Comeco Foods Cafe - Newtown, Sydney

Comeco Foods Cafe in Newtown offers a unique dining experience with its vegan and gluten-free Japanese menu, catering to various dietary needs. Started by owners Yu Ozone and Masa Haga after Ozone’s health decline due to allergies, the cafe specializes in sourdough doughnuts, sushi, and other Japanese dishes. The doughnuts, made fresh daily, come in flavors like curry, matcha, and chocolate custard, while the sushi is vegan and gluten-free, prepared using a Japanese cooking method called ‘kasaneni’ for maximum flavor.
The cafe’s commitment to inclusivity is evident in its menu, which excludes gluten, egg, and dairy, except for a few items containing nuts and seeds. The cozy and intimate atmosphere of the cafe makes it an ideal spot for a casual lunch or dinner with friends, with dine-in services available throughout the week and extended hours on weekends. Customers can pre-order doughnuts to avoid missing out on popular flavors, as the cafe sells upwards of 1000 doughnuts a week.

Comeco Foods Cafe’s focus on allergy-free cooking stems from Ozone’s desire to create a space where people with or without dietary restrictions can enjoy delicious food together. This commitment to inclusivity and quality makes the cafe a standout destination on Newtown’s vegan high street, offering a welcoming environment and delectable dishes for all patrons.
