Craft Food Shop Restock Times & Rotation Guide (2026)

Last Updated: February 17, 2026

⚡ Quick Answer

Shops in Craft Food restock every 5 to 10 minutes, but it depends on the server instance. Private Servers allow you to force a restock by rejoining.

Shop Locations & Rarity

Knowing where ingredients spawn is half the battle.

1. Pantry Shop (The Basics)

  • Location: Near the initial spawn point.
  • Restock Rate: Very Fast (~3 mins)
  • Key Stock:
    • Rice (Always in stock)
    • Egg (Common)
    • Flour, Sugar, Milk (Common)

2. Veggie Stand (The Rotation)

  • Location: Green striped awning, left of spawn.
  • Restock Rate: Medium (~5 mins)
  • Key Stock:
    • Lettuce & Tomato: Uncommon.
    • Carrot, Potato: Common (Best for Curry Rice).
    • Bean: Uncommon (Needed for Pad Thai!).

3. Fruit Stand (The Bottleneck)

  • Location: Orange awning, far right corner.
  • Restock Rate: Slow (~7-10 mins)
  • Key Stock:
    • Lemon: LEGENDARY Rarity. If you see this, BUY ALL OF IT.
    • Strawberry: Rare.
    • Banana: Common.
    • Blueberry: Rare (for Blueberry Cheesecake).

4. Butcher (Protein)

  • Location: Red building next to Pantry.
  • Restock Rate: Medium (~5 mins)
  • Key Stock:
    • Meat: The only protein from here. Always in stock.

The “Server Hop” Strategy

If you are farming Taco Rice and need Lemons, waiting 10 minutes is too slow.

  1. Check Fruit Stand.
  2. Empty? Leave Game.
  3. Join a different server (or rejoin your Private Server).
  4. Check Fruit Stand again.
  5. Repeat until you find Lemons.

Pro Tip: This method creates approx. $50,000 extra profit per hour compared to waiting.
