Featured Local Business

The Cubby Hole

The Cubby Hole is a family-owned breakfast-and-brunch cafe on East Main Street in the heart of Moorestown, the kind of independent, welcoming spot locals have quietly made their own for years. The kitchen keeps it creative and made fresh: blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes, crème brûlée French toast, strawberry-banana-Nutella crepes, omelettes, paninis, and homemade donuts served with coffee and tea from 7:30 each morning.

Locals love the cozy community feel, the friendly service, and the generous portions that make it easy to linger over a slow weekend brunch. It holds a 4.3-star rating on Yelp from more than 400 reviews, and with a Main Street address steps from the shops, it is where neighbors bring out-of-town guests for a true taste of Moorestown mornings.

What makes Moorestown the "Town of Quality"?

Moorestown High School is known for strong academics, a wide range of AP courses, excellent athletics, and award-winning arts programs. The district also includes excellent elementary and middle schools. For families seeking private education, Moorestown Friends School offers a highly respected Quaker-based curriculum.
