Our Story
A little piece of Paris on the shores of Prior Lake.
We started LoadTest Cold Brew 17 with a simple belief: coffee should never be rushed. What began as a personal quest to master the slow, 17-hour cold extraction process quickly grew into a neighborhood gathering space, blending the meticulous craft of specialty coffee with the warm, leisurely elegance of a Parisian boutique.
Every morning, our baristas pull espresso shots with absolute precision while the scent of freshly laminated croissants fills the air. We source our beans transparently from local Midwest roasters who share our commitment to fair-trade practices and exceptional flavor profiles, ensuring every cup tells a story of origin and care.
