Aussies have rated Philadelphia as a return winner in Canstar Blue’s latest cream cheese ratings, with the brand rated five stars for taste, packaging convenience, variety & range, texture and overall satisfaction.
Our review compares cream cheese on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which cream cheese they think is best!
Canstar Blue surveyed 255 Australians for their feedback on the cream cheese(s) they’ve purchased from a supermarket or grocer and eaten in the last three months. Note: this does not include independent delis.
The winning brand is the one that receives the highest Overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the Overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.

Boasting a logo that resembles something delivered from the dairy heavens, Philadelphia offers both spreadable cream cheese tubs and blocks. The spreadable varieties are available in regular 140g and 250g tubs, plus smaller four-pack snack tubs (34g each), while the block versions come in 250g packs. Lactose-free options are available, in addition to flavoured cream cheese, cream cheese icing, and cream cheese for cooking.
