Reviews mention

  • Convincing nostalgic flavors
  • Lower sugar formulation
  • Gut‑friendly prebiotic blend
  • Attractive, nostalgic branding
  • Occasional stevia aftertaste
  • Inconsistent flavor execution
  • Sometimes low carbonation
  • Potential bloating for some

OLIPOP earns mostly positive reviews for delivering a convincing, lower‑sugar soda experience with gut‑friendly prebiotics and 9g fiber per can; many say it curbs soda cravings and specific flavors like Vintage Cola, Classic Root Beer, Strawberry Vanilla, Classic Grape, Ginger Lemon, Orange Squeeze, and Cream Soda stand out. Reviews also flag weaknesses: some flavors taste overly sweet or artificial with stevia aftertaste, carbonation can feel flat, effects on digestion vary (from helpful regularity to bloating), and flavor hit‑or‑miss consistency means not every “soda‑dupe” lands.

  • I love these drinks. Every-time I go to Whole Foods, I always buy a few cans. I’ve tried the strawberry vanilla, vintage cola, and root beer. All of those drinks taste like the actual soda just a little less sweeter.

  • Loved the range of flavors and the taste of the drink. My favorite was the cherry vanilla

    Feedback

    Wish the price was a little lower, I felt like it was expensive if I wanted to drink these every day.

  • Next to seltzer, This is a step up. Its basically guilt-free soda, and the flavors are actually really good. The strawberry vanilla is my favorite, but the cola is pretty spot on, and the collab they recently did with Minions (i think it was Banana Cream flavored) was way better than expected. PLUS its good for digestive health, whats not to love?

    Feedback

    The price per can is a little pricey in store, so I wish they were slightly cheaper, but other than that, I just wish there were more flavors!

  • Cola- so oddly like a cola, used for a replacement in a whisky soda. Was a nice lighter moment in a drink situation Root beer - really scratched my itch for a root beer without the stress I get from full-sugar soda, Ginger lemon - great balance of flavor

    Feedback

    There is a little bit of lingering taste on the tongue that sometimes comes with non-sugar sodas but not enough to really not buy them

  • As someone who is trying to kick that icky regular soda habit, Olipop has been a surprisingly delightful alternative! Ever since finding these, I’ve only had a regular soda once (I really miss my diet coke). I love every flavor, especially grape and tropical punch! And as someone who is really into gut health, I appreciate that Olipop is a fun way to get in my prebiotics. Olipop is deliciously addicting and is just as good, if not better, than regular soda (even Diet Coke)!

    Feedback

    I wish it was more easily accessible to buy all flavors at the store! I don’t really want to order them online and I’ve had a really hard time getting my hands on tropical punch - my favorite flavor. I also wish they were just a hair cheaper!

  • It’s such cute packaging and a fun concept drink! I like the variety of flavors.

    Feedback

    Some flavors were really great and others were meh. I love the fruity flavors but the soda inspired ones weren’t for me.

  • All of the olipop flavors are delicious! Don’t expect an actual soda but it comes decently close. It’s a great alternative

    Feedback

    Getting closer and closer to that authentic soda flavor would be awesome

  • I love Olipop, especially the root beer flavor! They taste very similar to classic soda, minus the carbonation.

    Feedback

    I would love to see them branch into some non-soda flavors in the future.

  • This is the only sparkling beverage brand I like. The taste is great, the packaging is cute, and I don't find the drinks to be too sweet. I am especially head over heels in love with the Strawberry Vanilla flavor, which I think about on a daily basis.

    Feedback

    It would be great if Olipop were available in more stores — I'd love to find them in CVS one day! And of course, exploring more sustainable packaging processes never hurts.

  • These flavors are a hit or miss. I find that so many people post about drinking these but from my personal experience I only liked the Orange Squeeze one, even then it tasted like a vitamin C packet.

    Feedback

    Just better flavoring

  • Overall very good. I especially liked the Orange, very yummy! The cola and root beer were good too. I have a 4 because I didn't care for all the flavors but that is just my taste buds. I haven't tried the grape or fruit punch as they were not available in store.

  • Delicious nostalgic flavors. The vintage cola has replaced all Coke Zero in my life.

    Feedback

    More limited edition drops

  • I thought the flavors tasted a tad artificial, but I like the concept.

  • As someone who is not usually a pop (or soda) person, Olipop has become a drink that I seek out when I’m out & about and need to quench my thirst. Great flavors!

  • I think to enjoy Olipop you can't think of it as soda. Its not a sweet, it doesnt have a crispy refreshing quality, if compared 1:1 with soda it falls apart. That said, as tonics and health beverages they are phenomenal. Better tasting than anyone else on the shelf next to it. Its about setting expectations

    Feedback

    Boost flavor!! there are some real gems here.

  • I really like their flavors, but I wish there was more carbonation. They end up getting pretty flat quickly, compared to other similar brands like Poppi.

  • These drinks are pretty tasty, my family and I love picking up a few cans when we see them. They have lots of good flavors, my personal favorite being Strawberry Vanilla. I will say that any probiotic benefits it’s supposed to have aren’t really present, I couldn’t tell if I felt any different after trying it. I’m sure if there’s any benefit, you might need to drink a lot of them to see.

    Feedback

    These aren’t very affordable to keep stocked in the house. As nice as it is to buy one from time to time, there are similar offerings with cheaper price tags available.

  • I love kombucha but sometimes want something sweeter that has a good bubble to it still. The strawberry flavor is my favorite, not too thick or sweet - I tried poppi but couldn't help but feel like the drink contained a thick syrup in it. I haven't noticed any benefit from the probiotics, at least not any more than standard kombucha. It is a nice option if you don't like the floral tastes some kombucha can have or want something with a more traditional soda taste without the tons of sugar

    Feedback

    I'd love to see them do seasonal flavors that go with what fruits or spices are in season for that time of year

  • As someone who doesn't like drinking regular soda because of how sweet they are, this drink helps a lot. The taste isn't muddled down and the carbonation fixes my itch for soda.

  • I enjoyed the fruity flavors but don't think I will be trying the cola or root beer.
