The shop is super well laid out and not cluttered and hard to shop, like a few other comic/collectible places we have been. As soon as we walked in, the attendants behind the register were so excited to welcome and help us find anything we needed. They came out to answer questions, and helped my husband find key issues he wanted (so we left with a lot of loot LOL) Aside from all the great comics, they also have collectibles, like plushies, Funkos, figurines etc. as well as a little spot for kids to play while their parents shop. They are called Legend Comics and COFFEE, and I was more interested in the coffee than the comics so I stopped in to the cafe while my husband perused everything. I got the Golden Caramel Latte, and it was extra delicious - not too sweet but still a little hint of the caramel to give you that sweet taste. My husband wanted to get a drink that was chocolatey, but without coffee. I asked the barista at the coffee shop if they had anything like that, and he actually made me something special on the spot. It was a frozen chocolate milk, and my husband went wild for it. I don't think it's on the menu, and was made impromptu, but you may be able to ask for that, if you want to try! There is a lot of seating at the cafe and also around the comic shop, including little benches, if you want to sit and pore over your potential purchases or if you're waiting for someone to finish shopping. Even though we spent way too much money here, I definitely recommend it if you're a comic collector/lover, as they have so many things to explore (both in comics and coffee) and you may find something new you love!

Our parking spot was right outside of Rusty Farm Girls Primitives which made it the logical choice for our first stop Rusty Farm Girls Primitives is a nice little shop with a mix of mostly vintage and few new items. Some neat commercial items... Like the collection of sewing machines I snapped a picture of. We were greeted right away when we walked in and we found ourselves browsing both the upper and lower levels. Well laid out...the varied selection of items here is pretty cool. A great first stop on our tour of Walnut's antique shops!

Maybe it was something in how the merchandise was displayed...? Even though Corn County Antiques wasn't one of my favorites...it might be yours! I'd encourage everyone...if you're in Walnut... At least poke your head into every shop on Antique City Drive. It's a tour that can be completed in less than a full day and you never know what kind of a hidden treasure you might find as you walk through this neat little town.

Granaray Antique Mall has two levels and lots of offshoot rooms to explore! Cases, rows of shelves, and furniture! This is the mall that I would call a "guy's mall!" A lot of dark wood, brass, antlers, etc. But there's something for everyone here too... Everything from smalls like jewelry to furniture that probably weighs several hundred pounds. I picked up three brass firehose nozzles priced at $20 ea, but the vendor had their case marked at 50% off. Nozzles that should have been $30-$40 ea market value I walked away paying $10 ea. I left happy. Well worth the 1+hr trip from the Des Moines metro to Walnut on a beautiful Friday before Memorial Day! Granary Antique Mall and Walnut Antique Mall are two must stop destinations on your trip into Walnut IA!

I would definitely be back to see what else he has in store.

This was our second stop after Rusty Farm Girls Primitives and right then we decided the trip to Walnut from the Des Moines IA metro had been worth it. We've driven a lot further for a lot less. The woman working the counter here was very friendly and willing to work a little on prices if we were serious about it. One of the few places where that offer was extended... I would have loved to have taken that HUGE bell just inside of the front door home with me... If only I'd had a spare $1,250.00 in my account. Unfortunately the amount of flex up and down we both could do wasn't going to get us in the ballpark. Lol Walnut Antique Mall and Granary Antique Mall are two must stop destinations on your visit to Walnut IA!
