Butterbean's Café is a fun animated TV show. It's about a fairy named Butterbean who runs a magical café. She works with her friends to make delicious treats. The show teaches about cooking, using fresh ingredients, and being a good leader.

The series was created by Jonny Belt and Robert Scull. They also made Bubble Guppies. Butterbean's Café first aired on November 12, 2018. Later, in 2019, the show was renewed for a second season. It also moved to the Nick Jr. channel.

About Butterbean's Café

What is the Show About?

Butterbean's Café takes place in a magical place called Puddlebrook. Butterbean, a young fairy, opens her own café there. She gets help from her sister Cricket and their friends Poppy, Dazzle, and Jasper.

The café serves cute animal customers like chipmunks and rabbits. But not everyone is friendly! Ms. Marmalady, who runs a café next door, is always trying to cause trouble. She wants Butterbean's café to fail, but her plans never work.

How Do They Cook?

In most episodes, the fairies work together to bake amazing treats. When they successfully finish a treat, Butterbean uses a special "Fairy Finish." This makes colorful surprise beans appear, creating cool special effects!

Sometimes, a character will even talk directly to you, the viewer. They explain what's happening in the story, almost like a mini-documentary!
