NJ's favorite locally owned independent bookstore Watchung Booksellers is celebrating the Grand Opening of their new neighbor Tiny elephant Cafe tonight (June 6). The evening will also be a Grand Re-Opening of sorts for Watchung Booksellers.

Tiny Elephant is a bakery cafe that will occupy the space formerly used by Comfort Food Kitchen. Curated by Verona sisters Alison Meade and Dana Bachan, the cafe will serve breakfast and lunch. Cakes, cookies, and pastries will be available for dine-in or take away. Plus there's coffee.
