The Roost

The Roost is a café located downstairs in the museum of and, offering respite for all who wish to visit. Run by Brewster, it serves various blends (although you cannot pick the blend) of coffee for 200 Bells, one cup purchasable per day. Other special characters, such as Rover, Pelly, Kapp'n, Phyllis, and Mr. Resetti, will occasionally sit in The Roost, along with some of the player's town residents. The villagers appear in The Roost drinking a cup of coffee in Wild World and City Folk. In, the player will be able to place this when they are mayor and they are now able to drink coffee outside.

Every Saturday night after 8pm, K.K. Slider (in Wild World and City Folk) will play music for the player. Just like in earlier titles, you can pick any song from the music list, or have one randomly selected. In Wild World, you can hear another one of K.K.'s songs if there is no room in your pockets to hold a piece of music. In City Folk, K.K. will give encores, but will only give you the first song listened to, unless, as in Wild World you have no room for it. To request a song, it must be typed exactly as it is written, including spaces, periods, symbols, and capitals.

Gyroid Storage
In City Folk, the coffee was given a meaningful purpose, unlike in Wild World where it was there for fun and to make friends with Brewster. If Brewster is visited every day for seven days, rather than just making friends with him, after time drinking his coffees will eventually lead him to ask the player if they would like to store their gyroids with him. This frees up lots of space in the players house's closet and rooms. He only keeps one of each gyroid though. However, to achieve this, the coffee must be drunk right away while its still piping hot. It is possible to see a few gyroids on Brewster's shelves. This is easiest to do during a K.K. Slider show.

Animal Crossing: The Movie
In Animal Crossing: The Movie, Ai comes to The Roost in order to find Apollo. Once she arrives, she meets Cesar and Cyrano. Once Apollo arrives, she delivers the package that he had ordered from Tom Nook, then apologizes for the destruction of his flowers, which she had accidentally crushed during the delivery. Apollo compliments Brewster on his coffee, takes his package, and leaves.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf


The Roost reappears in as a Public Works Project, obtained from Blathers 7 days after renovating the Museum. In addition to buying coffee, if the player buys coffee enough, he/she can hold a part time job and serve other residents.
