Bubble received the gourmet treatment when Temple Boba, a luxe new bubble-tea dispensary opened at Portside Wharf in 2021. Opening as part of its Portside’s rejuvenation, Temple Boba is designed to be a sophisticated yet moody escape where guests can linger a little bit longer with their boba-filled beverage. Boasting a fit-out designed by highly regarded interior architects Muscolino Shaw and built by Lowry Group, Temple Boba looks unlike any bubble tea joint you’ve seen before. The 60-sqm space features Calacatta marble, textured walls and a rich burgundy and plum colour scheme that mirrors the eye-catching beauty of cherry blossom trees. Seating is divided across indoor and alfresco spaces, which are furnished with stylish round tables and timber chairs. As for the offering, Temple Boba serves a range of traditional boba flavours (think creamy taro milk tea, matcha, brown-sugar milk tea and passionfruit black tea) with a wide variety of toppings.
