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 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!

  • Delicious to mix with your smoothie. Definitely a game-changer for my morning routines.

  • Me gusta la compré y su sabor es bueno en general excelente producto!

  • I cannot speak to this product as a home consumer but their barista blend does not steam half as well as other brands on the market. There are better tasting and better formulated oat milks available.

  • I love the taste of Oatly - it's my go to oat milk! I buy them to use at home aswell as when I order my coffee in cafes! I also like the branding as I straight away know it is Oatly when I see it.
