Reviews mention

  • Vibrant flavor variety
  • Refreshing fizzy mouthfeel
  • Lighter, cleaner ingredients
  • Eye-catching playful packaging
  • Lingering stevia aftertaste
  • Occasionally too sweet profile
  • Inconsistent soda dupes
  • Lower carbonation intensity

Poppi earns largely positive reviews as a tasty, lower-sugar soda alternative that many say curbs cravings, feels lighter on the stomach, and sometimes helps with bloating; favorites include Raspberry Rose, Orange, Ginger Lime, Doc Pop, Cherry Limeade, Classic Cola, and Root Beer. Reviews also flag weaknesses: a noticeable stevia/artificial aftertaste for some, occasional vinegary tang or sweetness that runs too high, less carbonation than expected, mixed success of cola/root beer “dupes,” and inconsistent alignment with claimed gut benefits.

  • Best soda ever. I love all the flavors and I feel like my tummy always feels great after these.

  • Poppi is good with cute packaging to boot! However, I believe other brands in the space are doing it better. It’s not bad…just not the best!

  • I am obsessed! I always have a few Poppi in my fridge. Better than drinking regular high-sugar mass-market sodas by a mile- and they taste better too! Pro Tip: Raspberry Rose is the BEST flavor.

  • Love some of the flavors but a few of them are just ok. Definitely in the top bracket of pre/probiotic sodas right now.

  • i love every single flavor i've tried. the cans are cute, and the flavors are less sweet than typical sodas but still have enough sweetness to feel like one.

  • Love love love poppi. Fulfills all my soda cravings and is so so so much better for you

  • So they are good but as far as healthy sodas go…. There are tastier ones out there in my humble opinion. I’m glad this brand exists though and if I see it I’ll grab it over regular soda every time.

  • I’m not really a soda drink so that wasn’t my appeal but it’s insane how “soda-like” it is in terms of sweetness. I appreciate the effort to cater to gut-health in the form of a sweet treat. all the flavors i’ve had are great

  • Didn’t love the taste or flavors . Husband on the other hand loves them. So while it might not be for me , it’s worth trying!

  • When I initially tried poppi I did not like the flavor. I had the doc pop flavor. It had a black licorice taste in my opinion. I seldomly decided to give it another chance and I’m so grateful I did. I honestly can’t decide if the cherry limeade or the strawberry lemon is my favorite flavor. Definitely give it a try. Also try more than one flavor!

  • When it comes to "healthy" soda options, Poppi is definitely my preferred brand. The aftertaste of the sugar alternatives isn't great but is less notable than their competitors. I find that the Ginger Lime has the least offensive aftertaste and is the most versatile for someone looking to mix up a cocktail or mocktail.

  • I totally get the hype around Poppi. They're a good-for-you soda that mimics our childhood favorites. I think the flavor options are awesome and the ingredients are great. My only issue is how sweet they taste! I'm not much of a soda person, to begin with, but I often find myself watering them down with seltzer to make them less syrupy and sweet. I would say Poppi are great for soda lovers but not my favorite beverage.

  • Love this prebiotic soda the orange and strawberry lemon are my favorite!!!! And I think this is better than the competitors brand!

  • Im a big sparkling drink kinda girl. A bit of an after taste. Like the health benefits but not a huge fan but maybe just need to try each flavor before giving it’s a proper review.

  • Poppi is a great low calorie alternative to soda and the prebiotics seem to be helping my gut health as well. Not every flavor is for me, but I really love the orange. Taste great and is great for you, what more could you ask for.

  • Good concept, but they miss they mark when it comes to their ingredient list. They add "natural flavors" and can sugar which can actually disrupt gut health which is opposite of what they promote. While it is a better alternative to regular soda, if you are looking for a true gut friendly soda opt for Olipop.

  • Deeeelicious! Yummy and tasty. I love the grape flavor the most but am willing to drink any of the cans available to me.

    They are not easy to find but worth the search.

  • I think the flavors are better than olipop. I did fully believe I had food poisoning when I first had one, so use with caution!

  • I hate the taste of apple cider vinegar - but poppi does such a great job masking the taste and making enjoyable gut friendly drinks.

    Some flavors are too sweet! Wish their was more flavor and less sweetness.
