Renowned Italian Bakery To Open In Haddonfield

HADDONFIELD, NJ — A renowned Philadelphia-area bakery plans to relocate one of its shops to Haddonfield — albeit because of difficult circumstances.

Cacia's Bakery of Audubon hopes to open at the new location — 26 S Haddon Ave., Haddonfield — in early fall. The Italian bakery blamed its landlord and the Borough of Audubon for the abrupt move.

A sign on the door of the Audubon location said the following:

"As of Monday, July 24th Cacia's of Audubon will be closing its doors, due to the negligence, of our landlord, to maintain the proper upkeep of the connected buildings and land. The Borough of Audubon gave us an extremely limited amount of time to find a new location and to have a new location ready for operation, therefore our new location which will be located at 26 South Haddon Ave., Haddonfield will not be ready to open until early fall.

We thank all our customers over the years for their patronage and we hope to see you soon at our new location. In the meantime, you can visit our Cherry Hill store or our other locations throughout South Jersey to enjoy our breads, pizzas, strombolis, sandwiches and catering."

Cacia's Bakery has served Philadelphia since 1953, with a store in South Philly. The business also has several South Jersey locations — in Cherry Hill, Blackwood, Hammonton and, until recently, Audubon.

The bakery isn't moving far from its Audubon location — only about 1.5 miles up Kings Highway.
