Old Biscuit Mill, Shopping district in Woodstock, Cape Town, South Africa
The Old Biscuit Mill is a shopping district in Woodstock featuring more than 100 vendor stalls offering artisanal products, gourmet foods, and local specialties across its open-air layout. The space flows openly so visitors can wander freely between different sections and discover various goods.
The complex originated as a Victorian-era biscuit factory in the late 1800s before being transformed into a retail destination in the early 2000s. This shift reflects how industrial buildings have been repurposed for community gathering and commerce.
The Neighbourgoods Market brings together food producers, craftspeople, and artists from the local community every Saturday. You can see how these makers share their traditions and connect with neighbors through food and handmade items.
The space is accessible during daylight hours and has parking available on-site for visitors. Plan to spend enough time here to see all the stalls, especially on Saturdays when there are more people around.
The Test Kitchen restaurant within the complex serves experimental cuisine with multiple-course tasting menus in an industrial setting. This lifts the Mill beyond a typical market and draws food enthusiasts from beyond the neighborhood.
