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.

  • poppi has quickly become a newfound addiction! so yummy, refreshing, and just the right about of sweet for a little pick-me-up. I love knowing i’m giving my gut a little bit of love!

    would love to see bigger sizes for sharing!

  • As others have indicated, some flavors are better than others. I liked the ginger lime; the orange and strawberry lemonade were a little more artificial tasting to me (as someone else said the orange tastes like Fanta, which is great if you're looking for that but I wasn't)-- I know there are no artificial flavors, but I think it's because it tasted a little more *artificially sweet* somehow? I eventually realized there's stevia in it, which I'm generally not a huge fan of because this doesn't get counted as part of the sugars in the nutrition label and makes it sweeter than appears.

    Less stevia. Wanted these to taste more fresh than they do, and I think it's because of that.

  • I'm not usually a soda fan and really don't like sparkling water/seltzer drinks, but I love the sweetness of Poppi! The cans are so cute. Bought a whole case during Black Friday :)

  • I’ve tried all of the flavors and LOVE them, they are refreshing and light!

  • Yummy! Does not have a harsh apple cider vinegar taste. Pretty sweet flavor (Raspberry Rose).

  • I wish I could drink these because there is so much hype around them and the drops, but sadly I am allergic to stevia and monkfruit and generally do not like alternative sweetners to cane sugar. Would love to try, but as of right now will not be trying again!

  • I love the flavors of Poppi. It's a prebiotic soda so I feel better about myself when I drink this over other traditional sugary sodas. It also contains apple cider vinegar which contributes to their tasty flavors as well as having health benefits. I really enjoy the fun designs on the cans of soda also!

  • Poppi is my go to drink when I want a healthy and tasty soda. I love the unique flavors! The drinks don't have an aftertaste and they go down smoothly. They are low on calories, which is also a bonus!

  • I'm not 100% sure why, but these make me extremely bloated. It may be the artificial sweeteners or the inulin, but my stomach does not like Poppi sodas. Regardless, they still taste very good, and my favorite is Cherry Lime.

  • don’t love poppi. i am a health girly through and through and i love olipop and the mushroom soda from GT synergy. but i dont love poppi because it just tastes like a mediocre soda with ACV in it. not great. the branding is misleading

  • I recently tried Poppi Prebiotic Soda, and it’s become my new favorite fizzy drink—offering a healthier twist on traditional soda without sacrificing flavor. I’m hooked. Poppi is a delicious, functional soda that satisfies cravings while supporting gut health.

  • I know many people love Poppi but I don’t understand the hype. It tastes good but does not satisfy my craving for a real soda. I also don’t really know how healthy of an alternative it is. I don’t spend my own money on it.

  • Not my favorite soda, especially since it's not even considered a healthy probiotic soda, but the rasberry rose tasted kinda good, I'm just not much of a soda person anyways so if I am going to indulge I would want it to have some kind of benefits.

  • Mmm I absolutely love the taste of these drinks! They have to be one of my favorite drinks to have. It's the perfect drink to have while doing my regular stuff. It's so tasty and flavorfull! I love buying theses!!!

  • It's all about which flavor you pick - some are delicious and leave me wanting more. Others have a terrible fake food taste and completely taste like chemicals. If you're truly looking for a new soda, try the various flavors. If not, maybe stay away.

  • I had stopped drinking soda 16 years ago. My daughter brought me the poppi home and told me to try this that it’s like soda but has probiotics and low sugar in it. To my surprise it was very good I felt like I was drinking soda again. Flavors are very good.

  • The reality is that it's sold as a healthy product that provides many health benefits, and nothing could be further from the truth. While it's certainly better than a sugary cola, it's also not good to drink too much of it. They need to be very careful with their misleading advertising. We'll have to see how it changes now with their massive investment in formula; let's hope it stays the same.
