Milky Lane

Situated in the Langebaan Waterfront, Milky Lane offers a sweet escape for locals and visitors with a craving for indulgent treats. As one of South Africa's most beloved ice cream parlors since 1958, this branch maintains the brand's reputation for quality "NiceCream" soft serve and creative desserts.

What to Expect

Milky Lane's menu features their signature NiceCream in various forms - from classic cones and sundaes to more elaborate creations:

• Waffles: A standout offering with toppings like caramel popcorn
• Milkshakes: Their double-thick chocolate milkshake is considered by some to be among the best in the Western Cape
• NiceCream Cakes: Available for special occasions with 72-hour pre-ordering
• Specialty Items: Ferrero Rocher¬Æ NiceCream treats, NiceCream Tubz, and seasonal offerings

Insider Tips

The shop can get very busy during holiday periods and hot summer afternoons, so timing your visit for mid-morning or early evening is wise. The double-dipped ice cream cones are particularly popular but tend to melt quickly in the summer heat - best eaten immediately!

While primarily a takeaway spot, there is limited seating available. Note that there are no restroom facilities within the shop itself.

Opening Hours

Milky Lane stays open until 10pm on weekends (Thursday-Saturday), making it one of the few dessert spots in Langebaan that's available for late evening treats. They close earlier on Sundays at 8pm and operate until 9pm on weekdays.

Best For

Perfect for a post-beach treat during summer days or an after-dinner dessert stop. Families with children will particularly appreciate the variety of sweet options and kid-friendly environment. Coffee lovers might be surprised by the quality of their café beverages, which some regulars consider among the best in town.

During busy periods, consider ordering simpler items like soft serve cones or tubs rather than waffles or elaborate sundaes which take longer to prepare.
