BUS STOP
Located at 304 West Court St., the iconic blue and white Bus Station in Downtown Dyersburg, Tennessee was the bustling transportation center of the Northwest Tennessee Region from its construction in the 1930s until its closure as a bus station in the 1980s.
Following a succession of humbling uses by various tenants over the next 30 years, the building was renovated and re- purposed into the Bus Stop Coffee Shop in 2015.
Bus Stop was founded amidst the ongoing revitalization of Dyersburg’s Court Square and business district with the purpose of providing a unique downtown cafe and dining experience unlike anything else in Dyersburg.
The Bus Stop Cafe is dedicated in its mission to provide customers each day with the highest quality fare at affordable prices in a classic location in a building that recalls the art deco styles of earlier days..
The Bus Stop offers customers a wide-range variety of deli sandwiches, freshly cut salads, homemade pastries, muffins, smoothies, and premium espresso and brewed coffee drinks, hot or cold, including everything from rich, black java to lattes, frappes. Hours for the Bus Stop are Tuesday-Friday from
7 a.m.-3 p.m.; Saturday from 9-3 p.m.; closed Sunday and Monday.
