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.

  • I love every flavor!! So happy costco carries them. I do wish that costco carries some different flavors other than the same all three.

  • Delicious and so refreshing. Absolutely addicted. this is a low-calorie drink. That is a great alternative to pop. That is bad for you. I always feel refreshed after drinking this. I am looking forward to trying new flavors.

  • Great tasting, bit expensive. Good lower calorie soda.

  • I want to love Poppi because I think that the idea of it is amazing and, honestly, needed... sugar has a hold on the American public and the innovation behind a "healthier" soda is wonderful. I just don't love the flavors. Perhaps I am the wrong audience because I do not normally drink soda at all...and these are very very sweet. The only flavor that I have enjoyed is the "grape" and I couldn't even finish the entire thing. They are pricey so I probably won't keep trying new flavors

  • You've got to give props to their move, adding apple cider vinegar for those gut-friendly vibes. But let's be honest, the flavors are like that weird indie movie your friend raves about – it's a love-or-hate deal. And while the bright cans might catch your eye, your wallet might not be as thrilled.

  • Poppi is my favorite drink ever! Such a great substitute for a regular soda and I love all of the flavor options! Grape is my favorite!

  • Generally I like these as a ~better~ for you soda alternative. I do find the flavors to be pretty hit or miss. Some flavors like the raspberry rose or the doc pop are great, but others like the cranberry fizz, taste aggressively of artificial sweetener (and I am an avid diet soda lover). Will continue to buy the flavors I love and occasionally gamble on a new one.

  • This tastes like real soda!! And the health factor is just icing on the cake.

  • Tasty flavors and a nice level of carbonation satisfies my soda cravings. However, these are just too expensive for me to buy regularly.

  • I loveeeee poppi everything from the packaging, low cal and sugar, tastes great, has apple cider vinegar so it’s good for your gut, great soda replacement, everything 10/10, I’ve tried so many flavors and none disappoint

  • I have a love affair with Poppi and often rotate between these and other prebiotic sodas. They definitely quench your thirst, hit a craving for a sweet refreshing drink, but make you feel good!

  • I really like the flavors for Poppi, I started off slowly with this brand and it has soon became my go to for beverages on the go. I’ve seen it distributed in a lot more places so is really accessible. The Doc Pop and raspberry rose are my go to’s. My only snag is the price. I know the ingredients are more elevated. However I tend to buy in bulk during promos or discounts at my local supermarket.

    I purchased myself
  • Great taste but what a way to destroy your teeth!!! The "probiotic" vinegar doesn't do enamel any flavors and spiking in a bit of sugar + carbonation only furthers the injury. The fruity flavors are just another punch on the list as these require still more acid. I hope that Poppi comes out with teeth-friendly formulations because these sure are delicious!

  • I love this new probiotic drink so yummy and fizzy and I love the flavors

  • the ginger lime is so crispy and refreshing. it’s not too sweet but not as tart as a kombucha so if you don’t want that type of sourness this is a great alternative. it’s also a great option if you’re looking to ween off of soda. definitely not as sweet but could satisfy the carbonated craving!

  • I'm a big fan of Poppi and like that it's more of a guilt-free soda alternative. It's really nice that they've expanded to big box stores and that I'm able to snag some at my local Target or even our local bodega. Thought about giving 4 stars for flavors since sometimes I think they're a bit too strong, but that's just my personal preference. Overall I enjoy trying new flavors and think this is great when you want a beverage that's closer to a refreshing soda.

  • I love these, you can’t go wrong with any flavor. My favorite is the cola great alternative if you’re a cola fan! Including the Doc pop I’m not even a big Dr Pepper gal but this one is a go to!

  • I absolutely love Poppi drinks as they are a lot healthier and they don’t upset my stomach which is great and they are delicious! My favorite is the strawberry lemonade flavor it’s so good! Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to find a healthier alternative to soda!
