New Horizons: A Guide to Brewing Success in Your Island
Living on a deserted island can be both exciting and challenging. One of the greatest challenges is satisfying our cravings for a good cup of coffee. Thankfully, in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, we can now have our very own coffee shop on our virtual island! In this guide, I will show you how to get a coffee shop in New Horizons and brew success on your island.
Building Your Dream Coffee Shop
To start your coffee shop venture in New Horizons, you’ll need to unlock and complete a few key tasks. Let’s dive in!
Step 1: Upgrade Your Residential Services
The first thing you need to do is upgrade your Residential Services building. Initially, this building will be a tent, but you can upgrade it to a proper building by completing various tasks provided by Tom Nook, the island’s resident raccoon.
Once you have the upgraded Residential Services building, you’ll unlock a new resident named Isabelle, who will be your assistant in running the coffee shop.
Step 2: Increase Your Island Rating
To unlock the coffee shop, you’ll need to increase your island’s rating. This can be achieved by decorating your island with various items, planting trees, placing fences, and creating beautiful outdoor spaces.
Talk to Isabelle at Residential Services, and she will provide you with an island evaluation. She’ll give you feedback on what you need to improve to increase your island rating.
Step 3: Inviting Brewster to Your Island
Once you have achieved a 3-star rating on your island, a new character named Brewster will start appearing on your island plaza or town square. He is a lovable pigeon who runs the famous coffee shop known as “The Roost.”
To invite Brewster to your island, talk to him every day and engage in friendly conversations. Over time, he will express interest in opening a branch of “The Roost” on your island.
Setting Up the Coffee Shop
Now that you have successfully invited Brewster to your island, it’s time to set up the coffee shop. Here’s what you need to do next:
Step 1: Choose a Suitable Location
Find a suitable location for your coffee shop. It should be easily accessible for your villagers and have enough space to accommodate tables, chairs, and other aesthetic elements that will make your coffee shop inviting.
Step 2: Gather the Materials
To set up the coffee shop, you’ll need specific materials. These include a coffee grinder, espresso machine, coffee beans, cups, chairs, tables, and other decorative items like plants and artwork. You can purchase these items from the Nook’s Cranny shop or from other residents on your island.
Step 3: Decorate and Design
Now comes the fun part – decorating your coffee shop! Be creative and make it unique to reflect your island’s personality. Add cozy furniture, paintings, and plants to enhance the ambiance. Consider creating a comfortable seating area for your villagers to relax and enjoy their coffee.
Running Your Coffee Shop
With your coffee shop all set up, it’s time to manage and run your business. Here are some tips to ensure your coffee shop thrives:
Tip 1: Serve Delicious Coffee
To keep your customers happy, make sure to serve delicious coffee. As the coffee shop owner, you can customize the beans, sugar, and milk ratios to create different flavors. Experiment with different combinations and ask your villagers what they prefer.
Tip 2: Engage with Villagers
Interacting with your villagers is vital for the success of your coffee shop. Engage in friendly conversations, listen to their stories, and build a strong relationship with them. This will encourage them to visit your coffee shop regularly.
Tip 3: Host Special Events
To attract more customers and create a buzz, consider hosting special events in your coffee shop. You can organize live music performances, karaoke nights, poetry readings, or even themed parties. These events will not only bring joy to your villagers but also increase your coffee shop’s popularity.
Conclusion
Congratulations on successfully setting up your coffee shop in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! Remember, with dedication, creativity, and a welcoming atmosphere, your coffee shop will become the heart and soul of your island. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy the fruits of your labor in this virtual world. Cheers to your brewing success!
