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.

  • I like these but there's a strong aftertaste of the sweetener used . They feel a bit overpriced?

  • I tried the raspberry rose and strawberry lemon flavors. I really liked the flavor of the raspberry one, however cannot attest to how much it improved my gut health as I didn’t observe a notable difference after drinking the soda. I wasn’t as big of a fan of the strawberry lemon flavor, I think the strawberry flavor was a bit too strong, but other than that I would love to try more flavors of Poppi, and will pick up some more at my next grocery trip!

  • I just started drinking this soda and I absolutely love it! I crave it every day at my favorite flavor is the cherry one! I can feel it helping my stomach and it tastes divine!

  • A lot of great flavors. Satisfies the craving for a bubbly beverage.

  • I am obsessed with the strawberry lemonade! Other prebiotic soda can have a strong gingery taste but Poppi does not!

  • I like it as a soda substitute and it tastes a little funky but you get used to it.

  • Fun flavors that make you crave another can. I love that these contain prebiotics and without excessive sugar. I see these everywhere I go so I don't have to go to s specialty store to find my fix. If you are thinking about doing something nice for your body today - drink one of these!!!

  • Poppi is a wonderful soda alternative! I love the Doc Pop and root beer flavors the best. They have much better ingredients than regular soda but still do have added sugars and “natural flavors”. Still better for you than regular soda and with a great taste!

  • The cherry cola is meh, the strawberry is yummy! They are kind of overpriced though. This economy doesn’t allow for$ 3 cans of soda

  • I love Poppi! The flavor is very apparent. Strawberry Lemon, Orange, and Raspberry Rose are my favorites that I have repurchased! The Cola is good but earthy, so if you don’t like the taste of those natural colas then I don’t think you will like it. I get them at target!

  • I love Poppi! It is my go to drink when I want something besides water with dinner and don’t want to drink. It doesn’t taste quite like the sodas they compare to but I prefer these lighter flavors. The orange one is my favorite.

  • I’ve only tried one flavor but it honestly just tasted like a diet seltzer water , not really a fan but super cute packaging.

  • Love the idea behind this soda. Unfortunately I bought one single from target and I think it may have been bad. The taste was not too great.

  • I seriously love Poppi and I really wish more stores near me carried it! Flavors blow competitors out of the water and it satisfies my cravings for soda-like bevvys. I don't get the stevia/aspartame after taste mentioned in other reviews. Branding is adorable - I'm their #1 fan.

  • a great alternative to soda! some flavors are better than others (cherry limeade or orange are my fav)

  • They are generally good, but the flavors fall a little flat to me compared to other similar brands.

  • Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of the carbonation of these compared to the flavor. I know they are trying to cut down on excessive sugar, but I'm not the biggest fan. A couple of my friends absolutely love these and have them all the time. They are a good place to start if you are looking for a healthier soda option, but wasn't my favorite.
