Cafe Oscura reviews
19I have not tried the food, but when I attended a concert there it was awesome! Nice friendly staff!
One of my favorite places to spend my day.or night! Oscura is a perfect place to start your day with a warm beverage (and for my fellow non-caffeine drinkers try the Carrot Cake tea). Daytime environment is perfect for hosting a meeting, reading a book, or just trying some of Chef Keith's fantastic menu items! And nighttime Oscura becomes an entirely new place! Grab one of the in-house blended slush drinks or your favorite beers on draft and get ready to enjoy a show! A neighborhood bar with a fresh, fun feel and a staff that makes you feel like a star every time!
My first time to Oscura was awesome! Invited by one of the playwrights for a special event…”A Nightmarrish Barroom Brouhaha”…and was very happy!
Drinks were delicious. Special menu in play with Hummus plate (fantastic!), Martini chips (awesome), Cuban sandwich, and Roast Beef Sandwich were all good portions and yummy. Prices were fair (see pic).
Atmosphere is really cool. Spooky decorations were hung for the event but love the standard decor too. Classic photos and historical items like a Les Paul collage of the original studio and history about it. Also gig photos and record wall were really neat. Some high top tables and couches were available for alternative seating options. Bar area is comfy with under bar hooks for your bag and ample USB plug stations at the bar (Thank You!)
This was my first visit to see a couple of bands that I really enjoy. The venue is pretty awesome, a sandwich type place during the day and an intimate music venue at night. The music posters showed a wide array of different music genres for any particular tastes you may have. I'll definitely find their social media page and watch out for other events that interest me.
Quality, friendly. Went to see a show (NOMVDIC). AC was good. Bathrooms overcrowded. Overflow parking across the street.
I have mixed feelings. This place is such a great vibe with live music, friendly staff and amazing coffee! Visited for the first time, didn’t know what to order and the barista said he loves the honey, cinnamon iced late with oat milk so I decided to try it and it did not disappoint! I also ordered the avocado toast ($9) as well as the chicken salad sando ($11). The total was $30. The food was nothing too crazy flavor wise, tastes like your basic avocado toast and chicken salad sandwich but the presentation of the avocado toast was pretty. The size of the avocado toast and presentation of the chicken salad sando was a bit disappointing after seeing the pictures of each item on their instagram. The chicken salad sando looked different and had completely different ingredients so not sure if they have different chicken salad sando options. Also, I wish the barista would have mentioned the oat milk would be extra because I’m a little upset about how much a latte came up to be almost $8 but it does say it’s $. 80 extra on the menu so can’t be too upset. Otherwise, the atmosphere is great, relaxing and loved the live music.
Great newer spot in Bradenton. Awesome for an early quiet morning. Their hummus sandwich is my favorite thing on the menu, along with the biscuits and jam. The seasonal sesame latte is also to die for.
The night scene is also super sick, especially with all the local punk music. They offer non alcoholic craft beers and cocktails as well as a full bar!
We went for game night and had some hot tea and a hummus platter. Played BradentonOpoly with the little one and enjoyed the family friendly atmosphere.
I love it here! All staff is very friendly & welcoming! I was looking for a coffee shop but they are so much more than that! They have drinks, food, live music & even hold events like flea markets & such! I had their Cold Brew with Almond Milk & Caramel & it was 10/10! Can’t go attend their events!
Met there for a networking event, so I can't post about anything except the great bar service.
First time there, so wasn't sure what to expect. It was a very nice place. It was open mic night. So I have been practicing comedy and have wanted to do it on stage so there I was. I thought it went well. The age difference was noticeable with some jokes. But the people I talked to said it was good. I was nervous but got through without screwing up. I'll say this though they had musician that were fantastic. I would have left sooner but the music was way to good. Will I go back? Hell yes. I can't judge food I didn't eat anything but what I did see looked really good.
Had both breakfast and lunch here this morning. There's a lot of care and thought going into every item on the menu, and the quality is always very, very good.
I had a egg, ham and cheese "sando" (brioche bun) for breakfast, and split a chicken salad sandwich and wedge salad with a friend fir lunch. All delicious, as were the passion fruit kombucha and coffee I had to drink!
Great location with plenty of parking. Clean and inviting environment. Looking forward to expanded menu and more selections for lunch. Truly need expanded menu
Came here from Tampa for to see MouthBreather perform and was well worth the trip! The venue was awesome, bartender was awesome, and the audio was awesome. Plan to come back for another one!
A true hidden gem! I've passed this place several times and have always been intrigued, and I finally had the opportunity to stop in. The natural lighting the building has is beautiful and offers a great place to sit back, enjoy coffee, and read. There is also a stage for bands to perform. I am hoping to come back and enjoy one of the performances soon.
Hands down new favorite place in downtown Bradenton! AMAZING thoughtfully crafted food! Every dish has intention behind it, and the service is incredible. Great selection of spirits, unparalleled coffee, best ambiance in town. Live bands playing, events, community, this is what Bradenton needed! ️️️️️
Please only tell nice people about this place. This new establishment with excellent decor and hippie style charm must be kept as is. You can have a latte, wine and such. Tonight is mic night. Beautiful music by local talented artists. We had a super fun time!
This place is amazing. Nice venue for small concert. I saw Divine AF play here on June 3rd 2023. They were amazing.
This hidden gem was a surprise as I’m a native Bradenton local. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing vibe. Justin and a lady were our bartenders and did phenomenal. They carried my favorite beer Tecate! That really won the rating. We didn’t eat, but the food looked enjoyable. I defiantly recommend, and look forward to returning
