There are tons of new recipes to collect, rearranging to be done to make room for gardens, and it provides a new gift to give to islanders and other players (as they say, a good meal becomes a great one when shared with friends!). In addition to being a brand new feature to the series as a whole, farming and cooking give the players something new to keep up with. These will give you basic recipes that use both the new crops and some ingredients already introduced such as pumpkins, fish, weeds, and fruits. There’s plenty of these recipes that you can collect from message bottles, islanders, and friends, and there are two starter DIY sets for cooking: one is available through Nook’s Cranny and the other through the Nook Stop in Resident Services. Perhaps the addition that got people most excited, the 2.0 update introduced five new crops - wheat, sugarcane, tomatoes, potatoes, and carrots - that could be grown and add a whole new set of DIY recipes specifically for cooking. The only downside? You can’t gift Gyroids to Brewster, and he deserves them for all his hard work running the cafe!


It’s a fun addition that gives you the ability to enjoy a loveable character and add a new element to your daily New Horizons routine. The museum will close for a day and bada-bing bada-boom! You’ve got The Roost in the museum! Now you can visit daily for a cup of coffee and maybe run into some of your islanders, invite friends to your island for an afternoon pick me up, and even use amiibo cards to invite special characters. Once you’ve spoken to him, you can take the boat back and have another chat with Blathers. With the 2.0 update, we’ve seen the return of the fan-favorite pigeon barista! All the player has to do is speak to Blathers, get Brewster’s picture, take a quick little boat tour, and find Brewster hunting for Gyroids. This is understandable there’s something so soothing about being in Brewster’s cafe, The Roost, and listening to his simple, straightforward way of speaking. Brewster has been a staple in the Animal Crossing series since his debut in Animal Crossing: Wild World, and when he wasn’t included in the initial release of New Horizons, a lot of fans were less than pleased.
