Poppi reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

    It's on the expensive side
