Marlo's Morning Delights is a breakfast restaurant in Starsand Town with one defining feature: it is only open for five hours each day. The doors open at 6:00 AM and close at 11:00 AM, giving you a narrow window to stop in. If you sleep past the morning or get absorbed in farm chores, you miss it entirely.
The shop sells hot breakfast meals that grant temporary gameplay buffs, similar to the cooked food you can make yourself but without needing to gather ingredients or own the right cooking station. It fills a niche for players who want a quick buff boost at the start of the day without spending time cooking.
The restaurant is in Starsand Town, adjacent to Ethereal Styles (Lunelle's clothing shop) near the town plaza. If you are coming from the plaza, look for the smaller storefront next to the clothing store. It is easy to walk past on your first visit since the building does not stand out the way larger shops like Zerine's General Store do.
6:00 AM to 11:00 AM (5 hours daily). This is the shortest operating window of any shop in the game. For comparison:
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Zerine's General Store | open 24 hours |
Soluna Cafe Lodge | open 24 hours |
Aureleaf Kitchen | 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM |
Most other shops | 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM |
Marlo's Morning Delights | 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM |
The early opening time does have an upside: it is the first shop available each morning. You can stop in at 6:00 AM before any other vendor has opened, grab a buff meal, and head straight to your tasks.
The menu consists of hot breakfast meals that provide temporary stat buffs. These are fully prepared, ready-to-eat items. You do not need cooking stations, recipes, or ingredients to benefit from them.
The specific items, prices, and buff effects are not yet fully documented in external guides (the game is in Early Access as of early 2026). What is confirmed is that the food here provides gameplay buffs comparable to meals cooked at home, making the shop useful for players who have not invested in their own cooking setup yet.
Marlo runs the restaurant. He is a minor NPC in Starsand Town and is not romanceable. He does not appear among the 15 romanceable characters, and detailed gift preference data for him has not been published in available guides. His schedule outside of shop hours (11:00 AM onward) is not well documented.
The limited hours create a genuine time-management decision. Mornings in Starsand Island are prime time for farming (watering, harvesting), fishing (morning-exclusive fish), and checking the Bulletin Board for daily requests. Squeezing in a trip to Marlo's before 11:00 means either waking up early or accepting that some other morning task gets delayed.
For players who cook their own buff food, Marlo's is less essential. But in the early game, before you have a good kitchen setup and a library of recipes, buying a buff breakfast here is one of the simplest ways to start each day with a stat advantage.
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Visit at 6 | 00 AM sharp if you want to combine the trip with other morning errands. The shop opens before most other vendors. |
If you are heading into the Moonlit Forest for the day, grab a breakfast buff first. The boost stacks with any food you eat later. | -- |
The 11 | 00 AM closing time is firm. Do not expect to stop by at noon; the doors will be shut. |
As your cooking skills improve, you may rely on Marlo's less. But in the first few weeks of gameplay, it is a convenient shortcut. | -- |
If you consistently miss the 6 | 00 to 11:00 window, the Soluna Cafe Lodge is open 24 hours and sells stamina recovery items, though with different buff options. |
Item | Description |
|---|---|
Shops and vendors | all 16 shops in Starsand Town |
Soluna Cafe Lodge | 24-hour cafe for drinks and snacks |
Cooking | cooking your own buff meals at home |
