#and destroy

The vast majority of situations can be resolved peacefully, although some will be more difficult than others. It is always worthwhile to try. If a peaceful resolution cannot be achieved, however, do not hesitate.

The people behind Revenge Of (Comics and Pinball) opened a coffee shop next door. And Destroy Coffee and Gaming is set up so that you can play buy and play games like Dungeons and Dragons.

Score: 41/50

Food: 4/5 – There’s a case of pastries from LA’s Cuban bakery, Café Tropical. I spotted that coffee cake, muffins, cookies, and Cuban flaky pastries.

Coffee: 4/5 –  Choose from drip, cold brew, matcha, and espresso drinks. They use Counter Culture Coffee. My cappuccino was decent but bitter

Wi-fi: 5/5 – Free, unlimited, password posted at the register

Ambiance: 4/5 – Comfy dungeon, darker colors, wood, fake stone walls, exposed wood ceiling beams

Noise: 4/5 – Quiet though the music was loud. The music was mellow though. Very few people talk. It felt weird when people had a conversation.

Plugs: 5/5 – Many

Parking: 4/5 – Street parking, shouldn’t be too hard to find

Comfort: 4/5 – All the chairs are padded except for the ones at the counter. All the chairs have backs too. No small tables.

Bathroom: 4/5 – One unisex, ask for the code

Art: 3/5 – None unless you count the words And Destroy painted on one wall

Tips: They have drink specials too. It’s already popular with campers. Open 7 days a week.

The people behind Revenge Of (Comics and Pinball) opened a coffee shop next door. And Destroy Coffee and Gaming is set up so that you can play buy and play games like Dungeons and Dragons. I saw several people playing games and many more on their laptops using the free wi-fi (maybe playing games?).

It’s a comfortable space that’s somewhat dark and cold (dungeon like), although there are windows looking out on Eagle Rock Blvd. I like the faux stone walls, like you’d see in a dungeon. There are several long communal tables with overhead lights, gaming tables, a couch, and two cushy chairs. The space and furniture feel new.

The food and drink are good but could be improved relative to other coffee shops in the area. I don't think there's a kitchen. But, they have a case of pastries from LA’s Cuban bakery, Café Tropical. I spotted that coffee cake, muffins, cookies, and Cuban flaky pastries.

For coffee, choose from drip, cold brew, matcha, and espresso drinks. They use Counter Culture Coffee. My cappuccino ($5) was decent but quite bitter. The foam art was simple.

They have drink specials too. It’s already popular with campers. Open 7 days a week.
