The cutest themed cafe and what a perfect location for it! I loved the horse decor throughout, it brought a cute homely feel to the cafe. The staff are very friendly and hospitable coming around often to check if their guests are happy. I loved the coffee here, they had a little line up for their takeaway. The dishes i ordered were simple but delicious. I really loved the 'Halloumi Salad' with broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, poached egg and sprouts. Very clean dish and left me feeling full and satisfied! The 'Smashed Avo' as some of you may know is a favourite of mine, their's was very simple and clean. Great start to the day!

Stable talk is hands down the best cafe in Kensington! The coffee is the best I’ve had and chocolate chip muffins are superb, and now that they are open for dinner I love popping in for a burger. The service is incomparable to anywhere else. Everyone in there is always happy to see you and has a smile on their face!

The servers are friendly, and kind. They always have a smile on their faces and even offered a very good spot in their restaurant near the AC when it was hot. The food are also good with good portion sizes. The restaurant itseld has a nice Western rustic feel.

Great costumer experience! Walked there to get my breakfast, ordered a Benedict roll and a flat white. The attendant gave me the wrong roll but I didn’t check and started walking back. The shop sent a crew member driving a car after realising their mistake and caught up with me after several minutes. The crew member introduced himself very politely and expressed his apology. Drove me back to the shop to get my correct order, then gave me a free snack for apology again. Possibly the best shopping experience in Sydney so far. And the food is great!
