Cafe Building

[Mairmalade]

Loved the cafe in New Leaf and would welcome a separate building in New Horizons with open arms (but maybe decrease the width by 1-2 spaces).

While I am rather nostalgic about the Wild World cafe being in the basement of the museum, I fell in love with the New Leaf version that was standalone a lot. I'm not sure if I buy that Brewster will have an exhibit for gyroids or not, but if he does, then I suppose it would make sense for it to be an attachment to the museum. But I would much prefer to have it as a standalone building. I love the idea of expanding my little "main street" area of buildings, and I would looove it if I could put my cafe on the beach! With a cute little bar area outside and etc. So I really hope that it's a separate building.

I think I’d like for it to be a building. I have a couple spots in mind for it, and I feel like putting it back in the museum would be a downgrade after new leaf.

A new, separate, cosy-looking building for the cafe would be great! I feel Brewster deserves his own space. Inside, there could be a small area selling little things such as seasonal snacks and balloons that you could hold or give to your islanders. And a table and chair next to a small bookshelf. And a gyroid-making corner where you could custom build and paint your own. (I'm going to be so disappointed when this update finally happens... )

I'd rather have it inside the museum or outside like Harv's Island. My island is almost done and fully decorated to have something like another cafe. While it's good to have an actual coffee shop that you can interact with but I feel like it will get boring after a while (unless they add more feature other than just ordering/having a job). It's not something new to me that deserves another space and it will probably end up just another building. My cafe areas are probably more elaborately designed. Okay, that probably came up too negative haha. I'm fine having it or not and inside or outside, I guess.

i’d definitely prefer it as a standalone building again - having it be in the museum would be nostalgic but i already have a few ideas for the area outside of the roost if it is added as a standalone building so i’d love to be able to bring those ideas to fruition. i think the only ‘building’ that i want in the museum is the museum gift shop/observatory run by celeste but honestly i’m not super picky aha

I would love it if it's in its own building - and I'd love it even more if we had some choice over the look of the building. A bit like HHD. I'm not sure I want to design the inside, because I like that the shops have their own unique decorations and items that we don't have, but choosing the exterior would be good. Then they could let us do the same for Nook's and Able's when they upgrade. Didn't dataminers find Lottie?

i'd enjoy having an external cafe, but it really depends on the design. the look of the buildings doesn't really fit my island theme so i voted for inside the museum, because i anticipate it looking off. but idk. i wish we had the option to alter building exteriors like we could in new leaf sometimes!

 

[Snowifer]

I'd like a separate building as we'd be able to decorate the area around it like it was a cafe.

 

[Xeleron]

I don't think there's any space for it in the museum, the attic and basement already have their own use. So I think they would add a new building, and personally, I'd rather have a new building since I already have an outdoor sitting area created.

After a bit of thinking, i'd have to say that i'd rather the cafe be placed within or on the side of the museum. While a separate building would be cool, having it inside the museum means I have more building space around my island in general, as I already don't like having to fit the massive museum building in as it is. Plus, I think creating your own little open cafe's and restaurant areas around your island is already a lot of fun, so I always have the option of adding a dedicated cafe area anyway without needing a big building for one.

 

[tajikey]

I've already got a perfect spot for it in my shopping district, so hopefully it's a separate building.

 

[sleepydreepy]

I think a separate building would be more fun!

 

[moon_child]

Separate building. I understand it’ll be a bit of a hassle for people who already finished their islands but it’s just sad if it’s gonna end up in the museum without it’s own building.

 

[Roxxy]

Hope it’s part of another building as running out of space. Just made a diner shack so competition there . Maybe if Ables could be expanded then it could be a department store cafe ?

 

[sarosephie]

I think that if you have a new building, it'll help people make cute outdoor patios. Because I'm very certain that people we'll have themed cafes. Or maybe a BrewsterBucks (now I low-key wanna do that tbh).
I'm not really a big fan of outdoor cafes and I really don't like that I have to do an outdoor Cafe. (I need a roof ). and I really don't want to create a whole new character and drop about 7 million bells to completely pay off the house loan!

I recently began redesigning my island. Like a restructuring. And I have set aside space for three to four buildings just in case an update brings in more buildings.

My sense is that “New Horizons” will have it figured how people are designing their islands and will be faced with the following choice: expand island space—or consolidate some buildings.

I created and posted a thread topic about potential of consolidation—like taking Able Sisters and moving in Kicks (basement), Label (second floor), and Gracie (third floor) on separate floors.

I don’t think people were giving this much consideration.

 

[Bugs]

I want it in the museum, but for a pretty selfish reason - it wouldn't fit my town theme and I'd have to figure out somewhere to stuff it away

 

[Mo Notony]

I'm fine with it being in the museum. I liked it there in the old game but I guess I'd be ok if it had to be its own building. Preference is in the museum though.

 

[Underneath The Stars]

A lot of people have space issues, it seems, which I can understand- I actually assumed we'd be getting one eventually and planned for it from the beginning Hence why I'd be bummed if we couldn't place a proper building!

i have the same answer as you as well, even though it used to be a museum feature. they already introduced a separate cafe, so why go back? i designed my island with also being open to changes, knowing there are updates in the future and knowing there's no way there won't be a cafe added--regardless if it's a museum add-on or not.
as for others with space issues, i don't understand how can people design a full blown outdoor cafe, but has a problem with a building coming that is probably as smaller than their outdoor space. but it is what it is & everyone can have different opinions. personally, it would be cute to have a cafe building AND design the outside of it as an outdoor cafe too. like, why not have both right.
