Reviews mention

  • Convincing nostalgic flavors
  • Smooth balanced carbonation
  • Notably low sugar formula
  • Digestive-supporting prebiotics
  • Stevia-forward aftertaste
  • Occasional bloating reports
  • Inconsistent fizz texture
  • Overly sweet flavor notes

OLIPOP earns strong reviews as a satisfying, lower-sugar soda alternative that often tastes remarkably close to classics—standouts include Vintage Cola, Classic Root Beer, Strawberry Vanilla, Ginger Lemon, Orange Squeeze, and Classic Grape—while delivering prebiotic fiber that many say supports digestion. However, a sizable group reports drawbacks such as an overpowering stevia/“artificial” aftertaste, occasional bloating from the fiber, inconsistent fizz, and some flavors (e.g., certain cola, cherry, cream, or tropical profiles) reading too sweet, medicinal, or flat.

  • 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

    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.

  • I tried the root beer and the grape flavor. The root beer flavor was terrible. In the beginning, it tasted like black licorice, but towards the end it tasted like a wet sock.The grape was unremarkable because it just tasted like grape juice.

    Feedback

    I did not like the use of artificial sugar in this product, as well as the taste of these drinks are pretty nasty.

  • Olipop is perfect for when you're having a crazing for something sweet, but don't want any of the caffeine or high levels of sugar in most sodas. Strawberry Vanilla is my personal favorite, and it's the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

  • Their Vintage Cola is my favorite healthy soda. It taste just like CoCo/Pepsi but much healthier for you.

    Feedback

    The other flavors are really sweet so if you're into that, you'll love them. Otherwise, stick with the standard Vintage Cola.
