  • Vibrant fruit flavors lineup
  • Crisp, fizzy carbonation
  • Playful, colorful packaging

  • Lingering stevia aftertaste
  • Inconsistent soda dupes execution
  • Occasional low carbonation

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.

  • Love the packaging and low-sugar concept. The taste is not convincing enough to give up on traditional soda. The product is falling into that trap of healthier = weaker. There are so many ways to provide for real full-bodied healthy taste without completely watering down the taste. The taste excuse is just an excuse for not wanting to take on the complex challenge. Don't mean to sound harsh, but a lot of these 'new' brands get to market quickly and have fantastic packaging, but the value and the veracity of the product are just not standing up to the mission. It's going against the idea of a cleaner, healthier planet and people ... it's just more, faster stuff.

  • let me start off by saying that i cannot stand the taste of artificial sweeteners. i will say poppi is slightly less sweet compared to olipop, and it tastes more kombucha-y due to the apple cider vinegar addition. still, the taste of the stevia alone was enough to put me off. if you’re looking for a soda replacement, then poppi is a good alternative. i was looking for a light refreshment similar to a seltzer but with more flavor, and was disappointed. i bought a can for the hype, but won’t be repurchasing another.

  • I loved the flavor I tried - Strawberry Lemon! It was so tasty, refreshing, and not too sweet. Really looking forward to trying more flavors. It's hard to distinguish the difference between prebiotic soda brands like Poppi and Olipop. Both are equally amazing in my opinion, and the main difference is the range of flavors available at each brand.

  • I love a couple of the flavors, but some of them can definitely get vinegary tasting and not quite like a soda. But the rose flavor and the doc flavor are delish!!

  • These were very tasty! A little too sweet for my liking, but the flavors were interesting and different, which was a nice shake up.

  • I’ve tried the Poppi Orange Soda. I can’t speak to the health benefits per se, however as far as low calorie sodas go I found theirs to be very pleasant. The artificial sugar taste is still there but not too prominent.

  • Absolutely love Poppi. I think they are pretty similar to ollipop with mainly the flavors being the big difference between them.

  • This is such a cool idea for a product. I love that when I have a soda it can be healthy. That being said, there are some flavors that are better than others and could use a little work.

  • I personally give this product a 3/5 only because I’m not the biggest fan of soda in general. I think the point behind this product is great and a good/healthy alternative to regular soda. I think the packaging is super cute.

  • Definitely depends on the flavor you get, but the best flavors are reallyyyy good! A great alternative to regular soda and I am not a big soda person to begin with. Just have to be careful not to have too many because the probiotics can be a lot on a stomach that it isn't used to it.

  • Ginger Lime is my favorite! Perfect at any time with any meal… ps. Used to only find it at WholeFoods, now it’s everywhere! Definitely recommend it served chilled!

  • So far this brand is one of my favorite healthier sodas that I've tried. I tried the orange flavor and strawberry lemon flavor. To me they tasted just like fruit juice and had the perfect sweet but not too sweet flavor. I loved the strawberry flavor, it was a perfect refreshing summer drink. Will definitely be drinking it on the regular!

  • I really enjoy drinking Poppi's. They have so many flavor profiles if you want something sweeter like a dessert, or if you want something a bit more on the traditional soda side. Now - I can't say this is 100% working for me as a prebiotic - but I do enjoying having a healthier alternative to regular soda. The price point is always great, and the packing is vibrant and fun.

  • I love this brand so much. It is my go-to drink to replace all the bad stuff in the soda space. My absolute favorite flavors are orange soda, Doc Pop, and Root Beer. It is a staple in my fridge! However, it is quite hard to find Doc Pop online, due to the delayed shipping. Update- they now sell two different variety packs at Costco for 15 cans.

  • Poppi is the best!! As someone who has always had stomach issues, these are such a yummy drink that gives me my prebiotics and have minimal sugar. I buy a couple 4-packs every time I am at Target or Whole Foods. They have so many delicious flavors- the orange and watermelon are my favorite!!! And honestly, between Poppi and Ollipop- I love both but I would always prefer a Poppi. The flavors are just so much crisper.

  • Finally got around to trying one at one of my fav coffee shops and honestly, was pleasantly surprised! Nice carbonation and good flavor without a mouthful of sugar! I tried the strawberry lemonade, but now want to try the cola one.

    I think of soda as having a tad bit more carbonation. This felt like a seltzer. But otherwise...no qualms!
