Cafe

The Cafe (spelled Café on the building's exterior) is a building in Castle Town where the party can interact with their recruits. Recruits can be placed at the tables, where they can be interacted with for unique dialogue, usually placing an order for food or drink.

In Chapter 2, before visiting the Cyber World, Top Chef runs the Cafe—he wanted to run the Top Bakery, but someone (Malius) is already working there, so he is serving pastries from the Cafe instead. If the party returned his repaired Top Cake in Chapter 1, Top Chef gives the party a SpinCake whenever they do not already have one. After returning from the Cyber World, Swatch takes over the Cafe and banishes Top Chef to the Top Bakery.

Interior

Tasque Manager, a Tasque, and a Swatchling appear in the Cafe if they are recruited in the Cyber World, separately from the placed recruits. As a result, Tasque Manager cannot be placed at a table, although additional Tasques and Swatchlings can.

In Chapter 4, if they have all been recruited, Tasque Manager, Sweet, K_K, and one Shadowguy perform a musical performance at the cafe's stage, attracting an audience of dancing Tasques and Shadowguys, and Castle Funk plays throughout Castle Town and the Cafe. The cafe also rebrands as a cat cafe, with Swatch now wearing cat ears and recommending cat-themed dishes and drinks.

Recruit placement

The Cafe has three tables — the northeast and northwest tables only have a single spot for a recruit, while the southern table has space for two recruits. Interacting with the Cafe's manager (Top Chef or Swatch) allows changing which recruits are currently placed at the tables.

The initial composition of the recruits are a Jigsawry at the northwest table, a Rudinn at the northeast table, and another Rudinn and a Hathy sharing the southern table (on the west and east sides of the table, respectively).

Normally, the recruits simply attempt to order drinks or snacks when interacted with. However, depending on the placement of other recruits in the Cafe, their dialogue can vary. In particular, many recruits have unique dialogue when sharing the southern table with particular recruits.

Tasque Manager cannot be placed at a table, as she appears inside the Cafe separately.
