Six stops across bubble tea, dessert, bakeries and coffee.
The Burwood dessert run
- Dinner, then dessert. The local rhythm: a big Asian feed, then a wander for bubble tea or bingsu.
- Customise it. Half sugar, less ice, extra pearls — every boba shop will make it your way.
- Share the bingsu. The shaved-ice bowls are huge; one easily feeds two or three.
- Mornings are calmer. For a quiet coffee and brunch, the park-side cafés beat the after-dinner rush.
