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.

  • Brand that got me into oat milk years ago, have tried other brands since and oatly tastes the best. Froths the best for lattes and good for general drinking. The full fat is my favorite.

  • I recently made the switch to you plant milk and Oatly really gave a good first impression! Their products are very smooth and I especially love putting them in coffee or with cereal!

    Feedback

    I wish they had a creamer

  • Best oat milk for espresso-based drinks - amazing froth!

    Feedback

    Barista edition is not available at groceries - would love to see them there!

  • I’ve purchased Oatly on multiple occasions, one of my favorite brands of oat milk. Tastes how you expect it to taste and it’s a good alternative to regular milk or almond milk.

    It could stay fresh longer.

  • Oatly has reshaped my opinion on milk. Now dairy is nasty sweet to me. Oatly’s also gluten free, so that’s so wonderful to be able to know and trust.

  • The best oatmilk out there. Also the OG! Smooth, creamy, delicious and the macros aren’t bad!

    Less sugar!

  • This is the oat milk at starbucks and I order it every time I’m there for a latte! Yummy!

    Feedback

    Only thing I’ve heard, but haven’t researched, is the ingredients might not be 100% oat milk and has some olive oil (?).

  • I love the branding.

    Feedback

    They use fake sugars & gums. Not very healthy, but made to look healthy. false advertising.

  • My favorite oat milk. Super creamy. Froths well for coffee.

  • Literally the only oatmilk that cold foams up that ive found. The best is the full fat but like duh

  • My favorite milk brand! It’s perfect in coffee bc its creamy and sweet (sometimes I’ll even just have a glass of it straight). I do prefer the low fat version for cereal etc. bc it is a little high on calories. Overall, it’s definitely the best tasting oat milk I’ve tried.

    Feedback

    I do wish it was a bit healthier and slightly cheaper.

  • So creamy! The superior dairy free milk brand for sure

  • Great product, really tasty and great consistency. I use it all the time now.

  • it's so creamy and I love the packaging. but it also has a gummy texture to the creaminess, and the ingredients are a huge turn off. feels like barista clout

    Feedback

    this oat milk would easily become a favorite if the ingredients were more clean, because the packaging and influence it already has it awesome

  • Loved adding this into my morning coffee! Made it creamy and delicious, easy going in and down.

  • I always come back to Oatly. It’s creamy without being too thick not too sweet. It’s the perfect blend. I drink it consistently and even when I’ve tried other brands it doesn’t compare.

  • I really like the creaminess of oat milk when compared to almond milk. My go-to Starbucks order is a cafe misto with Oatly oat milk and it’s delicious and decadent. My biggest complaint is that the third ingredient in Oatly is vegetable oil.

    Feedback

    Take out the vegetable oil and other additives! Why can’t oatmilk just be oats and water?

  • I love how many different products they have. I've tried their yogurt, milk, and even their soft serve at a baseball park! It's great to see this brand making plant based products so accessible in so many places. I also like their focus on climate impact.

    Feedback

    Oftentimes, I see this brand priced higher than other alternatives in stores. I wish they could bring the price down so more people could try it.

  • It’s a foamy milk. It’s the best to prepare homemade cappuccino. Taste good and not to sweet.
