Love shaved ice? Check out Punch Buggy, it is a gem in downtown Louisville!

Let the kids enjoy a cool treat in the hot Colorado sun!  This is a perfect summertime stop.  Kids will love to choose from the various flavors available!  You can surely find one that everyone in your family will enjoy.  As they say, "this is not a snow cone, it's shaved ice!"

Sit in the outdoor seating area and people watch as others enjoy downtown Louisville.  The kids can get the sidewalk chalk out and decorate the walkway with pictures and happy sayings to bring joy to others. The sidewalk chalk is there for all to enjoy.  A small box of chalk is on the bench near the sidewalk. 

If you have an event coming up, such as a birthday party of end of school celebration, be sure to check out their website for the "Mobile Cart" that is coming soon.  You can fill out the event inquiry form online.  What a fun treat to have at your celebration!

Should you have one child who wants shaved ice and another who wants ice cream, don't worry!  Head around the corner and you can find Sweet Cow, an incredibly special ice cream store with great locally made ice cream flavors. 

Or, if a pastry is what your crew wants, head across the street to Moxie Bread Co.  They have such a fabulous selection of treats and also savory items.  If you need a lunch, they also have sandwiches and salads.  Or bring a great loaf of bread home for breakfast the next morning. 

Whatever your crew decides on for your treat, this area of downtown Louisville will give you great variety and will provide you with a few hours of entertainment for your children.  Between the shaved ice or the ice cream, it is a sure treat that will refresh you on a warm Colorado day!
