A Little About Us

Nestled in the heart of Saratoga Springs, Sweet Mimi’s is a destination for everyday dining as well as to-go and catering. Our cafe is best known for its extensive selection of extraordinary breakfast favorites, as well as a thoughtful menu of sweet and savory dishes. Our bakery case sits just inside the front door with an ever-changing array of made from scratch treats. See us in action! Our kitchen door is literally always open, giving an inside peek into where and how the goodies are made.


Our Menu

Everything on our menu is made from scratch, using the best locally sourced ingredients. Our eggs are fresh from Thomas Poultry Farm, our buttermilk comes from King’s Dairy, and real maple syrup from Mapleland Farm’s taps. We love to support and proudly feature local purveyors, like Rock Hill Bakehouse, Saratoga Gelato, Little Field Farms, and Featherbed Lane Farm.

Our Founder

Chef and Owner Jeannette Liebers truly loves to bake. Growing up in Queens, NY, she learned at an early age to appreciate the power of food and, thanks to her Italian grandmother, the love and care that comes from a kitchen. Those fond memories continued to fuel her love of cooking and eventually led her to culinary school. After traveling in Italy and France, she attended The Cambridge School of Culinary Arts in Boston, MA, and later The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY.

 While walking along Phila Street, Jeannette saw a brunch spot located in the historic Caffe Lena building and said, “I want to own this one day.” Ten years later, she made it happen. Named for her middle child and only daughter, Sweet Mimi’s Cafe and Bakery opened in October 2013 and quickly became a cornerstone of the community. We are proudly a woman owned and operated business, featuring a talented team of women.

Awards & TV Appearances

Jeannette has appeared on television several times, including Beat Bobby Flay, where she went head-to-head with the celebrity chef making her famous Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with homemade blueberry compote.
