Oatly reviews and discussion

4.3

85% of reviewers would recommend to a friend

Reviews mention

  • Creamy, milklike mouthfeel
  • Exceptional frothing performance
  • Versatile, coffee-enhancing flavor
  • Consistent, barista-grade texture
  • Additive-heavy ingredient list
  • Occasionally too sweet taste
  • Watery low‑fat variant texture
  • Potential gut sensitivity reports

Oatly impresses in reviews for creamy, café-worthy performance—especially Barista Edition, which froths reliably and elevates lattes, matcha, and espresso—while its distinct oat flavor works across coffee, cereal, baking, and smoothies. Reviews also flag meaningful drawbacks: frequent concerns about additives/oils, sweetness and blood-sugar impact, occasional separation or watery low‑fat variants, and mixed reactions to texture; fans call it the best-tasting oat milk, but ingredient purists and some sensitive stomachs report issues.

  • 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.

  • I really wanted to like this. It isn’t as creamy as other non dairy creamers and while it’s fine for the price I expected more.

  • I love this oat milk. It's the best one I've tried

  • I firmly believe oatmilk is the most superior of all the non milk milks. Oatly is delicious. However their coffee creamer could stand to make the coffee a little creamier? Also— is it better than cheaper generics? Probably not but for what it is it’s great.

  • I am lactose intolerant so I am very happy with this brand because I can drink my latte again!

  • I use this in my green shakes and my husband likes it in his coffee. Really quality taste and creamy.

  • As someone who DEEPLY cares about the taste of alternate milk (I am not kidding when I say if I get too much of one ingredient I can't finish it), the Oatly milk, especially the barista one, is one of the best alternatives I have ever tasted. I love going to a local coffee shop and getting a coffee brewed up for me but this has been a game changer where I prefer my coffees at home with this. It's smooth, the color is as bright white as possible, and it tastes absolutely delicious. I would 10/10 recommend !

  • Yummy non dairy alternative! One of my favorite oat beverage brands!

  • This is really good, great alternative for my daily routine.

  • Oatly is my go to when ordering in cafes. While it does take a bit of time to learn how to steam Oatly well enough for latte art, it's flavor complements most of my espresso roasts well!

  • Oatly is both innovative and forward thinking. It was the first vegan milk that I’ve ever tried and heard of. Their oat milk tastes good, and in my opinion the best oat milk on the market. Their packaging on the other hand, might need some improvement, it’s kinda fragile and more fragile than the normal milks.

  • Drink it everyday. Better than Chobani oat milk.

  • Enjoyed the taste, but the price was a little high to become a regular staple - albeit worth the money in my opinion.

  • This used to be my go-to but I having tasted so many vegan milks I now see how it's a bit too sweet for my tastebuds. Gotta give props for the branding though.

  • Terrible ingredients that are harmful and cause inflammation to the body. No need for a long list of ingredients when it only take water and pats to make oat milk

  • I love oatly so much that I always have two in my fridge so I never run out! It goes in my coffee everyday and in all my smoothies!
