The Imagination Cafe Computer is located in the Imagination Cafe in City Town. The player can open the Imagination Cafe and server customers by interacting with the Imagination Cafe Computer.
To open the cafe, press the Open Cafe button to begin serving customers! The Imagination Cafe can be closed at any time. It will automatically close if you have served the maximum amount of customers for that day. The Imagination Cafe Computer is also a great place to purchase ingredients, such as Tapioca and Tea Leaves, using Cafe Coins, which are earned whenever you serve a customer.
Taking Customer Orders
When a customer comes to the counter, press the speech bubble button (for Island Visitors) or the face button (for Friends) to begin a conversation. (The customer is always on the other side of the counter. Characters who are currently your companion can become customers, too!) Customers can give a variety of kinds of orders! Some are asking for vague flavors, while others will ask for specific dishes.
- If the player already has a food that fits their request, press “I’ve got that ready.” Any dish displayed in this menu will satisfy that customer’s request.
- If the player wishes to cancel the order, press “I can’t make that right now.” This is not recommended! Try to make orders for your friends.
- If the player does not have the item yet and is in the process of making it, press “I’m working on it”
Creating a Customer's Order
All orders are made at the Chef's Station where the player can craft all sorts of yummy treats, such as Mochi, Dango, Boba, and Rice Flour! Create a dish for the customer, or cook up a bunch at once to prepare for the upcoming day! Once the player is done, they must serve the treat to the customer using "I've got that ready." The customer will then give the player Cafe Coins as a reward and leave. When just starting with the cafe, Mochi rewards 2x Cafe Coins and Dango rewards 3x Cafe Coins.
Rules for Filling Orders
- Customers do accept pre-made items.
- Boba awards the most Cafe Coins, then Dango, then Mochi.
- Customers may request a specific food type and/or a specific flavor (or multiple flavors).
- If a customer wants a Mochi that is "Sweet" then the player must create a Mochi using Candy Cloud as it's main ingredient.
- If a customer wants a Dango that is "Sweet" then the player must create a Dango using at least 1x Sweet Mochi — the second and third Mochi can be any type.
- If a customer wants a Boba that is "Spicy" then the player must create a Boba using Magma Bloom as its main ingredient — any modifiers can be added.
- A Boba made with 2x Honeycomb does count as something with a "Sweet" flavor.
- If they just specify one flavor, they will accept any food type.
- Customers may name multiple flavors, but they will say "or" if they will accept any one of those flavors or "and" if it needs to include all of those flavors.
- If a customer wants a Dango that is "Spicy and Magical," then the player must create a Dango using at least 1x Spicy Mochi and 1x Mochi in their recipe — the third Mochi can be any type.
- If a customer wants a Dango that is "Spicy or Magical," then the player can create a Dango using at least 1x Spicy Mochi — the second and third Mochi can be any type. Or, the player can create a Dango using at least 1x Magical Mochi — the second and third Mochi can be any type.
- If a customer wants a Dango with specific flavors included, they are not picky about which order the flavors are in. For example, if they order a Creamy Rich Pineapple Dango, they will also accept a Pineapple Creamy Rich Dango, a Rich Pineapple Creamy Dango, and so on.
- If a customer wants a Boba with specific modifiers included, the player must follow their instructions. To learn more about modifiers, see the "Boba" wiki page.
