Our Philosophy
Where Parisian romance meets lakeside morning rituals.
We started LoadTest Cold Brew 8 with a simple belief: coffee shouldn't just wake you up; it should make you pause. Tucked away in Prior Lake, we combine the slow, meticulous art of French cafe culture with the bold character of locally roasted beans.
Our signature cold brew is steeped for exactly eighteen hours, yielding a velvet-smooth profile completely free of bitterness. We pair each cup with pastries laminated by hand and baked fresh at dawn.

What Our Guests Say
Loved by Prior Lake regulars
"I stop by every Saturday for the Lavender Honey Cold Draft and a croissant. The pastry is so flaky it shatters, just like the ones I had in Paris."
"Their Ethiopia Sidama beans completely changed my home pour-over setup. You can tell they care deeply about the roast profiles."
"The signature cold brew has zero bitterness. It's incredibly smooth, and the staff remembers my name and order every single time."
