Our Story

A little corner of Paris on the banks of Prior Lake

We wanted to build a space where time slows down. Inspired by the quiet morning charm of Parisian cafés, LoadTest Cold Brew 0 brings a meticulous, craft-focused approach to specialty coffee in Minnesota. Every bean is sourced from dedicated local roasters, and our signature cold brew is steeped with patience—eighteen hours of slow extraction for a taste that is incredibly smooth and naturally sweet.

Whether you are stopping by for your morning takeaway croissant, pulling up a chair to watch the steam rise from your cappuccino, or grabbing a bag of whole beans for the weekend, you are part of our neighborhood ritual. We believe coffee is more than a quick caffeine fix; it is a moment of daily poetry.

Loved by the community

  • "The cold brew here is unbelievably smooth. No bitterness at all, and the vanilla cold foam tastes like actual sweet cream, not artificial syrup."

  • "Finding a croissant this flaky outside of Europe is rare. I grab a butter croissant and a flat white every Saturday morning."

  • "Their Ethiopia Yirgacheffe beans completely changed my home brewing game. You can tell they care deeply about origin and roast profiles."
