Put mine on the curve that my river has, because it's like "a special place for a special caf?", you follow me? Thought that's be cool. Plus, I have space to build up a little garden just next to it~
Honestly, I didn't put too much thought into where I wanted my caf? to go. I just had a nice little spot near the campsite, near my other character's house that I thought looked nice for a caf?.
I haven't built the cafe yet because I can't figure out where I want it. I may end up either putting it overlooking the beach, or by a bend in the river where it would be surrounded on 3 sides by the river
I placed mine originally next to the area where alot of villagers' homes were and where alot of them would walk around. There's not as many clustered there anymore, but most of them would have easy access to it. That's how I decided to place the cafe.
Another reason is that it's near the ocean so you can go to the beach/sitting area in my town and enjoy a nice coffee break when you're dreaming/exploring the town. It's also a pit stop/break place for Isabelle and Copper in case they ever decide to order a quick cup of joe but can't leave work for too long^^
I squished it next to Doc's house, it's actually kind of in an awkward spot, I feel. but whatever. I don't care too much, my whole town is awkward. lol I think it'll be better when it's actually there. I'll get used to it. :y
