We wanted to get off the beaten tourist trail and decided to give this restaurant a try after reading about it here on Trip Advisor. Really glad we did. Patrons seem to be groups of students and students with their parents... not many tourists. The soup menu was extensive and the two we ordered were quite good. We both enjoyed... more

We also went to the cafe based on reviews on trip advisor. We had a party of 15 . The person in the front said they had a large table in the back and the wait would be about 30 minutes. She came out later and said about 40 minutes. You have to wait outside due to the cafe being... more

We dined at Five Loaves on our first evening in Charleston. We seemed to be the only tourists in the place which was a good sign and were warmly welcomed by the wait staff. We are vegetarians so there were many options to choose from. There is a large community table which was quickly taken by a group of CofC... more

I'm a tourist in town and ate here for the first time tonight. The place was very full even though it was 7:30 pm on a very rainy Tues night. It is definitely off the main tourist track but is a doable walk from the historical area (though I would recommend driving at night). Lively but relaxed atmosphere; the space... more

We had such a nice time at Five Loaves. The soup sampler was such fun, all were Yummy. The crab bisque was super. The sandwiches fresh and huge! The waitress very friendly and helpful. We had 7 very picky people in our family and we all can't wait to go back! more
