  • Creamy, luxurious mouthfeel
  • Reliable, barista-grade frothing
  • Smooth, neutral oat flavor

  • Additive-heavy ingredient list

  • 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.

  • I make lattes at home every morning and Oatly is the best oat milk to actually get some steam action going. The texture is smooth, and the flavor is always great. I also love the slim packaging, it fits well in the fridge door.

  • Love this for my coffee, creamy without the guilt or stomach issues, not too sweet. Goldilocks.

  • Oatly is a game-changer! Creamy, versatile, and cruelty-free, it's the best oat milk brand I've tried. Perfect for coffee, smoothies, or cereal. Love it! They make iced coffee delicious and it doesn’t separate as often as other nut creamers do.

  • Great taste but I don’t think I’m on board with alternative milks for coffee. A lot of them have seed oils.

  • Yummy milk alternative with full flavor. Not watered down or weird tasting - just yummy.

  • I used to barista and this was the brand of oat milk we used. It was loved by our customers! Very tasty. Would recommend for personal or commercial use.

  • Of all of the Oat Milk brands, this is hands down my favorite. I have tried numerous different brands of Oat Milk, but Oatly stands out for its taste and overall quality.

  • We drink so much Oatly in this house that my son, who attends MIT, did a presentation in his class about Oatly. He convinced his freshman dorm mates to invest in the company as a group. Thank goodness this product exists for those who want an alternative to dairy. Not affiliated with them in any way. Just love the product.

  • Oatly oatmilk has become a staple in my refrigerator. Their Barista Edition and Original flavors have won me over with their creamy texture and plant-based goodness. The Barista Edition is perfect for my morning coffee. It froths up beautifully and adds a rich, velvety touch to my lattes. It's a game-changer for at-home barista vibes. The Original flavor, on the other hand, is versatile and great for everything from cereal to baking. It has a subtle sweetness that I adore. What impresses me most about Oatly is their commitment to sustainability. They use quality ingredients, and their oatmilk is produced with minimal impact on the environment. It feels good to support a brand that cares about the planet. The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is because I find it slightly more expensive compared to other plant-based milk options. However, considering the quality and taste, it's worth the splurge.

  • I use this oat milk nearly every day in my coffee and cold brew. It's rich and thick. I prefer oat milk over almond milk. Unlike almond milk, this oak milk doesn't have all those little particles in the coffee.

  • Tried it, tastes fine, but didn't froth as expected. Not a bad alternative to milk.

  • Loved at first, but it feels very heavy and processed. I prefer more natural alternatives!

  • Creamy and tasty! Not as nutritious as some other brands but definitely good in coffee.

  • Oatley is one of the most delicious dairy free products I have ever had. my experience with oatley has been great. Although it’s a bit pricey but other than that it’s a great product.

  • Oatly is delicious and such a pioneer in the oat milk space. Their variety of flavors and formats is also welcome. I think the taste and creaminess of Califia is slightly superior, however, and there is less added sugar.

  • I love the oatly branding; but when it comes to the actual oat milk, it's a bit on the thinner side for my taste!

  • My daughter is allergic to cows milk , we used oatly as an alternative and she loves it !

  • I really like their oat products. Especially the cooking cream and barista milk.
