  • La Croix Stawberry Peach is a sparkling water with a subtle flavor that they call “essence”. I like that it doesn’t have the artificial taste of so many other flavored waters. Mostly I still prefer plain seltzer water, but I use this for some variety!

  • I know people love to joke about La Croix flavors tasting vague but I genuinely love them lol. They're super crisp and refreshing and I like that the flavors aren't overwhelmingly sweet or artificial tasting. I especially like having them around during the summer or when I want something fizzy that isn't soda.

  • I have tried this brand several times because it is so popular, and I wanted to love it. For me, the metallic aftertaste is too strong to make this a favorite option. I do appreciate the fun flavors like cherry blossom. For those who do not get the metallic aftertaste, I think this would be a fantastic option.

  • I know that everyone jokes about how this brand's flavors are super weak or "a whisper". Personally, I think that some of the flavors are amazing, I love the coconut. I think that the more tropical flavors taste the best. These drinks also make a good mixer. Old faithful La Croix.

  • Refreshing and light, but the flavor can be inconsistent. LOVE the coconut! Some (like Pamplemousse or Limoncello) are lovely and subtly aromatic; others fall flat or feel artificial. I like having LaCroix on hand for guests or as a fizzy midday refresher, but I prefer sparkling waters with a bit more flavor depth or mineral content. That said, it’s calorie-free and accessible, which I respect.

  • A perfect water! Pure is a perfectly crispy and refreshing drink with no weird flavor or syrupy consistency of a soda. Pairs as a nice treat when you are craving something other than a plain glass of water

  • I drink at least one of these very day! Such a great range of flavors—my favorites are the coconut and limoncello. They are also 0 calories and do not have any harmful ingredients, which is a huge plus. A wonderful alternative to soda or plain water!

  • Delicious and refrshing but the flavor isn't too intense. I would like slightly more flavor, but I understand that some people get them for the slight flavor. The limoncello flavor they have is my favorite!

  • LaCroix is the one of the first sparkling waters I ever tried and really enjoyed and it started my love of all thinks sparkling waters. Peach-Pear is my favorite flavor but there is no bad flavor out there.

  • Not a sparkling water person, but these are not that bad, especially when you're thirsty for something cold. The taste is really muted, which I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm waiting to try another one to decide if I truly like this or not; I'm open to liking it.

  • This is a great go-to brand for sparkling water. Love how they have so many flavors and they are always coming out with new ones!

  • Happy with the wide variety of flavors and am glad they come in a 12-pack. The soda and skinny can ones are unique. Lots of competitors these days, still enjoy this OG brand

  • Not a big fan of LaCroix. The flavors do not contain actual fruit juice and thus have a hollow non-natural flavor to them. The water itself also seems to be of a lower quality than other products on the market. A classic sparking water that has been surpassed by better alternatives.

  • I love La Croix! It takes some getting used to if you aren't used to drinking sparkling water, but I love that it is innocent, as it states! It's best very, very cold. I highly recommend it. I stopped drinking pop yet still had the desire for pop after three months of not drinking pop, and this relieved all cravings!
