  • Vibrant, flavorful profiles
  • Crisp, refreshing carbonation
  • Appealing, playful packaging
  • Versatile, mocktail-friendly drink
  • Noticeable stevia aftertaste
  • Inconsistent flavor execution
  • Occasionally low carbonation
  • Polarizing cola and root beer

Poppi earns largely positive reviews as a satisfying soda alternative that tastes close to the real thing—standouts include Raspberry Rose, Strawberry Lemon, Orange, Ginger Lime, Doc Pop, Classic Cola, and Cherry Limeade—while many praise the light, crisp fizz and perceived gut-friendly prebiotic/ACV benefits. Reviews also flag weaknesses: a noticeable stevia or “diet” aftertaste in some flavors, variability by flavor (cola/root beer polarizing), occasional flatness or low carbonation, and that several drinkers don’t feel meaningful gut effects.

  • The reason the picture is a different container because it’s the love island version. I know some poppi drinks you taste the apple cider vinegar more than others but this one is on the light side. I think I prefer it more than fruit punch because some sugary fruit punch brand ones have a strange aftertaste knowing it not real fruit.

  • The flavors are great. I haven't tried their cola flavor yet. The fruit flavors are robust and there is no after taste to any of them. I would highly recommend that you give them a try. It’s super healthy!

  • Poppi Raspberry Rose is light, fruity, and refreshing with a delicious blend of sweet raspberry and subtle floral notes. It has a crisp, bubbly taste that feels a little more elevated than traditional soda. I love the unique flavor combination and refreshing finish. A fun option when I'm craving something fruity, fizzy, and not overly sweet!

  • Poppi Classic Cola has a nostalgic cola flavor with a refreshing fizz and just the right amount of sweetness.

  • Poppi Ginger Lime is crisp, zesty, and super refreshing! The tangy lime pairs perfectly with the subtle spice of ginger, creating a bright, bubbly flavor that isn't overly sweet.

  • I’ve been seeing Poppi everywhere lately, so I decided to try the Strawberry Lemonade flavor and honestly, it’s pretty good! It has a refreshing, tangy taste with just the right amount of sweetness. You can definitely taste both the strawberry and the lemonade, and it’s super fizzy, which makes it feel like a treat instead of just a regular drink. What I like most is that it’s not overly sweet like soda. It’s more of a light, crisp flavor that’s perfect when you want something flavorful but not heavy. I also like that it has apple cider vinegar for gut health, but it doesn’t have that strong vinegar taste at all, which I was worried about). If I’m being honest, it’s on the pricier side for a single can, and I probably wouldn’t drink it every day just because of that. But for an occasional refreshing drink that actually makes you feel good after, it’s worth it.

  • I actually think this is the best root beer replica/prebiotic soda I've had. I am not the biggest fan of the other poppi flavours, but this one really tastes good and not too sweet. Also feels less intense gastro-wise and enjoyable even in the evenings.

  • I thought this flavor was just okay. I like that it’s fizzy and not overly sweet, and the tartness makes it feel lighter than regular soda. That said, the cherry taste isn’t my favorite and comes off a bit sharp for me. I’d drink it if it’s available, but I wouldn’t specifically reach for this flavor again.

  • I've been a Poppi subscriber for a few years and we keep them stocked in our office too. I'm obsessed with this better for you soda trend and alternate between Poppi and Olipop. I really love the Raspberry Rose as an evening mocktail; will mix with magnesium powder for a sleepy time bev. I also love their seasonal flavors like the Cranberry Fizz!

  • I’m not sure about the health claims, but I do like the taste of poppi. It’s less sweet than normal soda or zero calorie soda and is a good pick me up every once in a while. I get the large packs from Costco and it brings the price down significantly.

  • nope, not for me. i have tried different flavours and gave chance after chance but nope 😭 the final straw was the cola 😩😩😩 are you kidding me it tasted so awful. the packaging is surely cute and vibrant and attracts customers but the taste is definitely not it
