  • Vibrant fruit flavors lineup

  • Playful, colorful packaging

Poppi earns largely positive reviews for delivering a satisfying soda substitute with vibrant flavors like Raspberry Rose, Doc Pop, Cherry Limeade, Ginger Lime, and Orange, plus a crisp fizz and fun, colorful cans. Reviews also flag real drawbacks: a noticeable stevia/artificial aftertaste for many flavors, mixed success with cola/root beer dupes, occasional flat/low carbonation notes, and inconsistent or unnoticeable gut-health benefits for some drinkers.

  • Hopping on the Poppi train! This stuff is just so so good and compared to soda, it seriously takes the cake. With so many fun and innovative flavors I’m hoping classic pop will become a thing of the past

  • Overall I like Poppi, it’s just a touch out of budget on what I would like to spend on a drink. Otherwise good flavors

  • Besides Olipop, Poppi was the second gut healthy soda that I remember trying on the market. Poppi is definitely great if you want some of the more fruity flavors- some of the flavors taste way too sweet for my taste, but I've definitely found a few I enjoy. At the end of the day, the Olipop cream or vanilla sodas are my jam- but Poppi is always fun to try.

  • I love prebiotic sodas!! Poppi was delicious-- I tried the cherry lime flavor; there is a nice level of carbonation as well. However, there's definitely a stevia aftertaste that can be off-putting. I also just personally like Olipop a bit better.

  • Not sure if my gut is in any better shape, but I love all the flavors. Love having a rose in a wine glass. The soda flavors are all close enough to the real thing that it really hits the spot for a soda craving

  • This is the absolute best soda. I typically don't like any soda at all, but this is amazing. I'm in love with their raspberry rose flavor, I get it every single time I see it in my grocery store. I cannot stress how much I'm in love with this drink!

  • I came across Poppi by chance at my parent's house, they purchased it for me when I was visiting because of the "prebiotic" messaging hoping it would help my known bloat, gut, and food reaction issues. I was pleasantly surprised that the bubbly beverage did calm my stomach, but was put off by some of the dual flavors (Strawberry Lemon). The packaging is playful and the founder doesn't take herself too seriously—she proudly shares the footage from when she went on Shark Tank and was name called by one of the judges, which makes her and the brand more endearing.

    After trying a few flavors I landed on Ginger Lime being my favorite and ordered a 12-pack subscription through Amazon to deliver every two months. While I can't always find Poppi in certain stores consistently (H-E-B, Sprouts, Target), ordering from their website or Amazon is convenient. I recommend this beverage to anyone who likes a light flavor profile, tangy kick due to its fermented nature, and small bubble carbonation.

  • I really liked the taste of the raspberry one -- it reminded me a mamba! I have no idea if it helped my gut... but it was tasty.

  • Really pretty branding, but not a fan of the flavors. SO sweet it’s a bit overwhelming. :( feels like drinking cane sugar to me.

    Dial down the sweetness!

  • The flavors are very hit or miss, but I love the branding and appreciate that it's a bit sweeter than most better-for-you sodas.

    Feedback

    I never noticed any effects of the prebiotics. It would be great to have there be more education around this.

  • So good! I find the flavors are a hit or miss - most of the time they are a hit. I've been really enjoying these as a replacement of soda.

    Feedback

    I'd love to see more carbonation in them! They're so good but some of the flavors can be really heavy and less like a soda.

  • I'm officially obsessed with Poppi! Finding drinks that aren't just glorified sugar water is challenging. These prebiotic sodas have become my go-to afternoon pick-me-up. The Apple Crisp flavor tastes like fall in a can without the sugar crash. My gut literally thanks me after drinking these, and the clean ingredients list is impressive. Great for my sensitive digestive system.

  • The flavors are so not a dupe for the real thing that it is incredibly unsatisfying, plus the aftertaste I find comes along with Stevia. And I don’t love the apple cider vinegar for dental health.

  • Some flavors are definitely better than others. I really liked the strawberry lemon one. It was crisp and flavorful. On the other hand, I didn't enjoy the cherry limeade one. It tasted like a cherry coke, which wasn't what I was expecting at all. I'll try some of the other flavors and update my rating if needed.

  • All of their flavors are sooo delicious and I feel good drinking them knowing that they are very low in sugar. I also really love the packaging and the company's mission.

  • I LOVE the raspberry rose. Not a soda person and bubbles hurt my stomach. But not poppi.
