  • 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've seen this can with it's millennial, poppy esque branding on the shelves at all the major stores: Erewhon, Whole Foods, so I decided to try their limited edition Cranberry Fizz and Strawberry Lemon. I am very sensitive to artificial sweeteners and can taste them on the tip of my tongue as the beverage makes its entryway into my mouth and boy did I feel it...After checking the ingredients list, Poppi really makes me scratch my head and wonder, "Were Agave Inulin and Stevia really necessary?" The aftertaste of these artificial sweeteners were so bad that I poured it out into the sink after the few sips to quench my dehydration and replaced my cup with au natural water. Please take notes from your competitors, I'm not too sure which flavor was worse-the cranberry or strawberry. The latter flavor was VERY sweet, and I was actually expecting there to be a tart taste. The branding is cute, but that can only take you so far.

  • Great alternative to a kombucha program soda when craving that kind of drink. Love the strawberry flavor, especially in the heat.

  • I have been drinking Poppi for YEARS and they are my favorite soda alternative! I especially love the Rasberry Rose, Orange, Cherry Limeade, and Grape flavors. I wish their pricing was a little lower, but I purchase the product in bulk via Costco, Walmart or Amazon, and it is totally worth it. It's my everyday treat!

  • For Poppi's soda drinks, I liked that it's prebiotic, has less sugar and tasted refreshing. I also liked the flavor options it has to offer. It's clearly one of the more healthier options when you're craving soda.

  • This has such a great flavor. Loved the prebiotic factor and ingredient list. I enjoyed it right out of the can but was also great over ice. Loved that also had decent ingredients and affordable at the stores.

  • I started drinking Poppi when I wanted a healthier soda option, and now I’m kind of hooked. The Cherry Limeade flavor is my favorite, it’s fruity, bubbly, and not too sweet. It’s refreshing and doesn’t leave me feeling guilty like regular soda. I’ve tried a few other flavors too, some are hit or miss, but overall, I really like how light and clean it tastes. It’s a fun way to get a little fizz without all the sugar.

  • I absolutely love Poppi and everything about it! All of the flavors perfectly align with what they’re going for. They’re a great soda substitute and go great with any meal! I definitely will continue to try any new flavors!

  • This drink is So good! I like how there is a wide variety of flavors with no artificial flavoring or added sugar. I also don’t feel bad drinking it because it’s a healthy alternative to regular pop (not soda y’all) with its prebiotic benefits. The only downside is it’s a bit expensive so it’s not an every day drink for me, but a special treat.

  • Raspberry rose is personally my favorite! And the grape would be my second choosing, it feels nice to have something fizzy and healthy as I used to drink a lot of regular soda but when this came out I loved it so much! It is pricey but it is worth it

  • Love!!! So tasty without the guilt or sugar! I constantly have this on hand in my fridge and am always looking for it at Whole Foods. Favorite is the orange soda but also love the cream soda. A great replacement for alcohol too.

  • I'm not kidding when I say that I wouldn't have survived the last 2 weeks if it weren't for Poppi. The rasberry rose flavor is my go to and it's what I sip on when I'm stressed, when I use to drink Diet Coke. I like this better than Olipop because it has less sugar and less calories.

  • Awesome alternative to someone trying to eliminate soda from their diet. I have tried many flavors and I am a huge fan. Price is a little high, but well worth it.

  • I like these. Similar to Olipop, I'm a big fan of better-for-you soda products. That said, I think these are a little less tasty relative to key competitors. Still, I like the product and I really like the brand work!

  • The Raspberry Rose is amazing and doesn’t taste too much like stevia. I also tried the Classic Cola which I didn’t like as much in terms of the flavor and the stevia after taste. There’s also an after taste of vinegar in these. Olipop doesn’t have that.

  • I think I have a can of poppi everyday. For christmas they have a cranberry fizz flavor and I stock up on these because I know it will be a while to drink them again. These flavors are so fun and I use them all the time

  • It's an OK, product. I feel there are other ways to drink prebiotics than having to consume a soda, even with not much sugar content. But still feels refreshing to drink from time to time when you feel like drinking a soda without thinking about calories.

  • I have been drinking Poppi on a regular basis for about a year now. Though the flavors do not exactly match up to what one might be accustomed to, they are still good. My favorites are Watermelon, Raspberry Rose, and Strawberry Lemon. They pair nicely with foods you would often have a soda with such as pizza or a hamburger. They have that crisp taste of a conventional soda without the sugar, calories, preservatives, and added colors. The apple cider vinegar gives it a nice zing and there is also the bonus of being prebiotic.

  • The entire experience of these drinks are cool. From the unique flavors and gorgeous colors to the delicious taste. What a fun time!

  • Overall love poppi, especially when making mocktails but it's good on its own to! Some flavors taste more apple cider vinegary than I would like but I'm also obsessed with some of the others like cherry lime and orange. And what a bonus that it is prebiotic!

  • as a drink it is not extremely flavorful but I would expect that in exchange for the health benefits. there is a slight bitter taste probably because of the apple cider vinegar although it's not strong enough for me to mind. it's a good choice to make if you're trying to be more health conscious and cut down on sugar
