We love downtown Louisville. And every time we're there, we check out Punch Buggy. I love that they have vegan ice cream and shaved ice. My kids love tho get a combination of both. Although I was hesitant at first, it taste really good. They have so Many different flavors. I met the owners and they are so kind and sweet, and they care so much about the community! We love grabbing our desserts and sitting outside to watch the bikes go by and enjoy the music. read more

Punch Buggy Shave Ice - Punch buggy - Shaved Ice Near Me - Louisville, Colorado

Nice to be able to sit outside on patio & eat shave ice. I just think the quality of syrup still weak compare to famous authentic Honolulu shave ice I just experience couple weeks ago. We picked pineapple, strawberry & blue raspberry with snow cap & mochi. Love how they put mochi on the stick, but think Mochi is too small for add-on price. Good services. Wait for 5 mins to get your shave ice. No water available, so please bring your own bottle. I will go there and try ube cloud top next time. So far, the best Shave ice I tried in CO. read more

The shaved ice was delicious and very refreshing. I ordered multiple syrups on mine which made it delicious but I had to add on a lot of upgrades. My husband ordered coconut with snow cap. His had a little bit of syrup put on it . His was very bland when we got to the middle . It was like eating plain shaved ice. read more

Great location next to Ghost Box pizza with a play area out front and awesome summer vibes: go! You won't be disappointed!

Went back again because this is the best shave ice place in Colorado hands down. I decided to get the toasted coconut topping this time and it was so delicious. As always you can't go wrong with a vanilla ice cream bottom and any of the flavors! read more

Punch Buggy Shave Ice - two cups of ice cream - Shaved Ice Near Me - Louisville, Colorado

Its OK but not much different than many shaved ice places. Buggy has more options but - yeah, not such a huge deal unless you want to spend $10 on ice with flavored ice. For desert for these prices I'd spend the same $ on something more interesting at the bakery across the street or the ice cream place. The 'special flavor' is deceptive... its not a special at all... just whatever combo they decide to do and charge you full price for. Overall, you're not missing anything special here. read more

Punch Buggy is doing Shave Ice RIGHT! Thank you so much for bringing this delightful shop north of Denver! The smaller sizes are plenty big, but I always get a huge one! The snow cap and liu ming powder are so delicious as well. Grape and raspberry are my favorite. Come out and support them - even if it's cold - so delish! Thank you also for having compostable cups/spoons and for having a place for those to go right outside your window. read more

Punch Buggy Shave Ice - Grape/raspberry. Yum. - Shaved Ice Near Me - Louisville, Colorado

I never lived in Hawaii, but have visited the islands over a dozen times. Punch Buggy has the most authentic shave ice I've found in Colorado. Compared to other local places, the ice is much more delicate, syrups are flavorful (not as artificial tasting), and the macadamia nut ice cream is really high quality. Don't be fooled by other vendors who claim to have shave ice but actually serve ground ice, reminiscent of the oldtime Sno-Cone sold at amusement parks. I've been to both locations in Louisville and Lafayette -- both are walk-ups -- but haven't tried the food truck yet. The product has always been spot on and the employees very friendly. Their shave ice is the real deal! read more

I'm a little late in writing my review this year as they've closed for the season already, but I had to do it. This place has hands down the best shave ice I've ever had, even better than the places people rave about in Hawaii that I've been to. The regular size is huge and definitely shareable, so if you're not wanting a huge dessert and not sharing I'd recommend the keiki size. I love that they have dole whip as a base, and it's the good stuff not the knockoff stuff you find so many places. The flavors are awesome and way stronger than what I've found elsewhere (which is great), and they always are very generous with the snowcap on top. My go to is dole whip base, coconut/pineapple/punch buggy syrups, and add a snowcap on top (this is a must do, it's delicious). As far as seating, this is a walk up window but this summer they had plenty of tables and stools on the street right there to sit at. They do close for the winter season which has already happened this year and I'm so bummed about it. I can't recommend this place enough, when it opens next season I'll be there the first day. read more

We were in Hawaii recently and the shaved ice is the bomb! I like this shop since there is not the artificial colors. Hawaiian ice is still more flavorful. Maybe the islands pour it on more. The macadamia ice cream at Punch Buggy is the creamiest and the best I ever had, though. Put it on the bottom of your shaved ice. read more

An authentic shave ice spot in Louisville? Yay! The owner hails from Hawaii and created a light fluffy shave ice with natural flavors with special flavors each week. I like to add mochi or condensed milk (snow cap) on mine. Bonus that this keeps the kids happy :) read more

They forgot to put dragons breath on the menu.. she blew on my shave ice thinking there was too much li hing mui. then served it to me. With Covid still going around they shouldn't be blowing on anything read more

A great place for shaved ice. You will love it. The small town of Louisville is a great setting.

Seriously tastes better than it looks but maybe I should've ordered flavors with more color haha. I was pleasantly surprised felt like a little taste of Maui here in Colorado all that's missing is that macadamian nut ice cream. Apparently they used to have it but got rid of it due to kids having nut allergies. Seriously how thoughtful!!! And what's best is they have vegan ice cream flavors. I just love this place!! read more

All natural and wide variety is so perfect to take the kids and sit in the street! Very quick service, super sweet staff taking orders. We are weekly customers. Perfect for hot weather. Also the Vegan Coconut ice cream yummy enough. read more

I love this place's shave ice! It was my first time going here. I had heard other people in Louisville talking about this place, so I decided to check it out and I'm so glad I did! They have really good shave ice as well as some add on options like vanilla ice cream underneath it, sweetened milk drizzled on top, and lots of great flavors! Would definitely recommend! read more

Punch Buggy Shave Ice - Regular sized Punch Buggy flavor shave ice with vanilla ice cream underneath! - Shaved Ice Near Me - Louisville, Colorado

There's definitely a difference between "shave ice" - the Hawaiian type that is beyond fantastic and "shaved ice" the North American hack at a chunk of ice variant. 99% of what you find on the continent is the hack at the chunk kind. This place is the real deal and is a lot cheaper than the tickets to Hawaii! read more

Aloha mika mikiolos. Now this place is the real deal. It takes me back the the days I lived in Hawaii and surfed the big 100. The ice at buggy is almost identical to the ice I had during the hot nights in Hawaii in the hot tub with my boyfriend. I got the pineapple coconut and my boyfriend got the punch flavor. Both I would totally recommend to any of my fellow mates. I'm telling you, this place is doing something right. Mahalo hikarikiolos. read more

Punch Buggy Shave Ice - Keiki (small size) cherry and and watermelon! - Shaved Ice Near Me - Louisville, Colorado

This is a great destination for a bike ride or a cool pit stop on a visit to downtown. Portions are good sizes. There is a variety of basic flavors and a bunch of exotic add-on items to try. Service has been good - I tried a flavor I didn't care for and they took good care of me. It is located on Main Street and operates out of the Verde building right across from Moxie Bread. Give it a shot while the summer is still hot. read more

I love this place, especially in this hot weather! The ice is light and fluffy. The flavors are refreshing. My favorite is watermelon and I recently had them put a dash of pineapple on it too. Highly recommended! read more

So awesome. They have multiple, rotating flavors and they all are amazing. They also have a vegan coconut whip cream that is wonderful.

Love this place. Such a unique and amazing taste. Even better when Sweet Cow has a 30 min line.

Authentic Hawaiian Shave Ice and all natural syrups! Fun and colorful seating outside. A welcome addition to Louisville.
