I live very close by in MDR and have been to Killer Shrimp before so really wanted to check out their breakfast restaurant attached on the south side of the building called Killer Café. I will say that the food taste and quality is pretty good although the service was horrible. Inside is very large with a large counter area and booth seating and each booth is very large and could comfortably sit at least six people. There is also a free parking lot attached so parking is really easy.
The issue that we had was we arrived at 10:30 for a Saturday brunch. When we walked in the server said have a seat anywhere you like. So we sat in the very first booth, among many other open booths. Many servers passed by us and as well as other employees but no one came to take our drink or food order or even check in with us for over 25 minutes. Finally, the older woman working there came over and said there was a mixup in how they are assigning tables and tried to explain it away, but she didn’t even say sorry or offer any consolidation or even make the issue right. One of the other servers overheard this and came over and took our order after waiting about 30 minutes. After that they expedited the order but everything took much longer than it should have. Also, pricing is more expensive here because you are paying for proximity to the water. However, the food quality is not to par with what they charge.
I started off with a slice of the Cinnamon Roll Cake and it felt much more like a piece of cake versus a traditional cinnamon roll. It was pretty dense so I would not recommend or order it again. For my breakfast I chose the Killer Shrimp Benedict, which I enjoyed for the most part although my eggs were a bit overcooked and the few pieces of shrimp just really did not fill me up.
Overall, I would give this place another try to see if the service was a one time issue given how close it is to where I live. I will say that it is not my favorite breakfast restaurant in the area, but I am going to give it a one more try in the future to see if I just got unlucky during my visit.

Great quality for the price! Staff is exceptionally attentive and pleasant. After spending some time away I’m happy to see this place reopened. I appreciated the M-F, 7-830a, breakfast special, which was a great deal for this neighborhood.

Killer Cafe is a funky, vibrant cafe tucked inside a trendy little corner of Venice. The avocado toast is great, but what really makes this place stand out is their turmeric lattes—they’re the perfect balance of spicy and creamy. They’ve got a great vibe here with colorful artwork on the walls. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the coffee beans they’re using. A fun place for a breakfast or brunch date

It was my first time visiting Killer Cafe and I must say, it is a great restaurant. We sat outside for the view and atmosphere. Something about fresh air, great food, and wonderful drinks that brings the complete dining experience together. I recommend Killer Cafe as an ultimate breakfast experience.

The place is awesome, the atmosphere is really nice and the service was amazing, I miss the taste in the food to be honest, from 3 people 2 had to use salt and add some sauce to feel the taste of the food, other than that was all good. Thank you!

The food was ok. No lid cover for the teapot so the waiter just place a cup to cover it very weird..

I was treating my friend to their shrimp, crab, and lobster stew and my friend went from very excited to disappointed because the seafood was all overcooked to that it was very chewy rather than tender. And the broth the seafood is in was watery and bland. For a $50.00 dish it just wasn’t very good. My Eggs Benedict wete perfectly fine. The best thing was the hash browns!

It was my husband's and my first time at the restaurant. We got there about noon and it was not busy. My husband loves Eggs Benedict and ordered the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict. He said they were the best he's had so far. I just had two eggs with wheat toast and fruit. It was good and the fruit was fresh. The staff was friendly and attentive.
