Why go
A custom blue Linea PB on the bar
The espresso machine is the first thing that tells you what this place is: a custom blue La Marzocco Linea PB, sitting inside a café that carries a motorcycle theme through the rest of the room. The latte is the order that follows, poured with real latte art and pulled with attention to the extraction, which is where a café either is or is not serious. Around it, six over coffee & company reads as independent, minimalist and small but capable, refreshingly unpretentious about all of it.
Matcha, pastry and a small room
Matcha is central here rather than an afterthought, sold as a made drink and also on the shelf, with Rocky’s matcha available to take home. Beyond the two main lanes the board picks up a peach green tea and a blackberry drink, and a blondie for anyone who wants the bake rather than the cup. The pastries are the strongest part of the food and worth ordering on their own merits.
The room is small, with seating indoors and out, and it can feel tight when the bar is busy. That is the trade for a downtown Monterey café run at neighbourhood scale, with music, a carefully chosen rack of merch and staff who make the place feel like somewhere people return to. It is a coffee stop, not a restaurant, and it does not pretend otherwise. What it offers instead is consistency: the same care over a latte at nine in the morning as at noon.
What to order first
Order a latte if espresso is the priority. It matches the clearest quality signals here, the latte art and the care over extraction, and it is the drink the Linea PB was bought to make. If matcha is the draw, order it made at the bar and look for the retail tins on the way out. Outside those two lanes, the peach green tea and the blackberry drink are the ones people mention, and the blondie is the sweet to try alongside. Then add a pastry, since that is the food the counter does best. The safest first visit is a latte or a matcha, a pastry, and enough time to notice the room, the music and the motorcycle-accented bar.

Frequently asked questions
What should I order at six over coffee & company?
A latte, which is where the care over extraction and the latte art show, or a matcha if tea is the draw. Rocky's matcha is also sold to take home. Beyond those, a peach green tea, a blackberry drink and the blondie come up often, and the pastries are the strongest food here.
What kind of café is six over coffee & company?
A small independent downtown Monterey coffee bar, minimalist and unpretentious, with a motorcycle theme and a custom blue La Marzocco Linea PB on the counter. There is seating indoors and outside, though it fills up when the bar is busy, so it works better as a coffee stop than a long working base.
