My 17 year old vegan son loves this on his bagels for breakfast and the occasional after school snack!

It doesn’t taste a whole lot like cream cheese, but the price is good and so is the flavor. The more I eat it the more I like it.

This is the best vegan cream cheese I have ever had

Would prefer to give it NO stars.
Terrible.
Coats the mouth with an oily feel, doesn’t taste anything like cream cheese and has no nutritional value.
It’s OIL-based, not food-based. Not like cashew, almond or SOY alternatives that are made from actual foods.
Removing soy-based cheese from the shelves was a huge mistake by TJ’s.
Holds true for the ice cream freezer too
All the cheese alternatives left (and yogurts, and ice creams too) are COCONUT-based, and we are all allergic to THAT.
It’s like the coconut lobby took over the food industry and wormed its way into every plant-based food around, including margarine, coffee creamers, nut milks of very kind, ice creams of every kind, and so on. Now WE are reading all the labels to find there are nearly no plant based dairy alternatives we can buy.
BAD MOVE!

There’s really no great flavor value good or bad. However there is no nutritional value either. And I still have the cream cheese made from chickpeas and coconut oil. I read somewhere it’s switching to soy I think that’s a bad move as well. I won’t be buying it if it’s switched to soy.

I regularly bought the previous formulation of TJ’s cream cheese. It was great on toast or bagels and in recipes (it did have the tiniest bit of chalkiness). The new version tastes like cream cheese, but the texture is hard and unspreadable. On a bagel or in a recipe, it melts rather than softens. The texture and behavior when heated it is more like vegan butter than cream cheese. Please, Please, Please bring back the old version. Or give people a choice and stock both. I love TJs vegan products. I just wish this one hadn’t changed.
