THE OLD BISCUIT MILL, WOODSTOCK THIS CONVERTED MILL IN THE INDUSTRIAL WOODSTOCK SUBURB OF CAPE TOWN IS WELL KNOWN FOR ITS NEIGHBORHOOD MARKETS AND SMALL INDEPENDENT RETAILERS. HOWEVER, WE RECOMMEND VISITING FOR TWO EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLES OF THE CITY’S EMERGING CULINARY AND COFFEE OFFERINGS.
Espresso Lab Microroasters There are plenty of coffee shops in Cape Town, but none take their craft as serious as this ground-level destination in the old Mill. Baristas clad in all-white tops and black aprons work their magic using fully-traceable beans from farms in El Salvador, Kenya and Tanzania. The best part, though, is that they’re happy to share the lineage of the coffee you’ll enjoy. Our favorite: a classic cappuccino. — W expressolabmicroroasters.com A 375 Albert Road
The Pot Luck Club Atop the Old Biscuit Mill in the Woodstock District of Cape Town sits this fantastic gastro destination. Known for an innovative small-plate menu, The Pot Luck Club is a win for those who can get themselves a reservation. We recommend booking a few months in advance. — W thepotluckclub.co.za A The Old Biscuit Mill, The Silo, 6th floor
