Whether you're gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan, there's an array of options to tantalise your palate. The menu showcases a range of sweet and savoury breakfast options, from the refreshing coconut panna cotta granola to hearty classics like chicken waffles and Turkish eggs. Complement your meal with expertly brewed pour-over coffee, or choose from their curated tea selection. 

Weekends can get busy, so arrive early to secure your spot or be prepared to wait — word spread fast about this gem of a café. Alongside their main menu, Comes & Goes offers grab-and-go treats from the cabinet, including savoury delights like cheese scones and kimchi scones, along with the irresistible Whittaker's chocolate raspberry cake, a gluten-free favourite. Explore their range of locally sourced products, featuring Six Barrel Soda and Peoples Coffee. 

Whether a local or passing traveller, Comes & Goes promises an unforgettable dining experience. Though slightly off the beaten path from the CBD, the journey is well worth it for the beautifully crafted dishes and inviting ambience.
