Nina's Waffles is an authentic Belgian waffle company located in the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.[1] The type of waffle they make is a Liège waffle. As of 2013 they currently make their own ice cream.

History

The restaurant was created by a man named Louis Zanias who was born in Greece, but grew up in Belgium where street vendors sold Liege waffles.[1] When he immigrated to America, he wanted the same Belgian Waffles that he had there in the United States.[1] Louis decided to start the restaurants on the New Jersey Coast Line because "he liked the communities".[2] In February 2011 Zanias decided to open his first place of business in the Stockton Farmers Market. Now this is not considered the first restaurant because it was a shop. At the Stockton Farmers Market, they made pastries and waffles. On May 5, 2012 Nina's Waffles opened in New Hope, Pennsylvania.The second Nina's location opened in Doylestown,Pa in April 2014.
