Our Story

Bringing the spirit of Parisian mornings to Prior Lake

We believed our neighborhood deserved a space where time slows down. LoadTest Cold Brew 3 was born from a love of slow-steeped coffee, flaky pastries, and the simple joy of sitting with a warm cup in a beautiful space.

Every batch of our signature cold brew is steeped for exactly eighteen hours to unlock a remarkably smooth, naturally sweet flavor. We partner with independent local roasters and bake our pastries fresh every single morning, ensuring that every bite and sip feels like a quiet luxury.

What the neighborhood is saying
