SELVA COFFEE HOUSE — SAN DIEGO
What Is Selva Coffee House San Diego?
Selva Coffee House San Diego is a specialty coffee shop tucked inside Terra Bella Nursery in the Midway District of San Diego. The concept: an artisan coffee bar surrounded by hundreds of lush, living plants — hanging greenery, tropical plants, botanical arrangements covering every surface — creating what reviewers consistently describe as a “jungle escape,” “tropical paradise,” and “little oasis in the city.” You order coffee, and while you wait, you wander a full-scale nursery.
The combination of creative specialty drinks, the botanical nursery setting, weekend DJ events, and the no-extra-charge policy for non-dairy milk has made Selva San Diego one of the most-photographed coffee shops in Southern California. With 842 Yelp reviews and 2,434 photos, it has one of the highest visual documentation rates of any independent coffee shop in San Diego.
