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.

  • 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?

    n/a

  • 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.

    Nothing! More flavors please

  • I ordered three different flavors, just to be sure before I said anything. I'm a huge soda fan, so finding something that was a modicum healthier so I wouldn't have to give it up was a huge goal. Definitely drink it cold; I first tried their classic Cola, which was alright. I definitely felt the taste was there, but there was something overwhelmingly sweet about it. The Doc Pop though really blew me away. I have yet to try the rootbeer flavor tonight but that is the present goal. Overall it was fantastic.

    A little less Stevia, a little more cane sugar? Or at least, an all cane sugar option in the future would be lovely.

  • First of all, I’m a sucker for their branding. It’s so fun! Love that it doesn’t have a strong apple vinegar taste. The prebiotic benefit is also a plus. I’ve tried most of the flavors, but the strawberry lemonade is my favorite. I’d drink it everyday if it wasn’t as pricey. Worth the price when it’s on sale!

  • So bubbly, so fun. I love how they've successfully created a sparkling beverage that is low in sugar and full of healthy prebiotics. These are easy to find in most health food stores, and easier to spot with their funky, 70s inspired package design. These are a classic favorite among my friend group!

  • Delicious and super tasty drink with lots of benefits for you tummy. Love all the flavors and raspberry rose is my favorite.

    Slightly expensive

  • Great for gut health. Love the probiotics but some of the flavors are a bit hit or miss for me. It can taste a bit overly fruity in my opinion and a bit pricey for what it is. Love the concept of making convenient, sparkling probiotic drinks though!

    Taste and price

  • I am a big healthy soda stan. i love olipop, but more so for the savory side (cola, root beer) and poppi for the fruity flavors. I love being able to crack one open and have it compliment any meal or just sip on it in between meetings. the flavor profiles are great -- my fave is the raspberry rose.

  • I've found these types of drinks are often way too sweet, and this one isn't! It's the perfect amount of sweet, great flavors, and gorgeous packaging.

  • I've only tried a few of Poppi's flavors so far (Strawberry Lemon, Doc Pop, and Raspberry Rose), but have enjoyed those that I have tried! I found myself reaching for Poppi more often then Olipop when grocery shopping, and love that it is lower in sugar than typical soda. Bonus: I like their fun-colored cans!

  • Have tried Poppi as a replacement for my favorite sodas. I like most of the flavors that simulate other brands (Mountain Dew, Coke, etc.), but I haven't tried some of the wilder combinations. You're not quite getting a full soda effect, but it does hit the spot when you need it. The only reason I don't buy these more often is due to price—$ 2.50 a piece !

  • Poppi is a great alternative if you like to reach for soda. It’s better for your gut and comes in so many delicious flavors. Every one I have tried o have enjoyed. I feel better when I drink it, and my stomach is more settled.

  • I love Poppi, i find they have the least offensive aftertaste compared to other brands like Olipop. I know they received some flack this past year whether or not theyre actually healthy but I mean just don't drink more than one a day and they're def still healthier than a full sugar coke (no shame to coke drinkers though considering im one of them)

  • The Wild Berry flavor tastes just like a blue slushie, it’s my go to flavor if I want something sweeter. When I have friends over they almost always reach for Strawberry Lemon, so I’d recommend starting with that flavor if you’re new to Poppi. If you love the classic grape soda, the Grape flavor won’t disappoint.

  • It's ok, not my favorite taste because too weird but I love the package a lot. It's so refreshing when drink it cold.

  • I love the unique flavors and the extra bonus of prebiotics in this refreshing soda. There wasn't a flavor I didn't enjoy. As it is in most grocery stores, it was easy to find. And very reasonably priced.

  • I love the colorful cans and the drinks are delicious! It is a great alternative to sugary sodas that are not good for you. I would recommend drinking this over other sodas.

  • Poppi is my new favorite drink! It’s the perfect balance of flavor and fizz, and I love knowing it’s good for my gut health thanks to the prebiotics. The variety of flavors is amazing—grapefruit and strawberry lemon are my personal favorites. It’s a guilt-free soda alternative that actually makes me feel great after drinking it. Poppi is a game-changer for health-conscious soda lovers

  • They have good flavors, some are better than others, but I’m sure that’s subjective depending on your unique taste buds. For me, it was the right balance of being bubbly without being overpowering.

  • Poppi is a delightful drink that's both tasty and good for you. The perfect balance of sweet and tart, with a hint of apple cider vinegar. A guilt-free treat that keeps you hydrated and energized.
