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.

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.

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.

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

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(?)
