Our Story

Bringing a touch of Parisian romance to Prior Lake

LoadTest Cold Brew 14 was born from a simple obsession: why can't the quiet charm of a Parisian boutique cafe coexist with the warmth of a Minnesota neighborhood? We set out to build a space where time slows down, the coffee is brewed with scientific precision, and the croissants are always warm.

We partner exclusively with local Midwest roasters who share our commitment to ethical sourcing and exceptional flavor profiles. Our signature 18-hour cold brew process coaxes out the delicate, natural sweetness of the beans, delivering a smooth finish that has made us a daily ritual for local coffee lovers.

  • "The cold brew is incredibly smooth, but it's the atmosphere that keeps me here. It feels like stepping off a quiet street in Paris right into the heart of Minnesota."

  • "I pick up a bag of their Ethiopia Yirgacheffe every two weeks. The roast date is always fresh, and the staff actually knows their brew ratios."
