots to see and do here, variety of shops, eateries, coffee shops, dining areas. Not too touristy, although you can get gifts from here as we did. We spent an afternoon in here shopping, my wife bought some gifts, and we ended up dining here which was relaxing And enjoyable.

Very busy most corners are full especially holidays, expect long waits and be grateful on a off season or a rainy day! Everything is absolutely worth the wait food and quality can be expected, shops vary with tourist prices (high). Beyond that it's very clean for a busy place, it's also huge - I mean expect a 3 to 4 hour walk to truly see everything - there's dozens of stores with clothing, food and jewelry, along with a lot of cramped spaces. Last thing is it's cramped and those of us with special needs can expect a lot of noise, and some difficulties getting places - good luck on your journey folks!

Was directed here after a visit to the Hout Bay Market so that I could change a faulty shirt I bought there. I knew nothing about the place and got there around 10 am. on a Saturday. Quite the surprise to find this cool market area filled with young designer shops and stalls, an extensive food market, and great DJs setting the tone. Basically, I found all X-mas gifts in this place and also a high-end restaurant that I returned to another day (Test Kitchen). If you drive there, your car will be looked after while parked. And in the evening, you do not walk from there due to safety reasons.

In the heart of Woodstock is a small village where they have local shops and really interesting items and concepts! We had a great time strolling around we went during the week but was told on weekends they have a huge market with beer on tap and just all your local crafts, food, gifts and so much more! The art is just beautiful!

Old Biscuit Mill market was soo cool. So many awesome food stalls, we were spoiled for choice. From tacos, crepes, and steaks to African curries and sweets there was so much to try. We ended up having the mung bean curry and Swahili donut which was so flavourful and yummy. We also had a breakfast crepe which was loaded with toppings and tasted great. The chef from DRC was also supper cool to chat to as he made our crepe. The zebra steak was something new for us but was also very tasty, really lean and flavourful. Along with a huge choice of food stalls, the market had people selling Biltong, perfumes, soaps, craft gins, clothes and loads more. Can easily spend a good amount of time here!

Every time I come here it is a vibe. No weekend is the same as the previous weekend in terms of the atmosphere. When it comes to the food, though the same as previous weekend, it’s amazing and freshly prepared in front of you with most of the vendors. You just need to be wary of all your belongings, as security is only located at the entrance not inside.

Nice “market” where u have plenty of food options from all around the world. Also locals stores with beautiful clothes and leathers things. It has like a hippie chic style. They usually play music which is very cool. Highly recommend to go on a sunny day if you are in Cape Town during winter and in my opinion is a MUST GO!
