We enjoyed this visit on a Saturday. The food market was open and the options were wide-ranged, from vegan to breakfast to comfort food to regional foods to delicious alcohols. It was crowded, but not too much, and the prices for the dishes were reasonable. The boutiques and small shops had interesting options. Some were high-end and some were bargain, but it was a good first market experience for Cape Town. I recommend a visit to the Old Biscuit Mill! Be sure it's a weekend visit!

The Old Biscuit Mill weekend market is a chilled flee market / outdoor shopping mall / food hall combination that makes for a worthwhile afternoon on weekends. Next to the cute shops there's live music and various food and drink stalls to not just stroll around a bit and get some shopping in, but enjoy some high quality daydrinking to start off your Cape Town vacation in style. We loved the vibe and good looking young to mid aged crowd and felt absolutely safe there at all times.

The Biscuit Mill was a bit of a let down due to its small size. Not much to do and see. Bigger and better options exist. There didn't seem to be much better shopping in the surrounding area either.

Amazing selection of food. Great experience. Chefs counter is best for mixed grill. Go for the family platter. Vegan was tasty. Fermented chilli sauce to die for. Great personality chef.

You should go on weekends. It was quite smaller than I expected. They have weekends market so it might be fun on weekends but definitely not on weekdays. We went there on weekends but honestly the oranjezicht market near the water front is much better!

An area wirh some shops and restaurants, much smaller than expected. Interesting, but my expectations were much higher based on the feedbacks. If you have some spare time before your flight home you can make a stop here to buy some souvenirs.
