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.

  • This isn’t oat milk. This is a blend of chemicals that are toxic to the body and your gut. Why does milk need to contain rapeseed oil? When you can make milk without the toxic sludge. There are plenty of other companies that do it! There are more additives in this milk than oats itself.

    Feedback

    Take out all the chemicals just leave water oats & salt.

  • I really love this brand. I got it for the first time this week. I have tried a lot of alternatives for milk and most are either too sweet or not sweet enough and this one is the Goldilocks; the perfect amount of sweet.

    Feedback

    Making some varieties widely available. I don’t know if there are any more but at least at my target there is only one kind

  • My favorite oatmilk to use with iced lattes. Creates a smooth, creamy drink.

  • I am a HUGE oat milk lover and Oat-ly is my go-to brand of oat milk since I try to remain mostly dairy free in my diet. I love the creaminess and the consistency of this milk and I love adding it to my morning coffee for the ultimate creaminess.

    Feedback

    I wish that this product was sold in bigger containers.

  • I tried Oatly as an attempt to consume less dairy, however, had some issues with my gut health shortly after -- it caused me a lot of bloating and discomfort. The flavor is great, but this is anything but a clean label product. I ultimately stopped purchasing because I didn't feel good about the ingredients.

    Feedback

    Cleaner label would make me feel better about purchasing. Additionally, consider ingredients that are good for gut health.

  • Oatly is by far one of the best tasting oat milks on the market. The creamy texture is hard to find in other brands, and it definitely elevates my morning iced coffee

    Feedback

    I only wish the ingredients were healthier. There are added oils/thickeners which means it's probably not great to consume daily, and it would be great if there was a way to maintain the texture and flavor but with higher quality ingredients.

  • It froths great but the ingredients are no bueno. I dont like that they are touting how “healthy” the products are when they use highly inflammatory oils and heavily sprayed crops.

    Feedback

    Take out the oil! The crop would still be heavily sprayed as it isn’t organic but at least it wouldn’t have any added negative aspects.

  • Hands down the BEST oat milk that exists. I've tried more than a few, but many are too watery. Oatly in general, but specifically the barista edition, makes every cup of coffee feel super luxe and indulgent.

    Feedback

    Nothing!!

  • My favorite oat milk of all time. It froths perfectly for hot lattes. Tastes great iced or hot. Honestly feels like I'm just drinking normal milk (minus the cow).

    Feedback

    The only thing that makes me hesitate on Oatly is the addition of oils. I know this is probably what makes it froth better than other alt milks, but I do feel slightly guilty about drinking the less healthy choice.

  • Oatly is the only oatmilk I will drink. The texture and taste is always perfect and it makes an great substitute in cereal and other foods.

  • Not crazy about Oatly, particularly because of the ingredients. There's a lot in there besides just oats...

  • The brand that started the oat fad in all coffee shops. I feel like they add too much maltose when making the milk and it becomes to sweet.

    Feedback

    Recently just had a recall due to contamination.

  • This is my favorite milk for my morning coffee! Its dairy free and is perfect for frothing.

  • This is my go-to oat milk, especially that barista edition. Unfortunately hard to find where I live, but when I find it, I snatch it up. My #1 choice for oat milk.

  • Literally, the only oat milk (or milk in general) that I will drink. Especially good in iced coffee!

    Feedback

    Nothing, it's perfect.

  • I adore Oatly! Super yummy nutty taste and doesn't sink to the bottom of my cup
