Pop & Bottle earns mixed reviews: its plant‑based lattes are creamy, smooth, and often taste clean with balanced sweetness, but textures skew chalky or gritty and caffeine feels weak to several reviewers. Reviews praise the oat milk and simple ingredients, while noting inconsistent flavor execution (vanilla, some mochas, and matcha read off, watery, or clumpy) and occasional unpleasant aftertaste.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
These are good for a quick grab & go option but be sure to shake very well!! It can get clumpy & a little chalky at the last sips if it hasn't been mixed well.
I tried this brand more than 5 years ago, when it just starting out, and priced pretty high at my local Bristol Farms. I actually saw they were at my Costco last week, which I was surprised by. To me, their products are alright (I tried most of the flavors). But definitely not a stand out in flavor when I compare to other bottled lattes. The flavor is a little too nutty, earthy, watery for me. It could just be because I'm not a fan of almond milk, but I'm not sure. I will continue to try some of their newer flavors here and there, but it is not one I will reach for.
The cold brew coffee is so good!! Love how it tastes clean and is low calorie. It is the perfect strength for my taste too I don’t care for the flavored cans. They just taste a little weird to me

I've become really fond of this brand! They're perfect to pick up on your way out for errands on a Sunday morning to keep you going throughout the day.

Don't forget to shake the bottle! I found out the hard way that the last two sips have a very gritty texture if you don't shake it first.
Latte of love
I liked the coffee based drinks from this brand but the matcha green tea latte was not as great as I had hoped. something tasted off. it is not my preferred sweetner maybe?

So, the first one I tried was the Mocha flavor and I strongly disliked that one. I'm not a huge mocha fan to begin with, but this latte was just so bitter and not very palatable. I tried again with the Caramel flavor and really enjoyed that one, however! Tastes really good, not too sweet, and no weird aftertaste. Finally, I enjoyed the Pumpkin Spice Latte cold brew that recently came out and liked that one too! Tastes like real pumpkin spice and has a good balance of flavor and benefits.
Pop & Bottle's design is top-notch and quality, standing out amongst the shelves in many organic food stores. I was really looking forward to trying their oat milk latte and unfortunately wasn't as much of a fan as I hoped. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. I'd still be willing to try the other flavors!
I've enjoyed the Pop & Bottle oat milk cold brew. I prefer a sweeter coffee and this provided that for me. I enjoyed the flavor of the Vanilla variety and I would purchase it again. It wasn't overly sweet, but did balance out the coffee flavor so the coffee wasn't overbearing.
I tried the canned latte. Maybe I didn't shake this well enough, but I got chunks in this. I think it's the dates for the sweeteners. The flavor, otherwise, was pretty good. I like that it's simple and natural ingredients.
The canned latte is too sweet! But I did like that it was sweetened with dates rather than cane sugar. The caramel flavor was okay, but I couldn’t see me buying this again and drinking it straight from the can as it is now. I had to put this on ice and mix it in with some extra oatmilk. Would purchase again if sweetness was 50-75% of what it is now.
Okay coffee, some flavors taste bad like vanilla oatmilk

I didn't love the taste of this... I was really excited to try the chai latte because it's hard to find bottled teas, but the taste just wasn't my favorite. Super cute packaging though!

This was a very pleasant alternative to the classic bottled Starbucks frappuccino drinks sold in stores. I mention them specifically since they taste aggressively similar, but with MUCH better ingredients. The cold brew was on the sweeter side, but in a very balanced and pleasant way. The coffee was not bitter in any way, it is actually cold brew, and not just cold, standard coffee. My husband and I loved this for many reasons, and have already gone shopping to grab the caramel flavor!
I purchased both the vanilla oat brew and the mocha cold brew. I really enjoyed the smooth taste of the beverage, and it served as a nice afternoon boost after the lunchtime slump!

I was pleasantly surprised- the oat latte was not too sweet and smooth, though I did make sure to shake well. The bottle is aesthetically pleasing and I love that it is dairy free.

I've loved every flavor I've tried. I'm super happy to see canned and bottled coffee drinks and lattes that don't use regular milk, and I'm very happy I tried it. I didn't notice any weird aftertaste, and it didn't make me feel heavy. They are fairly pricey, however, so the treat isn't exactly something I can enjoy often. It's definitely nice for a once in awhile treat after a long day. I found them rich and creamy without making me feel bloated.

I'd like to see more flavors and availability in more stores.
I have a problem, and it's that I literally can't have any other coffee besides pop & bottle (specifically their vanilla flavor in the pink can). I honestly give this company too much money, then again, it's the ONLY type of coffee I've found that doesn't give make my ulcers flare up. they don't say anything about being low acid on their website, but it must be because I can have 2 in a day, with no issue. it makes me so happy to drink and love that it isn't too high in sugar or calories. get it! they have them at whole foods and many grocers. pro-tip, if they're sold out in the refrigerated section, you can sometimes find them with the non cold drinks. Sidenote - what I DONT like is the mocha flavor, which can sometimes collagulate (sp?) and can get chunks of chocolate, even if you shake the bottle. that said, in a pinch, I will still drink/buy it if it's the only option because I need my cafeine! I also prefer the cans to the bottles!(although bottles are good too!)

Just meh… I’ve had worse but I’ve had better, ya know? I like the convenience in a rush, but would prefer instant over this tbh. It’s just missing… something.
LOVE!!! The items from this woman owned brand are GREAT!!! The aesthetic of these products are the cutest ever and the taste is also fantastic! Obsessed!!!
