We ventured out in a pretty nasty storm to find dinner. Our original choice was closing when we arrived due to the storm, so we ended up coming to Five Loaves Cafe instead. I'm glad we ended up here! I got the Thai Coconut Hot Pot with tofu and my companion got the Chicken Parmesan. Mine was amazing! On a stormy night, it was the perfect blend of spices and warm creaminess and it was served HOT HOT HOT! I couldn't eat it for a few minutes after it was sat down - I'd rather too hot than too cold. The flavors were amazing and the leftovers I took home were even better in the morning after all the spices had the night to mingle. The Chicken Parmesan admittedly wasn't anything special - the tomato sauce sort of tasted like tomato paste and sauce mixed over a bland bed of noodles. The chicken wasn't bad or good, just sort of meh and the cheese on top was melted but wasn't hot enough to be stringy. I wasn't impressed by this particular dish. The service was kind and welcoming. At one point the lights flickered due to the storm and the staff assured us that even if the lights went out, they would still make sure we got food. I thought that was very considerate. The place had a nice vibe with a bar, so if you wanted to come for a drink I'm sure you could. read more

Went here bc my husband wanted Panera but after seeing the reviews of our local one we realized we'd probably get better food out of a dumpster. To feed his soup craving I suggested 5 Loaves. So happy I did. For the 3 of us we were told a 20-25 minute wait but they sat us in under 15 mins. A couple of booths, some tables, large bar seating and a decent size outside space (more of for fresh air than a view). I ordered the carrot coconut vegan soup (don't let you mouth water bc the soup changes daily so it might not be there when you go). It was very simple but tasty. Tasted like it was just chopped carrots and coconut but I liked it . I paired that with a half salad that I added tofu too. It warmed my heart to see tofu as an option to "add protein". My son got the kids simple PBandJ with a side of fruit (so happy it wasn't the standard kids side of fries). My husband loved his Mexican chili and chicken salad sandwich. Will def be back. Nice to be full from lunch but not bloated and greasy stuffed feeling. Nice place for an afternoon date, meet for a drink, friends get together. read more

My wife and I go to this awesome place a lot and it's about bloody time I leave a review :) Absolutely love Five Loaves. Everything on their menu is incredibly healthy and delicious and love that they change their lunch special menu daily. You will feel healthy eating here. Their drink / cocktail menu is abundant too but best of all is the customer service. We are treated like family every time we go there. 3 Thumbs Up & 5 Stars from us. read more

Promising local cuisine and convenience, this place succeeded at both. It was well-attended by people all across the age range, and I felt a bit silly having taken a table not having quite grasped the seating situation. There were many choices, and I was happy for the option for half portions, allowing me to get their seasonal salad as well as a sandwich based on tofu prepared in olive oil. It's a very Southern way of doing tofu, but it worked, and getting it on a baguette was a good decision. My salad had a hearty mix of chickpeas and almonds and a sharp dressing. There was no half and half special or discount, but I got out of there for a price that wasn't crazy for what I got, which was delicious, quick and easy, and good preparation for an outdoor day. read more

We ate lunch at Five Loaves Cafe after Christmas Eve service earlier today. The atmosphere of this place is so fun, festive, and bright. Made me think of happy thought :) The food choices from the kids meal were good and the kids were happy. We ordered the kids meal tortellini cheese pasta with fruits, bacon and waffle, and cheese quesadilla that also came with fruits. For the adult meals, we ordered biscuit (the bottom of the biscuits were a bit burned which my husband not happy with it but he didn't even complaint and just ate the top part that didn't burnt ) sausage gravy with side of scrambled eggs and I forgot to take the picture! Mine was the tomato Taragon crab soup with half portion of cob salad that was so good! We also ordered the shrimp and grits and it was pretty yummy. It was a good lunch and the service was fast too. read more

*watch the bill as they add a service fee now i think 3 or 3.5%* Wow what happened here? We ordered 3 items 3 people - bbq pork tenderloin (mini meat and no taste), chicken marsala which was big but the spinach watered down the whole dish and the mussels which I was told was huge- it was not. The bread that came with it was a very meh focaccia. The service was anemic - came over with our food not asking if we want anything ( we had tried to find her to ask for another round but when the food came just gave up though she didnt ask anyway) and then one check in when we were eating just asking if all was OK. There was a gentleman who asked us on the way out how everything was ans my husband was polite saying good but I said- not going to lie, it was not good and I don't know what happened but we won't be back. He offered to help which was nice so one point. read more

I have been coming to Five Loaves for years, but our last visit was lackluster. The beautiful salads this restaurant is known for were not on the menu and I didn't recognize most of the other items. Our server was great, but the food was off. I had spiced salmon and the salmon was good, but the pairing with this dish did not match or complement the main. It was basically rice smothered in mushroom soup with a few real mushrooms added. This side was disgusting and I like mushrooms. There was no attempt at presentation and it felt like there was zero passion in the cooking. My husband ordered short ribs and he said it was the worst he's ever had (very bland). This brings me to a point of reflection and a trend I've noticed in a few Charleston-area restaurants: ill-thought changes in menu and lower quality of food are destroying the unique experience and good memories at these establishments. Please bring back the charm and yumminess of the former Five Loaves Cafe. read more

So, I came here specifically because it was a place that was highly recommended for vegan options. When I arrived, there were only two option on the menu, no appetizers and no desserts. A soup that was $18 and a pesto tofu dish that $17. I opted for the tofu. While it was good, it was very flavorless and had a lot of oil and some very mushy rice with breaded tofu and some "pesto" on top. Our server was very clueless as to what was on the menu and had no idea what vegan meant. For the kiddos, it was literally a fruit bowl for dinner that was $3. Overall, I'm glad we opted to go somewhere else for dinner for valentines tomorrow because I would have been super disappointed. I can't say that if I were to come back in town, that I'd come back or even recommend. Thanks for the few options, but no thanks. read more

While my wife really likes the food here, I was disappointed. My reuben was fairly small and just lacked that traditional reuben taste. For $15, only the sandwich was included. Chips were an additional $1.50. It was way overpriced. My blueberry lemon drop cocktail was also disappointing as it lacked the blueberry flavor I was hoping for. The ambiance was ok while the service was great but that's not enough to offset the overpriced, small portioned, so so tasting foods and drinks. read more

Love it here! I came here with my family for brunch a few weeks ago and we loved it. They have an outside area that is covered and heated so it was super comfortable even with it being a little chilly out. It's super cute inside you can tell the decor was really thought out which I love. I'm vegetarian and my in laws are vegan and there were a TON of options for all of us. I got the vanilla cold brew and it was delish. Normally cold brew doesn't have enough flavor for me but this one did. I got the broccoli cheddar soup which was also amazing and a salad which was a great serving size, I even had some to take home. Our server was also super attentive and very sweet. Can't wait to come back! read more

Absolute best sandwiches around! Perfect for a grab and go to the beach or Pitt Street Bridge for a picnic!

Went in to 5 loaves today around 2 pm and sat outside. It wasn't very busy. No one approached us or looked our direction for over 20 minutes watching everyone else being served but us until we went inside and reminded them we were out there. Waitress tried to take out order while standing in side the restaurant insisting she didn't know who our server was and that she would find out. We made her come back to table so we could order like normal customers. She came back took all the orders at once and only came to check on us only when dropping something off. Food was alright, charged for an extra dressing and bread was as soggy as your first ex wife. For the inconvenience she offered us a free cookie which she brought out still wrapped not even warmed or on a plate. Funny thing is I was paying with a gift card from a previous messed up order where we picked up and they forgot to add the extra protein on all of our salads then when they remade the order they somehow did it again. The drinks we got were gross but she didn't ask and at this point we were over it. 71 dollars for a mediocre meal and bad service with a waitress who could care less if we lived or died. Funny after already having to give this place another shot from the previous mishap. Oh, the table next us was being served, got their food and drink before us and left before us as well. Not sure what happened there. read more

Five Loaves Cafe is nothing short of amazing when it comes to menu selection! They have a very wide range of fresh sandwiches, soups, and salads with delicious combinations that make it hard to choose just one. I love the fact that you can order half or whole and create your own "combo" in doing so. Their tomato and fresh mozzarella salad was my absolute favorite. Adding asparagus into their salad gives it something unique and paired with balsamic it was wonderful. Everything else we tried on the menu did not disappoint. It was all amazing and full of flavor. They also have daily soup, salad, and sandwich specials that are featured on a smaller menu. They were very busy during our visit and had many customers come in for takeout and others waiting for tables. It was obvious many people love Five Loaves and I look forward to visiting again! read more

We stumbled upon this little cafe at a point where we were starving, tired and close to our destination but couldn't yet check in. They were busy so usually a good sign. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and potato broccoli cheddar soup. They had a great selection of cocktails also. Everything was delicious! The ambience was adorable. Service could have been a little better. We had children with us and one was a bit whiny so I'm not sure if that was the issue. We seemed to be the only children in the restaurant. Still 5 stars and not enough reason to not return! I'm only dreading I didn't order something to go. =) read more

Here's a cool place in Mount Pleasant if you're looking for something a little bit casual/homey. Stumbled across this popular cafe for a light evening salad. You get a cool/relaxing vibe when you walk in, not that intimidating feeling... know that feel? I placed an order for a gluten free/vegetation arugula salad. On the salad is goat cheese (who doesn't love goat cheese... cept the goat maybe), beets, candied walnuts, and carrots. They've got quite a few choices of dressings. My choice was the balsamic honey. It was a decent size salad, all the toppings were fresh. For me I prefer more than 2 candied walnuts but that's me. The dressing was wonderful. Sit inside or out, I think you'll enjoy this home feeling restaurant. read more

Great little cafe for a quick lunch! The atmosphere is wonderful, everyone is very warm and friendly. I ordered the ham and brie in a croissant as well as the crab tarragon soup. A little disappointed that my sandwich was cold, the name "hot" ham and brie definitely makes me think of hot melted brie and a warm croissant but everything was sort of cool like it had been sitting out. Still delicious though! I'm a huge fan of the jam they use in the sandwich. As far as the soup goes.. it was good but it wasn't hot either. Lol and I'm really not one of those people who like their food super hot. I just don't want my soup cold? If you're in a rush they bring the food out pretty quickly. I was pressed for time and grateful for the attentiveness and how quickly the food came out. read more

Five Loaves Cafe is that place that you visit when you need to have a healthy meal choice, with prompt services, and great ambiance. As always, I try to change what I order, but the "Mexican Chili" and the "Tortellini Caesar salon with Salmon" are the absolute best combo. And their coffee is so good too! The best part of "Five Loaves" is that it has always been a fabulous place to visit. The are consistently the best! read more

I have always loved their lunches! The salads and soups and sandwiches are spectacular. However, tonight we went to dinner there. The shrimp carbonara was mediocre, at best. The Parmesan asparagus was cold. We sat the bar and our bartender could have been nicer and more accommodating. Will stick with lunches there in the future. read more

As a fan of the Five Loaves cafe in downtown Charleston, I ran to the Mount Pleasant location when it closed. The new location has ample seating inside plus a patio tent outside . I usually go for lunch, and my to-go is the three soup sampler (they change all the time but the crab and tarragon is an all time favorite) and a half sandwich. Any sandwich combination is on point, but my favorite bread style is the baguette. The service is always great and the food comes out fast. There is a new charge small recently added for COVID expenses such as PPE for the employees and additional cleaning supplies. read more
