Brewster location in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

To find this elusive barista extraordinaire, you’ll have to complete a few little steps first. Importantly, you’ll have to have a 3-star island or more to set the quest in motion.

It all begins with Blathers, resident historian and museum attendant. To get Brewster in Animal Crossing: New Horizons:

1. Speak to Blathers at the museum.
   • He will inform you that he wants to add a coffee shop to the campus.
2. During his speech, he will note that Brewster likes gyroids, subtly telling the player to go to the pier. 
3. Once at the pier, speak to Kapp’n.
4. Trade 1,000 Nook Miles for a ticket (you do not need to return to Residential Services.)
5. You will be taken to a mysterious island where Brewster is located. Speak to him.
6. He will accept Blathers’ offer to set up a coffee shop.
7. Return to the museum.
8. The museum will close for one day, however will reopen with the brand spanking new version of The Roost.

What does Brewster do in Animal Crossing

Now that you’ve unlocked the cafe, what exactly can you do there? Of course, you can drop a measly 200 bells on a steaming hot cup of coffee, but you can also chill with your friends!

Using amiibo figures or cards, you can give your mates a ring using the yellow phone box in the corner of the store.

• Use them to buy limited edition, wedding-themed items from Cyrus
• give them to villagers for special, one-off dialog options, or sell them for 100 bells each.
• You can store up to 30 at any one time and, again, they are only available during the Wedding Season event.
