Bobby's Coffee Shop
22821 Ventura BlvdQuite literally the most popular restaurant in Woodland Hills! Dan's has been featured in countless magazines and signed celebrity souvenirs hang on the wall. Sandwich subs range from $7 to $12 depending on size and 2 people could split a large one easy.
Personally, I love Dan's they are great and walk able distance (~1 mile)
Downside:
They are closed Sundays.
The parking lot has like 3 spaces that are hardly empty. Metered parking is on the street, if you can find any. This place is always full, so be prepared to wait about 15 mins or a little more for your order.

Interesting items to choose from - I especially like their draught selection and they have an interesting drink menu. This place has a great atmosphere and attracts young professionals in their mid 20's to 30's.

Awesome shopping strip along the main walkway with lots of vendors, entertainers, artists, and novelty restaurants. You can bike, walk, run, skate along the side walk that goes as far as Santa Monica Beach. The beach front is clean and the water is nice during the summer. Good place for beginning surfers. Muscle beach is here along with a mini skate park full of experienced skateboarders that do some pretty amazing tricks!!

Spectacular concerts during the Summer is personally a must every year. Any seat is an amazing spot. Bring some wine, a nice dinner, a blanket and seat cushion or buy something there for 3x the regular price. There are nearby shuttles (about $8 cash first come first served) that take you directly to the Bowl so you don't have to worry about the insane parking and the parking costs. Check out their website for more info on shuttle locations, prices and featured events.
