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!

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..

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.

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!

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.

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!

It's hard to find a coffee spot that's open on Sunday but I was lucky enough to discover this one. What a cool vibe when you walk in. There is a ton of indoor seating both tables and bar. The staff are all friendly and eager to provide service to you.
We ordered a Cortado and caramel latte. Both were great choices. My husband also ordered a breakfast sandwhich that he enjoyed as well. The have limited food items with specials.
We also learned that they offer events through out the week....open mic, trivia etc. We will definately return!
