The Roost Café

Discover how to unlock Brewster's Roost Cafe in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! Learn about ordering coffee, building friendships, and using Amiibos.

Alright, so you've heard about Brewster and his legendary coffee shop, The Roost, right? It's tucked away in the museum, and getting it open is a bit of a quest, but totally worth it. Think of it as a cozy little hideaway for you and your island pals.

How to Get The Roost Open:

First things first, you gotta find Brewster himself. The best way to do this is to chat with Blathers at the Museum. He'll give you the lowdown, and then it's off on an adventure! You'll need to take one of Kapp'n's boat tours. These trips cost 1,000 Nook Miles – which, honestly, is a pretty sweet deal, even cheaper than a Nook Miles Ticket. Once you've found Brewster out on one of these mystery islands, head back to Blathers. He'll then get the ball rolling on renovating a part of the museum to house Brewster's cafe. Just a heads-up, this renovation takes about two days to complete after you've found him.

What's the Deal at The Roost?:

Once those two days are up and the museum extension is ready, you can finally head over to The Roost! It's located upstairs and to the left once you enter the museum's main hall. The best part? It's open 24/7, so you can grab a coffee anytime you fancy.

When you walk in, you'll see a few low tables with chairs and a bar area with stools. To order a coffee, just hop onto one of the bar stools and chat with Brewster. A cup of his finest brew will set you back 200 Bells. Brewster might seem a bit quiet at first, but stick with it! As you become a regular and visit daily, he'll start opening up, sharing more personal dialogue, kind of like Sable at the Able Sisters'. Make sure you pop in for a coffee at least once a day to build up that friendship.

Oh, and those low tables and chairs? They're not for just anyone. Brewster reserves them, and you'll only see other island residents sitting there occasionally. If you try to take a seat there yourself, he'll let you know they're taken.

Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for other villagers! Sometimes, like Daisy Mae after her Sunday turnip sales, they might pop in for a drink and a bite.

Inviting Friends with Amiibos:

Want to have a special coffee date with your favorite characters? You can use Amiibos! There's a yellow phone on the back wall of The Roost. Using it will let you invite an Amiibo character to join you for a coffee. They'll take a seat at the tables, and you can all enjoy a brew together.
