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.

  • Love the taste of these drinks. They have good fruity flavors. Don’t love the soda flavors as much. It’s a nice mocktail to end the day when I need something sweet and refreshing. Also use as an afternoon treat.

  • Tried the Raspberry Rose and it was pretty good. Flavor wasn’t super in-your-face like a Fanta or another sugary soda, but it also wasn’t a LaCroix…nice balanced middle of bubbles and raspberry. I liked that they used cane sugar and apple cider vinegar - overall a tasty drink and available at most supermarkets.

  • OMGGG! It taste and smells amazing :) I had the Watermelon one first, so refreshing I was so surprised to be honest. Because it still is sweet but not overpowering at all. The fact that it has probiotics makes it even better. As if that was possible!!!

  • I love Poppi! I've tasted only 4 flavors and they are all amazing, strawberry lemonade is my fave. Although I've stopped drinking soda, sometimes I crave the sweet carbonation and this definitely curbs it. Plus, you can feel good about drinking it since it's low cal, has probiotics and clean ingredients. I always keep my refrigerator stocked with it!

  • I hardly ever host or go to a party without some Poppis in tow. My favorites are the cherry limeade and cherry cola, but I'll drink pretty much any of them. (Rootbeer used to be the one I would avoid, but the recent reformulation is definitely an improvement.)

  • Have tried every single flavor, my favorites have to be the new root beer, orange cream, and the new fruit punch! They are all so good and I love that’s it’s only 25 calories per drink. They don’t make me sick to my stomach like regular soda! Love poppi!

  • I'm such a fan of Poppi. Cherry Cola is my favorite—but I've tried a few flavors. I don't think any of them are equivalents to the the more classic soda brand equivalents 👀 but they don't need to be! They're their own thing, and delicious.

  • I bought the lemon lime flavor and strawberry lemon flavor. I honestly didn't really like since I already know the flavor of sprite. It also doesn't taste so good it tastes like fake sugar and it is flatter.

  • Poppi, I saw it at the store one day and was curious. I read the ingredients and became intrigued. I’m excited to try new products and gave ginger lime and strawberry lemonade a shot. The taste was true to the ingredients, crisp and delightful. I didn’t feel bloated or overwhelmed after drinking. I felt satisfied. In fact this product has become a staple in my fridge. Well done Poppi, thank you!

  • I absolutely love all of the flavors of Poppi drinks, probably the cola flavor is my favorite, although it's hard to choose! And the best part is they make soda so much healthier and non-taboo! I love the colorful, fun design too!

  • If you like sparkling water then you should try Poppi. I will say it’s an acquired taste so go in with an open mind. It’s definitely not as sweet as soda but better for you. It’s a great light taste and not overpowering with either flavor. I enjoyed it and will continue to buy and try different flavors.

  • Poppi is one of my favorite sodas ever! I would have to say my favorite is Watermelon. The brand is always so accommodating and I would happily shop Poppi forever!

  • Truly LOVE this brand and product. I dream to work with them, but for now I’ll keep buying everything they put out! The Docpop, grape and watermelon are my favorites but they are all good! Cherry limeade tastes just like you went through the sonic drive thru. I am thankful for a better alternative because we all need a little pick me up sometimes, caffeinated or not! I love a yummy and cute little drink to have and Poppi does just that!!! I have gotten so many of my friends hooked on these because I post so much about them

  • I’ve been looking for a great tasting, good for your gut health and health in general drink for awhile now and I finally it with POPPI! The choice of flavors is amazing I can’t even tell you which one is my favorite! Watermelon, cherry limeade, grape, orange, strawberry lemon…how can I even choose?! And let me tell you the taste is something you will think came out of one of your favorite soda cans, only better! And with 5 grams of sugar or less! Also contains prebiotics and apple cider vinegar for your gut health and microbiome as well as immunity boosters for your health. Now I have tried other drinks to get these benefits but none can even COMPETE with Poppi. I have one every day and I’ve never felt better! I cannot suggest this drink more and even if you don’t care about the extra health benefits Poppi is just THAT DARN GOOD. I highly recommend trying some as soon as you can! You won’t reget it!

  • Was totally open to trying these when they 1st came out due to having an obsession with the Braggs ACV drinks, and am SO glad I did. I usually don't drink soda because it's just empty calories and a ton of sugar, and am happy to report that these good for gut sodas are fantastic. So I know everyone likes La Croix but I'm not one of those people.....it barely has flavor and isn't even a little sweet, and was nervous that Poppi would be kinda flavorless or super mild. These drinks are bold.....they pack a ton of flavor and aren't overly sweet while being incredibly refreshing. Haven't met a Poppi flavor I didn't like. Huge recommend as they also help an upset stomach and have personally reduced daily bloating.

  • I’ve been drinking Poppi consistently for the past 2 -3 years. I discovered this beverage during the pandemic when I was trying to cut soda out of my life. I haven’t looked back! I drink one daily and find that the flavor is far better than any other soda alternative beverage. It doesn’t take like fake sweetener which is major for me. I was always a raspberry rose of orange flavored girl but THEN the grape flavor came out and I just love it too much haha.

  • I kept getting this brand confused with Oli Pop - I'm curious which probiotic pop was first! I enjoy the branding of Poppi more. I believe Poppi has a tad more sugar but still very low. I tried the Watermelon one - it was the only one left at the shop I went to. Would like to try more, the sweetness was a little much for me. Update: I like the Raspberry Rose flavor!

  • If my options were to drink actual soda, or Poppi, I would choose Poppi every day of the week. I haven't tried all the flavors but it's not my first choice when it comes to prebiotic sodas.

  • Doc Pop is my favorite Poppi flavor!It has the hint of a Dr Pepper but you definitely can feel all of the missing sugar. If you're looking for a more healthy alternative to the regular soda, this is your pick!

  • I absolutely love Poppi! It’s the perfect drink for anyone who wants to enjoy a refreshing, bubbly beverage without all the sugar and artificial ingredients. The apple cider vinegar base is not only good for digestion but also helps with boosting my gut health, and I can definitely feel the benefits.
