The best part of this place was the super welcoming and friendly staff. First impression are every thing and the bartenders and their radiant and beautiful smiles and great energy really set the tone. The place is well lit, plenty of seating, super clean and modern decor with some vintage flair. There is a great menu, plenty of drink options and every thing is served quickly. You have to try the scallion dip! It's amazinggggggg. The night I went they had live music and they have a whole calendar of events all through the year so definitely check them out. read more

There was no experience. It is closed. Was hard to find and when we did, the doors were locked.

Delicious iced latte! Had a half portion of the homemade caramel flavoring, very smooth drink! Friendly service. Different vibes for sure there. read more

Came here for the coffee but loved the place and ambience. Great place to do work or study. Staff was friendly and coffee was great. Love the mix of it being a coffee spot during the day and at night a small venue for locals to perform. Cool and interesting concept i never thought of before could exist until now. read more

Ambiance was a cute small little bar and service was quick right away. Was happy to see they had a vegetarian food item so I ordered that and enjoyed my bean salad with the orange alioli sauce. Would like to see more vegetarian options here but would eat again! read more

I didn't see where it was a coffee bar in the photos I found didn't match what I saw inside. I did not purchase a ticket in advance so it would cost me $15 to get in. The so-called entertainment was subpar maybe some people like it I it is just not my venue read more

Was here for an event they hosted, great coffee and food! They also have a full bar. They said that they change up the food menu often, I'm excited to see this place evolve over the next few years. read more

We go there at least two times a month for the music and the drinks. Good place. going back.

Great coffee, food and atmosphere. Currently sitting here on a rainy Sunday morning listening to live music enjoying coffee and almond loaf cake. Oscura is a music venue at night and coffee shop in the day...in simple terms. Full bar, brunch and hot food available. Specialty drinks and seasonal ones too. This is a great local gem, definitely check it out. Wayatt Norton playing today! read more

Amazing little cafe and event space downtown! Came here for the first time in like a year and was so saddened to see they got rid of most of the food items :( I had the BEST chicken salad croissant last year when I came here. I assume the menu items were chopped due to lack of consumption but I highly recommend this place if you need to get some work done or just need a place to cool down and mingle. Best of luck to Oscura and I hope it doesn't go anywhere soon! read more

I have tried their delicious coffee, avacado toast & sandwiches. All exceeded my expectations! Lots of room inside to spread out and relax with friends or plug in electronics to do some work. Order @ coffee bar and they bring your items over to your spot with friendly/speedy service. I have only been there during day - but look forward to visiting in the pm soon. read more

The coffee here is okay, I never found it to be very good. However, the ambiance is truly the high point. They are always grabbing great entertainment and events to throw at their coffee bar and it works great to bring me back time and time again. I wouldn't come here for coffee, but this place has ascended to be an entertainment center. read more

I've been wanting to come to Oscura for so long and so glad I finally did. They host a lot of variety of events. I came for their Valentines flea market which they had a lot of different vendors outside and inside. The vibe inside is so cute and laid back. The have live music as well. I can't wait to come again and try their food because I've heard great things about it! read more

I've only been here twice but the cortado was delicious and the iced caramel latte was the best I've ever had in my life. Great coffee shop!! read more

I'd give this a 3.5/5 stars if I could. While it's nice and spacious with comfy areas to sit, the menu for food and drink is VERY small. The coffee selection is pretty basic as well despite being a coffee shop. It's nice that there's oat milk options for those lactose intolerant. read more

Been here a couple of times now. Once for lunch and once for just some coffee and a cookie. cool interesting thing and a nice addition to the down town bradenton vibe that isn't just a bar. But you can get good beer here! Lunch was good, their version of a cuban is pretty good and the DC sandwich was fresh and flavorful as well. A great place to take a moment en enjoy life. Kind of call this post hipster vibe, but in a good way. Open bright, friendly with some good tasty bits to have. Plus music and other things to attract people to this long empty block of down town. come give them a try, enjoy the vibe, enjoy the coffee, enjoy the beer. This is what downtown really needs to become the new center for fun and interesting bites. read more

Came here to grab some coffee and it was very good! Staff was nice and the pumpkin cookie was amazing!

Went there because the place we really wanted to go for brunch had a long wait time. As the reviews were stellar we walked there. The avocado toast was delicious, but the price of a very small pumpkin latte is beyond extravagant! Ouch. For that price, you get the super-size at Starbucks. Also, a bit unsure as to what is going on with the split floor and adjoining business. Overall okay, but not impressed. read more

The best espresso you will ever put in your mouth! For real, it's the GOAT. Awesome place to hang out and work or relax and excellent venue for the concerts, comedy shows, flea markets, and movie nights constantly hosted there. My favorite coffee shop!! read more

This is a hip little coffee shop. The decor is simple, clean and modern. We ordered two cold brew coffees and some avocado toast. The coffee wasn't my favorite. Not sure of the blend they use but it was a little rough. The avocado toast was phenomenal! The pickled radishes really gave this little breakfast treat a refreshing twist. I wish there was more than a few slices. Customer service was good and the price is a bit high. It took a little while for avocado toast to be made, not sure why but again, it was really tasty. About $20 for two basic iced coffees and avocado toast. Ordered a fresh brewed ice tea to go and it was very strong, almost cloudy in color: not bad, not great. Nice place but they play really loud, upbeat music so early... I think im too old for this place, lol! The avocado toast was the star of this visit. Just an okay place for my personality and taste but good luck to Oscura. Definitely a hip joint to have coffee at. read more

This place is across the street from my office. I'm new to this area so I've been doing a lot of exploring. I've walked past it and made a premature judgement that had kept me away. It is a cool place, so naturally you see tables full of hip looking people that make me assume it's going to be very exclusive and not friendly. Well, I talked myself out of my presumptions and social anxiety and decided to walk over and I am very glad I did. I was greeted by a friendly staff member who asked if it was my first time in and responded with excitement when I told him it was my first time. I told him I wanted caffeine but no sugar and was asking about teas. He suggested I consider a cold brew. I really don't understand cold brews so I inquired and as he was explaining it he got me a sample and told me this would be more caffeinated than any tea they have. I actually enjoyed it and asked if they had any non-dairy milk substitutions. They had almond and oat milk, so I ordered a cold brew with a splash of oat milk. I drank half of it and felt like I had just taken a bunch of pre-work out. He was not kidding, the caffeine was strong. I got a to go cup and was told they hoped to see me again soon. The decor in this spot is super trendy and very Instagram ready, if you're into that kind of a look. read more

This is a fabulous place. I am so glad it is in downtown Bradenton. The atmosphere is great and the food is awesome. Whether you come in for drinks, coffee, or food this is a nice spot. Spoke briefly with the owner and it was nice to hear his vision for the place and how he wants to make a positive impact on the city. read more

Great spot for lunch in the downtown area. Good choice of beers including Narragansett so you can "Crush It Like Quint" while enjoying an amazing pressed Cuban sandwich or having a bowl of the Soup of the Day which in French means Soup de Jour - Sounds good, I'll have that... The ambiance is relaxed with a feeling of being in Europe. You will enjoy every minute. read more

I have been riding past Oscura Cafe & Bar since they opened thinking "Hey, that looks like a cool coffee shop!". Well, I've since visited a few times and it truly is a cool coffee shop. So, if it's so cool why only 3-stars. Oscura only gets 3-stars because there is no consistency. If there isn't a particular employee making my drink it's not always the same. I love their turkey and Brie sandwich but their pastries aren't the best (I had a stale croissant). I'd rather come to Oscura to support a local small business owner but everyone knows that our special caffeinated drink must be on point, EVERYTIME! I hope that training continues and business continues to progress and grow to be a town favorite. read more

Music was nice and all it was a cute place inside but the food was not it and not worth the price for what they give you..it looks great but it's not good but if you just looking to have some drinks and listen to music then it's a vibe. read more

Incredible New Bar and Cafe Downtown with fresh simple delightful menu. Best Italian soda, salads, avocado toast, Cuban and so much more. I have been telling everyone how great it is and they all come back to me thanking me for telling them. They have Trivia nights; "the office", "GoT", and "parks and Rec" have been themes so far. Love it! They have a lending library wall. Several types of comfy seating, couches, chairs, tables with chairs, counters, window seating, and so much more. Never disappointed! I always feel spoiled and part of the best of Bradenton when I go here. read more

Awesome coffee shop. The place has a great, clean space with fun decor and comfortable seating. The coffee is top notch and freshly roasted. If you like espresso, go with the cortado! The barista's were knowledgeable and very friendly. My wife and I had a great time hanging here for a few hours over multiple cups of coffee and a book! read more

Oscura Live - Great couch seating to settle in and read! - Music Venues Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

So recently this place has totally changed. The fooseball table you see and the chill seating area is now a kava bar. Oscura itself is now "all natural" so no sugar free vanillas as the girl told me they are all about "no fake stuff". Now I'm saying this because you'll instantly be able to paint the picture in your head but this place has turned into a hippie gathering. Legit completely opposite of how I am. I was so excited to have a real legit coffee shop in town that was classy and chill. It's completely ruined and the coffee prices are equivalent to Starbucks with legit half the options. You'll be able to find the bar that's in there now under "Kava social club" which is so awkward I'm telling you. They had this nice ambiance going on and now there is a weird tiki hut outside?! Like what's the theme here. Anyways I'll never be back. read more

Oscura has come a long way since they first opened! Their coffee is wonderful and their many tea, soda and beverage options are not only delicious but beautiful as well! The staff is always friendly and working hard. I really admire the effort the owners are putting into making downtown Bradenton a fun place for gathering and supporting other young businesses! It's a great place to grab something quick or a sit for awhile. read more
