Living in Moncks Corner, your brunch options are limited. But I will take a 20-minute ride for five loaves. The ambiance is incredible and has a tremendous Southern charm feel. If you go on the weekends, you will probably be on a waitlist, but no worries, it's pretty quick. We ordered biscuits and gravy, pancakes, and a drink called The Carter, which was delicious. Mimosa's were hitting, and everything was reasonably priced--head on over when in Moncks Corner, Goose Creek, Ladson, and Summerville. read more

This is one of the cutest places I've eaten at. It does get busy so try and get there early or After the general rush. We were seated by the window looking out to the patio. Waitress was nice and the sweet tea was good. The food was good and still warm once it was brought out. If you haven't been here, give it a try! read more

I took a picture, but honestly, it doesn't do it justice, so I'll spare you. I ordered the shrimp and grits on Sunday as a takeout for our drive back to North Carolina. Yall. These shrimp and grits are to die for. They are absolutely divine but not insanely heavy. The portion was perfect for lunch, and I had a little bit of leftovers. I bet I could have eaten 12 portions! I can't speak of service or ambiance, but based on the shrimp and grits driving on 26W while dealing with a ten year old with flu B.... it's a complete win. (No, she didn't come in!) Can I come back asap? read more

I met an old friend here for lunch today...and was incredibly impressed by our experience! Restaurant was clean and tables spaced far enough apart for great conversation. Food was delicious: I had a blueberry salad special, with salmon added; my friend had a chicken Cobb salad. Dressings for both salads were incredible! Service was great and prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back! read more

My husband has eaten here one other time and it was fantastic. The food, the service, the ambience. All great. However, we stopped in for lunch the other day and the food and service were not nearly as good as before. Our server was frustrating. She was a bit slow and rarely checked our table throughout our meal. She never offered to refill our drinks. I ordered the Hot Ham and Brie Sandwich. What I received was sliced of ham rolled around a slice of Brie that was cooked and placed on a bed of very wet red cabbage slaw on sour dough bread. Any chef worth his salt in the kitchen should know better than to put anything wet like that on bread. It was ruined. And the sandwich was not made well. It was like eating a hot dog on white bread. Not an enjoyable experience. Our server could not be found for several minutes after we were served, just to check on everything. I even asked another server to find her for me.I finally gave up on waiting and enjoyed some of the bread that wasn't soaked and the grilled ham and Brie. Chef needs to tighten up his or her kitchen. read more

Our server was precious. Food was delicious! So many yummy gluten free options! Even dessert was gluten free. My favorite place!

Five Loaves Cafe is a gourmet restaurant that opened in Charleston, South Carolina in 2003. It was founded by business partners Joe Fischbein and Chef Casey Glowacki. Their concept was to bring the quintessential soup and sandwich to Charleston while using gourmet farm-to-table ingredients and chef skills garnished in culinary school. The business soon took off and dinner items were later added to the menu. A second location opened in Mount Pleasant in 2005 and a third opened in Summerville in 2015. The original downtown Charleston location closed in 2020 after their lease expired. Fischbein and Glowacki are also the owners of Sesame: a burger and beer bar with locations in North Charleston and Mount Pleasant. My family and I recently visited Five Loaves Cafe's Summerville location while we were on an East Coast Road Trip. We were visiting our cousins who live in Summerville. They brought us there for a delicious Sunday Brunch. Upon stepping inside, we immediately loved the vibe of the whole place. After looking over the drinks menu, we decided to order some pitchers of Mimosas for the table: Pineapple and Prickly Pear. Both Mimosa varieties were delicious! My cousin and I both ordered the "Southern Benny" (crab cake, fried green tomato, pimiento cheese, english muffin, old bay hollandaise, poached eggs, home fries), my other cousin ordered the "Steak & Eggs" (marinated flank steak, demi glaze, roasted tomatoes, fried eggs, grilled asparagus, fruit cup), my wife had the "Huevos Rancheros" (crisp tortilla, fried eggs, fire roasted tomato salsa, cheese sauce, avocado, black beans), and our son had Waffles with Chocolate Chips, Maple Syrup, and Bacon off of the Kid's Menu. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. You can easily tell that everything was prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This was a brunch to remember! read more

I was searching for some where quiet and lowkey for a good meal. I am so glad remembered Five Loaves! Sat down at the bar, the restaurant seemed prett busy. I wanted something light to drink so I went with a mixed Cocktail called Garden to glass. Beautiful drink. Very light, and flavorful. light elder flower and basil come through, I really enjoyed it. unfortunately I came in a little later in the evening and the dinner specials were no longer available. So I had a bowl of the tomato basil and parmesan soup. Honestly, I have been craving it and it Was delicious. I also ordered a brownie to go, it was still nice and warm by the time I got home. Very Chocolaty. the awesome gooey chocolatey type of brownie. Absolutely recommend. read more

Have only eaten here twice. Both times I have had my card information stollen and had to contact my bank to dispute charges and have my card shut off. For anyone that has experienced this, you know what a pain it is to be with out a card until you get a replacement. Then having to re-establish all your auto pay accounts and bill pay for your new card. If you chose to eat here, only use cash. The food was good, but not worth what I'm dealing with now. read more

Won't be back. Ordered a full size salmon Caesar to go, of course i get back to work 15 mins away to find no dressing and no utensils. Drive 15 mins back where the bartender hands me a Tiny half filled cup of Caesar dressing. I told her that's tiny compared to the size of the $23 dollar salad and she CHARGED ME .60 for another tablespoon of dressing. Of course the 7 foot tall manager was nowhere around... it's cool five loaves keep that .60 you obviously need it and 45 minutes of my day I'll never get back. read more

Fantastic place to go for a light yet fulfilling lunch/brunch. Must try - Soup Sampler Absolutely loved it. Cheese graters for light fittings to the wood and warmth in the heart and the pallet. Everything about Five Loaves is perfect and personal. The salads ('Ruffage'), choices for dressing and the sandwiches ('Between the bread') are all great. I tried the Spinach salad and the Soup Sampler 3 Pour. read more

Everything was wonderful from the food to the service. It's a very comfortable space as well.

Their brunch shrimp and grits is the best shrimp and grits I've had in the 5 years I've been in South Carolina. I don't even look at the menu anymore and just order that when we go. It's that good. Service is always friendly and good. I also really enjoy the quaint feel of the house they remodeled into the restaurant. It's always clean and well lit. read more

Incredible place. The staff is top notch! I had the absolute best mushroom burger I've ever tasted. I'm 100% coming back next time I'm in town read more

Just arrived in Charleston the night before and was looking for a quick place to grab some brunch. This one popped up nearby and we were able to sit right at the bar. Place was rustic, cozy and offered outdoor seating, but this time of the year it's way to hot. Our bartender Ashley greeted us quickly and answered any questions we had. She was also training someone new but was still attentive towards us. My husband and I both built our own little breakfast with the side options and I ordered the cucumber lemon cocktail. It was So refreshing with the muddled cucumbers and fresh lemon juice and Tito's. Let me tell you, the sausage was the best thing on that plate. The sourdough bread was toasted well, I love a good sautéed potatoes with fresh herbs as well. Everything went very well together. I made a special request for their house made red salsa and it was a great compliment to my food with a nice kick. Everything tasted fresh and came out in a timely manner. She even told us about the farmers market down the street which we're looking forward to checking out next weekend. We'll definitely be back! read more

One of my daughter's and my favorite places to eat in Summerville. We are obsessed with the chicken caesar salad. The caesar dressing is the best we ever had. They make it in-house. We also have tried the turkey on sourdough sandwiches. Great atmosphere, service and food!! A Summerville gem!! read more

Great, charming place - but unlike a lot of charming places, it has wonderful food! And a nice wine list. Service was excellent - warm but efficient and knowledgeable. I was here for lunch and we had, between us, soups, salads and a roast beef sandwich. So we sampled. Crab cake salad was excellent, and the dressings were unusual and real enhancements. One of our group had been here for dinner - different menu - and said that it's a more substantial menu and also excellent. Very nice little bar with some creative cocktails! read more

Breakfast, lunch, brunch, or dinner, doesn't matter what time of day you come here there's always delicious food here. We are hardly ever disappointed by this place. My favorite lunch and dinner is the FLC Caesar with salmon cooked well done with a sweet tea. My husband usually gets their chicken parm and it's so good. Their noodles are fresh, the sauce is light, and they give you plenty of chicken. For brunch, you cannot go wrong with their mimosa carafe. The pineapple is my favorite! We come here all the time for good quality food. read more

I have eaten here 4x in a row when I was visiting my sister in NC. That should tell you something about the service and the beautiful cafe that Five Loaves has curated. read more

I am a big fan of the Mt. P location and recently had the opportunity to enjoy the Summerville spot, too. We had a group of 15+, so we called a few days ahead and were told that they would be happy to accommodate us even though they don't usually take reservations. We were given a (mostly) quiet corner on the side porch, which was perfect for us. We only had one server and I felt bad as she was probably stretched pretty thin, but she rocked her job. While I got to taste many of the menu offerings, I was really happy with my chicken&waffles. It was enough for two meals (although my dog helped herself to the butter!!). The homefries were not my favorite - I prefer them super crispy -- but at least they were warm and fresh. I had initially ordered a mimosa, not knowing a carafe was an option. When I asked if I could "add" my glass to the carafe, I was surprised to see I was ultimately charged for both -- I explained when I ordered that I would have gotten the carafe if the waitress had told me it was an option, but honestly we drank everything between the group and I had no problem paying for something so yummy. I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding on my part and there are certainly no hard feelings -- just wish she had said "Did you want a glass or a carafe?". Anyway! This place reeks of charm, just like the other spots, and has a gigantic parking lot to boot. It's worth the hike up 26. read more

A favorite place when I visit friends in N. Charleston. I have to eat here at least twice. Friendly staff, fresh and delicious food with vegetarian options that are unique and satisfying. Today I had the arugula salad with beets and goat cheese and a perfect basil dressing. Yum! Friends had salads and soups and were equally happy. read more

Really good food, really good service. Wait times aren't bad at all. Just make sure you know ahead of time that a meal here should be considered a light meal (in my opinion). Soups and sandwiches. Go here. You'll like it! read more

Wonderfully fresh food in an intimate house setting. Great for brunch and romantic dinners. Go check it out! What I ordered: - Chicken Feta Oregano Burger - Tomato Tarragon with Crab Meat Overall: The food was great. Fresh, new, and fun, but the flavors of both items seemed to be missing something. The taste of the soup was definitely fresh. It's obvious this restaurant takes pride in providing fresh, great tasting experiences to their patrons, but it didn't have much else. With the crab meat, it was just a simple tomato base soup. Not bad, just regular. The sandwich was also crazy fresh tasting. The lettuce, tomato, chicken, feta, etc all blended together in between a baguette (you get to pick your bread). Similar to the Tarragon, it was a solid sandwich, but seemed like it was missing something. It lacked flavor in the form of a sauce since the bread was a little dryer than I expected it to be. I hear the brunch is fantastic so I plan to come back again. Especially since it looks like there are different chefs that prepare foods and they also change the specials what seems like daily. Cheers to another good restaurant. read more

I love love love this place. The gluten free options and healthy options can't be beat, especially in the Charleston area.

Good food & drinks. We happened to go on fathers day which also fell on Juneteenth this year. We had a 20 min wait for a table but it went by quickly. We sat at the bar and only had 1 drink before our table was ready. Nice atmosphere. Only one multisex bathroom though which sucks. Indoor & outdoor dining options. read more

I wanted an Italian dish and I have to tell you it was the worst chicken Parm that I ever ate. The sauce was so watery that if I close my eyes, I couldn't even tell I was eating anything sauce related. The chicken didn't even taste like chicken Parm. It was totally disgusting.. says a lot about a restaurant that throws dishes out like this to their customers it makes me wonder if they're tasting their own dishes read more

Love this place! So cute and clean. Great yummy salads and soups. Good flavor, good portions. I ate there around 3 in the afternoon. Had the place to myself. FYI, if you want the soup specials they stop serving some of them at 3 or have run out. Other than that. Awesome all around read more

So good! Found this place on Yelp and it was a great place to eat. The food was really good we all enjoyed our meals except my father he had the Ruben wasn't a big fan it was ehhh but the rest was very delicious. Will be coming back when visiting and I feel like they don't have many places like this in Summerville so you really need to check it out! read more

Salads, sandwiches, and dessert yum! We need a place like this in California!! Everything is fresh, flavourful, and different. Chicken salad sandwich was amazing and the arugula salad was vibrant.

So here's the story: I called the day before to make a large group reservation for 25. They said great, it's done, see ya tomorrow. I walked in 10 min early with some people from my party, and they told me the reservation was cancelled. I ask why. The hostess said it's because they didn't receive a call the day of confirming that it was still on. My bewilderment and increasing number of people in my party walking through the door must've helped her get the hint to go get who I'm assuming was her boss, who walked up to me saying "you're the party of 25? Oh yeah we cancelled that." 1. No name or title given. 2. No apology for the miscommunication. 3. No sense of urgency to find a solution whatsoever. I told him I was never told to call to confirm. Calling to cancel, that's common sense, but any deviation from that norm was not told to me. He said we called you and left you a voicemail. I said I get calls and voicemails all the time from unknown numbers, maybe if I was expecting a call I would've been more keen to answer, and all in all, a large group is on the way whether they like it or not. 4. For that reason, acted like it was my fault and had zero professionalism. My words convinced him to do something and we ended up having our dinner there (had to wait 15 min for our section to get freed up), but then the waitress was slurring her words and seemed intoxicated and it took her WAY too long to run our checks, they blamed the system. All in all, terrible. Like dude, tell me your name, tell me who you are here, and just tell me how you plan on solving this problem. If you are the manager, then MANAGE. read more

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
