Our Story

Bringing the charm of Parisian cafés to Prior Lake

We started LoadTest Cold Brew 13 with a simple belief: coffee shouldn't be rushed. Inspired by the slow-paced, elegant cafés of Paris, we wanted to create a neighborhood sanctuary in Prior Lake where every cup is an invitation to pause and savor.

Our signature cold brew is steeped for exactly twelve hours using beans sourced from local Minnesota roasters. Paired with flaky, butter-laminated pastries baked fresh daily, it's a sensory ritual designed to elevate your everyday routine.
