Reviews mention

  • 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.

  • Out of all of these brands, this one's my favorite. Tastes less.....sad than competitor brands. And they're so pretty.

  • Tastes terrible and hurts my stomach so much. Actually do not drink if you have digestive issues - hernia, gallbladder, or anything of the sort. My GP reccomended against it after having a COLIC from poppi <3

  • I thought they were unique in Flavor I wasn’t in love with them, but I’ll give them a second try

  • It's fine. I just can't get super excited about it. Like it's just very clear it's trying to be soda. Not for me!

  • I like most of the flavors. Strawberry lemonade is my favorite. Ingredients are good too. An infrequent treat.

  • Absolutely OBSESSED!! I love it, my kids love it, and even better that it's actually healthy. Strawberry lemonade is in a class all its own. I guess the best compliment I can give is that i use Poppi as a reward for my kids - little do they know that I'd let them drink it all day long regardless.

  • some flavors are better than others! my favorite is the raspberry rose soda. I'm not a fan of stevia in general but this is tolerable for me.

  • I love Poppi more for their flavors and branding but not so much for their prebiotic. Haven't tried any flavors that I don't like. It's a staple for a dinner party.

  • healthy soda? sign me up. I love Poppi and its mission to create better options! My favorite flavor has to be ginge lime! Next, I am trying the root beer and making a rootbeer float :)

  • In all honesty, I had the pleasure of meeting Allison, the founder of Poppi at a digital marketing conference. That's the first time I heard of poppi, and now it seems like they're everywhere, and for a good reason! The strawberry flavor is hands down my favorite, and Allison's story is truly inspiring for all business owners out there. Really great to see this brand grow and loveee the packaging!

    Received a free product from Poppi
  • I really enjoyed the flavors and how they are a prebiotic "healthier" soda.

  • It's an interesting concept but I think Kombucha (from various brands) already does a great job at replacing soda and these really didn't taste that great to me, unfortunately. 10/10 packaging though

  • I'm thoroughly impressed. I wasn't expecting much out of a can labeled "Prebiotic Soda," but I was blown away by their Strawberry Lemonade flavor. I'm not much of a soda drinker, but I'll definitely pick up a can of Poppi whenever the craving hits.

  • I tried the lemon-lime flavor and it's pretty close to sprite. The carbonation also wasn't too strong which sometimes bothers me. I think I would be able to tell the difference between this and sprite but for the healthier benefits, it's a good difference to me!

  • The only flavors I tried that were available at my local Wegman's were Raspberry Rose, Ginger Lime, and Strawberry Lemon. I wish I got a chance to try the standard cola, doc pep, and root beer alternatives as well as the other flavors on the website. I have to say that I was not a fan of the raspberry rose or the strawberry lemon, mostly due to the fact that I eat to eat my berries rather than drink them! I did like the Ginger Lime a lot! I like anything with ginger! The addition of apple cider vinegar and the fact that it only is 15 calories mostly from only 4 grams of added sugar is a huge bonus! Definitely beats traditional sodas out the water!!! In the end, everyone has a different flavor palate!

    Use of stevia; I'm not a big fan of it as it's aftertaste on the tongue is instantaneous and uncanny. While I commend them on making this drink a low-sugar one, I would recommend the use of monk fruit instead. The price point also needs to come down at some point

  • one of the first healthy sodas so ill give them that. this market is oversaturated now though and i don't love the use of stevia - pls do research into how stevia was a contraceptive for native people in the past!

  • I love this & if it’s prebiotic, I’m on it!!! Love most of the flavors that I’ve tried. And for what it is, it is a reasonable price. I have an autoimmune disease in my stomach so I love having a Poppi without guilt. The watermelon is the BEST flavor that they make in my opinion. Don’t skip this one. It’s actually somewhere between watermelon and strawberry. I definitely recommend! 🤍🍉🤍

  • I’ve been on a sober journey for 6 months. I’ve tried every “novelty” drink to keep it fun and interesting. This soda alternative is such a treat for me. The flavors are the best in this category. Strawberry Lemonade is my favorite.

  • Super adorable packaging but unfortunately I found these way too sweet. I tried a couple different flavors cause I wanted to see what all the hype was about but it wasn’t for me.
