Oatly\u2019s Future of Taste Report Identifies Four Key Trends Shaping Caf\u00e9 Menus<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>MALM\u00d6, Sweden, October 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) \u2013 Oatly Group AB (publ) (Nasdaq: OTLY) (\u201cOatly\u201d), the world\u2019s original and largest oat drink company, has published its second Future of Taste Report. It brings together more than 200 interviews with baristas, caf\u00e9 owners, mixologists and drinks experts across 21 countries, alongside quantitative trends data compiled by researchers CultureLab, to identify the trends expected to shape caf\u00e9 menus in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>The report points to a potential overhaul of coffee menus on the horizon, with a growing interest in botanical and fermented ingredients, a boom in non-coffee and tea orders, and &#8211; with the rise of innovations like coffee jelly &#8211; \u201ctexture\u201d playing an increasingly starring role.<\/p>\n<p>Rowena Roos, Oatly Head of FADE said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year\u2019s <i>Future of Taste<\/i> Report makes one thing very clear: people are expecting a lot more from their drinks. They want more excitement, more texture, and more functionality. From wellness drinks with real personality to global flavours, playful textures and caf\u00e9s at the core of actual human connection, menus are becoming far more expressive. It&#8217;s been exciting to hear how many creators see oat drink as a brilliant starting point for that creativity, allowing baristas and caf\u00e9 teams to build drinks people don\u2019t just order but remember.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<b>THE PHARMAFICATION OF DRINKS:<\/b> Herbs, botanicals and fermented ingredients are moving further into everyday drinks, as caf\u00e9s borrow from wellness, nature and traditional food cultures. 40% of drinks professionals say herbs and botanicals will shape the future of flavour, making them the number one taste trend in the report. Ginger, hibiscus and lavender are among the ingredients gaining attention, while 56% of experts spontaneously mentioned fermentation. Alongside kombucha, drinks such as tepache, kvass and Turkish \u015falgam are starting to appear on the radar.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" \/>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <b>Olive Sour <\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <i>Salty olives and brine mix with refreshing lemon and vegetable juice. Topped with an olive oil Oatly Barista Cold Foam.<\/i>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <i>\u201cI think we will see more ingredients connected to nature, fermentation and regionality: herbs, flowers, botanicals, tea, fermented fruits and local ingredients. People are becoming interested in flavours that tell a story.\u201d \u2014 Lara Sosna, Forkk Studio, Germany.<\/i>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a02.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<b>THE GREAT CAF\u00c9 RECONNECTION:<\/b> With the rise of AI and at-home working, caf\u00e9s are taking on a bigger role as places to meet, spend time and find community. 51% of drinks experts say belonging, community or connection will be central to the future of caf\u00e9s. That could mean specialist coffee communities, matcha groups, music-led spaces or caf\u00e9s built around other shared interests. The drink still matters, but increasingly, so does what happens around it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <b>Goji Mont Blanc<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <i>Iced filter with sweet and tangy goji berry syrup, topped with Oatly Barista Cold Foam.

Ube was mentioned twice as often as the flat white or cappuccino, while refreshers, botanical sodas, fermented drinks, hojicha, coconut and hibiscus are also finding their way onto menus. The result is a caf\u00e9 menu that looks increasingly different from the one we\u2019re used to.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" \/>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <b>Coconut Pandan Cloud<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <i> Coconut, espresso and orange blossom water meld together with the floral and coconutty notes of the pandan Oatly Cold Foam.

Texture and appearance are becoming part of the order too. 72% of beverage experts say mouthfeel is becoming as important as flavour. Jelly, foam, fizz, chewy toppings, fruit pieces and layered drinks are all part of this shift. Looks matter too, with 37% of experts saying how a drink looks is integral to its appeal. Whilst, google searches for coffee jelly are up 90% year-on-year globally.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" \/>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <b>Pannoat Cotta Thai Tea<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <i> A thick slurpable pannoat cotta made with Oatly Barista Edition Coconut Flavour is the base of this texture rich beverage.
