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.

Guest Diaries
What our regulars say
"The lavender sweet cream cold brew is absolute magic. It's like sitting in a Parisian courtyard, but right here in Minnesota."
"I'm extremely particular about my espresso. Their double shot is perfectly pulled—sweet, bright, and never bitter. And the croissant? Unbelievably flaky."
"Their whole beans have completely transformed my home setup. The cellar blend makes the smoothest cold brew I've ever managed to make myself."
