1 is wrong and 3 is also wrong.
Is acts like the は particle. So in English we use is to mark a singular subject.

@Shibamaru He comes here is okay 👌🏼
The meaning is okay because in this case you don't need is.
For eg: Miho plays here.
Saya comes to this cafe.
You would only need *is*with a ing verb
Miho is playing here.
Masaki is coming to the party.
Then, you would need is

the right one is 2 when u use "is" there is no literal meaning for those words they are more there for helping sentences flow better, and is is a tense for the present such as "she IS here" if it was to say somthing about a past event it would be "she WAS here" if you are talking about yourself in a sentence you would use " I AM Here" and ING is for a present verb, somthing that is currently being done. like " she is coming here", "I am wrighting this messege". there are a few times ING could be used for the past but it's more adding in past tense words before or after the ING word like "I WAS talking about somthing"
