Oatly earns high marks in reviews for creamy, barista-friendly oat milks—especially Barista Edition and Full Fat—that steam, froth, and elevate coffee, tea, and baking, with many calling it the best-tasting oat milk. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some find certain versions watery or overly sweet, and many criticize the ingredient list (oils, gums, phosphates) and report digestive upset or blood-sugar spikes, while a minority prefer competitors’ thicker texture.

  • I’ve tried all the oat milks out there and this is by far the creamiest and most delicious.

    Feedback

    I wish the full fat blue box could be found in smaller sizes in more grocery stores!

  • Delicious! I have tried all of the milk alternatives and this is the best by far. Not only compared to almond, soy etc — but it is the best in category for Oat Milk. I gave it to my picky 6 year old on cereal and he didn't notcis the difference other than it tasted BETTER than cow's milk.

    Would love for the price to drop but willing to pay a premium.

  • Obsessed - amazing quality, amazing variety of products - ALL of them taste great. I'm in the UK and I was dying to find coffee creamers similar to the ones you get in the USA and stumbled across the Oatly Cream recommendation on a Reddit chat between US expats in the UK. OBSESSED.

    Website is a bit of a minefield - too much going on

  • I love using Oatly, and their Barista version makes for an amazing tasting coffee! I have worked with other milk alternatives and it doesn’t give the same texture when steaming milk - this however does the job perfectly! I have even convinced customers to move to oat milk from other alternative milks due to how well this product steams and produces a delicious white coffee.

  • I love oatly, it turns any coffee into a rich decadent experience!

    Feedback

    Considerably high calorie, I treat it like heavy creamer!

  • I’ve drank oat milk for a really long time and I’ve got to say that this is one of the best ones I’ve ever had!

    Feedback

    Nothing really, I loved it!

  • the best oat milk wonderfully creamy and perfect for making coffees.

    Feedback

    nothing as this product is perfect as is

  • This is my favorite brand of oat milk. I prefer the extra creamy kind.

  • Super yummy, I believe there is an oatmeal cookie flavor which is my favorite!!

    Feedback

    More flavors!

  • This is the best oat milk I’ve found to use in my coffee it’s just the right amount of oaty

    Feedback

    I’d love to see flavored variations like vanilla and chocolate

  • The best milk period. Better than cow, almond, coconut, etc. It’s creamy and delicious for a latte and the chocolate oatly is straight up addictive.

  • My whole family loves Oatly. We buy it for our vegan daughter, but over time we have all started using it over dairy milk. The flavor is subtle with just the very natural sweetness that the oats bring. It is delicious by itself, in coffee, and over granola.

    It is really great - I think being educated about oat milk (does it expire? How long does it take? How will I know if it is no longer fresh? Do I need to shake it a lot) might be helpful. That sounds strange I guess, but we all know how traditional milk works - but how does it work w/ oat milk?

  • This oat drink is fine, it adds a nice creaminess and texture to your daily cup. The flavor profile, however, is not great. The taste of oil is strong and lingers, overpowering the subtle and silky contribution from the oats.

    Feedback

    A cleaner flavor profile that tastes a lot more like oats, and less like the rest of the ingredients.!

  • The best oatmilk fir coffee on the market. Tastes better than regular milk!

    Feedback

    The branding could soon use an update.

  • I make espresso at home and steam my own milk. I like to think of myself as an ~oatmilk connoisseur~ and I've tried a lot of brands like Califa Farms, Chobani, etc etc. But everytime I come back to Oatly cause it steams much better than the other brands. Califa Barista oatmilk is a close second but if I had a choice at the grocery store I'll always go with oatly.

    Feedback

    Bigger carton pls :) I'd love if there was a lower cal version but I understand that will probably impact steaming.

  • I know that all of the milk alternatives are heralded by all, but no.....just no, honestly just NO

    Feedback

    You would need to improve the taste, the consistancy, basically the whole product

  • Best oat milk I’ve had, the “full fat” kind is my favorite and tastes very creamy.

    Feedback

    I don’t think the regular kind (not full fat) is rich enough.

  • I love oatly! It’s so smooth and easy to drink.

    Feedback

    I think it is a bit high in fat.

  • Love the flavour.

    Feedback

    Nothing.

  • I really enjoy the creaminess of alt-milks and this one had it so no complaints otherwise
