Imagination Cafe

The Imagination Cafe isn’t just about grabbing a snack, it’s a fully functional cooking hub. Run by Usahana in City Town, this place becomes accessible during the A Whole New Menu quest once you reach friendship level 3 with her. Inside, you’ll find the Chef’s Station, where you can whip up treats like mochi, boba, and more using ingredients like rice, tapioca, and shaved ice.
Once you hit level 7 friendship and complete the Imagination Cafe quest, you can actually open the cafe to island residents and visitors. You’ll start seeing characters chilling outside, enjoying your creations. And if you’re lucky, Usahana’s Chef’s Kiss ability might double your dishes, making your cafe even more rewarding. If you love food or fun, this shop’s a flavorful favorite.
Dessert Boat

Craving something sweet? Make your way to the Dessert Boat in Gemstone Mountain, where Pompompurin serves up desserts all day long. It’s tucked away near the Oasis fast travel point in the top-left corner of the map, and it’s worth the journey. Inside, you’ll find the Dessert Machine, where you can craft pudding, ice cream, and other delights using Cactus Cream and other ingredients.
The real magic happens when your friendship with Pompompurin hits level 13. That’s when the Dessert Machine gets an upgrade, allowing you to mix in two additional ingredients for even fancier recipes. These desserts are perfect gifts for island residents, and who doesn’t love giving sweet treats to friends? The Dessert Boat is a hidden gem (pun intended) that delivers major joy.
