I am making a small cabinet for our guest room. The doors are flush and the cabinet has a face frame. What hinges do you folks reccomend?

Thanks in advance.

Cup hinges are adjustable after installation, so it is easy to get the gaps consistent. They're also hidden when the door is closed, which might be good for your design.

Knuckle hinges are visible when the door is closed. In more traditional furniture, that's part of the design.

Knife hinges are unobtrusive when the door is open or closed, but they're tricky to install.

Also there are some decorative surface mounts that could add lots of pretty and interest - but choosing such a hinge might be impacted by what style the cabinet is and what else is going on in the room. For example -
