Our Story
Steeping patience and Parisian charm in the heart of Minnesota
We started LoadTest Cold Brew 11 with a simple, quiet dream: to bring the slow, romantic ritual of a Parisian boutique café to our favorite lake town. Our signature cold brew is never rushed. We steep our locally sourced beans for a full twelve hours, extracting a smooth, velvety finish that completely redefines what coffee can be.
Every croissant is baked to a golden, shattered crisp, and every espresso is pulled with meticulous care. Whether you are grabbing a quick takeaway bag of beans or sitting back to watch the morning light filter through our windows, we invite you to pause, sip, and savor the moment with us.
