Cosy Stardew Valley Café Challenge
Joy’s Café Challenge 🌻
The goal of this challenge is to have a self-sufficient “café” at your farm, but you can only make money from ingredients and dishes on your menu.
Requirements to complete the challenge:
- Cook and sell at least one of each dish from your menu with ingredients you’ve farmed, cooked and prepared on your farm. Find menus to choose from below.
-
Only make money from menu dishes and their ingredients.
RULES:
- You can only sell ingredients from dishes on your menu, like eggs, rhubarb, sugar etc. and the cooked dishes on your menu.
- You can also sell menu dishes if you find them somewhere else, yay garbage cookies!
- It's okay to get your coffee from the coffee machine and fruit from the cave.
Balanced (original) mode:
- In the balanced mode you need a Mill, Kitchen and to repair the Bus Stop (or get Rhubarb & Beet seeds from the Travelling Cart.)
- Balanced menu requires you to farm ingredients for, cook and sell: Cookies, Chocolate Cake, Rhubarb Pie and Coffee or Green Tea.
- Money you make from completing quests or opening mail should be used for decorations on the farm or buying hats. You decide what to do with the starter money.
- You can add Bonus Dishes to your menu (check below). N.B.: If you sell ingredients from one of these dishes you also need to cook that dish and sell it at least once to complete the challenge.
