Our Story

Bringing the charm of a Parisian morning to Prior Lake

We started LoadTest Cold Brew 0 with a simple belief: coffee shouldn't just be a quick caffeine fix. It should be a pause in your day, a moment of quiet indulgence. Inspired by the romantic sidewalk cafés of Paris and fueled by the exceptional roasters of Minnesota, we created a space where slow-steeped cold brew and artisan pastries meet warm Midwestern hospitality.

Every morning, our team bakes our croissants to golden perfection and calibrates our espresso machines. We source our beans from local roasters who share our commitment to ethical sourcing and exceptional quality. Whether you are grabbing a quick takeaway bag of beans or lingering over a lavender latte, you are part of our neighborhood story.
