It's the original, is

It's the original, is there any other kind? This is my go to whenever I need cream cheese for a recipe. The package is marked for measurement like butter. It's the perfect texture too. It's pretty affordable, the grocery store brand is a bit cheaper, but I love the quality of this one.

Must have!

I absolutely have to have this product in my fridge at all times. It's a perfect addition to almost any meal, savory or sweet. Making a soup? Add a little cream cheese. Making a frosting? Add a little cream cheese. Just a little hungry? Grab a little cream cheese!

always a staple in my fridge!

Philadelphia cream cheese has been a game-changer for me! I love its smooth, creamy texture and perfectly balanced flavor. It pairs beautifully with both sweet and savory dishes—I spread it on toast in the morning, use it in pasta sauces, and it's an absolute must for desserts, especially cheesecakes. It's rich, versatile, and always a staple in my fridge!

I grew up using this brand, and see no reason to change it. Decently priced, as well as tastes good. That's a combination that can't be beat in my book. You can use it in a variety of ways, and in many dishes even. There's a French zucchini and summer squash dish my mom learned from her aunt, which I learned as I used to watch my mom cook when I was little. You cook zucchini, summer squash, onions, minced garlic, and corn in a pot, with just enough water to cover everything. Once they are mostly cooked, you add the cream cheese, and chili peppers. By the time the cream cheese melts, and incorporates into the water, it's a thick creamy sauce...depending on how much water is left in the pot when you add in the cream cheese. You talk about 1 tasty dish! Philadelphia cream cheese is by far, the best cream cheese I've ever used.

Standard and reliable. Great fit Schmearing on your favorite bagel or to add to any recipe. The block packaging is particularly good for baking as it's easily divided or does not require a utensil to be added I its entirety to a recipe. Affordable price point.

I don't really use this like most probably use it as, I don't use it on toast or a bagel. I stead, I cook with this very often. I make my own spreads, mix it with sour cream or cheese especially to make spreads or sauces for pastas and even bowls. Highly recommend to bake with as well!

My favorite way to

My favorite way to enjoy this cream cheese is on a warm bagel or mixed with sour cream and dry ranch seasoning for a wonderful veggie dip. Another good way to eat it is to stuff it in bacon wrapped banana peppers and throw it on the grill. It's also good to add to rotel cheese dip!

Creamy & Quality, Though a Bit Pricey

Philadelphia Plain Cream Cheese is a go-to for a reason. It's consistently smooth, rich, and spreads easily—perfect for bagels, baking, or recipes. The quality is noticeably better than many store brands. It goes with everything! It has a fresh, creamy taste. The only downside is the price, which feels a bit high for a basic staple. Still, the taste and texture make it worth keeping in the fridge.

Honestly it's one of the only cream cheese brands I really like. It's so creamy and smooth and tastes so good! My favorite is using it to make my chicken wing dip with. Everyone always asks me for the recipe and I tell them they have to use Philadelphia cream cheese.
