Our Story

A slower pace, a richer cup, right here in Prior Lake

We founded LoadTest Cold Brew 10 on a simple realization: coffee shouldn't be rushed. Inspired by the quiet morning hours of Parisian side-street boutiques, we set out to build a sanctuary for coffee purists and pastry lovers alike. We partner with independent local roasters to select beans that shine under our patient, eighteen-hour cold extraction process.

Every morning before the sun clears the lake, our kitchen is alive with the scent of melting butter and freshly pulled espresso. From our hand-laminated croissants to our meticulously dialed-in espresso bar, we treat every cup and plate as a small piece of culinary art. We invite you to sit, linger, and taste the difference that patience makes.

  • "I'm extremely particular about my espresso. Their double shot is perfectly pulled—sweet, bright, and never bitter. And the croissant? Unbelievably flaky."
