Nestled in between Des Moines and Omaha is the historic sweet town of Walnut, Iowa. The Notebook Café has an amazing and unique place we call 'The Cafe' located in the oldest standing building in the small Midwest town of Walnut, Iowa. Inside our renovated circa 1875 bank building, you'll enjoy the signature 'Cafe' brunch, special devotion time with The Notebook Cafe Publisher, Shelly Thompson, and a tour of the circa 1875 historic bank building restored by Shelly, her husband, and parents. Since the fall of 2017 'The Cafe' has welcomed many women's groups including Bible Study and circle groups, Birthday gatherings, sisters, mother's and daughter's, and lifetime friends. After your time at 'The Cafe' you can leisurely stroll along the quaint brick lined streets of Walnut and enjoy several amazing shops featuring vintage, shabby, recycled, upscaled, and repurposed finds, along with amazing food and bakery items at the local bakery, ice cream in the 50's style eatery 'Banana Split', of a full menu of home cooking at Emma Jean's. 'The Cafe' is a great meet-up for a 'Girl's Day Out with God!' where you'll be refreshed in the Word...enjoy a relaxed time of fellowship with friends...and have fun with some great shopping and eating! Don't forget about Birthday parties (who wouldn't want to celebrate their Birthday in an 1875 historic building)! Consider 'The Cafe' in historic Walnut, Iowa, for your next women's gathering!
