Deep Sea Boba Opening In Joliet, But This Location May Really Surprise You

JOLIET, IL — Joliet Patch keeps writing about new restaurants and storefronts that keep popping up across Joliet. This week, Patch covered the grand opening of Tio's Donuts at 125 Collins Street. Earlier in the week, Patch highlighted the new 32-flavor ice cream shop that opened in March at 2 Ohio Street called La Michoacana Platinum. Now, it looks like there will be another new restaurant opening on Black Road in the large strip mall at the corner of Infantry Drive.

The new business at 2775 Black Road will be called Deep Sea Boba. A sign in the window proclaims that Deep Sea Boba will open in April, but that is not going to happen. Patch visited the strip mall on Thursday afternoon, and nobody was inside Deep Sea Boba at the time. The inside of the future drink refreshment shop still needed quite a bit of work before being ready to open to customers.

An opening in late May or June seemed more realistic.

"At Deep Sea Boba, we craft bold, adventurous flavors inspired by the wonders of the deep sea," its website proclaims. "From glowing jelly-inspired drinks to rich and creamy ocean-hued teas, every sip is an exploration of taste and texture. We believe boba should be more than just a drink—it should be an immersive experience. With dark, moody aesthetics, deep blue hues, and vibrant sea creature-inspired flavors, we bring the depths of the ocean to life in every cup."
