Chambers Walk

has been serving the Princeton & Lawrenceville community since 1986,

when it began as a small café tucked along a quiet lane in Princeton, New Jersey

…on Chambers Walk, to be exact.

 

What started as a neighborhood café quickly became a local favorite.

Founded by Mario and Laura Mangone, both graduates of the Culinary Institute of America, Chambers Walk was created to meet the needs of a vibrant college town.

Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the café built its reputation on thoughtfully prepared food, warm hospitality, and muffins that became legendary - truly the talk of the town.

​

As demand grew, so did the vision.

Guests began requesting catering, and rather than saying yes to everything, the Mangone’s chose a different path: fewer events, executed with exceptional care, elegance, and attention to detail.

The philosophy was simple let the experience speak for itself. In 1990, Chambers Walk expanded into a larger facility in Trenton, focusing exclusively on off-premise catering

while staying true to its original values.

​

In 2001, Chambers Walk found its current home in the Village of Lawrenceville,

where the café experience was thoughtfully reintroduced alongside a thriving catering operation. Today, Chambers Walk continues to be a go-to destination for lunch during the week,

an inviting spot for dinner Wednesday through Saturday, and a trusted name for private dining and catered events. Team Building cooking classes, private gatherings both large and intimate, life events both big and small, Chambers Walk remains rooted in the same belief that started it all:

exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and details that matter.
