How are the decals on that window three-dimensional and set inside the window?! Those are not decals then, that would a very serious glass cutting cost that I am sure a low end coffee shop could afford.
As is that raised letter Stay a While sign. Those kinds of raised letters are so expensive, especially if they have a different coloured sides like that. Making them hard to see red doesn’t seem worth the advertising budget of a coffee shop’s entire fiscal year.
If they can afford such extravagant signage at Stay A While, I would suspect that they could afford higher resolution furniture.

The place looks like it hasn’t seen a customer in years.
Shouldn’t it be “at” Ruby Lake and not “in”? Unless they drown all the tourists.

I know, let sleeping dogs lie, but I felt compelled comment on this after seeing it.
Looking at the 1248×1996 pixel image of this cover, I saw that the coffee cup, the lettering “STAY A WHILE” and “COFFEE SHOP” are higher resolution than the background photo. They are obviously pasted on in a paint program.
Only the ‘STAY A WHILE” signage on the hanging sign is angled to match the perspective of the hanging sign. The door “STAY A WHILE”, the coffee cup on the inside window, and the front window “COFFEE SHOP” are at 0°. Pasted on the door above and below the signage are horizontal bars at 0° that don’t match the perspective angle of the top and bottom of the door frame.
With just a little more effort to match the paste-ons to the resolution and angles of the background, this cover could have been better.
The graphics workshop programs I use for my own funsies allow blur/sharpen/enhance edge effects and skew by angle in one degree increments. There are probably more sophisticated packages out there that allow you to skew paste-on-art to match background perspective.
.
Side Note: Awhile/A While might be an attemmpt to be cutsy with the shop name. But. “A While” is “an uncertain duration of time” while “awhile” is “for a short time”. A stay for “awhile” could be for the summer tourist season, but a stay for “a while” could be awhile or forever… and ever… and ever.

Wow.

Needs a stick man drawing of a guy holding a trophy in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.
STAY A WHILE on 2 signs. Evidently no one got the memo.
Who wants to sit outside or enter a shop with a bird houseat the entrance?
