Buster’s Fountain and Cafe

Buster’s Fountain and Cafe Located in the heart of Historic Madison, IN, Buster's embraces the charm of a classic soda fountain & lunch counter cafe.

Inspired by our Papaw, James "Buster" Shelley, Buster's is a place to take a step back in time & enjoy the simpler things in life.

Unfortunately, we will be closed today. Due to electrical issues we are not going to be able to open today as we lost a majority of our food product this morning. Sorry folks! We will keep y’all posted on when we’ll be back as it will be a few weeks!

In our last few days we are loaded up on desserts! We’ve got lemon cookies, brookies, pie, etc. all while supplies last!

Hi folks,

As we welcome our daughter to the world this Friday, that is going to affect our schedule for a few weeks. We will remain OPEN through 7/31, and will be closed for a few weeks following. We are posting this now in order to be proactive. The shop will have signs out front, and in the back, and we are hoping to keep the inconveniences to you minimal. With that said, we look forward to welcoming you this week before we take a brief break.

In the meantime, remember Eric Phagan Art and Gallery 115 will still remain open during that time!

We hope to see you in this week, and look forward to welcoming you back to Buster’s as a family of 4.

Just a heads up, we may close earlier than expected today (between 3-4) due to some family needs. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Our kitchen is back and fully stocked. In the midst of power issues, our soda fountain has gone down entirely. To be honest, I am not certain on an ETA of return yet. It’s quite frustrating as our coil just got replaced and now the refrigeration is fried. However, we are still offering our sodas, we will just have to hand pour them. All other operations are back to normal at the moment.

We are going to do our best to re-open today! We appreciate your patience as we may be limited on capacity in certain areas still. However, the closer to opening we get, the more information we can provide. Thank you!

Due to electrical issues we are not going to be able to open today. We lost a majority of our food product this morning, and our drinks and soda fountain went offline entirely. We will keep everyone updated as we hope to re-open tomorrow.
