Reviews mention

  • Creamy, dairy-like mouthfeel
  • Exceptional barista-grade frothing
  • Versatile, cooking-friendly consistency
  • Consistently smooth, neutral flavor
  • Additive-heavy ingredient list
  • Occasional glucose-spike concerns
  • Possible gut sensitivity reports
  • Inconsistent thickness across versions

Oatly earns strong reviews for creamy, dairy-like texture—especially the Barista Edition, which froths reliably for café-level lattes and blends beautifully in coffee, matcha, and baking—while critiques target ingredient lists with added oils/gums and a sometimes sweet or “oaty” aftertaste. Reviews also note occasional gut sensitivity and glucose spikes, plus variability in thickness across versions, making Oatly a standout for performance in drinks but not ideal for those seeking the cleanest formulas.

  • My go to for creamy goodness when cooking, and my fave when making “milky” espresso-based drinks.

  • Good ingredients, good taste, be aware they do use some oils in their products.

    Feedback

    Create a clean (oil free) version.

  • I'm using Oatly every morning, I love the taste of it and the packaging is beautiful! The price point is reasonable, it's a win!

  • Love this milk - it's the only one I'll use for my morning lattes. the absolute best.

    Feedback

    only thing I'd improve is the ingredient list - wish there was no seed oil!

  • Delicious taste - does not get grainy or chunky in hot or iced beverages. A cornerstone for my morning coffee!

    Feedback

    High sugar content - not great alternatives for consumers.

  • If you want an alternative milk that actually froths for lattes, this is it. I’ve done taste comparisons with regular milk and Oatly is the closest tasting in my opinion. I love everything about it honestly. Would definitely buy it again.

    Feedback

    I wish there were less fillers in Oatly.

  • Oatly is the best tasting oat milk by far on the market today. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is their deliveries are inconsistent and take quite a bit longer than their competitors.

  • I love this, plain and simple. And unsweetened, as it should be.

    Feedback

    Literally creme de la creme of my coffee creamers — amazing in any beverage though let’s be real

  • I love making lattes with oatlys barista creamer!!! They come out just as well as regular milk, not even much of a learning curve! Great texture, consistency, and taste! Get yours today!

  • Look, nothing compares to Oatly taste wise. Its creamy, delicious and especially the barista edition - I love. Their branding is amazing, advertising dollars well spent.

    Feedback

    I just want them to take the gums and oils out of it. I know that probably takes the texture and flavor out of it, but that's my only grip.

  • Oatly milk is probably the best oat milk I personally have had. Being a coffee snob and lactose intolerant, this is one of the only milk that works well with the frother for my latte/flat white and adds a better texture and flavor to my coffee.

  • Oatly barista edition is great for lattes. I really appreciate its ability to foam up like dairy milk. This stuff tastes great.

  • Love the chocolate ice cream! Such a nice treat for those with milk/lactose allergies and intolerance.

    Feedback

    Great ice cream!

  • We use this product at our cafe. It steams really well and isn’t too sweet. It does contain rapeseed oil which is not great for you but likely is why it foams well. I tend to prefer oat milks with all natural ingredients (salt, oats, water) type of thing. But this is more economical and does the job.

    Feedback

    My only feedback is to remove the oil. I know easier said than done but I would buy this at home too if the ingredients were all natural.

  • I find oatly has a bit too much sugar and has some oils that are not good for the body.

    Feedback

    I prefer an oatmilk with fewer ingredients.

  • Best tasting oat milk out there - make morning lattes with Oatly daily. I wish the ingredient list was simpler with just the main ingredients and no gums.

    Feedback

    Ingredient list could be simplified, but taste, price point, and size have me repurchasing. Love it!

  • I absolutely love oatmilk for matcha lattes and all kinds of things. This is one of the best oatmilk brands that I’ve tried.

    Feedback

    Love the brand and the product!

  • Oatly has one of the best milk alternatives available. It's so much creamier tasting than other oat milks and never comes across as "watery"
