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. When he immigrated to America, he wanted the same Belgian Waffles that he had there in the United States. Louis decided to start the restaurants on the New Jersey Coast Line because "he liked the communities". 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.
