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.

  • Was addicted but cut it! Causes me bloating and has been quoted in reviews as having “unhealthy ingredients.”

  • Oatly has become a part of my daily life. It enriches the flavour of my coffee and adds a creamy texture. I tried many other oat milks with my coffee but Oatly is by far my favourite.

  • Don't recommend - their preservatives are blood-sugar boosting / it's actually very bad for you. Would be better to buy an organic oat milk. I also find this one really oily.

  • Oatly is one of the oat milk brands in the market. I love it, the taste is creamy and rich. I not only drink alone, but will add to tea or coffee. Moreover, it has other flavors, such as vanilla, chocolate, etc.

  • I found out about this brand while I was interning at a Fashion Agency in Amsterdam, they only drank this one. Since then, I can't get enough and I won't switch to any other milk brand. Great, great, great!

  • This is my go-to oat milk for morning lattes. It’s the most smooth of all the regular oat milks (not “barista”).

  • Great tasting oat milk

  • Love using oatly in my coffee or black tea. It’s creamier and a little sweet so I don’t need to add sweetener. Not quite the same experience as milk for cereal.

  • Probably the best oat milk on the market. Great for at home coffee, the only milk that froths properly. Its a shame it’s so expensive now

  • It has a pleasant taste but a little thin or watery for me and I found it taste a little like powdered milk

  • I do enjoy oatly but I wish it didn't have as much sugar in it. It is also a bit in the pricey side.

  • Like the original, the low fat is too watery. We put it in everything it’s a great dairy milk substitute.

  • Tastes great and blends well in my morning coffee. The only reason I gave it a three is because it is not organic.

  • Great oat milk. Not sure it’s so much better than generic brands to really be worth the extra cost, but it tastes great.

  • Oatly does it well! I’m especially a fan of their full fat oat milk. Creamy (not watery) consistency and I find it doesn’t separate in coffee the way some oat milks or almond milks do. Also a fan of their ice cream- but only in strawberry so far. A bit of a guar gum taste/texture that’s too overpowering in vanilla and coffee.

  • Guter Ersatz zur Milch. Schmeckt tatsächlich gut. Sowohl im Müsli als auch im Kaffee. Der Milchersatz ist allerdings sehr teuer. Deshalb nur vier Sterne.

  • My fav alternative milk!! Sooo good with ice coffee , with cereals , goes well with everythinggg

  • Truly love this oat milk. I love how it’s available everywhere. Went in a trip to a different state and they had Oatly at the market. It’s creamy and smooth.

  • bad ingredient list, they use seed oils

  • Have tried so very many milk alternatives recently, and the Full Fat Oatly was my go-to for a while UNTIL I realized I was drinking canola oil :( I researched and realized the nonfat Oatly is free of oils, so now we do still purchase that version in particular. Makes a decent froth in our Nespresso frother for oat milk lattes. Agree with the feeling of too much sugar content as well - could do without! Overall, a decent price, easier to find in stores than other brands…just be wary of the “rapeseed oil” in the Full Fat version!
