Reader’s Digest magazine recognized the borough for its downtown
Haddonfield was recently named the most charming small town in New Jersey by Reader’s Digest magazine.
The magazine, which ranked the most charming towns in every state, praised the borough’s downtown and historic character.
“A short drive from Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New York, Haddonfield dates back to 1682 and offers more than 200 shops and galleries, many within Colonial buildings,” Reader’s Digest said in a post on its website.
“Enjoy window shopping down Kings Highway, dine outdoors at one of its many sidewalk cafes, and book an overnight stay at the Haddonfield Inn in a restored Victorian home,” the magazine continued.
On a recent sunny morning, several people on Kings Highway agreed with the magazine’s assessment.
“It’s definitely a nice place to work,” said Devi Bass, of Haddonfield, who works at Le Café Creperie. “Everyone who comes in is very nice.”
“It’s a nice place to live,” she added.
Phil, of Bellmawr, who declined to provide his last name, said he visits the borough a couple of times a month.
“It’s just a nice place to sit out and have a coffee and enjoy the weather,” he said while sipping a cup of joe.
