Our Story
Bringing the slow rhythm of Parisian mornings to Minnesota
LoadTest Cold Brew 8 started with a simple, stubborn belief: that coffee shouldn’t be a rushed commodity. Inspired by the lingering afternoons we spent in quiet Parisian bistros, we set out to build a space where time slows down the moment you cross the threshold.
We source our beans from small-scale local roasters, selecting single-origin crops that tell a story of soil and season. Our signature cold brew is steeped patiently for twenty-four hours, extracting a deep, complex sweetness that needs no masking, while our pastry chef laminates dough daily using traditional French methods.
