"Yu Ozone developed the menu at her Japanese cafe in response to her own allergies, and everything, including the eggplant teriyaki sushi rolls and the sweet potato doughnuts, is vegan and gluten-free. She took six years to develop an eggless, wheatless tempura batter, which she now showcases in her lunch set of crisp vegetables seasoned with matcha salt. Comeco Foods is part of Newtown’s vegan mile, which is dotted with meat-free eateries, such as Khamsa (Sydney’s only Palestinian cafe), Le Gourmand (a plant-based patisserie), La Petite Fauxmagerie (a dairy-free cheesemonger), and Vandal (a vegan taqueria)." - Lee Tran Lam
