The diner tile and parlor wall go perfect with rooms like this.

The desserts case and salad bar are key furniture pieces.

Caf? K.K. is your best music for this.

For a Deli, you might want to use the Modern Table, I think.

Alright, I think I may be able to help since I have like two cafes in my town.. ^^'

Okay, so it depends on what kind of cafe you're going for. Are you going for something like The Roost? Something that looks like a normal cafe, something humble?

I think you could use a few classic tables for this and pair it with some matching chairs - don't be afraid to mix and match sets because in my opinion, the classic chairs don't go with the classic tables at all. Use some chair that looks both comfy and matches the color scheme in your cafe.

When I'm designing rooms, I think, "What would be in an actual cafe? What would be a necessity?" and I search up pictures of real cafes or hotel designs and pick out the ones I like best. Then I go in AC:NL and I find items that look like that. For example, you could use the Brewster set and put it on a counter in front of the cafe for a Starbucks sort of look - where the customers can watch you make the food/beverage.

Items that you could use in a cafe are also some plants for a scenic look, or maybe a dessert case in front of the cafe. You could scan a QR code and put it as a menu in front of the general line area too if you want.

You could even add some things that aren't in a cafe - maybe a humble fireplace or a grandfather clock. Lighting also plays a crucial role - it could match the cafe. If you're going for a classic cafe - like I mentioned above - you could use a fancy sconce or some other furniture item that compliments the room nicely.

If you don't really care about the prices of the furniture in the catalog, you could just buy a bunch of cafe stuff you think would look nice and put it in the corner of your room. You could see if it will look nice. It could sort of be a test sort of thing.

However, if you're going for a cute cafe, you could use the sweets set and use classic tables again. You could use marshmallows for the chairs and if you want the customers to sit at the counter (cute cafe or not) you could use a pipe stool and personalize it to your liking.

If you want music, you could use a jukebox or a music player. Cafe K.K works just fine for music or you could use a more elegant one.

For more seating tips, you could use a sofa - like a chaise lounge or a cream sofa since it matches the classic look. You could also use the alpine set since it looks nice. I suggest the alpine cupboard for your kitchen and the alpine kitchen cart for waiters/waitresses to push around to deliver orders. For a chef, you could use brewstoids and for a cashier, you could use a mannequin.

If you're wondering what foods to display, you could put some stewpots in the kitchen or put a cake on display in front of the cafe. You could also use a berliner or any other cute foods that might look good in the cafe.

Please PM me if you need any more tips!
 
I am not entering the giveaway, but here are some pix of my kitchen/Cafe room ... Still a WIP as I am waiting on some food items and I have since changed my tile to Office flooring (looks better, I think)
I used Alpine furniture and Chefs outfit ... Kinda cute, no? Lol

For a cafe/bakery, I'm thinking the neutral wall and exhibit room floor would be best, as it doesn't interfere with bright colors and you can make it adjust to any unusual items you want to add. Music would either be Cafe K.K, K.K Soul, or in my personal opinion, K.K Stroll for some upbeat music. Furniture would be like the dessert case, exhibit rope partition, and 7-11 items such as the cash register, so at least it'll show that you can purchase food in the room. I would go with minimalist furntiture for the chairs and tables since as I said for the wallpaper and flooring, it won't interfere with any bright colors and perhaps provide a good lighting for the room. Use kitchen items as well, such as the sink and corner, kitchen island, and others like the rice cooker, toaster, etc. Food items would be sweet items, such as the chocolate cake, berliner, birthday cake, and maybe even the Harvest Festival ingredients. Sweets furniture could also be an option for a literal food-themed room/cafe and bakery.
 
I'm too lazy to actually save photos to my computer so I just took a very poor quality image of my screen XD image (7).jpg In here a have pieces from the sweet series, specifically the sweets sofa, sweet mini table, sweets lamp, and sweets player playing Cafe K.K. On the mini table, there's a shaved ice lamp. I also have 2 dessert cases and 2 chocolate fountains (one customized to be white chocolate). There's a cash register and I think the checkout counter (pretty sure that's the name). The tables, clock, and couches are rococo pieces customized to white and on the tables there's chocolate, siphon, espresso maker, coffee beans, cream and sugar, coffee cup, and coffeemaker. The table closer to the front has two bread boxes, one customized to be marble bread. The mannequin is wearing the cafe uniform. There's also 4 marshmallow stools and a music stand meant to look like a menu. Hope this helped!
 
If you're going for a more of a higher-end caf?, you can use some of the furniture items from Gracie, albeit sparingly. However, I doubt you'll be going for that. You could have a long box sofa going around part of one side and all of another, and just use that as your seating, with classic/anything square that's 1x1 for tables. Use the cash register and two checkout counters with a dessert case either adjacent or behind it, a soda case/ice-cream case thrown in there, and a slushie machine in the back. Have a jukebox or turntable playing Bubblegum K.K. or Caf? K.K.
 
My entry is based off some of the flower items, and some color combinations that I think would look good together.

For the guest tables, use the Harvest Table. The floor will be from the Harvest Series as well. The wall will be the office wall - it seems odd, but it looks good with all the other colors and it's similar to how a homely little cafe would be. That's what I'm going for here, a small cafe you would find in a small town.

Chairs will be the Azelia stool and Flower Chair.

Front table - empty. Fruit basket on the table.

Back table - two gyroids (Croakoids or Lullaboids) are enjoying a Chocolate Cake together.

On the walls - Festival Lantern customized with either a Blossom Tee or a Daisy Tee. Cherry Blossom clock and Hibiscus clock on the back walls. Against the back wall is a Crane Game.

On the right is the kitchen. There's a kitchen corner, kitchen sink, modern table, and pansy table, from back to front, all against the wall. On the Modern and Pansy Tables put either some perfect fruits or some other food items - maybe milk from the Harvest Festival. Put a pot rack on the wall above the modern table.

In the middle of the room, off to the right will be your cash register and such. From back to front there's a Desert Case, Candy Jar, Modern table (with a Cash Register on it), and a Tall Lullaboid. Gyroids are your workers and patrons. Consider putting one to work in the kitchen as well.

Hope you like it!
 
Sorry if these ideas were stated already, i didn't read through all of them before i decided to enter.

What i did in my caf? was use the 24-hour shop counter as my check out counter and surrounded an area off using the dessert cases (2 of them). I recolored the Ranch Dresser to white from cyrus and lined those against the wall to place a coffee maker, take out coffee and a bread box on and i even made little menus like the ones at starbucks and hung those on the wall. I also made a sign that has a coffee cup on it with my town name printed above it and displayed it so it's on a little stand. I have a recolored white box sofa sectional surrounding a classic table with a chocolate fountain on it. 2 other classic tables are in the room and have a coffee cup that you obtain from Brewster on them and have 2 marshmallow chairs each. Along the very front wall (invisible unless you swivel the camera) i have a salad bar and another dessert case against the corner and a jukebox and soft serve lamp right by the entry way. The jukebox is also playing K.K Bossa which is one of my favorite songs in the game. The flooring is the neutral floor and the wallpaper is the sweets wallpaper which i might replace.

My second character, Natalie, whom has the caf? room in the second floor of her house is wearing the barista outfit and a hairbow wig with white shoes. Her house is either going to be themed as a mall or a hotel because i keep going back and forth between the two ideas.

Hope i gave you some ideas C:
