Our Story
Farm to Cup. Built in Houston.
Six Rows Café started with a simple belief — that great coffee should come from the ground up. We source directly from small farms, roast with intention, and serve with care.
What We Are
We're not a restaurant. We're not a meal prep service. We're a specialty coffee brand built on relationships — with farmers, with our community, and with every cup we pour.
Six Rows is the coffee arm of VK Capital Ventures, founded by Chef MAUBS — Houston's culinary entrepreneur. While Six Rows focuses on the bean, Chef MAUBS handles everything on the plate.
This is farm-to-cup. This is Six Rows.
