Reviews mention

  • Vibrant fruit flavors lineup
  • Crisp, fizzy carbonation
  • Playful, colorful packaging
  • Lighter, refreshing profile
  • Lingering stevia aftertaste
  • Inconsistent soda dupes execution
  • Occasional low carbonation
  • Mixed gut-health results

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.

  • Definitely tasty, but still soda. It worries me that this is being marketed as a health drink.

  • I was bummed to find out Poppi is mostly exploiting a loophole in labeling - it should have clicked for me that a soda can’t give you fiber :( love the taste though

  • As a college student, my friends and I live off of this stuff. It's the perfect, healthy alternative to a soda when you are looking for something sweet and bubbly, that offers more flavor than a La Croix or seltzer water. Extra points for amazing packaging. I like these and I typically avoid carbonated drinks.

  • I think I'm in the minority, but the flavors/sweetness level just don't hit for me. Cute packaging though and a great mission.

  • Not every flavour works for me but the strawberry lemon flavour is genuinely good (not just good for a "healthy soda"). I think it is my favourite "healthy soda" alternative on the market.

  • I love the tropical punch, cherry cola, & cherry vanilla. There’s not a lot of sugar & surprisingly some fiber in the carbonated drink. Excellent quality to have around the house, as these go fast.

  • Maybe its just me but the differentiation between kombucha and probiotic soda is becoming thinner. Is this about the fact booch has a stigma? I love the booch... Poppi is solid in spite of it not being booch. Booch-adjacent? Anyway, I do dig this and while I am not a soda fan, sometimes a little pop is a treat worth treating and it is less bitter and harsh than some booch. Adulting soda!!

  • It’s just like every other mildly flavored fizzy water brand. Some guy health benefits but really, I don’t need functional benefits with something so mediocre.

  • Best thing to ever be created. Huge win for anyone trying to consume less sugar without restricting overall diet.

  • I am so happy Poppi is at Costco! I love these pops, but didn't buy them too frequently because they were so expensive. My favorite is the orange flavor, but I haven't tried one that I did not like.

  • These are fun to sip on when you're craving something sweet. I like the root beer flavor a lot (however I doooo like the olipop root beer a bit more)

  • If you are looking for a healthy alternative to soda, these are great. I like the fruit flavors and that they are made with prebiotics so that they are healthy for you. These are made with good for you ingredients and are really refreshing.

  • LOVE poppi! Tastes great and is really good for you. Definitely recommend!

  • Tastes is ok but I don't love the aftertaste - also, I don't feel that the 'probiotic' has much effect.

  • By a landslide my favorite prebiotic soda. My office has replaced our daily diet cokes with these, and its my favorite part of my day. 90% of the flavors are incredible, and I love the unique flavor combinations. I can't say I notice a big difference in my gut health from these, but they don't upset my stomach nearly as much as my daily soda used to.

  • I tried. I honestly tried but the artificial sweetener taste is so unappealing to me. I know that ppl have raved about Poppi but count me out. I would rather drink water. I wish I could describe the taste to you in a descriptive way. Flatish too sweet no thanks. I'll stick to water.

  • Looove these! These were the first prebiotic sodas I've tried & they're definitely a go-to. That being said, they aren't as tasty as some other ones on the market with similar pricepoints. I wish they had some new and exciting flavors more often as well. If you haven't tried, definitely worth a try!
