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.

  • 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!

    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

    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

  • 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.

  • I'm a sucker for these prebiotic sodas! Better still–and I can't say this for every seltzer–I genuinely love every flavor. I'm unsure if I've noticed any glaring gut improvements, but I have a sensitive stomach and it definitely doesn't irritate it. Love that it's slightly sweeter and tangier than a Spindrift or LaCroix.

    Pricing is still very high for canned soda, but I've noticed that Whole Foods and Target run deals quite frequently––that's usually when I stock up.

  • I generally hate soda replacements because I can immediately taste the stevia or whatever sugar substitute they use, but Poppi is different. They have a great variety of flavors, and they're not *so* healthy that they taste terrible or *so* unhealthy that you might as well just drink a coke. Perfect happy medium.

    Feedback

    Too expensive per-can, at least when you buy them from a grocery store (like, $2.50-3 is crazy). Not sure if this is true but the colorful plastic wrapper they put around the aluminum can itself feels like it's not recycleable so I always feel guilty when I put it in my recycling bin.

  • A little too sweet for my taste. I appreciate the prebiotic components, but there are alternative "healthy sodas" that I much prefer. Why add 3+ forms of sugar and all those stabilizers?

    Feedback

    too many additives: stevia, tartaric acid, natural flavors (which we know are not natural), agave inulin, AND sugar.

  • Poppi is delicious! I love sparkling water and appreciate that they include probiotics and very little sugar. Raspberry Rose and Strawberry Lemonade were my favorites.

  • Love the strawberry lemonade flavor, and love that there's very little added sugar.
