Our Philosophy

Bringing the slow-paced elegance of Parisian cafés to Minnesota

We founded LoadTest Cold Brew 2 with a simple dream: to combine the meticulous, time-honored brewing traditions of specialty coffee with the warm, lingering hospitality of a classic Parisian salon. We believe coffee shouldn't be a rushed transaction, but a moment of pause.

Every batch of our signature cold brew is steeped for exactly twenty-four hours in temperature-controlled steel vessels, extracting the deep chocolate and fruit notes of our locally roasted beans without any of the bitterness. We pair this obsession with fresh, laminated pastries baked daily to bring a little bit of butter-rich joy to your morning routine.
