Good food and great service! It is a very pleasant atmosphere! The shrimp and grits are fabulous. I can't complain about the delicious dessert selection either. read more

Came in on a Monday 1pm and sat at the bar instead of waiting 30 mins for a table. I had the arugula salad and the crab meat tomato soup. Salad was great, especially the dressing. I didn't like the soup, it was too sweet. My friend had the other tomato soup and it was really good. The chocolate cake was an obvious choice to go with an espresso martini. Both were good! Service was just okay. The bartender is the type that made us feel like we were inconveniencing her, perhaps she was having a tough day. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, altogether everything was just okay and there's a lot of awesome restaurants in this city to go to instead! read more

This Five Loaves isn't nearly as good as the one in Mt. Pleasant. We've been 3 times, and I have yet to get a good meal. I won't try it a 4th time. read more

They removed the Portable ramp at the front door entrance so wheelchair riders aren't welcome. The small porch entrance Is too narrow to maneuver. Very disappointed. read more

Whenever going into five loaves and dining, the food is always great and so is the service. This time I decided to order out and was very disappointed. The order was incorrect and also the salad was very watery. I must say when I went back to return it they were very nice and remade my sandwich. read more

First time here, going on recommendations on Yelp I gave it a try. Food was excellent and not over priced, great atmosphere and beer selection. Sara the bartender provided excellent service, recommendations and conversation. Highly recommend next time you are in the area. read more

Great spot for a nice, healthy, hearty meal. Excellent service and the restaurant has a lovely vibe. They have plenty of gluten free options and are careful about my shellfish allergy. Their Mexican chicken chili and broccoli cheddar soup are 10/10!!!! read more

We first went to 5 Loaves last year whike traveling. As it turns out we moved nearby as we loved the atmosphere. We were early and they accomodated us. Service was great, food was wonderful. We'll be back again. It was our second time. Looking forward to the third! read more

Amazing food and beautiful restaurant for a laid back evening or a dress up brunch. I love the chicken with prosciutto and mashed potatoes... AMAZING. Their brunch is top tier along with dinner. Fairly priced for good quality food. Both locations are great!! (Charleston/Summerville) read more

We were so excited to try Five Loaves Cafe as we are new to the area and have heard good things. We went about 2:00 on a Saturday and unfortunately they only had a brunch menu, which we did not expect on a Saturday. Since it was later in the day and we had already had breakfast, we did not want that again. There were a couple of sandwich and salad options but not really many choices. My husband got the Ham & Brie sandwich on sourdough and I got the Cobb Salad. The bread on the sandwich was very dry and tasteless. My husband is not a picky eater but did not enjoy the sandwich at all. I ordered the salad due to lack of other options, thinking I could not go wrong with a salad. There was very little chicken on the salad and it was nothing special. Neither of us ate much of our meals and were disappointed. The place was cute, the service was good however the metal chairs were pretty uncomfortable. Kudos for the gluten free options on the menu. We really wanted to love it but sadly, I don't think we will return. read more

I dropped in to try the place because my usual place on 3rd was closed. I wanted to get a bit of work done with my computer but found out that they don't have WiFi. I'm glad I found out before I ordered. I'm sorry but I cannot tell you more about service, food, etc. read more

Anytime someone asks me where I want to go for lunch. I say five loaves. If someone asks me where I want to go for dinner. I say five loaves. There is NOTHING wrong with their menu. Everything is delicious. They make all their soups and salad dressings. Everything is fresh and absolutely delicious. Both locations are quaint and beautiful. Clean and friendly staff. I have NOTHING but amazing things to say about this place. If you're looking for a spot to go, you NEED five loaves. You won't be disappointed read more

I absolutely loved everything about Five Loaves!!!! From the cute ambience of downtown Summerville, to the cute eclectic coziness of the restaurant, and the great customer service that they offered with divine food! We chose to dine on the patio because the sun was just beautiful. The crabcake Benedict was one of the best crabcakes I've ever had. The sweet potato black bean enchiladas were exploding with flavor!!!! I will definitely be back!!! read more

Went on a limb to try this place last night because of the glorious reviews posted and to no surprise my food was awful. Another crappy Summerville restaurant with incompetent cooks I ordered a Marsala and got raw chicken it was sent back to the kitchen immediately! If you want to have a long prosperous & productive life don't eat here. read more

Such a cool place and the sandwiches were delicious! We took it to go but definitely want to return to eat in the building!

Stopped for lunch and sat at the bar. Got half curried chicken salad sandwich and the soup sampler. The sampler has 3 soups. I chose the potato soup, curried chickpea & kale and tomato tarragon w/crabmeat. The soups were luke warm at best. The sandwich was great! I'd definitely go back! read more

I can't believe I haven't written my two cents (5 loaves) about this cafe! I've been several times and each visit is better than the last! Karen took good care of my friend and I one weekend, she made sure our cups were full, offered suggestions, praises for my cocktail choice hehe the food is fresh and what's not to smile about over breakfast foods!? They have a bar area to which you can enjoy a drink whilst waiting for a table or feel free to enjoy the porch area. A Summerville classic. Major win for enjoying a meal in an old style home. read more

Another reason I love Yelp! Found this little restaurant when visiting Charleston. From service to food it did not disappoint.

Tried to eat here based on my daughter's glowing recommendation. Stopped through while traveling and staying nearby. Had our dog with us. Got an outside table around 7:15p on Wednesday, only one other couple outside. Hostess greeted us promptly and made the table ready. Well, that was the last we spoke to anyone! Saw a waitress twice come out to give the check and complete the payment with the one other couple outside. She never acknowledged us in any way. No "be right over", not a word. So after 25 minutes of entertaining the dog we decided this wouldn't work for us! Hate to be that Ken, but with 4.5 stars, restaurant's need to do better than whatever this experience was... smh read more

Okay y'all, Nothing excites me more than food, especially if it's healthier, organic, and fresh but when you also add in a ton of options this just adds to the ball of excitement!! I've been here once before (it's not close to us) with a big family and I remember having a sandwich and it was spectacular but I haven't had a chance to get back nor did I write a review. Anyways, I had friend from out of town and we went paddle boarding on Shem and I decided on this place as we were heading to Trader Joe's to grab a few items... I was so excited to see that you could mix/match almost everything on the menu and some even the size(s) to suite your need(s) and/or appetite! I was really feeling salad as I had a heavier breakfast, and was just out in the sun, but had also worked up and appetite. I thought it was so cool, I could have two half salads to make up one, and then I added protein to one and boom!!! A full meal! I ordered the half Eggplant Fritters salad - Artisan Greens, grilled asparagus & goat cheese And half Arugula Salad - Goat cheese, roasted beats, candied walnuts & carrots but added the North Atlantic Salmon on top! OMG both were sooooo delicious! I also loved the fact that you could order different dressings. I tried the sweet basil and honey and the bacon mustard vinaigrette and just dabbed them on as needed. Yum, yum, yum!!! I can't wait to come back and mix up some more options. :) read more

My family came in about 15 minutes until closing, and the staff was so friendly and welcomed us right inside. We were given ample time to order and no one made us feel rushed. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was warm and charming! Thank you for feeding us so late in the afternoon. :) read more

Such a cute little place us girls found by accident one day while out antiquing. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. We pinned it on our maps to come back soon! read more

Ok, what can I say? This place has been on my list for a while now. Since it was my birthday, what other perfect way to celebrate than with brunch? We all settled on the shrimp and grits. And I'm a sucker for a good shrimp and grits. It was very tasty! I will be returning to explore more of the menu. The service was amazing! From the time we walked in the door to the time we left. Everyone was so friendly and they all had beautiful smiles! I can not remember our waitress's name, but she was a whole vibe! She helped us with our meal and drink selection. We had the pineapple and cranberry mimosas! Lawd, I don't drink much, so all I'm saying is bring a driver because you are going to need one! This place is really cute inside, and they even have a kids menu! They are also wheelchair accessible with a nice sturdy ramp! This is my new favorite place. If you haven't gone yet, please do! read more

Great place for Sunday brunch. Light and healthy food that tastes amazing. The FLC Shakshuka was amazing, soooooo good, get it! The tofu scramble was ok, but I won't count it against them because it's kinda hard to cook vegan food. The country skillet is what you'd expect, good but not amazing. I've tried several other things on the menu and I'm rarely disappointed. read more

Five Loaves came highly recommended so we decided to have lunch and do some antique shopping afterward. For lunch today, it was my sister, mom and me. My niece and her girlfriend were going to meet us but they were downtown making candles and wouldn't be back in time since the restaurant closes at 3. When we arrived we were greeted and sat immediately. This is such a cute restaurant, which used to be a house so has lots of little rooms for seating. We were at a four top near the entrance in the same room as the bar. Good people watching! Our server greeted us and took drink orders about 5 minutes after we sat down. Water for everyone and a spicy Bloody Mary for me. Yum! There was a chipotle spiciness that made the Bloody Mary unique and it was beautifully garnished. For our meal, my mom got half a chicken salad croissant with potato and cheddar soup, my sister got half a ham and Brie on baguette with potato soup and I got the chicken cobb salad with a cup of the tomato tarragon with crab. To sum it up, everything was okay but not remarkable. Even the berry mascarpone lemon cake we got for dessert was good but nothing special. I was looking at the pictures online and was thinking maybe dinner is a better bet? Not sure. I do think this would be a great place to hang out in the summer on the porch and enjoy a few beverages. It's really a cute place. read more

Went for dinner with a girlfriend and we were immediately greeted by the hostess who was so sweet. We started with the Brussels and gnocchi appetizers which were phenomenal. The waitress was so sweet, kind, patient and helpful. She advised us that we could pick a salad (so many amazing choices) and a choice of protein and kind of "build our own". We chose a salad with tortellini on it, added salmon... and now I dream of that salad. Absolutely recommend and can't wait to try other menu items read more

Brunch was amazing! The mimosas were awesome! Great environment too. I will definitely be going back here.

Atmosphere 10/10 Sweet tea off the charts Steak and egg cooked perfectly! Kid friendly(at least it was outside) And by kid friendly I mean he had room to walk around the table and could look around without being in anyone's way Our waitress was amazing with quick service and answering any questions we had Overall a very pretty location with great service and time read more

The service was excellent. Our waitress Karen was attentive and very kind. The restaurant looks like a house and definitely has a homey feel to it. The food was delicious. I had the chicken salad on a croissant and it was huge! It was enough for two people. And it's better than your average chicken salad that's for sure. My husband had the tomato with crab soup and the Reuben sandwich. He had high praises! The sweet tea was delicious too- truly addictive that I drank three glasses and had one to go!! This was a great lunch option! We will definitely be back again! read more

Great place, very Friendly staff and great food! Delilah was our waitress and made us feel welcomed.

Just go. You'll be glad you did! As soon as we walked in we could tell we chose wisely: we observed great service, a homey environment, and tables full of happy diners enjoying delectable looking dishes. That was before we even ordered! Our food was uniquely prepared, delicious, fresh - we decided it was the best meal in our entire trip to Summerville. We'll look forward to returning. read more

Five Loaves Cafe is a healthier more sustainable local restaurant and I love it. It's in a cool location. It's in the mix of residential homes and offices. It feels like you are going to your aunt or grandma's house in the south for an afternoon meal. Staff was very nice and the food taste clean with fresh ingredients. Not a lot of artificial ingredients or preservatives, definitely a HUGE plus. They can get pretty crowded but they move fast, so you should be good to. Want a healthy alternative then this place will hit the spot. read more

I was there Tuesday the 7 th and it is still a good place to eat, but they still have failed as they did over two years ago. The wife and a friend had the Shrimp Gnocchi which claimed golden raisins and fried onions Well once again they failed on those last two items . We brought it to the attention of our server as well as the manager and they got it taken care by getting some from the kitchen. This same thing had happened two years ago, so when these ladies ordered they told Emily to be sure and have raisins and onions????? I should have known it would go this way when the ladies asked to sit anyplace but the porch, and where did the hostess try to sit us?; you guess? She had to be in her 20's and we are in our 80's and I specifically heard them?? One other item I was very disappointed in was my order of mussels. They were so small you could hardly find them, rather than making up for it by giving more, it seemed the chef thought less is better. Ok, that's enough but it is an effort to educate you the pubic, not the management as they are set in their ways. read more

Cute little restaurant with great food. Friendly service. I love to stop in here for an easy, delicious meal. Highly recommend

My first visit to Five Loaves, I decided to try a salad. I ordered the half portion of the Arugula Salad. It comes with beets, candied walnuts carrots and goat cheese. The salad was pretty good, I loved the candied walnuts and the arugula and veggies were very fresh however I expected roasted slices of beets but ended up with little mini cubes of beets that didn't taste earthy or roasted like I'd hoped for or had in other beet salads locally. The service was super fast, my order was ready in less than 5 minutes, the customer service was quick and efficient but I felt the portion size of the salad was a little small, even for a half salad. They have indoor and out door seating and both areas appeared clean. I'd return to try another menu item in the future. read more

Still one of my FAVORITE restaurants but 4 stars because of the chicken salad ): it was tasty but SO RUNNY like mush. Couldn't eat it as a sandwich because it just slopped out of the bread every time I tried to pick it up. My soup was also splashed during transport which is fine but made the bread even more soggy aside from the chicken salad. If you want a good espresso martini, five loaves is the place to go!! Still one of the only ones in town I like. The sunroom is the perfect seating area. Feels very open without getting the bugs. Our server was excellent and speedy. I love love love five loaves and will be back! read more

We sat outside on the porch and it was the perfect spot on a beautiful spring day to enjoy lunch. We tried the special which had a spicy harissa sauce and it was amazing!!! Love that every one of their sandwich options offers the different types of breads from banquettes to croissants and more. We really enjoyed our drink and inside there is a cute little bar which would be a great place to sit for apps and a drink. read more
