One of the Peninsula’s Best Coffee Houses Is Hiding in a Midway District Nursery

Selva Coffee House recently opened at Terra Bella Nursery

We just picked up a story by Kate Murphy at MSN who claimed “San Diego’s best iced honey lavender latte is hiding inside a plant store.”

We looked into it (briefly) and found that Selva Coffee House just recently opened at a Midway District nursery, the Terra Bella Nursery at 3535 Camino Del Rio W. San Diego, CA 92110.

Murphy wrote:

“It serves the perfect pick-me-up while you roam around the massive warehouse deciding which plant you’ll bring home. What I had: The iced “Luna de Meil,” which is on the sweeter side, and can also be made hot.

It paired oddly well with the tiny chicken mole burrito the barista recommended since their bacon and egg burrito was sold out.

The seasonal drinks were also tempting — the “Queenie” is a strawberry matcha with strawberry cloud cream and the “Obsessed” is an ube latte. The vibe: The modern space is airy, bright, Instagrammable and filled with plants.

Murphy did caution:

With limited seating and parking, Selva isn’t a cozy coffee shop to work from. But, it’s a cute spot for a breakfast date or a fun afternoon with a plant-loving friend.
If you go: There’s a parking lot for the nursery, but park on the street if you just want coffee.
