Our Story

Bringing the charm of Parisian slow-living to Prior Lake

We started LoadTest Cold Brew 2 with a simple vision: to combine the meticulous craft of Parisian boutique cafés with the warm, welcoming spirit of our Minnesota lakeside community. Every morning, we dial in our espresso, prepare our slow-dripped cold brew, and bake our pastries to golden perfection.

We source our beans from dedicated local roasters who share our commitment to ethical sourcing and exceptional flavor profiles. Whether you are grabbing a quick takeaway for a day on the water or sitting down to watch the morning light filter through our windows, we invite you to slow down and savor the moment.
