Our Story

A love letter to slow mornings and perfect extractions

We started LoadTest Cold Brew 7 with a simple belief: coffee shouldn't be rushed. Inspired by the quiet, sun-drenched corners of Parisian cafés, we brought that same slow-living philosophy to the heart of Prior Lake. Every batch of our signature cold brew is steeped for exactly eighteen hours, extracting a smooth, velvety finish that completely redefines your morning cup.

We partner directly with independent local roasters who share our obsession with origin and ethical sourcing. From our hand-laminated croissants baked fresh at dawn to the precise temperature of our espresso pulls, we pour our hearts into every detail. It's more than a caffeine fix—it's a daily ritual shared with our neighbors.
