    Selva is such a great date spot. I wanted a quick coffee honestly, but nope, I was met by a bunch of plants, cute souvenirs, and 3 kitties. Well, it is a cafe nestled inside a nursery after all. They were doing a fall sale for all plants in pots and it was such a steal! I got a small plant for $17 and it seems well-grown. There was also a DJ when I went on Saturday. It was mildly crowded, and line wasn't too bad. I got the Minor Detail latte, and it was surprisingly good! It was brown sugar syrup with a touch of sage, which I thought was a nice touch. I also got the salted choco chip cookie, which was vegan, and AMAZING. Best cookie I've had so far. I'd definitely recommend Selva if you're in the area, however, don't expect to just come and go if you're in a rush. Orders took a while since they seemed short staffed.

    Same heart, different location. Great environment, welcoming place, beautiful breathable spot for a coffee shop. Love that it's open late. The coffee hits just the same as their original location. Glad that they brought this up to this area, highly recommend! Not outlet friendly so more of a study shortstop.

    Selva is nestled inside a nursery, and it's such a refreshing place to relax among the plants, orchids, succulents, and beautiful flowers. They have a great selection of drinks, coffee, lattes, matcha, and more, as well as a few pastries. The seating is scattered throughout the nursery, with many tables tucked behind lush plants and hanging greenery, giving each area a bit of privacy instead of feeling crowded. We really enjoyed the calm, relaxing atmosphere.

    3.5 Located in a nursery - perfect matching. Compared to the other location, this on had a more energetic vibe. I was there on a Sunday afternoon. There a DJ and the music was entertaining but loud - too loud to have a conversation in the coffee shop. And the red light disco bathroom was.... interesting. My heavenly hibiscus was less flavorful than the other location. On its own - 4 stars. Compared to the other - 3 stars.

    Great place to hang with friends or work on your laptop. Line was super long around noon on Sunday but went away by 3pm. Burritos are small but nice since they are mostly potatoes, meat, and salsa. I would come back.

    Amazing seating area. Very friendly staff and honestly delicious drinks!!!!! I would come back over and over again

    Selva is a hip and modern plant nursery, and coffee shop in one. The space is open, airy, and bright. I went on a Saturday and there was an in person DJ playing music. It had a fun and youthful vibe. I ordered the "Trust Fund Kid," with matcha and oat milk. The drink was yummy, not too sweat. The cold drinks come with small crushed ice. Very limited food options, mainly pastries, burritos, bagels, and fruit bowls. I saw some croissant sandwiches in the fridge near the self serve drink section. Not sure if those were menu items or if they make the menu items fresh from behind the counter. This would be a nice place for a first date, or friend meetup. They sold little trinkets around the shop, such as silly planters, candles, matches, enamel pins, stickers, tote bags, etc.

    I'm really glad they opened a location up in North County. Parking is much easier here in my opinion than the location down south and I think there's a fair amount of seating. Drinks here are still packed full of fun flavors. I still think about their seasonal drink with guava (currently not on the menu right now) but I have not had any bad drinks at all. There's also a little active DJ set sometimes when my friends and I go which keeps it lively.

    Awesome new coffee shop inside the Terra Bella nursery! Easy to park, across from the shopping center. Great pastries and coffees served in beautiful botanical design. I love everything! So spacious, so many tables separated by plants and more plants. Looking forward coming here often!

    Amazing! Can not say enough good things. Coffee and food is delicious, the plants are lovely and there is a sitting area to get work done

The cappuccino had beautiful coffee art with a swan. My matcha tasted good. And more than anything it was colorful. The views from the patio were beautiful and we had a great time!

The store itself is modern, sleek with lots of seating available. So, sit down and stay for a while or take one to go. They are passionate about what they do. So, get ready for a tasty treat. I got an iced decaf latte decaf and a drip coffee. My favorite was the iced decaf latte. From the first sip to the last drip. I savored every last sip of that delicious drink. It's creamy, dreamy, and delicious. With a bold perfect coffee flavor. Pure perfection! Also, I love taking home a cup of coffee for the next day. And, a pound of coffee to share. Trust me when I say that this coffee is incredible! You'll want that extra coffee. So, next time you see a Bird Rock. Stop by for a tasty treat! You won't regret it.

This would have been an average San Diego coffee shop experience for me, except for the fact that I absolutely LOVED the cherry bomb! It's a cherry mocha and essentially a perfect drink for me. Back in 2019, Starbucks had a seasonal cherry mocha for Valentine's Day that I was obsessed with. Apparently I was the only one, because they haven't brought it back since. Cherry mochas are hard to come by, and I haven't really encountered another one. This one was delicious! The espresso was bold, the milk perfectly creamy, and the overall taste not too sweet (unlike Starbucks'). Wow!! I can already tell this will be a drink I daydream about. Unfortunately it was $7.50, which will prevent me from indulging very regularly. The rest of the menu is pricey too, with avocado toasts nearly reaching $20. (I may be a millennial, but I can certainly understand the negative stereotype when I see coffee shop prices like these.) Besides pricing, the other downside of this place is the limited seating. There were only 4 small outdoor tables, so unless you're with just one other person and you arrive before 10am, I'd suggest grabbing your coffee to go and taking a walk. My friend and I sat down, since there were open tables when we arrived. She enjoyed her iced honey cinnamon latte. If you love a cherry mocha or are looking for coffee in the design district, definitely come through!

The Lattes I go for are The Gardener (lavender, honey, vanilla) and The Farmer(vanilla and brown sugar). Made with organic espresso and love. We've even enjoyed visiting the bunnies for 22$ per person (plus tip if you'd like too) gives you about 20-30 minutes of interaction with the bunnies. You sign a waiver with the host and they'll give you instructions on the rules. You might even get to feed them too. I loved it so much!

Apparently this was a deeply offensive request, because I was immediately informed, "So really you just want a short latte," followed by a staff discussion about how people don't know how to order coffee. Then, while I was simply standing there waiting for the drink I had paid for, they started making comments about me waiting. Truly fascinating. I didn't realize there was also a correct and incorrect way to stand near a coffee counter. Eventually they wrote "cap" on my cup and called it out, so I grabbed it and said, "Thanks for my short latte." For a place serving coffee, they somehow managed to make ordering one feel like an oral exam I had failed. If you enjoy being lightly bullied by your barista over espresso terminology, this may be your spot. I personally will be getting my incorrectly named beverages elsewhere.

We each got to order a pot of tea, so we decided to order 5 different ones to try out more flavors together.

The only flavor that none of us enjoyed was the strawberry rose champagne oolong tea, so when it came time for refills, we switched it to the rouge provence. For the food, there were four finger sandwiches: chicken breast, smoked salmon, cucumbers, and chopped spinach.
