Great little place for events and hide away. Was impressed with the organic menu and quality ingredients on the food menu.The staff seemed very knowledgeable. I even learned of a new vodka that is organic and filtered 7 times!It's definitely a place to check it if you need to host a business event.

My brother and I wanted to start trying new restaurants to recommend to our usual group of foodies. This small cafe was first on our list, and we were not disappointed. We arrived around 12 and had the opportunity to try their lunch menu, I ordered a Cuban sandwich and lavender specialty lemonade while my brother tried the chicken salad sandwich and a strawberry Mango craft iced tea. The food and drinks were stellar, complimented by the calm and quiet atmosphere and quality service, with a wonderful attitude by both servers present who were more than happy to discuss the drinks they had available on the menu. Prices were fair for the quantity as both our plates were served with potato chips, and to end our dining experience, we ordered some drinks to go, a Chai latte, and a regular latte and the server was kind enough to customize ours a bit and make our drinks more on the sweeter side and both were so fantastic we nearly forgot our earlier dining experience. I definitely recommend this place for a nice and quiet lunch. Now to some caveats...Breakfast ends at 11, and without serving it alongside lunch, the menu appears rather limited in terms of food and may not offer something for everyone. I intend to return during breakfast and perhaps dinner if it is available. Dinner may be noiser as the location offers music and trivia events, but that may be to some people's liking.Overall, this was a wonderful surprise and a wonderful start to our restaurant exploration adventure. Stay tuned!

Over time, Oscura has become a second home for many people in Manatee County! The staff are incredibly kind, the food and drinks are spectacular and the different events that get put on are always a hit. Personally, I've made many friends just by coming to Oscura and interacting at events and I'm always so proud to show off this establishment to other people. I could go on and on about how much I love this place, but I think you should just go for yourself to see! For first timers, I recommend going to the Friendly City Flea which takes place once a month on Sundays at Oscura. Great time to try out the venue while seeing and shopping from amazing local artists. 10/10. Will continue to recommend again and again.

In the morning they’re a coffee shop. I’ve ordered lattes and matcha there. My friend had some kind of raspberry cake once. Their coffee is always SO good! At night, they are a bar, usually with bands/ live music (not every night) and sandwiches to order (they also have quinoa salad). Still waiting on them to have gluten free bread! The ambiance is great. Very open and cozy. Usually a handful of ppl there but it never feels overcrowded. This is a go to place for me and my friends. We just love it there!Vegetarian options: Only one dish- quinoa salad. Labeled vegan, actually.Parking: Parking lot is right there. If it’s full, plenty of parking across the streetWheelchair accessibility: No steps to get in. Some tables on the floor.

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!
