The Old Biscuit Mill Market

A little mixed review. Loved the stalls. You can find really some amazing finds here. The food court looked like they are serving some great options. We only had the strawberry and choc sauce tub. Seating was extremely limited Parking and area around the Biscuit Mill was a little questionable. Was it fun ? Yes. Would I go again ? No. But go and have a look.

Great place for a browse in the many boutique style shops and stalls. Terrific food stalls and a couple of bars with a live DJ at the weekend.

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.

After many visits to Cape Town, I finally learned about The Biscuit Mill. Such an amazing place. Incredible selection of food from the many food stalls. Great shopping from local manufacturers of clothing, art, jewelry and more. It seems crowded, but the energy is so positive and friendly.

Love this place. Great for shopping. Loads of local souvenirs, antiques, paintings and hand made clothing items. Loved shopping here.

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(?)

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!
