Our Story

Steeping slowly on the banks of Prior Lake

We started LoadTest Cold Brew 7 with a simple conviction: that coffee should be an experience, not a rush. Inspired by the quiet, sun-drenched cafés of Paris, we brought that same appreciation for slow mornings and meticulous craft to Minnesota. Every batch of our signature cold brew is steeped for exactly eighteen hours, extracting a smooth, rich flavor profile that avoids any bitterness.

We partner with local roasters who share our obsession with origin and ethical sourcing. From our hand-laminated croissants to our micro-lot espresso, every single item we serve is made with high-quality ingredients and a deep commitment to our neighborhood. Pull up a chair, take a slow sip, and stay a while.

What our guests say

Loved by locals, inspired by Paris

  • "The Cold Brew No. 7 is a revelation. I pick up a bottle every Saturday morning and it's the smoothest coffee I've ever had. No bitterness at all, just pure, rich cocoa notes."

  • "Walking in here feels like stepping onto a quiet Parisian side street. Their croissants are incredibly flaky, and the Rose Vanilla Latte has actual rose petals and house-made syrup."
    Julian K.

  • "I bought a bag of the Lake House Blend for home, and the barista gave me the exact water temperature and brew ratio to use. That level of care is why I keep coming back."
