Rock 'n Java
No cafe in LA is less spectacular.
In a town defined by glamour and wealth, Rock 'n Java is the anti-Starbucks. It's poorly lit, cramped, and barely able to make rent. Or maybe that's just the look it's going for. Located in North Westwood Village, its proximity to UCLA and decidedly non-corporate, anti-establishment ambience are likely what keep it afloat. It sure isn't the coffee.
Inside, one can experience the smells of slightly-burnt coffee, stale baked goods, and a hint of mildew circulated by rattling ceiling ducts. The sounds, depending on how lucky you are, are either alt-rock piped through the shop's sound system or some college kid with an acoustic guitar and more guts than talent. If you're really unlucky, it might be poetry. Full bands are only allowed in the back, and only after dark.

RP Hooks
Rock 'n Java is the place to go if you're feeling anti-establishment and don't care what coffee tastes like as long as it's strong and caffeinated. The coffee shop is primarily a hangout for:
- Local UCLA students who want to get away from their overpriced sardine-can apartments for a few hours.
- Up-and-coming musicians who can't afford a real venue or just want to get in front of an audience - any audience. As long as you're not actively trolling, management will let anybody play, for free.

Now Hiring
Looking for low-skilled, mindless minimum-wage employment? Look no further! If you want to RP that you're ICly employed at Rock 'n Java, go right ahead! No stats needed, management is just looking for warm bodies and has no expectations beyond 'don't steal from the cash register'.
- If you have Resources 2 or better, you should have a reasonable IC reason to be working at a dive like this.
- Employees do whatever needs to be done - barista, cashier, janitor, etc. Anyone hired at R&J isn't just a barista, for example. Keep that plunger handy.

Coffee Shop Heroes
An employee, or a fiend for bad coffee and bad music? Don't be ashamed -- find others with a similar lack of taste and standards! Feel free to edit this page and add a link to your character page below:
