What I Ordered
I ordered the Kermit Smoothie which consisted of greens, pineapple, papaya, banana, coconut, water, and lime. The texture was spot on, nice and creamy. The flavor was rich and robust, with a taste that was a perfect split between earthy and fruity. I really enjoyed the hint of lime which added a bit of natural kick, yum. Tasting the Kermit Smoothie was a nice change from the norm; after a while, green smoothies start to taste very similar from one place to the next. The atypical combination of healthful ingredients in the Kermit Smoothie created a unique, but enjoyable and satisfying taste.
The Vibe
The Good Kind has it going on at their Ivy Hall location in Southtown, what a fantastic spread. The outdoor patio and grounds boast a lush native landscape complete with heat lamps for those chilly evenings. The decor is chic with fun colors and a Texan flair.
The Takeaway
I can’t say enough about the beautiful setting, landscaping and just plain cool atmosphere at the St Mary’s Street venue. This location also doubles as an event space. The Good Kind has a sister location at Pearl Brewery Food Hall.
