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.

  • I enjoyed the taste of this oat milk. I recommend the unflavored and add flavored syrup instead.

  • Love it!

  • Tasty, good milk sub in drinks

  • I love this milk I use to have it when I lived in Norway and I see it in the states as well. Good quality oat milk. With a special product for coffee creamer.

  • Oatly is good, but has a lot more natural sugars than others. It really froths well, and tastes good in coffee. I migrated to Califia because of the differences in sugar content. My daughter (strict vegan) demands Oatly. Probably over-hyped, but still a great product.

  • My daughter has a cow’s protein milk allergy… due to breastfeeding, this was the best creamer to switch to. So much so, I have not gone back to any other creamer!

  • Its my all time favorite drink . Creaminees in the milk . Love to drink it in coffee and smoothies.

  • Oatly is always my go-to brand for my iced lattes. As a lactose intolerant person, it makes my coffee still taste great and not too watery like other plant based milks often do.

  • Out of all of the plant based milk on the market oatly is the best option if you enjoyed cows milk. It’s rich and creamy and works great for coffee and and cooking too!

    Friends with Oatly
  • Liked them when they just came out. I've since upgraded to Malk. Oatly’s products have too many fillers and potential allergens.

  • I love oatly the best tasting oatmilk out there especially for baristas.

  • I’m obsessed with the flavour, it’s definitely the best oat milk out there

  • Best tasting oat milk. It is creamy with no odd after taste. Foams well and integrates into coffee or espresso drinks.

  • The absolute best oat milk, hands down. The barista formula foams up nicely amd has the best flavor. It’s creamy and serves as a great milk substitute. I only use Oatly!

  • Really good but way too much sugar

  • This oat milk is literally the same oat milk we use at Starbucks. If you like the oat milk anything at Starbucks, you should definitely buy this! It’s so smooth and yummy!!
