With only five ingredients, Miyoko’s Vegan Cream Cheese is the closest thing we’ve found to homemade. But unlike most recipes that use acidic ingredients to add tang, Miyoko cultures her cream cheese alternative for a more authentic flavor.
Miyoko’s Vegan Cream Cheese Spreads it on Thick with 3 Classic Flavors
All of Miyoko’s products are palm oil-free, but this line up is also completely oil-free. The creamy consistency comes from a paleo-friendly blend of cashews and coconut cream. We’ve got some notes on each flavor, but tell us what you think about this product too! Leave your review and rating below.
Plainly Classic
This is meant to be the most versatile flavor, for spreading on bagels, whipping into frosting, and creating “classic” dairy-free cheesecakes. But it is a little coconut-forward in flavor, and might night work perfectly for every cream cheese need. Nonetheless, it’s thick, rich, and will provide a nice consistency whether served cold or baked.

Seaweed and spiced give this schmear a seafood vibe. I’ve heard rave reviews from both vegans and non-vegans on the flavor, which is best for bagels and appetizers.

Sour!
I was shocked at the taste of the plain cream cheese. I re-read the label as I thought I must’ve accidentally purchased a weird flavor with lemon or something. I was going to make a dip with it, but I’m afraid it’s going in the garbage.
tastes like solid yogurt
after trying and failing to find a good vegan cream cheese i finally found this brand in stores. the texture is fine i think the coconut just makes the flavor off. i personally dont really like coconut. this to me tasted like i was eating solid yogurt, it was very sour, not the experience i wanted when eating bagels.
Vinegar
Taste like it’s heavy on the vinegar and pretty salty to wear my tongue feels burnt.
why the poor reviews?
This is good stuff and I am surprised by the poor ratings. I personally like my favor to carry a zing. I do not like the heavy, unctuous taste other cream cheeses have, including Tofutti which I find to have a plastic quality. So if you are like me, you should enjoy this bagel spread.
Perfect Tangy Cream Cheese but not regular Cream Cheese
I love the Perfect Tangy flavor from the cultures it’s so good I wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be Tangy but didn’t want to stop eating it because I knew cultures with make stuff like that if not sweetened or blended with the right ingredient combo definitely an amazing and delicious tangy cream cheese alternative with amazingly basic ingredients but not a good alternative for regular Cream cheese which is why I give 4 stars as I do love the taste as a tangy alternative and when picked up at the grocery outlet or other discount stores or simply on sale/clearance its definitely worth the price it has a good cream cheese flavor with a nice tang to it so if you are into tangy cream cheese the classic plain definitely tastes like tangy cream cheese and is amazing just don’t expect something without tang.
Myokos butter is outstanding, the best!
But sadly the cream cheese is not. It’s tangy, almost sour, and that is not what cream cheese is supposed to taste like. It does have a cream cheese consistency for spreading.
I’m sure it can be cooked into something but I’m not sure what and I hate throwing things out. I will not use it again on my bagels.
The best vegan cream cheese is violife.
Salty and sour
Texture is fine and I love their butter but it’s way too salty / sour like lemon for plain cream cheese
not the best
did not like the sour taste it had to it and the scallions didnt look appealing. will return it and go back to buying tofutti. that has been the best cream cheese brand so far
Omg no
The texture is so off. It does not spread well, kind of gummy, and has a weird sour taste. I’ve been dairy-free for years and have tried a lot of “cream cheese” This ain’t it!
Sour Tangy Grossness
Don’t understand the craze. It is like lemon paste
However we love the pepper jack shreds which are not lemony or acidic tasting at all
