Pepeta's Cafe, also known as Pepeta's Saloon, was a fixture on North 27th Street in Cramer Hill through at least six decades. William Pepeta Sr. came to America from Germany in 1872. He wed and started a family with wife Mary by 1880 in the Cramer Hill section of Camden NJ. William Pepeta Sr. worked in a factory as a wool washer through at least 1890, when he was listed in the Camden City Directory as living on Cambridge Avenue. He later worked as a shipyard carpenter, very possibly at the Noecker, Rickenbach and Ake Shipyard, which specialized in wooden boats and ships. His son William Pepeta Jr. was born in 1879.
By 1920 William Pepeta Jr. was the owner and operator of a saloon at 1101 North 27th Street, where he lived with wife Clara and their daughter, also named Clara. He managed to hold on to his business through Prohibition, and when drinking became legal again in 1933, he regained his liquor license. Pepeta's Cafe remained at 1101 North 27th Street through at least 1977.
