When I had that situation on a small vanity I screwed small blocks to the the back of the faceframe at the top. I think I had to cut a small rabbet on the parts where the door would strike so that the doors were even front to back after I stuck silicone bumpers to them.

I am using blum hinges. the only thing I have been able to come up with is to tack a small block in the corner of the opening for the door to stop on. My wife asks why can't I just use a clear silicon bumper. The reveal is small enough I could stick one to the top or side of the cabinet but I think it would eventually get knocked off. Anyone else delt with this and had a clever idea?
What about a stop block right next to the hinge? If you stop the door motion there, it can't overswing into the case.

FastCap makes these stoppers.

They are available many places including Amazon. But there are cheaper locations for larger quantities.

Blum makes a version too, but I don't know what it is called.
I like the stops at the top of the cabinet, but not at the bottom. It will become a "tripping" hazard as you remove stuff from the cabinet.

With a face frame; screw a washer (or penny) to the back, cover exposed half with felt pad. Frameless; drill for and glue shelf clip in place, add felt or rubber bumper.
