If you’re looking for a great breakfast spot in Houston, locals will likely point you in the direction of Baby Barnaby’s Cafe. This stylish eatery features a ceiling painted with rainbow stripes, local artwork hanging on the walls, and leather booths that provide a cozy place to enjoy a hot breakfast and a strong cup of coffee. There’s even a covered outdoor patio that makes an enjoyable place for breakfast or brunch on cooler Texas days.

Baby Barnaby’s is a sister restaurant to the small Barnaby’s chain, and it serves many of the same unique breakfast dishes. The green eggs, buttermilk waffles, and Bob’s Healthy Plate are some of the most popular items, and the restaurant even serves freshly squeezed juices straight from the juicer. In addition to breakfast, Baby Barnaby’s Cafe offers a classic American menu of high-end diner food and Tex-Mex favorites, as well as a small wine list for adult guests.

If you’re a coffee fan who takes the home brew very seriously, you’re likely always on the hunt for new kinds of coffeemakers. These four tried-and-true options are longtime favorites of coffee lovers around the world, and best of all, they’re just as beautiful as they are functional.

1. The French Press. The class French press is a favorite for more than just the delicious coffee it produces. With its tall, cylindrical shape, elegant handle and its plunger at the top, this simple coffeemaker is also one of the most attractive. Modern versions come in stainless steel styles, geometric shapes and even eye-catching colors.
2. The Pour-Over. Many high-class cafes are adding pour-over brews to their menus, and you can create the same strong cup of coffee at home with an affordable pour-over dripper. These feature a triangular shape that fits a special filter right inside, and they’re often made of natural ceramic.
3. The Turkish Coffee Pot. Brass Turkish coffee pots look very elegant, and their long, angled handles are decorated with ornate designs that add an eclectic look to your stovetop.
4. The Stovetop Espresso Maker. Even the cappuccino fan can get in on the decorative coffeemaker action. Stainless steel stovetop espresso makers are common throughout European households, and they look truly charming sitting on your stove.
