The presence of an "Engen" gas station is a strong indicator of Southern Africa, particularly South Africa. The architecture and the specific style of the signage are common in urban South African settings. The "PARKING" painted on the ground and the general street layout suggest a busy commercial area. I am fairly confident this is in South Africa.

The "Stuff Cafe" sign confirms I am in an English-speaking environment, consistent with South Africa. The architecture, including the red pillars and the style of the building, is very characteristic of older, historic commercial buildings found in many South African towns. The Engen gas station remains a key anchor for this region. I am confident this is a town center in South Africa.
