It involves a fairy named Butterbean who runs a cafe in the small town of Puddlebrook with her friends Dazzle, Jasper, Poppy, and her little sister Cricket (but you wouldn't know if we didn't tell you, since they look nothing alike).

Across the brook lives a greedy, competitive CardCarryingVillain named Ms. Marmalady who is out to steal customers from Butterbean. She always ends up failing due to her being a LethalChef, and due to Butterbean and her team's fairy magic and teamwork.

* AllCGICartoon

* BenevolentBoss: On the flip-side, Butterbean is kind to her friends. As stated in the theme song:
-->'''Poppy, Cricket, Jasper, and Dazzle''': She's the very best boss!
-->'''Butterbean''': Aw, thanks you guys!
* BigBad: Ms. Marmalady is the main antagonist of the series.

* CheerfulChild: The 5 main characters all count as this.
* ChekhovsGun: In "The Perfect Picnic!", Cricket states that ants hate cinnamon. This comes in useful later when ants invade the titular picnic.

* DullSurprise: Ms. Marmalady. In fact all her dialogue is incredibly monotonous.
* EpisodeTitleCard: Every episode has one.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Averted with Ms. Marmalady's monkey assistants.
* EvilChef: Ms. Marmalady.
* EvilIsPetty: '''''To the Nth degree.''''' Ms. Marmalady won't let the garbage man empty Butterbean's dumpster unless she beats her in a pancake-making contest. What the hell?

* FeminineWomenCanCook: Butterbean, Dazzle, Cricket, and Poppy are are girly, and are chefs.

* HarmlessVillain: Ms. Marmalady tries to be menacing, but she poses no real threat and none of her plans work because she lacks the team spirit that Butterbean and her team have. Plus, she's mainly used to get a cheap laugh from the kiddies.

* MerchandiseDriven: Chances are, whatever toy company gets the license to this show will get a ''lot'' of mileage out of plastic dolls of the main characters and toy cooking supplies, not unlike Nick Jr's other modern preschool fare.

* ObviouslyEvil: You can tell Ms. Marmalady is evil just from her dull appearance.

* YouthfulFreckles: Poppy has them, but they're hard to see.
