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.

  • I love their Original Oatly Oatmilk, as someone who grew up drinking 2% milk but is now Lactose Intolerant, I find this to be a great substitute in baking and tastes pretty close to 2%.

  • I but this product for my daughter, but because it’s in my refrigerator, I end up using it myself when I run out of regular milk. At first I didn’t think that I was going to like it, but the taste is really nice. It tastes a lot like oatmeal, or oat milk if you will. It also has a nice creamy texture. I really like the creamer, the barista edition.

  • I drink cappuccino primarily for the milk froth, sometimes even just the froth, no cappuccino. But this taste is simply: nah. Either the real thing from the cow or nothing...

  • We've been drinking Oatly since 2017 when my wife and I switched over from almond milk. I use it in my smoothies, she uses it in her coffee. No other oat milk brand compares.

  • This is my go-to oat milk. It tastes great in my coffee.

  • My latte was made with Oatly at the coffee shop & I thought it had cows milk in it bc it was SO CREAMY!

  • Love the flavor and consistency. Would love that they started selling here in Mexico! The vanilla one is amazing.

  • This dairy alternative has gained a lot of traction in the last few years. It’s got an enjoyable taste, but that’s the only positive in my eyes. Once the taste is gone, it leaves an oily residue in my pallet that’s difficult to get rid of. This is because a serving of oatly has as much oil as a serving of French fries. This is what gives it a super creamy texture, but the drawback is not worth it in my opinion. There’s a great marketing team behind oatly because they’re able to somehow make it seem like this is a healthier, more eco friendly option than regular dairy while at the same time making it more desirable than other dairy alternatives. Taste: 3/5 Texture: 4/5 Nutritious value: 0/5

  • Best oat milk on the market! The only one I use for my morning lattes! Adds the perfect amount of creaminess! The taste is very subtle. Can't say what it would taste like with cereal, as I only use a splash in my coffee.

  • I really love Oatly, and always try to get it when I’m buying oat milk. I think the branding and advertising is very clever and niche, and the product itself is great. I love that there is such a variety, and the haven’t just stopped at oat milk. Being able to choose from original, sugar free, barista, flavoured etc means you can find the variety that best meets your needs and lifestyle, and also makes it easier as a consumer to get what you need. I also really love their yoghurts, especially the greek style, as it works great with some fruit and nuts for a healthy breakfast, and really mimics the original very well. Great brand, great products

  • I absolutely LOVE Oatly. I have been drinking them for years and they are my brand of choice for Oat Milk/drink. Their barista blend is so creamy and delicious. Love the packaging and the little stories or messages on them as well. Very entertaining. Thank you for your product!

Whether you're adding it to your coffee, cereal, or smoothie, Oatly oat milk is sure to put a smile on your face and make your taste buds sing with joy. So, go ahead and give it a try - your taste buds will thank you!

  • It is a good alternative if you have no other substitute but you can not eat oatmeal because they unfortunately dissolve immediately as soon as they come into contact with the milk.

  • Amazing frothing action, perfect for lattes and matcha lattes!

  • The milks are great really, the barista oatmilk is my fav on the market 🙌

  • they use oil seed like sunflower oil and other nasty stuff is much better to drink milk

  • I am writing about the Oatly chocolate milk. It is truly yummy, and unlike other non-dairy 'milk drinks' this one was creamy and delicious! I have a hard time finding it as often as i'd like.

  • One of my favourite non-dairy brands. I've used the standard Oat, but also the Vanilla and Chocolate variations ... which work great in overnight oats! Would highly recommend if you're an avid Oat Milk drinker or if you are a diary drinker but looking for the occasional variation!

  • Best tasting oat milk I've had, tried the original full fat and chocolate milk varieties. The price point is not my favorite though.
