  • Creamy, luxurious mouthfeel
  • Reliable, barista-grade frothing

  • 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.

  • Ingredients suck! Oats bloat, and rapeseed oil that they try to pass off as not canola oil..is literally canola/vegetable oil. That you're drinking! Nasty. Taste is good, but what're we doing here.

  • I think its taste is a bit bland. It does has vegetable oil which is not so healthy. Have tasted stronger ones before.

  • I personally love Oatly but I’m also lactose intolerant so it is really nice that they’re sold at Costco. I buy several iterations of their items. Personally I feel like their barista oat milk froths best of the different oat milks I’ve tried.

  • This is my go-to milk alternative. I love how creamy it is.

  • Love Oatly! Creamy and great tasting. It’s my favorite thing to put in coffee.

  • Great tasting oat milk and always reasonably priced. I use this for iced coffees and smoothies !

  • My nephew can’t have dairy and this is a great option for him! He’s two and loves this product so much!!!

  • Oatly is my favorite brand oatmilk. The texture and consistency is great, not too sweet, and not watery!

  • I like the consistency, especially the barista edition for coffees. The chocolate oatly is quite good too by itself. However, its a bit pricey for what its worth, and the oatly original version tastes a bit thin on its own. Overall, still love Oatly and love what it's doing for the planet.

  • tastes great, makes an amazing creamy coffee and froths beautifully.

  • My fav oat milk! The full fat is so good!

  • I love oatmilk and this is my go-to brand! The taste is delicious and pairs well with everything from cereal to coffee!

  • This is one of the best oat milk I have tried. It's creamy and doesn't split when it goes into a cup of tea. I also enjoy using this to make porridge, it adds a super creamy feel, much better than milk or water!

  • I love this brand! Ever since finding out my dairy allergy, I have been on the search for a thicker and creamy milk alternative. OATly is just that! Perfect for coffee and protein shakes.

  • Oatly was my go-to choice for homemade morning iced coffees, thanks to its slightly thick consistency that added a delightful creaminess to my brew. However, I couldn't help but notice that it sometimes caused bloating. It's a great addition to your coffee, but if you're sensitive to certain ingredients, be aware of potential digestive effects.

  • I haven’t had Oatly a lot, but when I have I’ve really liked it! It’s just the slightly higher pricing for us and with everything being so expensive right now, we’ve had to stick to the least expensive items.

  • Love oatly products I switched from regular milk to oat milk and never looked back. Smooth and creamy with a ruch oat Flavor perfect milk replacement!

  • I love the taste of Oatly. I think it has just enough sweetness and also is not too over powering.

  • As a lactose intolerant person, this is my favorite oat milk - especially the barista version. I’ve tried other brands. It is not the same. The amount of froth you can get by putting this in your espresso machine is amazing. I rarely buy Starbucks anymore!
