We founded LoadTest Cold Brew 8 with a simple, beautiful dream: to merge the slow-paced, elegant ritual of a Parisian boutique cafe with the warm, welcoming heart of our Minnesota lakeside community. Our journey started with perfecting our signature 18-hour cold brew, seeking an extraction process so smooth it needs no masking.

Every morning, our espresso bar comes alive with the scent of freshly ground single-origin beans and golden croissants baking in the oven. We partner closely with local Midwest roasters who share our obsession with ethical sourcing and micro-lot quality, ensuring every cup tells a story of craftsmanship.
