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.

  • Love the flavor and consistency. It's creamy enough to put in my coffee. The branding is on-par. What I don't like is the preservative seed oils. I wish they could use a better emulsifier and preservative. Wish I knew what to use!

  • Healthy drink for all. Tasty too. Price is fair.

  • Healthy brand, and environmental focus. Will buy again.

  • Love Oatly milks! Such a good alternative to dairy milk, however I wish there could be something else instead of all the oil used in the products as I don't think this is very good for my stomach

  • Oatly has a variety of milk alternatives for many use cases. My favourite is the barista edition which froths about as well as regular milk. Taste and texture work well in all types of coffee. I'd gladly recommend it to fellow coffee lovers!

  • Oatly is probably the best "milk" alternative I've tasted. I don't like giving it the name milk alternative as it's an amazing drink on its own. I highly recommend the product for any coffee or tea lover.

  • Great taste! Don’t love some of the ingredients, and I find it a little watery.

  • As someone who is lactose intolerant, as well as has Crohn’s disease- finding a good non-dairy alternative took awhile, and I had to go through many brands to find one I actually liked. Oatly is the only brand of oat milk I will drink now. It has nice frothing capabilities for lattes, and a great taste. Most nondairy milks taste chalky or too artificially sweet- oatly is smooth and not too sweet at all!

  • I love adding Oatly to my morning espresso. Whether I’m making an iced latte or iced coffee, this oat milk froths great for me.

  • Favorite oat milk for coffee drinks. I use ir every single morning - it’s smooth, not too sweet and blends so well with coffee.

  • Great taste as a substitute to regular milk! I have been getting oat milk lattes as coffee from Starbucks and finally found an at home oat milk worth the price!

  • As a seasoned barista you can imagine how many drinks I've made with this milk since it's beginnings in the mid-2010s. The flavor is pleasant enough, not too sweet, obviously made from oats, it does steam remarkably well, though I find the mouthfeel a little slick, especially when drank iced. Many people swear by this brand of oat milk, others disparage the particular oil in it. Personally I would rather just have whole milk, I think it makes for the best companion to coffee, if you must combine the two at all.

  • Delicious flavor. I use it to make matcha latte. Very delicious.

  • Absolutely the best Oat Milk out there! Not only in taste cause it really tastes like actualy milk, but also in the whole branding and what the brand stands for! Such a brilliant company and marketing campaign! Big fan of Oatly

  • i love their ice cream 🫶🏾 i’ve never tried the oat milk itself but i can say that their vanilla ice cream is amazing 💗

  • Oatly is by far the best tasting Oatmilk! Totally delicious!!

  • Taste is great. But I've heard it's not the healthiest of all oat milks?

  • i originally tried this product in my home town fantastic coffee hot spot, La Colombe in Philadelphia. i have watched the brand expand with many new flavors and offerings. this product has changed morning cup of coffee. Coffee is smoother and richer without dairy. i never likes cream. yuck. love this alternative to 2% milk.

  • Great oat milk that is not too watered down and not too overly creamy. It can be drank by itself or used for smoothies and cooking.
