The best place to get coffee in Manatee county period. Amazing owners & staff who are extremely welcoming and excited to share their passion for coffee with you! Always offering fun new drinks to try and of course always always great coffee!

Been to Oscura multiple times now. They’ve done a great job with the place. Coffee was nicely done and the prices are good. I hope they can stick around for a long time to come!

Always so fantastic! I have been going to Oscura since they opened and they are consistently fantastic. Their cortado coffee is amazing, balanced, strong, and never bitter. The food is always top-notch: fresh, creative, and delicious. Everything always looks so beautiful, too! The coffee with a little design in the froth, the metal trays for plates, and their avodaco toast is a work of art (and as delicious as it is beautiful).Bur this review is also about their catering menu - WOWEE!! We needed something impressive for a reception with an out-of-town consultant and Oscuras platters blew everyone away. Again like the food they serve daily at the cafe the platters were as delicious as they were beautiful. Worth every penny! We are so grateful for their high standards and artful yet delicious food.

Awesome ambiance with good vibe. Delicous food. Best avacado toast and Cuban sandwich around. Super friendly staff.

LOVE that we found this gem! Amazing espresso

Came in from out of town and enjoyed this place. Worth checking out.

Such a great find! They serve Counter Culture coffee (my fave!) and light meals such as cubanos (my bf is craving theirs right now) and avo toasts.

The coffee shop is closed and nobody inside the business wears a mask. If you’re concerned about your health and those you love, try somewhere else. The design and layout was cute, just thought they would be taking proper precautions given we’re in a pandemic...

This is something that has been needed in the area for a while. Love the staff and the selection of coffee/food. This is my second office !

Super nice staff. I know this place is relatively new and eventually they will all be consistent but overall speaking great coffee mocha! Great friendly staff, nice clean atmosphere! This is my spot now next time in in Florida!

Quality beans!! If you know your coffee. This is the place.

Oscura is a cool space with a trendy vibe and hospitable staff members. Their tea is delicious. Great place for meeting up with friends or colleagues!

Good coffee and very flavorful breakfast

Even though they are in the middle of redesigning, it was still very cute, clean and relaxing. It is the perfect spot to work on your laptop. The workers were nice, the music was excellent, and the food and drinks were absolutely amazing. I had the avocado toast and lavender vanilla iced latte with almond milk. Will definitely go back.

Service was good, friendly workers and chill place. But the coffee couldve been better

Perfectly done. This place is a gem.

Delicious coffee & Delicious food! We are so glad to have this local business here in downtown Bradenton. We own a local handyman business Mowses Home Services and we support small and local business. We highly recommend Oscura Cafe! The lavender iced coffee is amazing!

Very chill place. I loved the cleanness of it. Sleek decor that makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. The people working there were nice and knowledgeable about coffee.Also, I like that I can that they’re doing as they make what I’ve ordered. It’s cool, like a behind the scene look!

Stopped in after visiting Jess Jewelry next door late afternoon. Laid back young adult group relaxing. Had a kratom tea. Tasty. Just an overall cool little place to chill. Tried a kratom muffin. Healthy options.

What a great atmosphere! Everyone is very pleasant and friendly.

This place is so great, 10/10 definitely check it out! The seasonal latte is unique and incredible. My favorite food is the Cuban, but I havent tried a single thing I havent liked and my partner feels the same way. If youre more of a tea person, the Mariposa is my top pick, but again, you cant really make a wrong choice here. I unfortunately havent been able to visit in person yet (we discovered this little gem during lockdown and were hooked immediately), but even through the Uber app we have received really wonderful service and they always accommodate our small requests. If the server or manager who wrote us a note for todays order sees this- you rock and we appreciate you going above and beyond for us, we would have been happy with whatever you sent our way :)

Went there for lunch on a Tuesday. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was great, and coffee was as well. Distinct and interesting atmosphere with large windows on nearly every side. Has a small lounge area with sofas and a small stage as well which wasnt in use during my stay. Open floor plan area and inviting.

Love this place! THE best avocado toast in the world and I love that they have dairy free alternatives such as oat milk. Joey helped me. He was super kind and knowledgable on all of the products. Super cute location too!

This is a quiet art school place... Thats more appreciable if you visit other art boutiquey places around bradenton... Its left really white for someone to complete the design... So if your trained on light therapy the expensiveness of the place is more the ability to focus on the white light and ambiance...its somewhat franchised and corporately priced... So from a labor rights perspective it would be nice to see a creative Co working space where its jobs were more employees with their own design to advertise.... But for all the spaces in bradenton I tried this was the first space I felt like I could get the noise out and take someone for conversation... The coffee is strong and fine... And what you would expect from world wide organic growers

I love this coffee shop! Their lattes are the best around and they have the rare find...oat milk! The staff is super friendly.The huge windows let in lots of sun and I love hanging out there.

Super chill atmosphere, delicious tea. We will be back soon!

I love the Turkey and Brie Sandwich. Highly recommend it 👌

I just love this place! Not only it it adorable, it is delicious! I got the house salad and butternut squash soup and I was not disappointed. I also ordered a coffee drink which was a little too sweet and the server made me a brand new one. Overall such a wonderful experience food and service wise. I will definitely be going back to try more items!!

Lovely place and good coffee/beverages. Decor is sleek and the service is good and friendly. Their food is also decent, especially the salads.

I hosted a Bridal Shower for my best friend at Oscura Cafe and it was one of the most easy and pleasant experiences Ive ever had coordinating an event. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. In addition to renting the space, we also used their food and beverage options for catering the shower. It was all so perfect - I highly recommend Oscura to any one... as well as their avocado toast ;)

Its LA meets Manhattan. While during construction, I believed that originally this location was going to be a business related to interior design. I was pleasantly surprised to find it is actually a coffee, craft beer, wine and cafe. From the ambiance to the owners, this is Bradentons best kept secret. The environment is mid-century modern with natural light shining through the large windows with an open forum layout. It is an ideal place for small and large gatherings of friends, family and coworkers of all ages. The sandwich Hummus Sandwich, was pure delicious delight as well as the iced tea. And I love that you can also choose an alcoholic beverage. Its Bohemian meets modern chic!! Two thumbs up to these 3 owners.

One of my favorite Coffee Shops around. Not only is there coffee and food great but their events and sense of community is what really makes it! Love trivia nights!

Came here for a show. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Cant wait to come back for actual coffee

Awesome staff! Love coming here in the mornings. My go to is their vanilla latte. Love their hummus sandwich too!

A great new spot in Bradenton! I’m so happy Oscura is here. Bright and open with huge windows and lots of places to sit. Perfect as a place to read or to hang out with friends. The cappuccino was great and so was the avocado toast. I highly recommend it.

Hip yet welcoming coffee shop in Bradenton, FL. A wonderful industrial design with warmth. Some of the best tasting cold brew coffee I’ve tasted. Friendly staff without the corporate plastered facade. I kept overhearing rave reviews by other customers about the food. Wonderful addition to downtown. Enjoy!

Friendly & knowledgeable staff. Great coffee & fresh pastries! Coffee is pricey everywhere but Id rather spend it locally, instead of places like Starbucks.

Great place to hangout with good coffee. I am particularly fond of the cappuccino lightly sweetened. Superb.

Best staff (and coffee) in town! Really great selection of coffee and tea (beer & wine too), as well as professional bar service and delicious light bites menu. Been here many times and never disappoints!

The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and professional. They clearly took the time to do a really good job preparing my food and my coffee perfectly. I highly recommend this place.

Great coffee made by great folks. Trendy coffee hangout spot in downtown Bradenton. Traditional coffee, creative/fun twists on traditional coffee, wine, beer, cider, and light bites.

Wow. Best coffee outside of Bondi. The first coffee Ive had in America that comes close to being on par with an Australian espresso.

Incredible service, atmosphere and product. My favorite daily spot. They also do amazing events like their Friendly Flea!

Modern coffeehouse with very kind/helpful staff. They have unique drinks, like their Italian sodas! 100% recommend visiting here.

Great place! Good food and awesome people. Very good team running the place! Would love to see others appreciate this place, they deserve it! Try the Grapefruit Italian Soda you wont regret it!

Great place! Staff are always friendly and the food and drinks are great! Perfect place for lunch, small meeting, or studying.

Wow!! Food is soooo goood! Great vibes!!!This must be the place.

This new coffee shop is just as beautiful in person as it looks online. The staff is super friendly and the iced vanilla latte hit the spot! I will definitely be coming back for more.

Absolutely the best coffee in Bradenton/Sarasota. The service is amazing, atmosphere is relaxed and avocado toast is incredible.

Love the vibe and the coffee is yummm

Im not a coffee drinker... In fact, the only reason I ordered is because black coffee and water are the only 2 options I can consume w/out breaking my fast. Ben somehow found a way to turn drudgery into fun and enjoyable by making me a black espresso fizz drink that Ill never forget! With an owner that serves you his heart and soul in every cup, and a musical playlist that sets a chill-vibe that makes you never want to leave; Oscura is officially the place to be for great service, atmosphere and creative coffee options! Ive now made Oscura Cafe my go-to for anytime I need a pick-me up. Thanks Ben!!

Thank you for having the reservoir dawgs. This place is an awesome venue for local bands. It has an amazing atmosphere with standout drinks that taste wonderful, certainly not an average cafe.

A staple in our community. Clean environment and bathrooms. Chill place to hang with friends, do some computer work, or stare out their massive windows and watch traffic. They’re always playing the freshest upbeat music, hosting fun events, making a variety of drinks from cortados to Grapefruit Adlers, and serving a few creative, seasonal bites that you won’t at another cafe. Go here.

Favorite coffee shop in Bradenton. We love the coffee and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff is so friendly and they throw fun parties and trivia nights. Get the iced mocha, it is my favorite drink there. Get to know the workers, they all have such great stories.

Husband and I went here this morning. Google said it was open and it was not.

Great friendly service in a bright hip cafe. Perfect for lunch or an afternoon espresso . Will have to come back and check out the music at night. A few craft beer on tap Interesting craft/artisanal twists on old favorites

Great music.... a little wild dancing, and tasty non alcoholic drinks on Saturday night. There should be more places like this!

The staff is nice and knowledgeable. The food is very good. All in all the vibe of the place is really great.

Disappointed. I asked for a sandwich (cost around 10+ bucks) and it was way too smaller than I thought. It was smaller than my hands palm.

This place is super cool! You have to try their Cold Brew Iced Coffee ~ it is so good! I crave it ALL THE TIME. The vibe there is very hipster and new age for Bradeton. It’s right in downtown Bradenton; it’s a chill place to meet a friend for a coffee date, do some work on your laptop or just a quiet place to get some piece on your lunch break. Check it out!

Wonderful service, adorable atmosphere, clean, and the best iced chai! They’ve got really great books for people to read while they have their drinks!

Friendly service and good coffee, but a little overpriced

This place has really good coffe . I dont normal get a hot cappuccino and drink it the way it comes. Im the type to get a Carmel iced coffee but I wanted to try there coffee the way they do it. And wow. It so good just the way they make it the turkey and brie was delicious idk what jam they put on there put it all went together so well with the apples. Please forgive the contrution when you go. Its worth going and trying.

So happy I found this great coffee joint... in Bradenton! My almond latte was incredible!

This place is amazing. Great atmosphere, fantastic food and real good people. Ill be back every time Im in town.

Great espresso, they use counter culture and a shutout to Brother Tiger on the wall? Nine stars out of five.

Love their coffee! This place is so neat and very hip for Bradenton. They serve wine and beer too! And Kamboochucha! I recommend their Cold Brew with cream and sugar!

A neat, modern coffee shop....I enjoyed an espresso. .. American style. .a little lighter

Great atmosphere! Simple yet comfortable. Bradenton has needed a spot like this for a while long time. Great coffee too!

Lovely place to study. The atmosphere is friendly and laid back. Everything was perfect. I’ll be back

Great spot in the heart of downtown Bradenton. Great quality cold brew and espresso based drinks. Check the out!

Low key specialty cafe and coffee bar. Limited lunch menu. My sandwich was good. Homemade soda - no Coke nor Pepsi. Excellent WiFi from Bradenton Station across the street.

This was our first visitand definitely not the last! The food looks amazing! We only had lattes and a cordato today and they were fantastic. This is a really cool place! The staff was wonderful!

Very nice little place. Staff was friendly

Nice coffee shop. Great staff and love love love the cado toast and their salads. Will have to drop by after work for the wine selection

Oscura is a great addition to downtown Bradenton. The atmosphere is very clean and freshly styled. The coffee and tea are very good. (The blackberry jasmine tea is delisious!) Overall quality is comparable to Starbucks (maybe even better quality, honestly) but at a better price point. The food I have tried was fresh and had nice flavor. The staff members I spoke to were helpful and inviting.I would highly recommend checking this place out.

Great food great coffee. I will be back soon.

Wonderful atmosphere, superb service, and delicious drinks and food. They have worked hard to create an environment that feels modern, young, and new. Something that Bradenton has needed for a long time.

Fall Salad is bomb. Quality mocha. Chill vibe. Floors are ugly as sin. 🤗

Good food and drinks.

My 9 year old gives the grilled ham and cheese and a butterbeer 5 stars!

Very chill atmosphere thats half hip bar half coffee shop. They have some comfy seating too in the back (a couch and some soft chairs).

What can I say, this place is great! Also, one of the owners is smokin hot... and one of them is named Keith. Bravo!

Perfect for what it is- good espresso, good but limited menu, morphs into a bar at night. Best coffee in the area.

Great Atmosphere, Great food, Great staff!

Great coffee! It’s good to see Bradenton finally getting into the craft coffee scene!

We had avocado toast and a Cuban for lunch...Food was outstanding...service was great!

Best iced mocha Ive ever had! Yum!

Quaint shop. Good coffee

One of the best lattes I’ve had. Very nice place.

Great cava & great. Staff!!!

Very welcoming place for a coffee and conversation! Great for work lunch or time with friends!

See Gino for IMPECCABLE Service;Great vibe!

Great atmosphere and they have the best staff!! 😁

Great place,people,food(Alltho limited)nice atmosphere

A great place to sit and visit with friends

Very mess, looks like they are going through a remodel. Also there is not a lot of room to sit.

The atmosphere here is so chill and relaxing, and the avocado toast is amazing

Good place to meet with People and relax.
