Our Story

A little corner of Paris on the shores of Prior Lake

We started LoadTest Cold Brew 19 with a simple obsession: to bring the meticulous, slow-paced charm of a Parisian boutique café to our Minnesota neighborhood. Our signature cold brew is steeped patiently for nineteen hours, extracting a smooth, velvety profile that completely redefines what iced coffee can be.

Step inside and you'll find a space designed for lingering. From the rich aroma of locally roasted espresso to the daily delivery of golden, shatteringly crisp croissants, we believe the morning ritual shouldn't be rushed. It's a daily celebration of craft, community, and exceptional coffee.
