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.

  • 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!

  • Meh. Unfortunately, I really wanted to love these but the heavy taste of syrup was too much to not forget.

  • Definitely don’t get enough probiotics in my diet and so having a drink form is new! I love the variety of flavors offered, and the gut health probiotics in the drink. Cute packaging and great taste!

    Feedback

    Too much sugar even though it is a low sugar beverage, too sweet.

  • Love the flavor combos, taste and look of Poppi. Very fun.

  • I love the drink and knowing it had prebiotics makes it even better!

  • Love the cute packaging and fun, bright colors. The taste is really good and is comparable to a lot of the other flavored drink companies (even ones with added sugar). I love that it is prebiotic and good for you while not tasting bad.

    They are starting to be found in a lot of smaller stores which I love! Maybe expanding flavors or getting into seasonal items

  • Tried the raspberry rose and loved it. Super tasty + packaging is so fun and eye catching.

  • Honestly one of my favorite low-sugar and non-alcoholic flavored beverages out there. The flavors are delicious without being too sweet or overpowering. The packaging is also very pretty and cute :)

    Feedback

    More new flavors! And maybe less artificial sweeteners / additives.

  • Overall I think the flavors and experience is great. I do think that the apple cider vinegar taste can be a little prominent for those who dislike that flavor.

    Feedback

    Wish it was cheaper but otherwise I like the benefits of a prebiotic soda!

  • It has great flavor and doesn’t make your stomach hurt. You can’t taste the apple cider vinegar at all. Delicious! But a smidge hard to find in stores

    Feedback

    I would love larger packs

  • Love the packaging. Love was featured on shark tank. I don’t drink soda so didn’t need this as a replacement, but enjoy it. Doesn’t taste fake like other healthier sodas.

  • The cans are so aesthetic, the flavors are delicious (speaking from someone who doesn't like soda/carbonated drinks), and I have fun drinking them!

    Feedback

    It's on the expensive side

  • One of my favorite beverage brands! I like that it doesn't taste too syrupy, and it's very aromatic and refreshing. Strawberry lemon is my favorite, but I also love raspberry rose and (I believe I've had it once) orange. I don't drink it for the health benefits, so I haven't paid attention to whether it affects my gut or not.

    While I personally don't notice the ACV taste, some people I've shown it to do. The ones mentioned above don't taste of ACV to me, but I wasn't so much a fan of ginger lime.

  • I've tried other prebiotic soda-replacements and this definitely tastes better than those. I tried the Ginger Lime flavor, and it's still very obviously flavored with Stevia but the ginger flavor is stronger than I'd expect with something like this. The packaging is very cute too.
