    Ham and Brie sandwich and Mexican Chicken Chili
    Jessie P.

    Love this place! It is so cozy inside, it feels like you are sitting down for lunch at a friends house. The food was homey and filling, perfectly melted brie on the sandwich and a hearty dollop of avocado into the soup! It is generally pretty busy in here during the lunch hour so be prepared for a full parking lot and a bit of hustle and bustle inside.

    Always tasty and consistent! Excellent brunch options here, full bar. The Southern Benny is by far my favorite brunch item here. Delicious fat crab cake, perfectly paired with pimento cheese and a lightly fried green tomato and the hollandaise sauce with a perfect egg. A+

    This is the third time I've been here and it's just an okay cafe. Pluses: it's in a cute house, great indoor/outdoor seating, large menu. Negatives: the food is simple and no real flavor. I ordered the quinoa salad special this time and they forgot to include quinoa... The service has been fine eat time I've been. It's -always- been cold inside. If you're looking for a simple place to eat that is very casual, this is the place. But there are so many better options for good food around here.

    Roasted Turkey Sandwich
    Jocelyne W.

    This place is so cute! I came in on a Sunday for brunch with a friend and we were seated right away. It appears to be in an old house that has been renovated. There is a beautiful fireplace when you walk in and smaller rooms with tables, which makes it feel very cozy. I ordered a cold brew coffee, it was okay. I also got a cup of their potato, broccoli & cheddar soup. It was. generous portion for a cup! Absolutely delicious and fresh tasting. For my entree, I ordered the roasted turkey sandwich. Sourdough bread was so soft and airy and turkey was good quality-- not overly processed or salty. It was $15 for just the sandwich (no side included), so on the pricey side. I did notice that they are able to do all their sandwiches gluten free if you need that. Server was nice and attentive, they take Blackbird for payment, which I utilized. Cute inside, good food. I'll be back!

    We love Five Loaves. As a pescatarian with a gluten-free fiancée we can always find great food here! Amazing soups (broccoli cheddar), sandwiches w gluten free bread, salads with locally sourced ingredients and craft cocktails! We've been several them and have always been pleased with the meals. We've sat in the porch and inside and even moved our book club here and they've been very accommodating!

    Monte Cristo, grit with cheese. 5/10
    Melissa M.

    We were wanting a good brunch and we decided to stop here. The inside of the restaurant is very nice but the food was not that great. We ordered the special which was the biscuits with strawberry hibiscus butter, that's what sold me because in my mind I had a vision of fresh strawberries and hibiscus pieces pressed into butter with warm flaky biscuits. That was far from my reality. We got 2 lukewarm flat biscuits with what tasted like regular butter with pink food coloring in it. 3/10. After the very disappointing special, I tried to play it safe with the Monte Cristo and a side of cheesy grits. My husband got all sides because they don't have a traditional breakfast on their menu, biscuits and sausage gravy, bacon, and a side of cheesy grits. The Monte Cristo was good. It was very filling, I ended up eating half of it. Both mine and my husbands cheesy grits tasted like it had some blueberry flavor in it. The sausage and gravy was bland. The bacon was delicious. I'm not sure what happened to this place but it used to be so good. We were disappointed this time around.

    Wonderful cafe and absolutely worth a stop for lunch if you're traveling through this charming downtown! Neat setting and the service is excellent. We tried the tomato soup and it was homemade goodness! Not sure the origin of their breads, but if we lived here we'd find it and make it our place to buy bread for home. The turkey sammie was good, but the chicken salad blew it away. Damn! It would be nice if they offered french fries as an option, instead of a bag of chips . . . Cheers! RS

    Five Loaves Summerville is hands down my favorite location. The service is always warm and welcoming. The ambiance is cozy, inviting, and wonderfully relaxed. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The FLC Caesar salad served with warm tortellini is my go to dish. It is comforting, delicious, and incredibly satisfying, and the broccoli and cheese soup is rich, creamy, and full of cheesy goodness. The portions are also much more generous than the other location, making every visit feel like an exceptional and enjoyable dining experience.

    Crab Southern Benny - Amazing!
    Beth B.

    We met my son and his girlfriend here after moving them to Summerville from Missouri. I loved the atmosphere! We ordered mimosas from the bar while we were waiting for our table. They were perfectly light on orange juice! We all enjoyed our food and drinks and will definitely be coming back on our next visit.

    Another date night win at one of our local favorites. Five Loaves Cafe just launched their Spring menu a couple of days ago, and Chef Rhett & Chef Stephen knocked it out of the park. This might just be my favorite FLC menu launch yet, and I hope they stick around! Service is always amazing and we always leave happy and full. Spring Bonus - Make sure to take advantage of the great Spring weather and dine on the patio. Rotating Mocktail FLC Spritz - Aperol, prosecco, limoncello, muddled strawberries Seasonal Margarita - Espolon tequila, triple sec, agave, fresh seasonal juices (Prickly Pear) Chicken Feta Meatballs - tri colored bell peppers, tomato-vodka sauce Bread basket with oil and vinegar Vegetable lettuce wrap with shrimp - this wasn't on the menu but if you can get it, get it! Citrus Kale Salad - blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, feta, carolina gold rice BBQ Spice Pork Tenderloin - field pea succotash, corn, bacon, onions, red peppers, rosemary blackberry jam FLC Crab Cakes - pistou creamed carolina gold rice, kale, whole grain mustard remoulade Red Wine Braised Short Rib - garlic whipped potatoes, grilled asparagus, mushroom ragu Coconut Cake

    Five loaves Cafe in Summerville is set up in a very cute large cottage in Summerville. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and very comfortable. The hostesses were very friendly upon arrival and immediately sat us at a great table. The food was amazing and came in very large portions. I got the tofu scramble and my husband got the breakfast sandwich. Both were very yummy! I love this place. We will definitely come back.

The facility was clean and well stocked. The quality of food is not worth the crowding or wait time that so many are subjected. As a single person party, I chose to find a seat at the bar. It was not overly large and was monitored by 2 servers. I was fairly quickly addressed to get my drink and I ordered a starter without prompting due to the number of patrons. Another sat beside me but she was overlooked for quite a bit of time, finally having to ask for a menu. Once my starter arrived, the okra basket, I was ignored. The okra was ok but nothing special, standard premade restaurant supply brand of thickish breading that was intermittently soft or crunchy. I was 1/4 way through the basket before I had a chance to request cutlery and seeing that the servers had started to focus only on the person next to me that they had initially overlooked, I also requested my entree. I had reviewed the menu prior to arrival and decided on my order in advanced. Unfortunately it was not available on the brunch menu and lunch was not an available option. I should have asked for the check at that time but selected an omelette instead. While waiting and consuming my starter, I requested a menu draft to be told it was unavailable too. The suggested alternative was decent. My entree arrived about 20 minutes later. It was dry, both the eggs and protein. I was able to request and receive a sauce in a short period of time. My refill did not need to be requested but it was incorrect so I did have to ask for another. I know the staff is most likely good, the popularity produced by the Travel Channel keeps them too busy and complacency is prevalent. I had hoped that the publicity did not change the uniqueness of the menu but I will trust my intuition in the future and continue to avoid these types of restaurants.

Lastly the soda area was dirty and smelled like a kindergarten bathroom. It is worth the drive to get AMAZING seafood at Bowens Island Restaurant or just get a better sub at Jersey Mikes for cheaper. Hushpuppies charges too much for its low level of service, quality of food and lack of cleanliness compared to many other average restaurants.
