Bubble tea is set to get the gourmet treatment with a luxe new dispensary opening at Portside Wharf this August, as part of its ongoing rejuvenation. Temple Boba is a luxe bubble tea bar from the crew at Better Foods Family, 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 will look unlike any bubble tea joint you’ve seen before. The 60-sqm space will feature Calacatta marble, textured walls and a rich burgundy and plum colour scheme that mirrors the eye-catching beauty of cherry blossom trees. Seating will be divided across indoor and alfresco spaces, which will be furnished with stylish round tables and timber chairs. As for the offering, Temple Boba will serve 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. We’ve also been told to expect unique, limited-edition and seasonal flavours. We’ll be taking a closer look at Temple Boba when it opens later this year.
