About OATSIDE

OATSIDE (stylized in all caps as OATSIDE) is an Asian plant-based beverage brand best known for its oat milk products. Founded in Singapore, the company was created with the goal of making oat milk that appeals to mainstream consumers—not just those already interested in plant-based alternatives. The brand emphasizes a creamy, malty flavor profile, clean-label ingredients, and sustainability, positioning itself as “the plant milk for people who don’t care for plant milks.” [1]

History

OATSIDE was established in Singapore during the rapid growth of the plant-based food movement in Asia. Rather than copying European oat milk brands, OATSIDE focused on creating an oat milk specifically suited to Asian tastes and coffee culture. The company quickly expanded across Southeast Asia through supermarkets, cafés, convenience stores, and e-commerce platforms. Today, OATSIDE has become one of Asia’s most recognizable oat milk brands, particularly among specialty coffee shops and home coffee enthusiasts. [1]

Mission

OATSIDE’s mission is to make plant-based milk enjoyable for everyone by prioritizing taste. According to the company:

“We know that plant milks are the sustainable future of milk, but taste is often a barrier.”

Instead of marketing primarily to vegans, OATSIDE targets everyday consumers who simply want a delicious milk alternative. [1]
