Killer Cafe

Showed up 10:30ish for brunch. Great Bloody Mary, Riley was a superb waitress. Food was good though not as spicy as I expected. I didn’t have a tip pre applied. Maybe the complaining about auto tipping are parties of 6 or more? Which like most restaurants the menu warns you about.

The food was amazing. My friends and I ordered at least 5 different rolls and we loved them. I can’t wait to go back, sit outside, and enjoy the nice view!

I think our server was tired we had a rather large group. But everything was great food was good.

We spent a week in MDR and this was by far our favourite breakfast place and not that far off our top place to eat overall. Food is freshly prepared using quality ingredients and the staff / owners are just lovely. The breakfast burrito was my favourite.

Super relaxing patio on the waterfront. Dog friendly place, so lots of cute pups come with their people. The food was good, and nice portions. Above all, the service was great. Going back again this weekend for brunch!

We ate here several times whilst staying at MDR. I could not fault. Excellent customer service. Waiting staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. We ate a full and varied range, from omelettes to Burritos and simple eggs. If you never been here then all I will say is give it a go.

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

Cool spot, they have added some of the killer shrimp dishes during breakfast hours, so I had that, killer shrimp dish has a good flavor when cooked right, I give it the 4 stars because is a hit or miss with the bread and they way they make the dish, other than that it was cool, manager is friendlier now. Over all a good spot to have breakfast while enjoying a nice view of yachts

Overall, I liked the breakfast. My friend and I shared the breakfast burrito and the eggs/shrimp and grits dish. Both were good, solid meals. The grits with shrimp were very tasty but the eggs were too runny for my taste. The breakfast burrito was good (lots of shrimp) but felt like it was missing something. The hash-brown potatoes and the home fries potatoes were very tasty. Overall, I would be back!

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.

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!

Nice clean place with good atmosphere. Was not impressed with service and food was pricey for what you get. 18 dollar bottomless mimosas aren't bottomless if refills hardly come around.

They have a free parking lot and both indoor and outdoor seating which was nice. I had the smoked salmon benedict and while it was good the service was bad, and unfortunately that's the reason for the poor rating. Dee was friendly to all of the tables around me but for some reason she wasn't to me. She greeted and talked to other tables, but not with me. One example is when she asked me if everything was ok with the food but keep walking (away) as I answered her. She repeatedly checked on other tables but wouldn't even look in my direction so that I could pay my bill. A different server came to my table to clear my plate and he brought my the bill instead. He was nice but he didn't return my credit card and I had to go find him to retrieve it.

Unfortunately, my experience at Killer Café was disappointing. The food lacked freshness and appeared to have been sitting for an extended period before being served. Additionally, staff interactions were unprofessional, with visible disputes over table assignments. Overall, the service and quality fell short of expectations.

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. Update 12/3/25: Oh no! I visited a few days ago and got tip jacked! The assistant manager (I think) told me "sometimes, you know, you can hit the wrong number." No dude, your employees are just committing wire fraud and your response makes it clear why.

Potatoes, English muffin from crab Benedict and toast were all burnt. The only good thing were the pancakes, poached eggs and chorizo and eggs.

The food was not edible, I ordered from the killer shrimp specialty section, eggs Benedict with Killer Shrimp. The food namesake too the restaurant. I should have sent it back... but I didn't want to be that person and kill the vibe for my Husband who was excited to be there. So here is what was wrong with my dish. The killer shrimp was chopped and looked old even decaying, and appeared to be from frozen or perhaps even canned. But I was hungry and didn't want to judge the book by its cover. I ate a small piece, it didn't taste good, but despite the dreadful appearance it didn't taste rotton. I picked up another small piece and that piece tasted spoiled and smelled like cat food. I took off the shrimp from the muffin, ate the eggs which were fine. I always ask for my sauce on the side, because sometimes I don't like the way restaurants make it. So the eggs were baked and fine enough. Then I picked up half of my muffin and spread a thin film of hollandaise sauce on it like butter. I took a small bite and gagged! The sauce was like old soured milk found in the back of the fridge months old. It made me want to instantly vomit. I had ordered a 12 dollar fruit cup, despite being rather small it was actually fresh. I got a bit of the hollandaise sauce on my fingers when I picked up the muffin. The stench on my hands was aweful, even after I washed my hands throughly, I sprayed perfume on. My fingers to stop the gag reflex I was getting from the sour milk smell. I left hungry... My husband got a cheese burger and fries. He said it was very average, he was hungry also, and ate it. But his potatoes had a hot pepper spice on it, that was not disclosed on the menu. He xould not eat them as he has acid reflux. Ended up my husband got food poisoning and sick as a dog 2 hours after his meal. I was okay , just a bit disgusted.

I was ready to enjoy the view at this place with the company of my lovely wife ,but guess what? It was NO SERVICE AT ALL . Sitting outside looking the view of the marina and reading the menu ,I asked the waiter to switch tables to get a better view . I think my mistake was talking his lenguaje ,because after that we only got two glasses of water . Nothing more nothing less . Some gentleman coming downstairs to asked us if we need something along with some name ‘Giovanni’ will be with you guys shortly . I don’t know how ‘shortly ‘ that can be ,because another couple arrived after us ,started getting drinks and the service right away. WE WAISTE 45 MINUTES OF OUR DAY TRYING TO GET FOOD!!!! If I want to switch tables in a place that is EMPTY I don’t see the issue on that . Maybe the manager should to explain to his employees the economic situation that the country is going through by not having enough costumers to afford going to a restaurant like this one that is not cheap and hardly the food equals the quality of the meal. I been there before ? Yes ! That’s why I came back ! That I will go again after this ? ABSOLUTELY NO FREAKING WAY!!! Next time I should to keep my mouth shut instead to be friendly speaking the same lenguaje that the workers . Another vibe that make me feel that me and my wife are NOT welcome because our race .
