Located in Mineola NY, Costa Nova Waffle brings you this beachside treat, a hybrid of the Waffle and the Crêpe.
Welcome to Costa Nova Waffle where you are transported from the east coast of the western world to the west coast of the eastern world, washing ashore on the beaches of Costa Nova, Aveiro (Portugal). It's a tiny fisherman's town boasting traditionally iconic striped houses, beautiful ornamental painted river boats called "moliceiros", the home city of the "Ovos Moles" and some of the best waffles you've ever had as presented in an untraditional fashion in comparison to the world's standard of what a waffle should be. These decadently delicious treats return us to our childhood summers spent on the beaches of Aveiro. The magnificent coastal waffles are thin flat waffles, essentially offspring of a marriage between the typically recognized waffle and a crepe however, presented in a most portable manner. They are served crispy (Bolacha) or soft (Tripa), with a myriad of available fillings, and are perfectly paired with the compelling flavors and aromas of the finest Portuguese espresso, cappuccino and “Galão” latte also available at Costa Nova Waffle
Our Shop located at 211 2nd street in Mineola, NY which has many of the native characteristics of the small Portuguese beach town.

Monica and Andre's mother Vitoria is native to the region of Aveiro where this specialty waffle originates from. After her diagnosis with leukemia, they promised her she would still see them bring this Portuguese waffle which is called the Bolacha Americana (American cookie) to America. A few years after finishing college they finally decided they had to keep the promise they made to her and bring this treat to the US for the first time. They started in 2015 at local street fairs and brought their cousins, sisters Amanda and Andrea along too. After the fairs that summer they all knew this was something they had to continue. On October 10,2015 they opened the shop, down the block from the hospital they were all born in. Their diverse educational backgrounds, family bond and love for their product has made Costa Nova Waffle a new Long Island favorite for dessert and coffee.
