Design a modern and minimalist cafe facade, featuring a juxtaposition of weathered bricks and expansive glass windows that reflect a sophisticated blend of historical and contemporary architecture. Capture a shot that embodies the essence of the space using a high-end DSLR camera, such as a Canon EOS R5 with a 50mm f/1.2 lens. Ensure the image is illuminated by the soft, natural light of a clear afternoon sky, accentuating the clean lines and minimalist design elements. The final image should be in ultra-realistic 16K resolution, revealing many details, and showcasing a few patrons enjoying the ambiance. Maintain a clear and unobstructed view of the architectural beauty by avoiding the presence of cars or pedestrians. Add a subtle artistic touch with tasteful plant arrangements and muted, elegant signage to enhance the aesthetic appeal.
