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.

  • I just find the taste of these and the flavors to be lacking compared to the competitors in the market - of which there are a lot of now. Tastes kinda fake to me.

  • I love the Cherry Limeade and Raspberry Rose. A great alternative to soda and more delicious than a flavored water.

  • On a flavor composition level I don’t enjoy this drink and tend to not reach for it in a store.

    Feedback

    I think the flavors could use a little innovation because they’re all lacking a bit and aren’t as refreshing or satisfying as others on the market.

  • I really loved the orange flavor, but wasn’t crazy about the raspberry rose.

    Feedback

    A little expensive

  • Poppi is a lovely prebiotic soda that I started drinking as an alternative to sparkling water and I've found it more satisfying and helpful for my tum-tum. There are TONS of flavors and I haven't tried all of them yet, but of those that I've had, they closely resemble the true flavor profile of the label (ex: the Cola flavor tastes like a nice Cola).

    Try a few flavors that you usually like the soda equivalent to see what works best for you.

  • Orange Poppi

    Feedback

    I first tried this product at a trendy cafe in my neighborhood and immediately wanted a supply for my fridge. My favorite is the orange. I like that it’s low in sugar and is good for gut health.

  • I was ready to love this product. I loved the design of the cans and am always looking for new ways to integrate probiotics in my life. However, these drinks had a taste that was unpleasantly artificial to me.

    Feedback

    If you don’t mind sugar replacements, you might like this drink more than I did.

  • One of my fave brands in this category + love the cute packaging. The strawberry lemonade is my absolute favorite, so I haven't tried out many of the others. Their pricing isn't too bad compared to other brands, but it isn't an everyday item for me, nor is it a fridge staple. I usually pick this up if I happen to be shopping in-person at a WFM.

  • LOVE! have tried a number of flavors, one of the best in this space if not the best

  • I originally bought Poppi to act as a substitute to alcohol as I have cut back my intake in that area significantly. I like the taste of Poppi drinks and every flavor I have tried so far has been good. I usually wait for them to go on sale at my local Sprouts, but I would certainly buy these regardless if they were on sale. Highly recommend as a great soda or alcohol alternative.

    I purchased Poppi to serve as a replacement to my weekly cocktails. This helps quite a bit as the flavor and sparkling water aspects are nice, without being high in calories. I also like the prebiotics that are in the soda. Nice taste and not too expensive.

  • I love Poppi! They have different flavors from other prebiotics drinks, my favorites are the raspberry rose and strawberry lemon with an occasional orange!

  • I usually like a sweet drink every now and then. I hate drinks that use Splenda or substitute sweeter. However, this is a great substitute and it does not have a weird taste or aftertaste. This is something I have definitely repurchased a few times now and I have no regrets.

    Feedback

    Love this overall, can't wait for them to expand the flavors. I definitely think this is a great sub for someone who regularly drinks sodas or sweet drinks.

  • Drinking a poppi orange soda has all the taste of a Fanta with none of the guilt! I love how flavorful poppi is - and how it doesn't taste artificial. And I feel good about drinking it!

    Feedback

    I wish there were more flavors that could serve as a replacement to other more traditional sodas. Ollipop has a cola and a root beer option, which Poppi is missing.

  • I really love Poppi and will select it 8/10 times over a soda alternative when I'm loooking for a canned drink! Orange and Strawberry-Lemon are my favorite flavors. Like that in most cases, they're not trying to replicate a traditional soda flavor, but rather introduces new flavors.

  • Poppi is fine. I'll buy one occasionally, but in today's overcrowded, lets call it "neo-beverage" market, they don't stand out from the crowd for me.

    Feedback

    There's a heaviness and medicinal taste for me. To be frank, I prefer Olipop when I'm buying a neo-soda.

  • These are solid soda-adjacent drinks, but I either prefer competitors or kombucha if I want my probiotic fix.

  • I’ve been trying to cut down on sugar but still crave the taste and experience of a good soda. Poppi feels like a healthier swap, and the flavors and packaging are very original!
