Having opened only recently, Mila has thus far proven a massive success for
Pastry Chef & Owner Louise Veldhuizen. After working at Meerendal Wine Estate for two years
with chef Wade van der Merwe, Louise moved to London; and under the guidance chef Eric Landlard,
Louise perfected her skills in creating cakes and desserts fit for a king.
A small trip to Spain inspired & infused the idea of a cake shop,
and so the Mila came to South Africa.
Situated in the very heart of Stellenbosch,
Mila stands its ground in Dorp Street :
the old main street of the town, in which there are many handsome old whitewashed houses,
some of them with elaborate Cape Dutch gables.
With its similarities to a European~style confectionary,
Mila offers a fresh range of couture desserts, made freshly on the premises each day,
which can be ordered over the quaint glass counter- of course to be enjoyed on the porch
in full view of the magnificant surroundings.
