Jeannette Liebers is the Owner & Executive Chef of Sweet Mimi’s Cafe, a quaint 35 seat cafe just off Broadway in Saratoga Springs, New York.
Jeannette has been cooking, teaching and entertaining most of her life, and her love for being in the kitchen was first ignited by cooking alongside her Italian grandmother in a tiny kitchen in Queens, NY. After traveling to Italy and France in her mid-20’s, she decided to leave her career in publishing to pursue a lifelong dream of being a chef and baker. She pursued a degree at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts in Boston, then later studied cakes & tortes at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. Years later she would follow her passion further to open her first cafe.
Sweet Mimi’s Cafe & Bakery opened its doors on 10/11/2013 and has since welcomed guests from all over the country. In October 2021, Chef Jeannette enjoyed competing on Beat Bobby Flay in NYC. The episode, Battle of Saratoga aired in April 2021.
