Our Story

Steeped in local community, inspired by Parisian mornings

We set out to create a sanctuary where time slows down. At LoadTest Cold Brew 16, we pair the meticulous, slow-steeped craft of 16-hour cold brewing with the warm hospitality of Prior Lake.

Every morning, our espresso bar comes alive with locally roasted beans, while the aroma of freshly baked butter croissants fills the air. Whether you're staying for a quiet hour of reading or grabbing your daily cup on the go, you're part of our neighborhood story.
