So the second Class 302 just opened in Irvine. This is the one we said would replace Dumpling Noodle House, next to Yogurtland and Thai Spice.
They still offer their specialities: shaved snow and Taiwanese comfort food packed in metal lunch tins. And it still themes its dining room, tables, and serving vessels to something out of a grade school classroom.

But this Class 302 has graduated to something a bit different: rather than waiting forever for your boba drink to be made, you make your own boba drink from self-serve spigots that pours out different milk teas and flavored liquids, and then to a topping station where all the bobas and cut up fruit are.
It's not the first self-serve boba joint in the world, but it may be the first one in OC.
Here are some pictures from an Instagram buddy of Anne Marie's.
