Juliana and Kevin (Clermont, Florida)

This interview is from June 13th.

Juliana: “We’ve had so much support from the community. We opened up a week ago Friday. We had a soft opening on Thursday, and then on June 5th, it was the official opening. It’s been overwhelmingly joyful for us. We’ve been very busy.”

Me: “How do you feel opening up a new restaurant during a pandemic?”

Juliana: “It took us over six months to plan, so it was very scary to think about opening up a new business during a pandemic. So far we’ve been hanging in there and doing okay.”

Kevin: “We’re wearing our masks and trying to keep a six foot social distancing as best we can.”

Me: “Is there anything you want to say to people who are reading this right now?”

Juliana: “Just that the support from the community has been really important to us. We want to bring something more than Boba to Clermont.”

In their opening weekend, Teamont Boba expected to sell roughly 500 drinks. Thanks to an outpouring of local support, in their first three days they sold nearly 1,800. The first picture is the Teamont team, and the second is the family of four behind Clermont’s newest restaurant.
