Our Story

A cozy slice of Paris tucked away in Prior Lake

We started LoadTest Cold Brew 9 with a simple, uncompromising vision: to bring the meticulous, slow-paced coffee culture of Parisian boutiques to our beloved Minnesota community. Our journey begins with sourcing exceptional beans from local midwestern roasters who share our commitment to ethical sourcing and flavor integrity.

Our signature 18-hour cold brew process isn't a shortcut; it's a daily devotion. We control the water temperature, grind size, and steep time down to the second, resulting in an incredibly smooth cup with zero bitterness. Pair that with our pastries, baked fresh every morning with real butter, and you have a ritual worth waking up for.
