Cafe and Police station placement?

[bloomwaker]

I don't have any dreamies so the villager houses don't really matter. I wanted to potentially place the cafe behind the Plaza but the space is too small, and I definitely don't want to put it in front (and I think that space is too small, too). I suppose the other notable thing would be that I have a bus stop in front of that little pond near Re-Tail that I don't really want to move, though the cafe would fit there if there's really nowhere else.

The police station is a bit more of a toss-up. Thought of putting it on the left of Re-tail for convenience but I'm open to suggestions because I'm not super sure.

I guess I should also note I'm trying to keep these buildings away from the left side of the river.

maybe to the left of the top left pond

The cafe I always recommend having it backing on to something - the train track, river, etc. It's just so big you can't see very much behind it. I stuck mine out of the way in the bottom left corner of my town. Is the top left side of your map an option? Back it on to the train track? I would also agree with putting the police station by retail, it's a nice small building so wouldn't be an eyesore whichever one you choose and it's convienient

Trying to avoid the top left for now because I might designate that side as a residential area of sorts, but we'll see!

Between the pond and train station is probably one of the most appealing spots for the cafe so far because it has something behind it, and because it seems so welcoming somehow. Get off a train ride and a few steps away is a cozy cafe~

Oh yes! I didn't even see that spot as an option. That would work well if you're having it set right back towards the train track
And I always need my coffee when I'm off the train in the mornings...so it makes sense all round it's a shame it can't go behind the plaza really, is it Isabelle telling you there's not enough room? She's drives me mad with that...

Yeah, it's the first spot I tried, but there wasn't enough room, so I put a zen garden there for now, haha ;w; I don't want anyone moving in there but I generally forget to plot reset so it's not something I do.
