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.

  • 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!

  • 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!!

  • Prolly the best or most popular one among oat milk. Even though I am not a big fan of oat milk, I still would like to add some of these to my latte. Absolutely loving it

  • oat milk is a game-changer in the world of plant-based milk alternatives. Its creamy texture and slightly sweet taste make it perfect for everything from coffee to cereal. What sets Oatly apart is its commitment to sustainability, using environmentally-friendly practices in production. While it may be pricier than some other options, the quality and taste justify the cost. Whether you're vegan, lactose intolerant, or just looking to reduce your environmental footprint, Oatly is a top choice.
