Hi y’all! If you’ve been around the Law Quad, you may know La Maison Bleue, the small Japanese-inspired drink shop that was on campus.

Unfortunately, they’ll no longer be at SMU. They’re a small, family-owned business that has been trying to share Japanese culture through their drinks, and I’d really hate for their time at SMU to end without students getting the chance to show whether we actually want them here.

One issue may have been their location in the Law Quad. A lot of students outside that area either didn’t know they were there or didn’t regularly walk by it, so I’m curious whether things could be different if they were somewhere more central on campus.

We are collecting student feedback to see if there’s enough interest to bring to SMU and potentially advocate for La Maison Bleue to return in a more accessible location.

The form takes less than a minute:

Even if you never bought from them before, your feedback is still helpful, especially if you didn’t know they existed because of where they were located.

This isn’t about attacking SMU or anyone involved in the decision. We just want to see if there’s genuine student demand and, if there is, hopefully make a case for giving a small local business another chance. ♡
