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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Super fun flavors and graphics, taste great especially when you see the very low sugar content. A fun, non-fermented alternative to kombucha

    I find the formulas in some of the flavors to be a bit too sweet

  • The packaging is cute but the flavor was less exciting. I wish it was either, lighter in flavor or a bit more tart. Something is missing for me. I wouldn’t turn one down if offered but I wouldn’t buy it again.

  • love the flavors of Poppi and really doesn't make you feel crappy after like most carbonated drinks.

  • I love how Poppi makes me feel when I drink it! I love their playful branding and the taste is way better than other similar drinks.

    Nothing!

  • Absolutely delicious! Super refreshing and fruity without any artificial aftertaste!

  • I love Poppi! One of the best soda alternatives I've had. I used to be a big soda drinker and the Classic Cola and Doc Pop really do satisfy that craving. Plus, it makes me feel a lot better since it's low cal, low sugar, and has prebiotics! I haven't tried many of the fruity flavors, but Raspberry Rose and Strawberry Lemon were not bad.

    Can't think of anything that I'd change!

  • Love the strawberry lemon flavor. So good!

    Sell more 4 packs in stores

  • Could you make this at home? Technically yes. It’s just flavor, apple cider vinegar, and carbonated water. But, is this a convenient and tasty way to have a bubbly beverage that won’t jeopardize your health? Also yes 👍

  • My favorite soda alternative! My go-to flavors are the cola (it's the closest I have found to regular cola taste, and with a squeeze of fresh lemon is delicious), strawberry lemon and raspberry rose. The Poppi cans are just sweet enough to differentiate from flavored seltzers, which can become tiring to drink repeatedly. I love how these spice up my drink routine without compromising on my health.

  • These are very enjoyable. I found these on a whim and the packaging is what brought me in. These do not have that powdery feeling like many “healthy” sodas have. Flavors are also pretty spot on too.

  • It’s better than I thought it would and a good alternative to sugar heavy drinks.

  • This is my go-to drink when I am craving a sparkling sweet & fruity profile without feeling gross after. Think a fun gummy bear in flavored soda form!! Love the natural ingredients and low sugar count, plus, doesn't have that weird stevia taste after. Also, how cute is the packaging?

  • Along with Olipop, I LOVE Poppi. can't believe I'm drinking ACV bc of this. Flavors are so tasty and I love the colors on each of the cans. It's so fun and exciting.
