    Latte
    Jose R.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Cappuccino and the egg sando!

    Came here to do some work and enjoy some brekkie! The staff have such a kind and creative energy. Coffee and food is excellent. Would be a regular spot if I was local!

    An amazing coffee bar, done by amazing people! Love Oscura and all they do. Coffee and food are great, but I really love is the community aspect! From music to trivia nights, always something fun to do!

    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!

    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.

    My husband had the Cuban sandwich and I had the avocado toast, and both were delicious.

We asked if there was bread, and they have a complementary bread and pesto that was excellent. We each chose something different so we could try four different meals. The fish tacos were great! Great flavor and huge piece of fresh fish. The green beans are an excellent side choice. The grilled salmon was also excellent. The key lime aioli was sweet, but delicious. The crab cake was not deep fried and crispy, but full of large pieces of crab. The homemade potato chips and fries were great. I did prefer the fries. They also have gluten free buns for the burgers. Service was also excellent.

Salmon + green beans did what they needed to do. They gave me coleslaw too, did I ask for it? no. did I eat it? also no, but that's a personal preference thing. We also got the Mediterranean sampler and that was actually really good. I even tried my mom's martini of the month and I don't even like martinis like that but I would 100% drink that one again. The vibe is kinda in between, you can dress up or show up casual and not feel weird. It's a little loud but in a fun way like good for a date night or girls night. Service was decent, the girl at the bar was nice and clearly doing everything at once, so no complaints there. Drinks aren't insanely strong, but they can be cute depending on what you order. My wine looked like...wine, but my mom's martini had a cute rim. It ended up being around $57 not including tip which honestly felt cheap for everything we got. Only downside is street parking, so be ready to walk a bit if you didn't park right beside it. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area.

The drink list has gotten noticeably smaller over time and is pretty underwhelming. Beer options are limited, and they're often out of multiple selections, which gets frustrating. Even when available, the beers and cocktails are just okay--nothing that really stands out or makes you want to come back specifically for the drinks. Not having a full kitchen is another downside. The food truck works if you need something quick, but it feels overpriced for the quality and doesn't elevate the overall experience. The staff has always been friendly and upbeat, which we appreciate. There is also a manager/owner presence that can come across a bit cocky at times, but that's not the main issue here. The bigger frustration is that this place has so much potential--it has the space, the vibe, and the crowd. It could easily be a standout spot if there were more attention put into expanding the drink selection, improving quality, and creating a more well-rounded food experience. Right now, it just feels like it's not being prioritized.

If it's too hot, or the sun is beating down upon you, ask for seats in the shaded areas/umbrellas. There's a small beach there , many kids running around, their goofing around while waiting for their meal. There is a bar area. Not huge, but since they open @ 11am.. I'd imagine that area is probably full for most of the rest of the day . So, if you're going to sit there, get there by 11:30am. We had a group of five, so we started off sharing the spicy queso dip and the shrimp and crab dip. Both are excellent, the shrimp and crab dip were to die for! A blackened chicken sandwich was tasty and quite well received. The mahi-mahi fish sandwich was blackened, still tasty but slightly underwhelmed. Should've done the grouper. Others in the group were quite satisfied with their meals. Service was good but the place is spread out and quite busy most of the time we were there, which was mid afternoon on a Saturday. This place is fantastic, and if I had to choose between Woody's River Roo & and Whiskey Joe's- I'd take Whiskey Joe's every time. They also have a better selection of craft beers. This is not meant to assassinate Woody's River Roo . The food and drinks are good there. Their prices are reasonable, Their atmosphere is good there. But pound for pound Whiskey Joe's is better. If you want to nitpick , Joe's is priced higher and their parking area is much smaller. Hence, many people choose to do the valet parking. I guess those could be construed as negatives. Again JOE's just puts out a slightly better experience.

If I were having a wedding or an event here, I would be mortified for my guests. If I had gone there first, I would never ever have eaten there Do better Whiskey Joe - this is a prime location and could be so much better with better management!
