The Old Biscuit Mill Market

The Old Biscuit Mill definitely has a unique and vibrant vibe — lots of shops, galleries, and food stalls, all packed with character and local creativity. The fresh coconut I tried was tasty and refreshing, perfect for a hot day! However, the market could really benefit from better cleanliness and organization. The layout feels a bit chaotic, with little direction or signage, making it easy to get lost. Some of the food stalls also seemed to operate in less-than-food-safe conditions, which was disappointing considering the overall reputation of the place. Still, it’s worth visiting for the atmosphere and local experience — just go with an open mind and low expectations on hygiene and structure.

Very cool and worth a visit. Great shops, really great food (go to Pot Luck Club you will thank the gods you did). And there’s something for everyone. Got lots of cool gifties and some dope clothes that were suspiciously well priced. Gets super lively as of late afternoon with live music, dancing and great beer and cocktails for a tipsy walkabout. Also a great Maryjane store right down the road if that’s your thing.

Very good spot to buy some local work - clothes, craftsman work, paintings and more. It’s not the cheapest place and it does close early in the day (as most things in Cape Town). However, you can find quality products so it could be worth the visit.

The biggest avocado 🥑 Nice place but if you park your car 🚗 the guys on the road are very disturbing. And they want money but for what, just staying there and directing the traffic(?)

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.

The Neighbourgoods Market located at The Old Biscuit Mill is a fun day out for people who want to meet up with friends for some food and drinks, listen to an artist perform, and buy some home made goods, fresh produce, etc. There are many different stalls with food options catering to most dietary preferences. The market is also dog friendly, as long as your dog is well behaved. There isn’t any parking on the premises, so you have to find a spot to park outside on the street or in one of the side roads, but there are usually parking attendants showing you where you can park.
