Our Story
Bringing the art of the Parisian salon to Prior Lake
We founded LoadTest Cold Brew 5 with a simple, elegant dream: to marry the meticulous, slow-steeped craft of specialty cold brew with the warm, butter-scented romance of a Parisian boutique café. Every morning, the scent of hand-laminated croissants fills our cozy corner in Prior Lake.
We source our beans from local Midwest roasters who share our obsession with origin and roast profile. From our precise 18-hour cold brew extraction to the perfect microfoam on our espresso, every detail is engineered for a moment of pure, unhurried indulgence.
