I love this place! Liz is such a wonderful friendly employee that helped me decide on a delicious matcha, I got the Funny Business because I go bananas for anything banana and it hit the spot. Liz even decorated it specially for me which made my day. Great place to enjoy a sweet treat and escape for a bit. read more

I went to Selva and I had a great experience. The coffee and matcha was so good. I got a Queenie and my wife got a monkey see and it was the best Matcha I have ever had. My wife also really enjoyed her coffee. Padraic helped me out and was super friendly. My wife is pregnant and he helped her get the burritos and brought the coffee to the table. Overall 10/10 experience. Will be coming back read more

Experience was 10/10. It was an amazing environment to be in. The service was also incredible. Padraic was very helpful and was constantly checking on my family and I to see if we needed anything. My matcha was really good and I will definitely be going back. read more

Okay what? Selva, you've gotten a MAJOR upgrade and have become the Secret Garden of my dreams. I almost hesitate to bid y'all to give it another chance 'cuz I don't wanna be without a seat when I come next. But hey, we can share a table I used to come to Selva months ago to wait out traffic before dance class nearby, but seating was always hard to find: 7-8 tables cramped around one large tree in the center of the coffee area which, as many of you may remember, inhabited just 1/4th of the huge warehouse room it is situated in. As of May 2026 (and before, but this is my date of visit), the seating now stretches all the way to the back of the warehouse room. Circle tables with 1, 3, 5 green chairs nestled between large potted plants so you and your besties (or just your laptop) can vibe together amidst all the shared oxygen. AMBIENCE: 4.5/5 Bury me in a sea of green and I'm a happy girl. San Diego is a relatively newer city so it's hard to find brick anything... but here, in this tall expanse of a painted brick building, light flows in through the row of windows near the ceiling; planet-looking plants twirl, hung overhead. That's not even mentioning the whole plant warehouse this shop is attached to -- 2 more large rooms PLUS a whole outside filling to the brim with gorgeous greenery. If your brain gets tired working, it's so nice to peruse the plant aisles beneath the huge twirling disco ball in the plant room attached. I deducted .5 points because it's not in the nicest part of town; you may run into folks on the street here. If you're a lone woman, keep your wits about you as you're walking at night... but I've never had a problem. DRINKS / FOOD: 4.5/5 I don't remember seeing if there is prepared food here, but I do see snacks (chips, baked goods) and refrigerated drinks GALORE, plus a whole middle section of cute gifts no one has a need for, but every last desire for. Today I got the "Monkey See", a banana/cinnamon-infused latte, half sweet, WITHOUT the banana-infused cream cloud on top, as ya girl must skip out on the dairy. I was delightfully surprised at how strong the coffee is -- I remember it being quite weak before. I wouldn't say this place is for the coffee-serious (which is why I give it 4 stars out of 5), but they have so many inventive drinks for the sweet drinker. The .5 points added is for the variety of snacks and drinks they have here -- I am gluten free, so it's nice to have access to chips and not just gluten-full baked goods I can't eat, which most shops are known for. PARKING: 4/5 I mean... it could be worse. You're in an industrial part of town right next to the freeway, they couldn't exactly plan for a parking lot of their own here when building. [There IS a parking lot, but it's for people shopping for plants.] Parking is along the front of the warehouse and in the street perpendicular to it. If it's REALLY crazy, you can keep going down the street the warehouse is on and find parking down there. I've never had an issue with parking, but I come on Friday afternoons when the PLNU students etc. are likely not here. All in all, I'm rounding up to a sweet 5/5 because it's rare to find a place like this anywhere (just don't come expecting the best third wave coffee). Come enjoy a rare oasis of greenery and sweet drinks right near the water. And if you're feeling really inspired, head on down to Sunset Cliffs a few miles down to close out the night with an unforgettable view read more

My FAVORITE BANANA MATCHA IN SD! The "funny business" matcha is hands down the best and my favorite banana matcha ever! It's also very reasonably priced at $7! Banana + honey + espresso/matcha + milk + banana cloud cream + cinnamon, this is a banana bread dreammm, it hits every time I get it. My friend got it as the espresso and said it was delicious as a coffee option too! I've also tried their "trust fund kid" matcha which is an earl grey + espresso/matcha + milk. This one was good but didn't hit as much as the funny business does for me, I feel like I've had stronger earl grey flavor matchas before. My friend got the "slow clap" matcha and said it was delicious too! Guava + matcha/chai + milk + guava cloud cream. I'd be very curious to try this as a chai since I've never seen a guava chai before! My parents got the "loose cannon" espresso and liked it but it seemed pretty basic/standard to me! Irish cream + espresso/matcha + milk + vanilla cloud cream. Seems ideal if you're looking for a good creamy latte w some cute green accents on top! They also got an americano and enjoyed it! $4 isn't bad for espresso + water and they said the coffee blend was good! Seems like the trend amongst what me and my friends have gotten is anything with a flavor and cloud cream is a delicious option. PASTRIES: I've also tried their strawberry orange loaf and it was perfectly moist with natural strawberry orange flavors, I would definitley be interested in trying more of their pastries! Ambiance is fantastic it's inside a giant plant store warehouse so feels like you're in a houseplant jungle while you sip on your morning coffee/matcha. Also gives you something to do since you can explore and window shop while you wait for your drink. They have lots of other cute cards and little Knick knacks lining the area to line up to place your order too so there's always something to capture your attention! Also a good amount of seating and you get to sit amongst all of the lovely plants and feel the fresh air! Service has been pretty fast every time I've come especially given how busy they've been on the weekend when I've come. (Albeit be prepared to wait 15-20+ min on a busy holiday weekend). When they're busy they'll have someone at the counter taking orders alongside someone on a tablet to speed things up. You get a text notification when your drink is done so no need to wait around the counter. There's also a little TV where names and estimated wait times are updated which is super convenient! Parking here is plentiful! There's a parking lot as well as tons of street parking, I've always been able to find parking within a block or two even on mother's day! Overall, I LOVE selva, the funny business matcha alone is enough to keep me coming back! Dare I say this may be my favorite / one of my favorite matcha place in SD! Their drinks are also super cute alongside being super tasty and their interior is so good! read more

Perfect place to bring someone who isn't from San Diego! The space: very aesthetically pleasing, big spaces, big coffee shop, lots of plants, indoor/outdoor spaces The drink: ordered on the online QR code since it said it would be a shorter wait. I ordered the guava matcha with guava cold foam! Probably one of my favorite matchas I have had in SD. The guava is a great complimenting taste. 8.7/10 The service: i waited 45 minutes for a matcha that said it would be done in 9-14 minutes. Personally, that deterred me from ever coming back. 45 minutes for a drink is absolutely crazy. Or at least update your online ordering to an accurate time. Will only return if it's on a weekday or I really really only want the guava matcha. read more

I had a trip coffee and a bacon and egg burrito. It was a busy morning, so we had to wait about ten minutes, but the coffee was delicious, and the burrito is a great price for how much food you get. Of course. Many come for the plant environment and ambiance, and that did not disappoint. The service is great and friendly. There is plenty of seating inside to enjoy. And also to walk around. read more

Everything about Selva gives! I am truly obsessed with everything about this place. Staying nearby, I was on the hunt for matcha. My companion pointed out Selva, and I knew we had to go. From just stepping in, I was blown away. Located in the Terra Bella Nursery, this place was gorgeous and took over one part of the nursery. It was so lush and green with plants everywhere. There were a good number of tables spaced out, and with the plants everywhere, it provided a bit of privacy. It was quite clean, good music, and a chill atmosphere. Most customers were my age, either hanging out or studying. I'd recommend this place for that! The workers were all super friendly and kind, and drinks came out quickly! I came here on two occasions, the first being in the morning, when I got a Funny Business with Oat Milk. I was in love, it tasted like a banana, great, but with an aftertaste of matcha. It was sweet, creamy, and tasty. In the second round, I came in the evening and got the Slow Clap with Oat Milk. There was a present guava taste, and it was a nice balance of fruity and earthy. I got both drinks with matcha, and the presentation was so pretty! I also loved how they don't charge additionally for non-dairy milk. Selva Coffee House was the only cafe I visited during my short trip to San Diego, but I never yearned for more because it's perfect. I loved the vibes and the drinks and the fact it was so dog I'd definitely come back again. There's free parking in the Terra Bella Nursery lot, plus on the street. read more

This coffee shop was beautiful and definitely something different from the regular coffee spots.......being surrounded by plants was such a vibe. But my honest review? More hype than flavor when it came to both the coffee and food... it just didn't give. I tried the banana coffee and honestly it wasn't my favorite. I also ordered a chorizo con papa burrito, which for Mexicans is such a simple comfort food, but somehow it missed the mark too. It barely had potato, and the few pieces inside were hard. The service/process was confusing as well. Nobody explained that drinks and food were picked up in different places, so I was left wondering where my food was after getting my coffee. Then the food took another 25 minutes. Between searching for parking, nowhere to sit, long wait times, and the food/coffee not being great, it just wasn't worth the hype to me. There are honestly so many better spots out there. Sadly, I won't be returning. read more

This coffee spot is located inside a plant nursery. Parking is rough on the weekends/holidays. They have a small amount of street parking. Order at the register and they will call your name out for you to pick up your food/drink on the side when it is ready. They have a tv on the wall with plants that has everyone's name and length of time until your drink is ready. Tried: got the drinks half sweet because the cloud foam is very sweet by itself. I love that they do not charge extra for alternative milks. Queenie - strawberry matcha was good Deja Vu - coconut matcha was good Hot chocolate - got a hot chocolate for the kiddo with some lucky charms. read more

I swear every time I make a trip to SD they're always coming up with cute coffee shops concepts. I see why this place has people in a chokehold. Coffee shop + plants + live dj?! I ordered one of their signature lavender drinks and they asked for a cell phone number to text when the is ready--they were estimating a 30 min wait. I walked around the nursery and after 30 min and no text I go back to the counter to see my drink had been sitting there and looked watered down like it had been a while. read more

Selva Coffee, tucked inside Terra Bella Nursery, is such a cute and unique spot. The space is filled with plants, high ceilings, and so much greenery, it feels really zen and peaceful. After grabbing a drink, I love walking through the nursery for inspiration. It's honestly such a dreamy environment. The coffee is a bit on the sweeter side for me, but getting it half sweet works well for me and the matcha is really well done. I mostly come here for the vibes, and it never disappoints. They have some seating inside and a ton of space to stand/walk around. Overall, a beautiful, calming place that's perfect if you want to slow down and enjoy a cozy, plant-filled atmosphere. read more

Prob more like 4.5 stars rounded up! OVERALL: Love the concept of the coffee shop in a plant nursery and I loved all their signature drink options. There's so many to choose from, you can keep coming back to try something else. Plus the nursery is so large with so much to see. WHAT WE GOT: Okie dokie (half water, half milk, extra ice) - definitely more chocolate than coffee flavor; go for it if you like sweeter drinks. Marshmallow cloud foam was really good. Graham crackers more for garnish, couldn't really taste it. Egg and chorizo breakfast burrito - okay flavor but not bad for a quick grab and go morning meal. It really is just egg and chorizo in a burrito (no other fillings like potato or cheese) but that makes sense for its price! OTHER NOTES: - They offer decaf options - They have a small parking lot - They're tucked away in an industrial area - Dine in at one of their many tables or walk around and explore their expansive nursery! - based on their IG, they also host night events with alcohol! read more

Selva, housed within Terra Bella Nursery's Midway District location, is a cool--now very popular--coffee hangout. I came on a Sunday morning around 10:30am and it was completely packed with families, friend groups, and wanderers of all ages. The atmosphere and vibe are really nice. It's inside a plant nursery, so there are hanging and standing plants literally everywhere, giving you the feeling that you're in a greenhouse. There's a lot of tables, a water station with iced lemon water, and multiple cashiers and baristas to help speed up the ordering and drink-completion processes. The matcha latte I ordered was pretty good, what I'd describe as slightly above average but nothing necessarily mind-bogging or life-altering. It was good matcha, with good milk/sweetness/graininess balance, but it was similar to what you'd find in most small coffee shops. read more

My taste and standard for matcha has changed so the matcha really doesn't live up to the hype. It is watery yet has a bitter aftertaste and you can barely taste the matcha. Their drinks are really sweet so we ordered half sweet. -Queenie (2/5): the strawberry cream was good and fruity but the matcha was very light and watery -Funny business (1/5): I like banana cream but the cinnamon was too much and overpowering the whole drink so I couldn't even taste the banana, matcha was super light too Parking is very difficult and there's always a line. The interior is cute and aesthetic and their drinks are fun and creative. However, there's much better matcha places so I will not come back. read more

My taste has changed so I'm leaving another review. Unfortunately their matcha isn't doing it for me anymore. It's very watery and barely tastes like matcha. I got both drinks at half sweet since full sweetness is very sweet. Queenie (3/5): I like the strawberry cream, but the matcha itself was watery and didn't taste like much Funny business (1/5): I love banana cream so was excited to try this, but I wasn't a fan of the cinnamon. It was very overwhelming and I didn't taste the banana The interior is pretty and aesthetic, but parking is very difficult. Since there's usually a line to order, I ordered ahead of time via the Toast app so drinks were ready when I arrived (took about 10 minutes). There's better matcha options in SD so I won't be coming back read more

Fact: if you're a plant lover, there's a high probability you're also a coffee or matcha lover. Whoever thought of putting a coffee shop in the middle of a nursery knew exactly what they were doing. Grabbing a drink at Selva Coffee House feels like sipping a latte in the middle of a jungle -- it's stunning, lush, and full of things to look at. They offer a large menu of specialty drinks, matcha‑based drinks, pastries, burritos, and more. There's also the cutest little shop filled with handcrafted items. Inside, they have a fridge and snack section stocked with canned drinks, chips, sandwiches, parfaits, and other grab‑and‑go goodies. Parking is easy with both a nursery lot and street parking. Heads up: this place is usually busy and drinks take a bit of time, but they text you when your order is ready -- and honestly, wandering through the gorgeous nursery makes the wait enjoyable. Try not to take another plant baby home. I always order the Queenie, their specialty strawberry cold‑foam matcha drink. I get it half or quarter sweet, which is the perfect level for me. Milk alternatives don't cost extra, and they even have soy milk. They do have Wi‑Fi and plenty of tables, but it can be hard to snag a spot if you're planning to work -- come early. At least you'll be surrounded by beautiful plants, which is its own kind of therapy. And yes, they're dog‑friendly. One of my favorite coffee shops in San Diego. read more

The easiest 5 star rating of my life. I stumbled upon this beautiful coffee shop / green house because it was 3 minutes away from my hotel and I struck gold. It's a large beautiful space with many tables and seats, nestled between lots of greenery and an amazing music selection, it would be the ideal spot to get some work done. We were rung up by Donny who was extremely kind & helpful. He answered all our questions and recommended us his favorites. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, that Ube Concha was unique, soft & fluffy. You must try if you go! I will be dreaming about my Earl Grey Latte (the Trust Fund Kid) forever... or at least until I can come back. The Funny Business is perfect for any banana lover... I think it would be delicious as a matcha as well. This experience was already one of a kind but the cherry on top was the fact they have cats living here! We saw Mango, a beautiful calico cat but apparently there are others too! I would make the drive from LA to San Diego again solely to visit this coffee spot, I hope to be back soon! read more

Enjoy a coffee or tea in a splendid green oasis at Selva. Located inside of Terra Bella Nursery, this is one of the most relaxing cafes I've visited. And, it's not just photogenic, because the drinks are good, too. The nursery itself is huge, so you order your drink, and then get to walk around and check out all the plants, and maybe purchase one. The menu at Selva includes lots of matcha options in addition to specialty coffee drinks. I like that they don't charge extra for alternative milks. They do offer some pastry options as well as burritos. I usually just get an oat milk latte and it's always been just right. This is definitely on our list of regular stops when we're in San Diego. read more

I fell absolutely in love with this coffee shop! From the gorgeous greenery everywhere you look, to the instagram-worthy and delicious drinks, to the trinkets and accessories you can browse while you're in line to order your drink, to the music they played in the background... Selva just ticked all the dang boxes for me. What we tried: Pillow Fight (cotton candy + matcha + milk + cotton candy cloud cream) - 4/5 Queenie (strawberry + matcha + milk + strawberry cloud cream) - 4.5/5 More than Friends (brown sugar + espresso + milk + tiramisu cloud cream) - 5/5 Funny Business (banana + honey + matcha + milk + banana cinnamon cloud cream + cinnamon) - 3/5 This place was just so aesthetically pleasing. It was bright and lively all over the entire area. They had a number of seating that was woven around the plants throughout the coffee shop, so you're actually surrounded by all of these beautiful foliage while sipping your drink of choice for the day. It's also attached to a nursery, so you can definitely browse and do some plant shopping while waiting for the baristas to whip up your drink--it makes the wait go by so much faster! Selva isn't just your typical cafe around the corner. It's exceptionally unique that you'd have to visit and experience being there yourself to know how one of a kind this place truly is. Everything about this place was just *chef's kiss*. Will absolutely come back for more! read more

Cute coffee shop inside the Terra Bella Nursery where you can buy a fiddle fig or monstea while waiting for your drink order. They have really cute drink names and interesting concoctions but were way too sweet for me. The service was great with friendly employees. The tables are inside the nursery so it gives off calming vibes. The downside is the little bugs the plants attract that are flying around your drink. The big disco ball inside the actual nursery is great! read more

Dropped in on a Saturday morning and it was bustling! I love the vibe they've created with tables interspersed between plants, it makes you feel like you're sitting in a jungle. Don't be too intimidated by the line, it can take a bit of time to order and get your coffee but it's worth it! If you're in a rush, you can also place an online order before you arrive. The options for lattes, matcha, espresso, and coffee are endless. There also are a ton of food options including pastries, burritos, and fruit. I enjoyed an orange pistachio muffin (warmed up of course) and it was DELISH. The perfect pairing for my iced shaken brown sugar espresso. It's a great spot to enjoy a coffee and journal or read a book read more

Beautiful garden sanctuary with cute and unique drinks! I came for an evening book club outing so hoped a matcha at night wouldn't keep me up since I wanted to try! I got the Slow Clap which is guava matcha - not something you can get everywhere! It wasn't as guava-y as I would have liked and I got it without ice (didn't want it watered down if I didn't drink it all) so it looked a little low and sad. Not the most picturesque sadly. It was still good! A friend got the Peep Show, essentially a s'mores coffee. The top was straight up marshmallow fluff and they said it was delish! It was so nice of the shop to accommodate our group but it was also very loud with the music. They weren't willing to turn it down at all so if you're going in to chat with people, know that it's pretty dang loud in there. Parking is ok and there are sooooo many plants to choose from at this nursery! read more

Yes, 10000% absolutely come here! After stopping in here yesterday on the way somewhere else for a pick me up, I would literally drive the two hours it took us to get there just to have their coffee again. I just wrote a review like two days ago about how I have a hard time paying more than six dollars for a coffee, I would pay the $7 for Selva's More Than Friends Latte all day, every day... multiple times a day, give me! The flavors are so balanced, such good flavor of both the espresso and the brown sugar and tiramisu... Truly a combination that I don't think I've had anywhere, and I have literally been thinking about it all day today. Highly recommend grabbing a raspberry danish if they have them too Beyond the drinks, their customer service is top notch. Both the barista who took our order and the one who gave us a drinks were so helpful and friendly, also not something you sadly find anymore in a lot of places. The I'll be able to go without saying, 10 out of 10. You're surrounded by plants, and there's flowers and butterflies hanging from the ceiling. They also have a lot of very cute knickknacks, flower and plant pots, stickers, all kinds of stuff that would be cute as a unique gift for someone or yourself. read more

I'll start with the good - the place is super cute and very unique idea of having it inside a nursery, cute tables surrounded by greenery, nicely decorated, vibes are high. Everything else - not so good. We went on a Saturday, line was long, we waited about 30 mins to get our order, which would be fine if the coffee was good. Unfortunately it was SO sweet it was impossible to enjoy. I literally had to throw it away after a couple sips because i was getting nauseous. We got 2 different specialty drinks, and both were equally overly sweet. We got a prosciutto brie sandwich croissant which was $10 and was a flat, refrigerated, pancaked "sandwich" that they wouldn't even heat up. Threw that away too after two bites. Also got a cinnamon roll, and it was mid. Overall nothing was satisfying and it was just a waste of time and money. Will not be returning. read more

TERRA BELLA NURSERY AND SELVA COFFEE HOUSE - PAIRED REVIEWS - VIBES FOR DAYS, BUT ARE THEY WORTH THE HYPE? I was on a mission for plants and coffee this morning with a destination in mind, and Terra Bella and Selva Coffee House delivered! Parking in the ample lot was a breeze this early (9:15am), but I know that later in the day, it can get quite busy and a little chaotic, so plan accordingly. There is also a Burrito food truck (Just Plain Queen) in the parking lot which was cute, but I did not try it. Maybe next time! After looking at the plants throughout the nursery, I wandered back to the coffee house line and waited to order. I went with an iced kickflip (mocha, banana, espresso, milk - $7). All specialty drinks are $7 according to the menu. The ordering process took no time, but the queue for drinks was lengthy. It took about 20 minutes for my drink to be ready. The good thing is that they do have a screen that lets you know where you are in the line and when your drink will be ready, so you can look at plants while you are waiting for your items. While I was waiting for my drink, I went back to the plant counter, paid for my plants, brought them out to my car, and then went back to wait some more...Service was fine. Everyone I interacted with was helpful and friendly. There are a number of cute gift items for sale in the coffee house area, and they also have TONS of cold beverages in several refrigerators. They have some unique selections, and not just the usual stuff that you see everywhere. I didn't order any of the bagels or baked goods, but I did buy a little notebook as a gift. My drink was tasty and what I was hoping for. Sweet, but not too sweet. Coffee, banana, and mocha flavors were on point. There are about half a dozen cute round tables and chairs set up in the coffee house amongst the plants. It is a pleasant and unique environment in which you can enjoy your treats and company. Verdict: This was a fun little visit. The nursery is well organized, and both the nursery and the coffee shop are decorated in a cute and unexpected way for Valentine's Day. Coffee shop prices were comparable to other specialty coffee shops, and the nursery seemed mostly reasonable if a bit pricey, but for the service, options, and experience, it is definitely worth a visit. PRO TIPS: Arrive early! Buy your plants before visiting the coffee shop, and show your receipt at the coffee shop for 10% off! :) read more

Selva Coffee House is a huge space and perfect if you love matcha, coffee, and plants. The aesthetic is beautiful, and the service is solid as well. Queenie (10/10): A great balance of matcha and strawberry. The strawberry is on the sweeter side, but the matcha balances it out really well, making it super enjoyable. While the space is great for hanging out, it's not ideal for long study sessions since there aren't any outlets to charge laptops or iPads. Seating is also limited. That said, if you're looking to relax, grab a drink, and catch up with friends, this is a great spot to do just that. read more

Highly recommend! 10/10 I also tried their chorizo and egg burrito which was very small but I was not a fan. Their cheese danish is very good.

Needed a matcha fix for the new year before driving back to LA and found this spot on Yelp. Super cute nursery that was really popping. The inside is super cute and so much work went into the decor + giant disco ball and huge rotating rock? formation. I think the cafe table area setup is really smart as well because plants divide up the sections of sitting vs standing tables. The service is fine. It was really busy here and quite a long wait. Ambiance and presentation here was noice. The drinks were pretty & strawberry matcha is pretty good. We can't really taste any pistachio in the middle drink, but it was like a creamy matcha instead. read more

Stopped by Selva Coffee House and grabbed two iced drinks. I ordered the Featherweight and my husband got the Sleigh Ride. First things first, it was super packed. We went around 3 pm on a Saturday, which I expected to be busy, but it was definitely a full house. The atmosphere is really pretty though. Tons of plants everywhere, lots of natural light, and overall a really nice space to hang out in if you have the time. My drink, the Featherweight, was okay. Not bad, just not the best. It didn't really stand out to me and probably isn't something I would order again. That said, my husband really liked his Sleigh Ride. He genuinely enjoyed it and said it was smooth and well balanced, so I'd say that's the safer order. One thing to note, my drink took about 20 minutes to come out, which felt a little long considering it was an iced coffee. I get that it was busy, just something to keep in mind if you're in a rush. Overall, really cute spot with a great vibe. I'd come back for the atmosphere and to try a different drink next time, but plan ahead if you're going during peak hours. read more

Really cute nursery + coffee shop. The DJ was playing house music which was a VIBE Drinks were REALLY good. Service was great. Longer line but that's more time to look at the plants. read more

Great option for a coffee shop that stays open late. Love walking through the nursery while waiting for my order. Spacious with ample seating. The '25 seasonal drinks are really fun. I ordered the Cotton-Headed Ninny Muggins half-sweetened and it was delicious. read more
