5 Corners Cafe owner Veronica Hashey and her brother Frank Hashey prepare and serve an innovative menu at the cozy sandwich shop tucked into a busy intersection on Charleston's West Side.

Veronica Hashey creates daily specials, including this turkey cranberry croissant. It's so popular that she's adding it to the regular menu.

A dinner entree is added to the menu on Wednesday to Friday, when 5 Corners Cafe stays open longer. Beef stroganoff made with rib eye steak was the special last Thursday, served with salad and a homemade yeast roll. Clifton Crow makes all the desserts, including lemon meringue pie.
