> Punch Buggy, 'Colorado's only all-natural authentic Hawaiian-style shave ice shop and truck,' brings island flavors to Lafayette through owner Neige LaRue, who was raised in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. Operating from a shiny silver Airstream at The Yard in Old Town Lafayette (105 S Public Rd), Punch Buggy distinguishes itself by making syrups in-house using 100% pure cane sugar with no artificial colors or flavors, staying true to authentic Hawaiian traditions. The menu offers unique tropical flavors including POG (passion orange guava), lychee, guava, and red bean, complemented by island-inspired toppings like mochi balls and ube whipped cream that transport customers straight to the Hawaiian islands. Beyond the Lafayette location, Punch Buggy operates a food truck that travels to various Boulder County events, spreading aloha throughout the community. LaRue's commitment to authenticity—from the all-natural ingredients to the traditional Hawaiian preparation methods—has made Punch Buggy a beloved destination for those seeking genuine island-style shave ice, bringing a taste of Hawaii's beaches and warm hospitality to Colorado's Front Range.
