Five Loaves Bakery & Cafe - Jasper, Alabama

Strange experience. Being waited on in a cafeteria atmosphere. Menu seemed ambitious, giving off Panera soup & sandwich vibes, but reality fell short a bit--although service solid. At $19 for a sandwich, soup (upgraded to a bowl), tea, and piece of cake prices are fair--really just $5 more than fast food. Plating could be better: ie..a grilled cheese needs to be served cut in 1/2 and w/ a pickle; an actual soup spoon (vs a spoon spoon) would be nice, and maybe garnish cake. Small stuff, but still. Server attentive, friendly, and confident. Not in a rush to return, but could be a good rainy day catch up session spot!

As a local Realtor, I'm always looking for new places to eat with my clients. Met one of my friends here for lunch last week and it was so good! The grilled chicken and sweet potato fries were delicious. Service was excellent too! Will be visiting again. 🙂

Went to lunch with my mom & her friends, it was wonderful! Very sweet staff, great variety of meals to choose from at good prices. Highly recommend if you are in downtown Jasper.

This is a great spot for some great food. It was my first time to try it. I recently moved back to my hometown. I have been meaning to get by there. So, today was the day.

I actually know the owner, Kelly, and her family. My parents grew up around them. So, I’m really glad that I’m able to write a good review. But, don’t let my knowing them be deterrence. I try to be very honest in these reviews.

I had the chicken dressing for my main entrée. Chicken dressing is a very southern dish. I’ve lived in about eight states, many of those outside the south. Most people for Thanksgiving will do a type of stuffing. I can’t stand stuffing since I’m very used to having chicken dressing. It’s a dish that has , gotten popular year-round. It was delicious. I was

I also had fried okra and deviled eggs. Both the sides were very tasty. I’m a sucker for fried okra. And I also enjoyed the deviled eggs. I look forward to trying more dishes when I go back, which I certainly will.

I also tried the spring rolls. They had kimchi in them. I actually make my own kimchi, for a minute for about four days. I really like the kimchi in these spring rolls. It added a unique flavor which you don’t always get other places.

It’s definitely a great spot to check out. It’s actually what used to be the Beville state cafeteria I believe. Again, haven’t been back in this area for a long time.

Worth the effort to hunt down this hometown classic. Daily specials and a changing menu based on the season. Shrimp and Grits are wonderful!!! NO longer open for brunch on Saturdays.

I attended an event this weekend that was catered by Five Loaves. I feel i must write a review of the outstanding hors d’oeuvres offered . Such unusual flavor combinations, textures, and quality ingredients left me desiring more. I am in the Events Industry and have dined at some of the best bistros in New York, Washington DC, and New Orleans and I find their masterful menu is comparable to any Michelin Star restaurant in these cities. One day i must travel back to Jasper and shake the hand of their Master Chef, to implore them to open in Birmingham, if not New York. Who would have thought the unassuming little city of Jasper Alabama hosting a bistro of this caliber?!

We absolutely loved eating lunch here. All food, soups, sauces and dressings tasted like it was just made in house. Tastes were unique and special.
