Our Story

Bringing Parisian café culture to the shores of Prior Lake

We started LoadTest Cold Brew with a simple belief: coffee should be a moment of quiet luxury, not a rushed transaction. Inspired by the slow-paced, neighborhood cafés of Paris, we designed a space where you can watch the morning light dance on the water while savoring a perfectly extracted espresso.

Every single bean we grind is sourced from local, independent Midwestern roasters who share our commitment to ethical sourcing and exceptional flavor profiles. Our signature cold brew is steeped slowly in-house, ensuring a velvety finish that is entirely our own.
