Reviews mention

  • Creamy, luxurious mouthfeel
  • Reliable, barista-grade frothing
  • Smooth, neutral oat flavor
  • Versatile, beverage performance
  • Additive-heavy ingredient list
  • Seed oil, rapeseed inclusion
  • Occasional digestive discomfort
  • Sometimes overly sweet taste

Oatly impresses in reviews for café-worthy performance—its Barista Edition froths reliably and delivers a creamy, smooth texture that elevates coffee, matcha, and lattes—while dividing opinion over formulation. Fans praise the rich mouthfeel, neutral-to-oaty flavor, and versatility across baking, cereal, and smoothies; critics cite seed/rapeseed oils, gums/additives, sweetness, and occasional digestive upset as drawbacks. Overall, Oatly is considered a top-tasting, highly consistent oat milk for beverages, but less appealing to buyers prioritizing ultra‑clean ingredients.

  • As someone who breaks out from dairy, Oatly has changed the game for me. The taste is just amazing and has changed how I perceive any coffee with milk.

    Feedback

    Taking away one point for the price. While I understand that mylks are a little more difficult to distill, I am holding out for Oatly to come in at a more affordable price point.

  • I have conflicting views on this brand. Their oat milk is by far my favorite milk alternative in taste and texture - but they have low quality oil in the ingredient list which is something I look to avoid - and they are owned by a super large company that is known for deforestation despite the company claiming to value the environment.

    Feedback

    Make an oil free version of their milks.

  • pretty dense/thick. the FDA recall is also...not great!!

  • Oatly is simply the best. It foams up like no tomorrow, is a perfect match for any latte, and will elevate your latte drinking experience. I wrote to their email telling them how much I love the brand, and they even sent me merch!

    Feedback

    Nothing, keep it up!

  • best oat milk for coffee, also using it for making sauces tbh

  • This is my absolute favorite oat milk brand! The full-fat version is probably my favorite as it is the creamiest and most blended oat milk I have ever tried. My lattes don't taste the same without it.

  • While I love the taste of Oatly, I think there are superior Oat Milks out there. Its creamy which I like but the ingredients are full of "natural flavors'" which we all know are chemicals. For a barista edition drink, it doesn't froth that much better than the normal Oatly edition

    Feedback

    Less chemicals, more frothing

  • I tried this brand through a local co-op. The brand is reputable and the product is good.

    Feedback

    Larger sizes. More flavor options.

  • Top on the market for grain milk(oat cream, custard, barista savvy oat milk)The selection of products which are all vegan is outstanding. Premier example of innovation and creative from the heart.

    keep it coming

  • Taste is great, love how creamy it makes your drinks.

    Feedback

    I recently noticed how severely processed it is. The ingredient list is so long and with things I can’t event pronounce.

  • We’re not big milk drinkers in my household, but when we need something for cereal or coffee, Oatly is our go-to. The flavor is a little sweet but not overpowering, and a really perfect complement to most cereals.

  • There’s a lot of Oat milks out there and Oatly is certainly one of the top contenders! Creamy, mildly sweet, and tasty (especially the barista-style one prepared at your local coffee shop).

    Feedback

    Lower price! As the Oat milk trend has gained popularity, price has gone up and up! While Oatly is super yummy, I could make it at home for so much less money!

  • This tastes great. It also froths really well. I am a fan and use it all the time

    Feedback

    Nothing it is great.

  • I tried it because of the unique packaging and that it was very sustainable and recyclable. I enjoyed the flavor with cereal, coffee, tea, and other foods.

    Feedback

    I wish you could add instructions on how this carton can be reused in a environmentally friendly way in the garden or in the house… Stuff like that.

  • Love the taste and quality! Best non diary option.

    Feedback

    Try packaging that is fully recyclable. No more plastic parts if possible!

  • gets the job done and pretty good for hot drinks , but i wouldn’t say it’s the best oatmilk brand

  • I used to not like oat milk but it’s really grown on me. Oatly is my favorite and kickstarted my path towards liking the texture and taste.

  • I love their oatly barista option. I am Italian and love a good cappuccino and I must admit that with Oatly you don't miss out.

  • Loved this brand for sometime. Great packaging, good options and tastes great.

    Feedback

    Overall great!

  • It works and tastes fine but they could ease up on the harmful ingredients, especially when you're paying upwards of $5-6 dollars per package. I've gone ahead and removed milk from my grocery list since. I now make oat milk at home and it's truly the easiest thing you'll ever do. Oats, water, nut bag & blender. Done. 10 seconds. Maybe less. As healthy as can be and far cheaper
