Daiya Plain Cream Cheese Style Spread is a dairy-free, lactose-free alternative to cream cheese sold in an 8-ounce tub. It is made from coconut oil and starches rather than cultured dairy, so it spreads straight from the fridge and suits vegans and anyone avoiding lactose. Compared with dairy cream cheese it is softer and tangier, with a slightly coconut-forward flavor; rivals like Violife and Kite Hill sit closer to the dairy original in texture. Reviewers split on the taste, but most agree it works best as a base for bagels, dips and baking rather than eaten plain.

Reviewers treat Daiya's plain spread as a serviceable dairy-free stand-in rather than a match for real cream cheese. Most praise the spreadability and the fact that it melts into dips and sauces, while the coconut note and thin texture draw the most complaints.
