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.

  • Not sure if the recipe changed over the course of the year or if it just doesn't pair well with some of our coffee beans.. ? The texture is great though! And it does taste better than most other competitors that tends to be on the sweeter side.

  • For me this is one of the best I have ever had 💯

  • Having lactose sensitivity and nut allergies, it's hard to find a good creamer for my coffee or milk substitute for my granola. This is and will always be my go to. It's light, not oily and smooth in taste

  • Tastes great and doesn’t make me feel bloated

  • Love it!!

  • Great taste. Love to make a cappucino with this milk. Ingredients could be better though.

  • although i’m not personally a fan of oat milk i do find this brand to be one of the better ones and choose it when it’s available

  • I like oatly, but I wish they would not use coconut oil in their products.

  • In my opinion, oatly was the first brand to really get into oatmilk. I find that their brand is one of the creamiest. The one downside is how expensive it is for a relatively small amount.

  • I was one of the very first Oatly drinkers long before they became so mainstream. At the time I was looking for a Milk alternative but unfortunately, I think there are just too many ingredients, and inflammatory oils and their products so ultimately I’ve stopped using them.

  • Very good milk, good consistency and tasty, I cooked crapes and was delicious

  • Regularly bought from this brand’s when I mainlined my groceries on one of the quick delivery apps - I fell in love. Love their branding, and how much they’re willing to push for social good outside of producing some pretty darn good oat milk.

  • This is one of the creamiest alternatives to dairy milk. I've been vegan for over 8 years and this hits right with a nice warm cup of hot chocolate.

  • I love using Oatly, because it has a great creamy consistency for lattes and foams better for lattes than other oat milk brands.

  • The best milk ever ! I love making matcha with it . It’s super tasty and creamy

  • Love the minimal ingredients, mild flavor

  • My doctor took me off dairy products due to some health issues and oatly helped me make the switch seamlessly and with awesome taste and flavor!

  • Creamy texture. This goes really well with Matcha latte. High recommend!

  • I love the Barista Edition because it creates the perfect foam for cappuccino, but it also nice for breakfast with cereals or just to drink purely. Perfect healthy option for my lactose-intolerant nephew. I really like its texture which is almost creamy, whereas other oat milks seem to have more of a watery consistency. About the taste, I really like that it's not as sweet and it actually tastes like oat, but not so much that it overpowers your food/drinks. The packaging is also nice and fun. I also feel good consuming goods from a brand that seems to care about the environment, which they also communicate on the packaging. Overall my favorite oat milk, it's worth the price.

  • This is the best tasting milk alternative I've had. When it comes to making lattes, this is the closest you'll get to real milk.
