Chambers Walk was started in 1986 and began life as a cafe, located in Princeton, New Jersey on a small lane called Chambers Walk, hence the name !!
Mario and Laura Mangone, both graduates of the Culinary Institute of America, opened Chambers Walk Cafe to cater to the needs of a busy college town. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the cafe quickly gathered a following for its delicious food and outrageous muffins, which became the "talk of the town". The gourmet take-out became so popular that many customers began inquiring about catering services. Initially only a select group of clients were permitted to use the catering services. With a concept that is uncommon among most restaurateurs, the Mangones felt it was better to do fewer events, but to do them with such elegance and attention to detail that the satisfied client would become their greatest salesman.
In 1990, Chambers Walk moved to a larger facility in Trenton, where our sole concentration was off-premise catering. Whileour staff increased, our concept remained the same.
In January of 2001, Chambers Walk moved to it's current location in the "Village" in Lawrenceville. With this move, Chambers Walk will, in a sense, revive the "Cafe" but catering will be at the heart of the operation. The cafe, open for lunch Monday thru Friday is a great stop off during your busy day. Dinner is served Tuesday thru Saturday. In the evening, this space can be booked for private dining, whether corporate functions or a family get-together. Our Monday night cooking classes have been very well received and will continue throughout the year. Check the "Cafe" page to read more about what we're serving at our Lawrenceville location !!!
