Checking Out The Coffee And Breakfast Combo At Panini Cafe Woodland Hills
Panini Cafe Woodland Hills
A couples weeks back, when it was raining nearly every day, I decided to stop by Panini Cafe in Woodland Hills again for another delicious breakfast. A reader of one of my previous posts had made a comment that they were not a big fan of the coffee, so I figured it was my obligation to check it out.
Coffee at Panini Cafe
As you might imagine, since Panini Cafe is “Mediterranean” themed, the coffee is quite strong. I can see that this would not be for everyone. Thankfully, I am the kind of person that can cream and sugar up any cup of coffee to my satisfaction, so I had no major issues with it.
For breakfast, I decided on the Breakfast Combo - 2 pieces of French Toast, 2 Eggs Any Style, 2 Pieces of Pepper Bacon or Apple Chicken Sausage with Roasted Potatoes or Fresh Fruit Cup – for $10.95. I went with the bacon and scrambled eggs, and additionally threw caution to the wind and added Swiss cheese to the eggs for about a dollar more.
As far as I’m concerned it was a great breakfast. I’m a sucker for French Toast, which I previously checked out at BJ’s, and they also cook up a mean slice at Panini Cafe. The rest of the dish was great, including the bacon, and I’m a particular fan of the roasted potatoes. It’s a great power breakfast for a busy blogger like myself!

Don’t Forget About The Ventura Blvd Tree Planting Tomorrow, 3/27
Don’t forget about the tree planting on Ventura Blvd tomorrow, Saturday March 27th at 8am. I did a drive-by of the general area the other day, and it is interesting to see all the voids in the sidewalk where there should be trees. Makes me wonder how or why they were removed over the years. It will be nice to see them restored.

Dear Community Member,
For many years, Ventura Boulevard has been experiencing a decline in the number of healthy trees on its sidewalks due to aging trees or their illegal removal. Community activists have decided to take action by coming together to form the Woodland Hills Community Coalition and together address this issue. Thanks to the generous financial support of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Chamber of Commerce and the Million Trees LA initiative, 22 large young trees will be planted and cared for on Ventura Blvd. between De Soto Ave. and Canoga Ave. on March 27, 2010 at 8am. (Please see attached flyer for more details).
We would like to request your most enthusiastic support toward this project and invite you to come out with your family, friends, and co-workers to plant trees and have an overall great time with the neighborhood. These will be your trees and we want you to be a part of this great project.
If you have any specific questions about this project, please contact any of the following coordinators:
Diana Williams, Woodland Hills-Tarzana Chamber of Commerce at (818) 347-4737 Lisa Sarno, Office of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at Lisa.Sarno@lacity.org Octaviano Rios, Office of Councilman Dennis P. Zine at (818) 756-8848Thank you for your care of the community and we look forward to seeing you there.

Suge Knight And Company Rob Man In Woodland Hills Monday Night?
Suge Knight wanted for questioning by LAPD in Woodland Hills parking lot robbery.
Woodland Hills truly is becoming the nexus of the universe for rapper based crime. A new report has come out that Suge Knight and a crew of henchman robbed a man in Woodland Hills on Monday March 22, 2010.
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles police want to talk to Suge Knight after a rapper initially accused the former Death Row Records chief of robbing him before recanting the story.
Detective Jeff Briscoe says 35-year-old Jerold Ellis, who uses the name Yukmouth, reported he was talking to Knight on Monday night in a Woodland Hills supermarket parking lot about a debt that another rapper allegedly owes Knight.
Yukmouth filed a police report saying 10 other men arrived, knocked him down and took his watch, medallion and other jewelry worth $92,000. He wasn’t badly hurt and declined medical treatment.
Briscoe says Ellis identified Knight as a suspect but later recanted. However, the stolen items haven’t been recovered and the investigation continues.
The Associated Press couldn’t immediately reach Knight for comment.
