We go here fairly frequently and most of the time it's pleasant but sometimes it's never bad but a bit lackluster. Again never terrible but the little details are missed and servers hard to get their attention. Last time we went I ordered the arugula salad with North Atlantic Salmon and when we received it, there was no salmon. When I asked I was given a side of smoked salmon and informed that's how they always serve their salmon, which I know isn't true. I'd appreciate they just be honest and admit the mistake, I was craving hot salmon! Plus we were charged more for the smoked! Again not a big deal but the little misses add up. My husband wants to try it out again tonight so we obviously still go here, but again little details matter read more

Since moving to Summerville this summer, I think I've been to Five Loaves at least 7-8 times. It's great for brunch, date night, girls night or lunch. If you go, the soup sampler is a MUST either as an appetizer or alongside a sandwich! read more

Had one of the best salads topped with beats and goat cheese. It was very fresh and the balsamic dressing was so yummy. One of our favorite spots in town read more

Consistently good foid and service at Give Loaves. Always rated as one of Summerville's best restaurants.

Myself and my work colleague thought Five Loaves was really good. Plenty of choices on the menu, in fact I had a hard time choosing. Service was fast and friendly. The Cafe is maybe 10 minutes off I-26, so worth it. Looking forward to returning in the future. read more

My husband and I have an affinity for all things brunch...proper with the inclusion of mimosas! I usually get the same thing, so fir that reason I haven't updated my review until now. I ventured to try a new item on the menu: The Vegetable Benny. I'm always nervous and end up over ordering in the off chance I don't like the new item I have a backup or leftovers. The veggie Benny has a herb hollandaise, mushrooms, and goat cheese on the English muffin. It was absolutely delicious. I have no idea why I was nervous. The hollandaise was the star for me. It was creamy and even though it was not made using eggs, it wasn't missing anything. It is definitely on the list. You should try it if you haven't already. Live a little. Since I'm trying new things now, I feel like I can give you words to live by. Lol read more

Ordered a citrus kale salad w/ white balsamic vinaigrette, FLC Caesar and chicken Parmesan to go. The kale on the salad was doused in oil (I understand putting oil in it to make the kale massaged or what have you, but it was soaked). So that meal was ruined. I had a couple bites and tried to make it work but it was too wet. The picture is without any dressing. FLC Caesar was a full and had 5 tortellini pieces on it. Chicken in the chicken parm was completely overcooked. Usually their lunches are decent but I would not suggest getting any food to go unless it's a sandwich. read more

The long weekend I visited Charleston, I probably came the coldest day of the year. It felt so much like home, with the gloomy weather and cold temps... definitely not the conditions I imagined to be in when I was trying to leave the cold weather back at home. I read a good amount of positive reviews about Five Loaves and decided to give it a try! read more

Was visiting Summerville for the day and I stopped by here for lunch. Front staff seated me immediately and my server was excellent. I asked for recommendations on popular lunch items which she helped me with. I went with the soup of the day and the Chicken Salad Club sandwich...amazing! Never had to wait for a refill on my drink and was blown away how great the service and food was. Next time I am in town, I will definitely be coming back to Five Loaves. read more

Delicious and fresh! Great service, takeout available at bar area. Definitely will be back.

Delicious food, awesome atmosphere, amazing servers! Emily help me this evening and guided me to the flounder and chefs kiss! My complements to the chef amazing! read more

We found this place through Yelp and so glad we stumbled upon it. It is within walking distance to downtown Summerville. The place is very cute with a great atmosphere. We were first served warm rosemary Focaccia bread. It tasted as though it was freshly baked and it was so delicious. For dinner we ordered two soup samplers, a spinach salad with chicken, and smoked salmon salad. The food was served quickly and came out great. The roasted red pepper soup and Mexican chili were our favorite soups. The strawberry spinach salad tasted very fresh and was delicious. The smoked salmon salad was very freshly prepared and great as well. Our server, Malik, was very helpful and checked on us frequently. We definitely enjoyed the experience and would return often if we lived closer. read more

Once again i'm going to have to go to confession because I didn't take any pictures when I should have. But if you will pardon that transgression, I would like to give a brief assessment of dinner at this particular establishment. My wife and I moved here from New England back in June (2022), and ever sense the move, we have noticed that this particular restaurant is commonly crowded. One day per week is devoted to "date night," in our home, and sometimes we will go back to a familiar restaurant that we feel comfortable with; and other times we will try new restaurants, because it's always a fun and exciting thing to try a new place. We take turns choosing the restaurant, and it was my turn this week, so I finally decided to call this particular restaurant, to see if they take reservations, and I found out they do not. BUT, I was told that they change over to their "dinner" menu at five o'clock, and so if we arrived some time between four and five o'clock, not only would we find parking and a table, but we would also be able to HAVE the dinner menu. We noted that the menu had a lot of Vegetarian (V) and Gluten Free (GF) items, and i'm not a typical consumer in either one of those categories. I admit to an uninformed prejudice towards vegetarian food (which i suppose i could be converted from), but I DO have some experience with "Gluten Free" breads (for example) and I don't particularly care for the density. The bread served at the time of the appetizers was as expected for Gluten Free. That said, I ended up with an appetizer that was (I believe) called a "Mexican Chili," if I remember correctly. It tasted wonderful! However, it is a stretch to call it a "Chili." My Entree was chicken with creamed corn and Kale. It was a feast of flavors and texture! I had a glass of wine and a raspberry something or other for dessert. My wife's meal was the same, although she did not have the Kale, and she did not have the dessert. Both of us thought the food was just fine, and we received the food in a timely fashion. The price overall, for the entire meal, was reasonable. I suppose the only reason that I would not give five stars to this restaurant, (especially considering so many people eat there and like it), is because they will not take reservations; and I prefer to have a guaranteed table. The only other reason for a lack of a fifth star was..........There was a very tall bearded gentlemen there, who obviously was either the Manager or the Owner, who spent an uncomfortable amount of time loudly talking about various topics, over my shoulder and nearby. I preferred having the chance to converse with my wife over dinner, but the conversation behind me was a distraction from my ability to concentrate, and she had the same comment after we left. Parking, at least if you arrive between 4 and 5 on a week day (I can't speak to weekends) was no issue. read more

Great chicken n waffle! Had a baby with us and the staff didn't mind at all. Great service and hospitality during the entirety of lunch. Also really cool and unique atmosphere as it's a house turned into a restaurant. Totally would come back and try other menu items! read more

You can never go wrong with visiting this restaurant. The staff is wonderful and I've never had any issues with anything I've ever ordered. Everything on their menu is delicious. read more

Lovely service and cute place to grab breakfast. We ordered the Greek omelette and turkey hash with two coffees which cost approximately $50 (including tip). But worth the cost for a cute place to sit down and eat breakfast. They also have a bar if morning cocktails are your speed. Recommend this place for a chill morning breakfast with the family. read more

That salmon salad is awesome, we have never had a bad experience nor a bad meal. The service is outstanding and the restaurant is clean and inviting. read more

Our first time in town and found this great spot. Ashley was our server and very knowledgeable and attentive. We had the chicken Cobb salad and the flounder both were delicious. We will be back again read more

lovely for lunch. The soup flight was delicious. I still can't determine my favorite. I wonder if the chicken salad is really chicken or turket ... either way it was tasty. service was awesome (Ashley) Two changes I'd make; the coffee is very weak, like tea. The metal chairs EVERYWHERE are seriously uncomfortable. I can't return unless I bring a cushion read more

Great food nice ambiance really nice server. All in all a very good experience. We will be back

My wife and I came down from Wilmington, NC to help my daughter move into their new home in Summerville. We decided to go have lunch and fortunately we drove by this place, turned around to have lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. I must say, we had a wonderful experience at Five Loaves Cafe in Summerville, SC! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I started off with their margarita specials (with cider and cranberry, I believe) I particularly enjoyed their Ruben sandwich and a Mexican soup which were both delicious and made with high-quality ingredients. It's evident that the chefs take pride in their craft. Overall, Five Loaves Cafe is a fantastic place to enjoy a delicious meal in a welcoming environment. I highly recommend it! We will be back! read more

Food was not good. Service was fine, ambiance was nice. Just didn't enjoy the food over all and either did the person I say with

My sister lives in Summerville and we live all the way across the state so I see her rarely. This time my daughter and I decided to meet her at her daughters favorite place Five Loaves Cafe. First, the place is a beautifully renovated Victorian house. Inside is decorated the same. The menu was full of every type of food you could imagine. My sister I think got pan-fried collards. We all chose similar excellent dishes. We stayed quite a while but were never rushed to leave so they could clean and get another group going. We did soon leave as we had a 100 mile drive. This place is a winner. read more

Ordered the soup of the day, potato, broccoli and cheese to go. Got potato soup with one piece of raw broccoli and a smidgeon of cheese. Potato soup was good, but disappointed. read more

So good and fresh! Favorite is chicken salad for lunch and They also have great dinner options

We have tried many different entrees over the last couple years and we have enjoyed them all. Our kids really like this place and the adult beverages are great too! read more

I had a job site in Summerville and was craving some soup. I usually like to go to local places because you know we gotta support our community. I just wanted a small soup and coffee. Usually most services don't wanna take this type of orders in person and make you do it online but the service on this restaurant was exceptional! I wish I remembered the name of the bartender but she was quick and nice! Definitely will come for a full breakfast at some point since the ambiance was nice. Once I got in my car and tried the tomato and crab meat soup I was delighted. It was unequivocally bussing! At a good price too! If you ever on the area please visit this place! read more

Came here with my family for the brunch. There was a wait but you could check in on yelp. The wait wasn't bad and tables moved quick. We ordered the waffles and eggs Benedict. I am not a huge eggs Benedict face but this was tasty and the waffles with the cinnamon butter were amazing. Love love them I wanted to try there soups because the reviews but they didn't have one to my liking. This just means I have to come back. read more

Norin was very attentive with timing and making sure our food came out in a timely manner . I order the smoked salmon salad it was my first time having salmon smoked it was so good . One of my friends order the pan fried flounder it was good as well topped off with some sort of red rice if I'm correct .

Farm to table with rotating specials... yes, please!!! Great food, service, & atmosphere!

The food is always tasty and fresh! Never have to worry about having a a bad meal, it's not possible!

Cozy atmosphere, with a good range of options. We went in for lunch and it wasn't very busy on a Friday afternoon. My mother tried the chicken Cobb salad and their potato cheddar broccoli soup, both of which she was satisfied with. I got the Rueben and quite enjoyed it. All felt very fresh. We were feeling something sweet would close out the meal well and they had chocolate chip cookies, of which they warmed up and were extremely delightful. Overall I would come here again for something guaranteed fresh with a great atmosphere. Be careful with parking. Because it's all gravel. There's currently a huge hole in the parking lot that may be trouble if not repaired!! read more

The noise suppression is horrible. You can't hear yourself think. I think they have substitute chefs who don't know what they're doing. I had a salad, and it was 100% arugula. I had a sandwich too and the lettuce was entirely arugula. I opened the sandwich and the arugula sprang from it like a jack-in-the-box. Between that and the noise, I chose to never go back again. read more

Gluten Free to the 9th degree!!! This place has A great atmosphere. I've had almost everything on the menu lately we've been having the catch of the day along with their Arugula Salad and this is our favorite place to eat in Summeville read more

Delicious food. Loved the spicy salmon. The tomato tarragon soup was tasty also. The coconut cake is a nice ending.

We decided to give this place a try after Church. Cute little place that is bigger then you think. We were able to walk in and get a table. I love the blue chairs and the tables with benches. We all enjoyed our food and almost all cleared our plates. I definitely enjoyed the chicken and waffles with the nice spiced butter, I hardly used any of the pecan syrup. The chicken was a nice blend though it was a tad dry. Nice portion of chicken which I shared with my daughter who ate a cup of the soap of the day...potato cheddar broccoli and the cleaned them bowl. My other daughter is vegetarian so had several choices from her to chose from and she got the veggie Benedict. My husband ordered the chicken salad club which came out huge!! All the food was good, the staff was nice and the place was clean. Stop by for some good healthy food!! read more

We got here at 11am for lunch even though we thought we were doing brunch, they had literally just opened! It's a cute little house that you can eat in different rooms. The patio was cute but it was too hot outside for that. We sat by a fake fireplace. The hostess and servers were very nice and attentive. By the way, no brunch on weekdays! Now we know. They offer half sandwiches so you can get a soup or salad if you want too, that's great. I got their Mexican chicken chili, so freaking tasty and fresh!! Very good. Possibly my fav thing I've had here. I also got the harissa chicken sandwich which was on their specials for that particular day. The bread gets soggy quick because the chicken is fresh and hot, but the sandwich was still yummy and flavorful. There wasn't exactly a "fancy" grilled cheese on the menu but my mom ordered one with a cheese combo, tomato and bacon. She gets grilled cheeses everywhere we go. We both thought our food was good. Prices comparable to Panera bread, so I'd rather eat the fresh food here. There's also a cute little bar you can sit at. I also saw people ordering yummy desserts. I wish I had saved room. There's a parking lot, love. We would return, I hope to try the breakfast some day. read more

Idk what the problem was but the one in Mt. Pleasant was pure trash. I love the coconut hot pot but it tasted thrown together and overcrowded the other night (8/1/23) like someone tried to stretch it with water. It was so nasty I couldn't even eat it. My first time having it was a few weeks ago at the one in Summerville and it was literally to die for! I couldn't stop eating it. It was sweet but also savory with a little heat. If I go back, I'm only visiting the one in Summerville. Oh and put a little salt in the mashed potatoes. They were good but needed a little salt. read more
