Word on the street
What locals are saying
Five Loaves Cafe is a well-established Mt. Pleasant lunch spot with 20+ years as a Charleston-area staple, earning consistent praise for its creative soups (especially the tomato tarragon crab), hearty sandwiches, and generous portions. The TripAdvisor rating sits at 4.5/5 across 400+ reviews and regulars cite it as one of the best lunch options in the area, though isolated complaints touch on inconsistent food quality, hygiene observations, and portion sizes feeling small for the price at dinner. Vegans and strict plant-based diners have flagged that the 'vegan-friendly' branding overpromises.
