Starbucks made people very happy in March 2021 when it announced Oatly oat milk
to be a permanent addition to its stores nationwide. However, a viral TikTok
claims that the coffee chain changed the oat milk brand, prompting outrage
online.

TikToker Leah (@froggypeah), who says she is a barista at a Starbucks in Canada,
posted the clip on Sunday. In the TikTok, her text overlay reads: “Yeah
starbucks changed the oat milk they use so that’s why all your favorite drinks
taste like [trash] now.”

In the caption, she wrote: “Bring [back] barista oat 2022. Everybody email
corporate pls so that i can enjoy my iced oat lattes again im begging.”

As of Tuesday, the video has over 408,300 views.

It’s unclear if this is totally true or not. In the comments, it seems as if a
change occurred in some Canadian and United States locations, but some baristas
in California claimed their store still uses Oatly. Others said their store has
been using the brands Chobani or Earth’s Own.

Others commented how the change in oat milk does make a difference in their
drink.

One user said, “My brown sugar oat shaken espresso was particularly bitter and
now i’m sad that my fav drink might be ruined.”

Another TikToker said, “Is that why my coffee tasted like expired cough syrup
today?”

A third person called their drink “grainy” and said, “i thought they made it
wrong…this makes sense.”

“The amount of drinks I’ve had to remake for people since the change,” another
TikToker, who appears to be a barista, wrote.



Starbucks may want to figure out the oat milk situation soon, since oat milk is
one of the trendiest non-dairy milks available. In fact, it’s the second most
popular non-dairy milk after almond milk.

The Daily Dot has reached out to Leah via TikTok comment and Starbucks via email
for comment.
