Our Story

A corner of Paris tucked into the Midwest

We started LoadTest Cold Brew 0 with a simple belief: coffee shouldn't be rushed. Inspired by the slow-paced, sun-drenched mornings of Parisian boutiques, we set out to create a sanctuary in Prior Lake where neighbors could gather over a truly exceptional cup of coffee.

Our signature cold brew is steeped for a full twenty-four hours, extracting the deep chocolate and fruit notes of our beans without any of the bitterness. We partner with dedicated local roasters who share our commitment to fair trade and seasonal sourcing, ensuring every sip supports a sustainable chain.

What Our Regulars Say

Beloved by the Neighborhood

  • "The cold brew here is unbelievably smooth—no bitterness at all. I grab a Velvet Cream cup every Saturday morning, and it completely ruins other coffee shops for me."
    Clara M.

  • "I bought a bag of the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe on a whim. The blueberry notes are so distinct, it tastes exactly like a high-end pour-over bar in Paris. Incredible roast quality."

  • "Their croissants are so buttery they melt in your mouth. Sitting by the window with a cappuccino feels like a mini-vacation before my workday starts."
