Wayfare has updated their packaging, which reminded me that I hadn’t yet added Wayfare Dairy Free Cream Cheese to our listings! I sampled it last year (time flies!), so my photo below shows the old packaging. But you can see their new look in the photos next to the ingredients below.
This top allergen-free spread looks remarkably like cream cheese, despite it’s butter bean and oat base. It also spreads on nicely, with a rich and fulfilling consistency.
Wayfare Dairy Free Cream Cheese is the First Bean and Oat Variety
We trialed the Original and thought it had a pleasant flavor that was quite neutral. It was a nice accompaniment to bagels and sandwiches, and even held up in dairy-free cream cheese frosting. But let us know what you think when you try either flavor. Leave your own rating and review below!

Mild tasting alternative
This dairy-free cream cheese has a good, mild flavor that’s fairly neutral, but with a light sweetness. It’s not sharp, but creamy, pleasant, and definitely reminiscent of whipped cream cheese. There was something just slightly off on the texture, but I couldn’t pinpoint it. I was able to put it on a just toasted bagel and it didn’t melt in, which was actually nice! I think it would be a great spread for sandwiches, too. For frosting, you may need just a little squeeze of lemon to make it pop, but could be good as is.
