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.

Cape Town progresses between sea and mountains with a pace that varies from neighborhood to neighborhood. As soon as you follow the Atlantic coast, the air becomes cooler, and then the city broadens towards the peaks where trails climb along rocky slopes. You then pass through older streets with colorful facades that catch the eye before reaching gardens stretching at the foot of Table Mountain. The recent history remains very present, and the traces of apartheid can still be felt when visiting the island where many political prisoners were held. Markets bring a lively, bustling atmosphere, much like the beaches where swimmers and marine animals mingle. This selection highlights places that define Cape Town’s spirit, allowing you to explore the city through its panoramas, neighborhoods, and heritage.
