  • Great ready made coffee in easy to transport cans. Their range of non-dairy milks are also pretty good and make a good alternative for hot milk for coffees.

    Make a boozy one...

  • Has been my go to oat milk for the last 6 months. Currently also started purchasing their individual cans of lattes and the chai one is my favorite! Love that is available at my grocery store now :)

  • This oat milk was so watery and had a bad flavor. I bought this in bulk and it was so hard to finish all of it because it was just so bad. I like the product design though.

    The actually oat milk itself needs to be creamy and better tasting.

  • Absolutely love these drinks. I have had a few occasions to try these at various private launches and PR events. The branding is very clever and the drinks actually taste REALLY good. + the milk is suuuuuper tasty, but a little on the expensive side. Always look forward to the event if I hear the Minor Figures name ;) PS can we also give a standing ovation to the creative team?! Well done on pulling together a strong brand, with consistent brand and content items across platforms. And they're B corp!!!

    Honestly, not a minor improvement comes to mind.

  • Smooth tasting oat milk, I get it in my imperfect foods delivery every week. It’s not a huge size but it’s perfect if you’re using it to add into coffee or matcha. Probably wouldn’t last me the week if I was using it for cereal.

  • overall decent canned coffee. not too sweet, which is nice but strong oat notes in many of the products.

  • I like the cartoons. Cool name. The canned coffee lattes are pretty good. The canned matcha latte wasn't my favorite.

    Feedback

    The matcha latte could maybe use some sweetener?

  • The tastiest canned coffees and lattes I’ve tried. Love the branding as well.

  • One of my favourite oat milks on the market. I think this brand was one of the first on the scene making top-notch oat milk. It does not taste like cow's milk but has a really creamy and rich flavour that pairs perfectly with coffee. I think this brand is the one that convinced me how good oat milk can be! I would consider the brand sustainable since its converted me away from dairy in my day to day coffee life (not a big fan of tetra pack)

    Its sometimes hard to find in store, which is why I sometimes buy earth's own barista blend in store (also very very good). The price is also a bit high and buying bulk doesn't give enough of a discount to make it worth it. I would also like if the oat milk containers came in larger sizes to reduce on packaging. I see cafes using these tiny 1L boxes to make lattes all day and it creates soooo much waste that could be reduced if they had larger packaging options.

  • I loved this product! It's not overly sweet and not too bitter for a coffee beverage. Each flavor I tried was delicious and I would definitely recommend as a substitute for your morning coffee or as a second pickup me through the day.

  • Some of the best oat milk out there! I don't think there's a better product on the market to make a latte with and there is a lot of competition. The texture and taste are just on point.

  • Great graphics and packaging and even better oat milk. My local cafe uses it and I can't get enough. It's smooth and creamy and their non-coffee products make even the worst coffee redeemable.

    Feedback

    Price. Premium goods demand a premium price, I understand, but it's an expensive habit for me, ha.

  • Love this brand. The Oat Mylk is my favourite & I love the anthropomorphic characters on the products. I also have some of their merch - high quality clothing with fun graphics.

  • Discovered this on a holiday once (tried the oat latte) and have been praying that I see this in supermarkets nearby ever since. Absolutely loved the taste, the packaging is cute and everything was well rounded and well 'blended', - maybe this part doesn't make a lot of sense, but I sometimes feel like you can taste parts coffee, parts alternative milk with pre-made alternative-milk coffees). Would 100% repurchase again.

  • Truly the best oat milk ever. When I was a barista, it was my favourite milk to steam and tastes miles better than any other milk alternative

  • 10/10 The Oar Latte is only 4 simple ingredients-coffee, oats, sunflower oil and sea salt! Best plant based coffee perfect pick me up 8oz size. Hard to find in US stores but Amazon does carry it.

  • Rather comparable to oatly products! That being said I don't think their barista oat milk is quite as frothy

  • Truly the best oat milk out there. Foams great and so tasty. I love it!!
