Our Story
Steeping patience and community into every single cup
We started LoadTest Cold Brew 4 with a simple, stubborn belief: that a neighborhood coffee shop should feel like a second home. Inspired by the quiet elegance of Parisian sidewalk cafés, we designed our space to invite you to linger, read, or catch up with an old friend.
Our cold brew is the heart of what we do. We source our beans from local Midwest roasters who share our commitment to ethical sourcing, then steep them for eighteen hours in-house. It's a slow, deliberate process, but the velvety-smooth finish makes every hour of waiting worth it.

Guest Book
What the neighborhood is saying
"The lavender cold brew is absolutely unmatched. It has this incredible velvety texture, and the café itself feels like a tiny, sunlit slice of Paris dropped right into Minnesota."
"You can tell they care about the science of coffee. The espresso pulls are perfectly dialed in, and the twice-baked almond croissant is dangerously flaky."
"My Saturday morning ritual is grabbing a bag of their House Blend and a fresh butter croissant. The staff treats you like family the moment you walk in."
