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've been an alternative milk drinker since before it was cool. I have tried all the "milks" and can confidently say that when it comes to a dairy substitute for caffeinated needs, Oatly's oat-based milks are my favorite, hands-down. All varieties have a creamy body that is luxurious in coffee and hot tea and doesn't thin out the way rice or almond milk tends to. The full-fat, original, low-fat and barista editions all offer different levels of creaminess to your caffeine vehicle of choice but you won't be disappointed with any of the options. They all work tons better than the best most decadent almond milk on the market. There is less of a taste adjustment than coconut or cashew milk. Oatly brand oat milk, compared to in-house brands and other national brands of oat milk, stands apart from the competition because of the luxurious texture and very mild nutty taste. I don't know what alchemy Oatly has worked on oats to make this product so good but it is worth the premium price the product carries compared to the competition.

By far my favorite oatmilk but I don't always choose it because of the price/size! Not cause I don't want to, it's creamy and delish.

I work in a private, co-working club in four locations in the U.S. Upon first working at this club they used Oatley for all coffee drinks. I am not a coffee drinker, however I began to order a Mocha, or a cappuccino, I noticed a lovely flavor that I'd hadn't experienced before. I asked the barista what kind of milk they used and she showed me Oatley. I was an instant fan. Fast forward three months, I'd ordered my usual cappuccino and this time, it tasted different, not good at all. They started using a different brand of oat milk. I started making my cappuccinos at home with Oatley. It's delicious!

I love Oatly. It's a constant in my fridge to use in my morning coffee. It froths up nicely and also tastes fantastic.

It is a good alternative to traditional milk, but there are lots of additives oils etc that are not that healthy. I wish they had a more simple ingredient list, similar to MALK or other cleaner products.

Omg the barista version is perfection. So creamy, so foamy it's my favorite.

Without sugar, perfect flavor, quality foam for cappuccino. The best oat drink I have tried so far. I'm not sure how healthy the ingredients are, I admit I'm not very well-informed about it.

Tastes great but it is quite pricey for just being oats and water. Also, brand was bought by bigger and not so vegan/environment friendly company. This makes me want to choose a different brand.

Have used oatly at home and as a barista. Really solid, sort of industry standard. Not my favorite but certainly not the worst. The milks have a light sweetness, with a sort of cardboardy aftertaste. Not filmy, so the aftertaste doesn't linger. Generally thicker than most alt milks and a little thicker than other oat milks i've tried. I really don't consume much milk, and with oatly not much is the ideal amount. That might feel like a dig, but really mean that it satiates. Have also tried their yogurt which I found to be kind of terrible. Oddly dense and has a flavorlessness that overwhelmed the blueberries and granola i ate with it. Less aftertaste than the milk and more like a college ruled notebook flavor than cardboard. Interested in trying the ice creams, and somehow feel like they would nail it with their cream cheese, maybe like a big slice of fabriano watercolor paper (sorry just trying to extend my dumb analogy). But can't speak to them. In the end, Oatly is good stuff that successfully fills out the growing alt dairy market. I wouldn't rush to it, but I would be a stinky little jerkus about anything lesser.

The best alternative to cows milk in terms of frothing for lattes. Although there's rapeseed oil in it, the addition is necessary in order to create airy lattes that are not overly watered down.

I tried so many dairy free alternatives and for some reason oat milk was last on my list to try. I don’t know why I waited so long because it is amazing! I thought I could never be converted to drinking dairy free milk until I tried this. It also tastes amazing in hot drinks unlike some alternatives, in fact I prefer it in my coffee over regular milk.

Great tasting oat milk with a nice texture thick and creamy like dairy milk unlike other oat milks which are watery.

This is the non-dairy milk that coffee baristas can make you a frothy drink with! Creamy, smooth, and not too sweet. Quite possibly the best non-dairy milk I've ever tasted.

I have long been a fan of Oatly! Especially their barista edition and chocolate oat milk. There packaging and aesthetic are A+! My biggest pause for repurchasing is the amount of additives.

Oatly is apart of my everyday routine, it helps me start the day right giving me a refreshing buzz when I wake up. I’ve used for over 2 years now and have never thought about switching it out.
