  • Creamy, smooth oat milk
  • Excellent frothing capability
  • Versatile plant-based products
  • Enjoyable single serve drinks
  • Watery when self-frothed
  • Slight bitter flavor
  • Oily canned drinks
  • Higher price point

Minor Figures is highly appreciated for its creamy, smooth oat milk that froths well, making it ideal for coffee lovers. Their plant-based products including single serve lattes and matcha drinks are also enjoyed. However, some have found their oat milk a bit watery with a slight bitter flavor when frothed for coffee, and their canned drinks have been reported to have an oily taste due to the addition of sunflower oil.

  • The oat milk itself is an ordinary nice tasting drink but I love their brand concept. The icons they have on their packaging is very fun and unique.

  • I received this through a Vegan Cuts box, and I've been trying to think of the name of it ever since! One of my favorite oat milks I've ever tried, very rich and creamy and went well in both my morning coffee and cereal. I used the barista blend, and it almost seemed to crime to just put it in cereal. Now I need to go by this in bulk.

  • I tried their barista oat milk and it will be my new go-to for coffee. It comes in a smaller carton and is the size is great for people who use it coffee almost exclusively. The size usually lasts me around a week. I am pretty picky about my oat milk and dislike the taste of the oat milk from companies like Oatly and Califa. This is sold at a good price point in my grocery store. It tastes great and has such fun branding!

  • I love this oat milk because it has a great sweet taste to it. It is creamy and works well when I use it as a base for making boba tea.

  • Minor Figures Barista Oat is hands down the creamiest, smoothest oat milk around. It plays nice with hot coffee, froths like a champ, and adds a hint of sweet magic to your cup. This oat milk is a game-changer for coffee lovers, so give it a go and thank me later!

  • I find this oat milk MUCH tastier than Oatly because it's less watery. I've also tried one of their lattes and liked it a lot. The branding is fun as well. If I see this in stores I'd probably opt for it over Oatly nothing else but taste considered.

    Feedback

    I wish the oat milk containers were a bit bigger for $6.

  • After finding most other oat milks unremarkable and pretty much the same, I was pleasantly surprised by Minor Figures. There's a silkiness and body to the oat milk that adds more to my coffee, hot and cold, and gives a little extra coffee shop / barista feel. Nice simple branding.

  • On a trip to St. Louis, Missouri, I stumbled across a small market on the Delmar Loop. I needed caffeine and randomly found this brand I’ve never seen before! I’m a fiend for packaging, so that’s why I grabbed it. I’m also lactose intolerant, so instantly seeing “oat latte” sold me too. But luckily, as soon as I took a sip, I was in love! My ideal coffee/latte, is just plain coffee or espresso, with milk. Little to no sweetener or flavoring. So to see the ingredients were literally just coffee, oats, sunflower oil and sea salt, I was so happy!! I may or may not have instantly bought a pack of 12 on their website already 🫣

  • I tried out their oat milk and it's excellent! Super smooth. Great packaging. Tastes great. Nothing to complain about!

  • Their coffee in a can is amazing. And their long life oat milk, also really good. It's my go-to oat milk.

  • really didn't like the oat milk when i tried frothing it for coffee by myself (too watery/slight bitter flavor), but i haven't had any issues with it when coffee shops have their oat milk as their oat milk of choice. maybe the barista oat tastes different and has a different consistency?

  • I am typically not an oat milk fan, but I do like the taste of this one! I have used it with cold brew made at home or in lattes. I also have tried their single serve lattes and matcha drinks and I have enjoyed those as well for a quick on the go caffeine boost w/ a milk alternative.

  • If you know me, you know that I'm a fan of the underdogs! Minor Figures decided to enter a crowded place of plant based milk, and I think they've succeeded because I'm a fan. The milk froths as equally well as whole milk and has even better ingredients than Oatly although the pricing can tread above waters depending on the oz and flavor. I love that they have their own canned bevvys like chai, oat, and matcha lattes which can be found at your Erewhon's or cafes.

  • Absolutely love Minor Figures. Incredible taste, great branding and all-round solid products. Can't wait to see what they come up with next. Could be a tiny bit cheaper, but taste delivers.

  • They still had that weird canned coffee taste. These also have sunflower oil from the oat milk, so they just felt & tasted oily in my opinion. I did not like it, which was disappointing because they're so hyped.

  • Overall, I LOVE the branding of this. It's so fun to look at. It also tastes wonderful, so what more could you want?

  • I cannot speak highly enough about Minor Figures. I first tried them in a Misfits Market box and have since moved into their coffee and chai cans. Their premade products are amazing! Their milk, however, is the best product they have. I love smaller containers of oat milk as it takes me a while to get through them and they've mastered the perfect size container. The milk blends perfectly into whatever food I'm cooking and tastes amazing mixed with coffee and teas that I make myself. It also froths perfectly!
