[Allychristine]

Add your reviews to the thread (all brands welcome!), and I will add them to the compilation. The non-dairy ice cream review is separate, and can be found here: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=22710.0

"Cheese"
Cheezly-"Bacon" added
-makes fabulous panini!  I love it! (willwolf)
Cheezly-Cheddar slices

Cheezly-Cheddar mature red

Cheezly-Cheddar mature white
-I bought this yesterday from one of the local supermarkets.  It melted quite well for Cheez on toast and worked well on pizza.  My omni boyfriend was also quite impressed with it.  I liked it and I think it's one of the meltiest cheezes I have found.  (Shelloid)
-fine, but a little rough/gritty in texture, probably from all the potato starch in it. It's definitely a better cheese-and-crackers cheez. (fb)
Cheezly-Edam

Cheezly-Garlic and herb
-I bought a round of this at Food Fight on my trip to Portland.  Upon bringing it home and trying it I found the texture to be a bit grainy.  It crumbles quite a bit as well.  But overall the flavor is good, creamy and rich without being overpowering or chemical tasting. (cali)
Cheezly-Gouda

Cheezly-Mozzarella
-I think this may be my favorite vegan mozzarella.  It melts well and tastes great. (willwolf)
-It didn't melt for me. Turned into a kind of grainy mush. Pretty damn tasty, but not texturally amazing. (Narcissus)
Cheezly-Mozzarella slices

Cheezly-Nacho

Daiya-Cheddar
-It melts and stretches. I had it in a grilled cheese sandwich and it was the most amazing thing!! It melted, got gooey and stretchy and tasted just like cheese. Weirdest thing, it's made with Cassava!? So it's soy free too. I swear, I don't work for them but this is the closest thing I've had to real cheese EVER (w.m laura)
-Okay so it's only availabe in Canada right now (where it's made!) and at some pizza places in Los Angeles BUT you can buy it online at Pangea Vegan Store...check it out: http://www.veganstore.com/daiya-vegan-cheese-shreds/Page_1/209.html
cheddar is the best. Making grilled cheeses in my george foreman grill is my new raison d'etre! Okay and it's expensive with the shipping but I didn't get the super fast shipping, I just got it with a freezer pack and crossed my fingers. It arrived via UPS ground 5 days later and was totally fine. I've been eating it at pretty much ever meal. (w.m. laura)
-I made broccoli beer cheese soup tonight using Daiya, and it was freakin' GOOD. I was a little nervous about the flavor since most vegan cheeses are only good when baked - but Daiya was amazing & added to the flavor, thickness, and creaminess. (jessacita)
-OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U guys... it's finally here!!! Vegan cheese that melts like cheese, has the same texture as melted cheese, tastes almost just like melted cheese! U need to by it i swear i can't stop eating it. It does smell a little off... i don't think i could eat it raw. both were good i thought the cheddar was a bit better (amymylove)
-I've tried this in quesadilla format and by itself so far. It's pretty good, and though it's stretchy, it's not stretchy in the same way cheese it. It's, how do I say, a softer stretch? It's interesting - I didn't expect the stretchiness to help along its "cheesiness" a lot, but it does, it gives it a lot better "authenticity." The taste is pretty much like processed cheddar. It's nothing "complex" or fancy, just like stuff kids would eat. I like it enough to get it at my local WF when it arrives, but not enough to order online again (it nearly melted in 2-day transit with cold packs, but then again, it was triple digits here). My non-vegetarian boyfriend, on the other hand, was much more enthusiastic: Initially, he wanted to make sure with me it wasn't cheese, and suggested the company was faking us vegans out just like those Emes gel people. Then he said he'd never know the difference. THEN he called up his MOM to tell her about how amazing this cheese was and how if she was ever considering trying fake cheese (this was all out of the blue), that she should try this one because she wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I guess now I can stop spelling imitation cheese with a cheez or chz or chiz or whatever. (fb)
-This cheese is AMAZING guys!!!  There is a chain around here called zpizza that has it as a topping option.  It's hands down the best veg cheese I've ever tasted, with absolutely no "odd" soy aftertaste.  Consistency is right on too.  It would be PERFECT for grilled cheese!! (GreenT)
-it's so weird, it seems like the non-vegans are digging the stuff more so than vegans are! but I'm pretty into it myself... I think it's super delicious.  I don't really think it actually tastes like cheese, but it's good anyway! (tweedle)
Daiya-Italian/Mozzarella
-Okay so it's only availabe in Canada right now (where it's made!) and at some pizza places in Los Angeles BUT you can buy it online at Pangea Vegan Store...check it out: http://www.veganstore.com/daiya-vegan-cheese-shreds/Page_1/209.html
reallllllly good . Making grilled cheeses in my george foreman grill is my new raison d'etre! Okay and it's expensive with the shipping but I didn't get the super fast shipping, I just got it with a freezer pack and crossed my fingers. It arrived via UPS ground 5 days later and was totally fine. I've been eating it at pretty much ever meal. (w.m. laura)
-Wow!  It is amazing.  It's a little more like American cheese than mozzarella but, still, it was a fabulous pizza experience.  I ate the whole thing.  My omni husband was duly impressed and even said that he would eat it instead of real cheese next time!  (veggydog)
-I got to try the Italian blend on pizza at a WF in Vegas - amazing!  It really does get all melty like dairy cheese, but it has it's own great taste. (icephrosty)
-OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U guys... it's finally here!!! Vegan cheese that melts like cheese, has the same texture as melted cheese, tastes almost just like melted cheese! U need to by it i swear i can't stop eating it. It does smell a little off... i don't think i could eat it raw (amymylove)
-I made a pizza and calzone last night w/ italian blend and it was really yummy! I was a little nervous when it got here because it was room temp, but I went for it, (not givin any to the kiddo just to be safe,) and neither my BF or I got sick, so it must have just had a "cheesey" smell to it....(babysgotsauce)
-I've tried the Italian Daiya twice now on pizza, and I have to admit that I feel conflicted. The texture is thicker and stretchier than any other vegan cheese I've tried, but it's also sticky. The flavor is so, so, so much like a processed American cheese food slice. Kinda gooey/salty/not occurring in nature type of consistency and taste. I'm planning to order some and try it in my own kitchen to figure out a more appetizing way to prepare it, but to me that kind of flavor does nothing to enhance the quality of my food. I'm bummed.  (mamaanna)
-i tried some daiya at a restaurant yesterday on pizza and it is definitely stretchy and more mozzarella-looking than other vegan cheeses ive tried.  the mouthfeel is different though - it's more creamy and thick feeling than chewy like mozzarella.  it was good and my omni friend even liked it on her pizza but it's not something that i would really spend tons of money for. (ppc)
-So far we've had this on pizza and in a quesadilla. It melts well, and it sure enough does burn just like cheese when it's on the bare crust or pan (and it tastes EXACTLY like burnt cheese, which sounds weird, but it's true). It's more mild than the cheddar. Also, though it does burn like dairy cheese, it doesn't have that burning pattern dairy cheese does on pizza (with little splotches of slight burntness), it's just uniform. It does stretch, but not as far as dairy cheese (but whatever!). So far, I think I like the cheddar better as it's "shaper" and it works better in the quesadillas, but this is probably best for pizza. Next pizza will be a Italian/cheddar blend! FYI, it takes about a half of a half pound package for a pizza. (fb)
-I didn't like it at all. I keep telling myself just give up trying vegan cheese because I'm always disappointed. This time it was the texture. It is a very weird texture, and it really gave me the willies. It reminded me of snot! Hahaha, sorry to gross anyone out, but I'm being completely honest. I wish I had asked for the pizza with no cheese at all. However, my husband (who eats real cheese) really enjoyed it. (nightbloomers)
Dr cow-Aged cashew nut cheese
-Now this stuff is interesting. I want to say it's mild and at the same time I want to say it's strong... Let's put it this way: it's cheesey, but it's not sour like some sharp cheeses. It's pleasant (I would definitely say it's not one of those "acquired taste" or love/hate things, like nutritional yeast seems to be). At first I thought it was kind of boring, but after savoring it, it's got a sort of a "complex" taste I guess you could say (like some cheese!). I'm glad I tried it, and it's too bad it's so expensive. However, it lasted me longer than I thought it would. Also, I would recommend just eating it straight, without crackers/bread/etc, because I think those things take over the flavor (hence me calling it mild). I want to try the other varieties now! These are small (think a quarter cup measure plus a little), so if you order it over the internet or something, just keep in mind you're treating yourself to a $7 delicacy. (fb)

Follow your heart-Cream cheese
-This tastes exactly like Tofutti to me, but it's a *lot* more expensive at my HFS. (Sharway)
-I used it to make cream cheese icing for carrot cake and it came out great!  I sampled a little before adding in the icing sugar and it was "just ok".  I would never use this plain on a bagel. (icephrosty)
Follow your heart (vegan gourmet)-Cheddar
-smells really gross, but not that bad in a mac and cheese stuff. (ponycakes)
-pretty good, and seems to be lower in fat than the mozzerella. I've tried to use it on nachos, though, and it solidifies waaaay too quickly... oh well =/ (fb)
-We really don't like this...I was expecting so much more from this, and the mozzarella. The cheddar is actually kind of gross..the mozarella is ok. The cheddar one has an odd taste..and the texture doesn't really help much. I don't understand why so many people like this! I'm sticking with my Tofutti. (AC)
-really off-putting to me when I am handling it, but once it has (finally) melted, it's always fine.  Also, they get moldy relatively quickly so you better have plans for that whole block. (veganfilmjunkie)
-weird (ponycakes).
- kinda weird.  And I always melt it in a saucepan before I put it on anything....otherwise it won't melt....ever....(erinmonster)
-lacks taste... and at almost $5 a block I want taste. (hotchef84)
Follow your heart (vegan gourmet)-Monterey jack
-This is my favorite of the FYH vegan cheese line.  It works well for everything. (willwolf)
-Definitely needs to be melted to be enjoyed. Probably the mildest of all the FYH cheeses and is fine. Satisfactory, but fake cheese still has ways to go...(fb)
-didn't like it (veganfilmjunkie)
-I only like this  melted. It does smell pretty nasty (sometimes I try to get someone else to grate it for me heh) but the smell goes away after it gets yummy and melty in the oven. Like it. (ponycakes)
-shredded on pizza with a little olive oil brushed on top of it is pretty great! (lubi)
-only kind of cheese I like....I think the mozzarella and monterrey jack are pretty much the same thing,  And I always melt it in a saucepan before I put it on anything....otherwise it won't melt....ever.... (erinmonster)
Follow your heart (vegan gourmet)-Mozzarella
-amazing. if i make a pizza, this is on it. mm. also tasty on pasta casserole dishes. (ponycakes)
-great. i use it in vegan calzones; it's the best "cheese" for pizza-type stuffs. a lot of fat though! (fb)
-I was slightly disappointed, but it might have been b/c of my preparation. I put it on a grilled sandwich...so it wasn't quite melted all the way. It had a weird texture-kind of mealy/grainy...I'm probably going to make a pizza at some point, so I'll report back. (AC)
-I love this but don't buy it much...I think most cheese products are too expensive and there are too many yummy alternatives that I could create. (THHF)
-really off-putting to me when I am handling it, but once it has (finally) melted, it's always fine.  I tried the monterey jack and didn't like it.  Also, they get moldy relatively quickly so you better have plans for that whole block. (veganfilmjunkie)
-only kind of cheese I like....I think the mozzarella and monterrey jack are pretty much the same thing, And I always melt it in a saucepan before I put it on anything....otherwise it won't melt....ever....(erinmonster)
-love it (hotchef84)
-I really love this.  I cut it into bits and put it on a pizza.  It melted perfectly (at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes) and was really smooth.  I can't wait to use up the rest of the block! (KMK)
Follow your heart (vegan gourmet)-Nacho
-I like this flavor the best. (mdv)
-pretty good.  I like it on top of veggie burgers or shredded over tortilla chips. (icephrosty)
Galaxy nutritional foods-Block cheddar
- I don't really know why I bought it...it was just there.  I'm not really impressed, not much flavor.  In fact I am trying to think of ways to sneak it in foods so I won't waste it. (Jane M)
-Blah. Bland... I'd much rather have FYH cheddar. (fb)
Galaxy nutritional foods-Block mozzarella

Galaxy nutritional foods-Parmesan topping
-It's ok... I don't think much of any of the parm subs out there, but this is the best imho... definitely can taste nutritional yeast in it, but it works in recipes that don't require too too much parm. (fb)
-Amazing. i use it on pasta, pasta salad, caesar salad, pizza, etc. my tastebuds think its real parmesan! (brooke)
Galaxy nutritional foods-Rice slices American

Galaxy nutritional foods-Rice slices cheddar

Galaxy nutritional foods-Rice slices pepper jack
-This is my favorite packaged vegan cheez to put on sandwiches.  It is really good, and a bit spicy but not too bad.  The only thing that sucks about it is the price, also sometimes the slices break apart when I'm trying to get the plastic off.  Still, they're good for an occasional treat, not really a staple on my budget. (berryraw)
Galaxy nutritional foods-Slices American
-they smell awful but are decent for vegan cheese. though they dont compare to tofutti. (brooke)
-These are ok. They melt nicely, and have an ok texture. I didn't even think they smelled that bad. They don't have much flavor, though..so, they are just meh. (AC)
Galaxy nutritional foods-Slices mozzarella

Parma (eat in the raw)-Chipotle cayenne
-This is just as good as the original Parma, but with just a bit of kick from the added spices. (willwolf)
Parma (eat in the raw)-Original
-This is really tasty and great to sprinkle on just about everything.  It's just a simple mixture of nutritional yeast, raw organic walnuts, and Celtic sea salt, but it's nice to have it already made up and in a shaker container. (willwolf)
-This stuff is seriously addicting!  I love it on salads, pizza, sprinkled over veggies and just about anything else.  It's a really versatile ingredient  Smiley   The main problem is that it's too good and I can't afford to buy it all the time. (icephrosty)
Play food-Cheezy cheeze
-(in a tub, not sliceable) like a cheddar-based. I like this warmed up. One of my favorite veg*n restaurants makes an AWESOME vegan grilled cheeze with cheezy cheeze, tomatoes, pickles, and hummus on garlic toast--yum. This would be an awesome (but potentially expensive) base for mac and cheeze. (caroleena)
Play food-Cream tang
-like a sour cream. Again I had texture issues here--I like my sour cream smoother. Also, I thought that the cashew taste was most pronounced here. (caroleena)
Play food-Nacheezmo
-(in a tub, not sliceable) this is by far my favorite--I love the extra spices added. It's fantastic on Mexican food. I like it on top of tacos or in salads. (caroleena)
Play food-Whip cheeze
-like a cream cheeze. It's yummy enough, but I had a texture issue here. I prefer my cream cheeze to be just a little more... solid, maybe? Like tofutti cream cheeze. I used this in a recipe (vegan-ized version of mushroom phyllo triangles) and it worked wonderfully, though. (caroleena)
Pure soya-Slices
-quite cheap - cheaper than the toffuti slices - and 10 in a pack BUT really lack flavour.  I think they're quite bland.  They also didn't melt on my pizza, whereas the toffuti ones did.  The bonus of the pure slices are that the supermarkets stock them so they are easier to get hold of than other vegan cheeses.  The inly reason I would get them again is if I didn't have chance to get to a healthfood shop for the toffuti ones. (Shelloid)
Road's end-123'z and chreeze
-this product is so good! the sauce is neon-orange and its full of garlic and ny flavor. i don't eat it very often because i like making my own, but its worth trying when you are not in the mood to cook! (Brooke)
-This is my favorite Road's end pasta mix, and it's all right. The packet really doesn't make a whole lot of sauce, and I made the mistake of adding extra soymilk the first time to yield more sauce - it made it really bland. If you want more sauce out of it, add more EB or even water! (fb)
-not impressed.  The only thing it has in common with traditional boxed mac & cheese is the box.  The colors pretty close too.  Otherwise the pasta itself is way too small so i felt like i was barely even chewing it & the sauce flavor is pretty blah.  it doesnt taste bad but it's not worth the price especially when theres so many super easy recipes out there that have flavor with so much more depth.  i ended up adding a bunch more salt, some miso, rice wine vinegar and white wine vinegar to spruce it up.  waste - o - money. (propinecone)
-We tried this kind a while back and its so gross......neither one of us could eat more than a few bites....and its pretty hard to gross me out! (erinmonster)

-Ugh. Does not taste like alfredo/cheese. It doesn't taste bad, mind you, it's just that it's only similarity to alfredo, for me, is that it's pale. (fb)
Road's end-Nacho chreese dip (mild)
-Egh. I should have noticed before purchasing that this stuff has more tomatoes in it than anything else - it tastes very tomato-y and is kind of sour... not too cheesy at all. Make a cheese sauce recipe from vegweb rather than buying this... However, if I had bought it as salsa and 'cheese' pureed together, I might have liked it more.(fb)
Road's end-Nacho chreese dip (spicy)

Road's end-Penne and chreese (gluten free)

Road's end-Shells and chreese
-Meh. I dunno why I expected this to be any good, but it's not. I need to give up on these things. It's bland, and slightly gross. Don't expect it to be like any kind of boxed mac and cheese. (AC)
Sheese-Blue
-Good blue cheese flavor, but smells like play-doh (mdv)
-I tried this for the first time today and really liked it.  This surprised me as I've previously tried the smoked style and thought it tasted plastic-y.  The blue style had a nice tang to it, but I'm not really sure it tasted much like I remember stilton and such like tasting.  I think it's my favourite 'cheeze' I've tried and I'll probably buy it again. (shelloid)
Sheese-Cheddar with chives
-I bought a round of this at Food Fight on my trip to Portland.  Upon bringing it home and trying it I found it to be a very lush and rich cheese.  The flavor is quite good with just the right amount of herbs to give it depth.  The texture is great and it is best sliced very thinly, like with a peeler.  If you wish to melt it use a very fine grate so it has a chance to melt down better. (cali)
Sheese-Cheshire

Sheese-Edam

Sheese-Gouda
-This isn't very good. It's ok, and it's not gross..but it doesn't have much flavor. The texture is fine (and I would guess the same texture as the other sheeses?), but there's just not any taste...except maybe an odd taste. (AC)
Sheese-Medium cheddar

Sheese-Mozzarella

Sheese-Smoked cheddar
-This is the only flavor of the Sheese line that I've tried.  I like this straight up with crackers (It's so nice having crackers and cheese again!).  I've never cooked with it.  Unfortunately, I've only been able to purchase this online, so I don't get it often and only when ordering other things.(willwolf)
-Again had a weird plastic aftertaste.  It was too smokey for my liking, but I guess that's my own fault for buying the smoked style.  It melted quite well on a toasted sandwich, but not melty enough for my liking on pizza. (Shelloid)
-We like this! It has a nice flavor. I think there is a bit of an off flavor, but that's to be expected. I mean, it's obviously not exactly like smoked cheddar cheese, but it is enjoyable just to eat (with crackers, and what not). I'm glad we tried it. (AC)
Sheese-Strong cheddar
-I actually don't mind it. It smells like cheddar cheese. The texture is very good. The taste is a good approximation, though not perfect. I like eating it on crackers and with apples. Not bad, not bad at al (in grilled cheese)l. I wish the cheese was a bit more melty, but it did get nice and soft and smooth in the heated pan. I have a feeling that if I could cook it longer, it would melt more, but my bread would have burned in another minute so I had to take it off the stove. Overall, I'm not disgusted....this is the first vegan cheese where I'm not (the Follow Your Heart cheddar ended up in the compost, at least the ants that found it seemed to like it)...and actually quite pleased. Won't fool cheese-lovers, but an acceptable substitute. (hopfrog)
- This was pretty darn good, but for something I expected to taste like the bright orange sharp cheddar of old it fell a bit before the mark. But it was still tasty if I did not compare it to my mental memory of real cheddar. (wassernixe)
Sheese-Creamy cheddar
- This was the first non-tofutti cheeze spread I've tried and it was not good.  It had a weird plastic aftertaste and I didn't think it tastes of cheese from what I remember. (Shelloid)
- Now this was yummy. It had a faint cheddar color, which probably helped me mentally.  It also surprisingly smelled like cheddar to me as well. And once I spread it on a slice of bread I was ecstatic. It had that perfect almost cheddary taste and unlike some brands was not too salty. (wassernixe)
Sheese-Creamy chives

Sheese-Creamy garlic and herb
- This too was super delicious. To me it tasted just like those Alloutte bread spreads. It tastes a little bit cream cheesy but is full of herby goodness. I really enjoyed this one the most. I think it will be perfect on my morning roll or toast. (wassernixe)
Sheese-Creamy Mexican

Sheese-Creamy original
-I bought a tub of this on impulse today and I kind of wish I hadn't.  It had the familiar plastic-y aftertaste.  Don't think I'll bother with it again. (Shelloid)
Sunergia-Soy bleu
-Potent stuff! It tastes good and very cheesy, but I don't remember bleu cheese well enough to tell whether it tastes like that particular kind. It's a pretty small block, but it's strong enough to last. (fb)
Sunergia-Soy feta lemon oregano
-I think all of the flavors are okay.  I use it to make a Greek dish with tomatoes, chickpeas, kalamata olives, and lots of garlic.  I think the texture is a little off - sort of like thawed and frozen tofu? (mdv)
Sunergia-Soy feta Mediterranean herb
-I think all of the flavors are okay.  I use it to make a Greek dish with tomatoes, chickpeas, kalamata olives, and lots of garlic.  I think the texture is a little off - sort of like thawed and frozen tofu? (mdv)
-Also strong. I don't recall feta tasting/smelling this strong. It's pretty good, but pretty dry and a teency bit crumbly. I'd buy it again, and I'm planning on trying the other flavors. My boyfriend thought it smelled like bad feet - which is good for "cheese"! (fb)
Sunergia-Soy feta tomato garlic
-think all of the flavors are okay.  I use it to make a Greek dish with tomatoes, chickpeas, kalamata olives, and lots of garlic.  I think the texture is a little off - sort of like thawed and frozen tofu? (mdv)
Teese-Cheddar
-This is pretty good on a sandwich and really good in mac 'n cheeze.  I haven't tried it plain because it feels a little too slimy!  I used it a lot for grilled cheeze sandwiches.  I would definitely recommend this variety. (icephrosty)
-I tried this in shells and cheeze, and it was all right. However, I did make it with roasted poblanos (really good), and some field roast "sausage" that I wasn't a big fan of...so that might have ruined it a bit. I haven't really been all too impressed with the teese. Weird texture, weird smell..I dunno. I'll try some on a sandwich, though. (AC)
-Tried a teeny piece cold. Ppc and I agreed that it was more like Kraft Singles in taste and texture. Didn't try it melted though..(ponycakes)
-I put cheddar and mozzarella on a small pizza.  The cheddar didn't melt as readily as the mozzarella.  It also smells bad cold or warm and doesn't taste all that great.  I'll try it for a grilled cheese.  I don't feel like this was worth nearly five bucks.  If I was going to melt cheese, I'd make Dragonfly's Bulk, Dry Uncheese Mix. (hh)
Teese-Creamy cheddar
-like the softer cheddar they make for mac and cheese. Kinda gross when I opened the package. A lot of "juice" came out and it had that icky smell, but I put a few blobs into my mac and cheese with some Earth Balance (shoulda left that out and added soymilk instead..made it a little too greasy) and hot dogs and WOW! I didn't even have to turn the burner back on for it to melt! The taste was a lot like a cross between Velveeta and the boxed Kraft stuff. Really really amazing. My little brother is pretty open to trying my food, so I called him out to try some and he loved it, as did my mom. My dad thought it smelled bad though :\ I guess it was a little strong smelling, though the taste was mild. If you have a chance to buy this, doooo iiiiiit!  (ponycakes)
Teese-Mozzarella
-This cheese melts easier than the FYH.  Teese has a soft, almost fresh mozzarella-like texture, and smells really close to dairy cheese.  I think this cheese is pretty tasty, but I can only purchase it online (I get it at Vegan Essentials), so I only get it when placing an order for other goodies every few months.  I don't think this cheese is so much better than FYH mozzarella that it's worth the shipping cost unless you're already ordering other things.  The main thing I like about Teese vs FYH is that Teese lasts much longer in the refrigerator.  I've had unopened packages of Teese in my refrigerator for several months.  Opened packages of Teese also last much longer than FYH, generally for a month or so. (willwolf)
-I had Teese vegan cheese for the first time when I ordered pizza from Purgatory Pizza in Los Angeles. www.eatpurgatorypizza.com. While it doesn't have the same stringy, melty properties of dairy mozzarella cheese on pizza, it still tasted very, very good. Teese  (www.teesecheese.com) melts better than the other vegan cheeses I have tried. Yes, it actually melted and didn't just look like soft white plastic blanketing my triangle of pizza. Teese also didn't have a weird aftertaste and is way better than the non-dairy cheese they use to make the vegan pizzas at Whole Foods. Having tried Teese, I think I actually might buy it now buy it and to try it on a panini or pizza at home. (Saskia)
-Melts better than FYH.  Slippery texture, slightly saltier than FYH, too.  I prefer it. (mdv)
-Much softer and slimier than FYH.  A little saltier and needs to be pre-melted just like FYH.  Would not eat it plain.  For a full dollar more, not worth it.  Not impressed. (erinmonster)
-I put cheddar and mozzarella on a small pizza.  Relative to other fake cheese, the mozzarella smells and tastes (cold or warm) pretty good.  I didn't get a stringy effect, but maybe I didn't heat it for long enough.  I'd buy this cheese again, but not regularly - and I wouldn't pay shipping and handling for it. (hh)
Teese-Nacho
-This is..all right. I think it's a bit weird. I might not have prepared it correctly..because I just melted it in the microwave, and used it on baked potatoes, but it had a slightly weird texture, and the flavor was lacking/weird. It might be better with other things. (AC)
Tofutti cream cheese-Cheddar
-My discount health food store had Tofutti Cream Cheese for 99 Cents so I bought a bunch. Didn't realize till I got home that it was orange and "cheddar" flavor! I have never seen this before! Its actually really good. I made a patty  melt with it (veg burger with the cheese and grilled bread with pickles!) I also think it will make a good spinach artichoke dip. Usually when things end up at this store, it means its being discontinued or not selling well. Did anyone else ever see this product? If you do, try it! (L2A)
-I thought this was gonna be so freaking awesome...but I wasn't that impressed. I used it to make mac and cheese and it was awful. It was my fault, though. I let the color deceive me. It looked so orange and creamy I thought it would be scrumptious but i barely ate it....I haven't seem it since then, so maybe it was like a trial run or something...boo, me cuz I paid full price.

-Tastes like... slighly artificial nothing. Pretty boring. The alleged garlic and herbs are present more as an occasional fleck of green than any real taste. I don't think it's worth the expenditure. (Narcissus)
Tofutti cream cheese-Herbs and chives
-It's nothing terribly special but it's good on a bagel. Not too herby or chivey tasting, to be honest. But it does have hydrogenated oils. I'd rather buy the unhydrogenated kind and chop in my own chives. (Sharway)
Tofutti cream cheese-Non-hydrogenated
-so amazing. i prefer this kind over the original plain. it actually tastes like real cream cheese. i love it on toasted bagels or english muffins, crackers, grilled sandwiches, etc. its so versatile. (brooke)
-pretty good, but i actually think the hydrogenated one tastes better! somehow, i find this one more pasty. (fb)
-A good basic... and this from a former cream-cheese-addict! Not too beany or strange tasting, IMO (Sharway)
-What can I say Yummy! (ThHF)
Tofutti cream cheese-Plain
-mmm. if you thin it with some soymilk, add onion, horseradish and veg Worcestershire , it makes a tasty chip dip. i love this stuff. (ponycakes)
-From my not-too-distant memories of cream cheese, this stuff is pretty much spot-on! the taste and texture are both great, and it works SO well for spreads and "cheesecake." (CW)
-really good, I usually put it on bagels.  It has no after taste and is smooth and creamy.   (cococo)
-It does taste like cream cheese! but if you have the option, go for the non-hydrogenated for an even more authentic taste. (brooke)
-This is another one of those things that I really want to like.  I’ve tried it on a bagel & I really dislike the flavor.  Some day I would like to try making a cheesecake or icing out of it to see if I like it that way. (purpledancer)
-i love this stuff. it was one of the first "fake" things i tried when i went vegan, and i didn't think it tasted too too much like real cream cheese; it's sweeter and less tangy (but that makes me like it even more). i thin it with some water for "sour cream" for nachos. (fb)
-good but I like the new "non" better. (THHF)
Tofutti-American
-really good, and they melt nice too (at least the first time).  (cococo)
-these are fabulous. they make a perfect, comforting grilled cheese sandwich. i love these x's 1000! (brooke)
-We tried some kind of vegan cheese (might have been rice cheese) when we first went vegan...but it was completely disgusting, and I threw it out. This is the first "cheese" that I've bought since then (my store just started carrying it), and it is SOSOSO good! We had grilled cheeses..and they were so very yummy! I'll probably have to try really hard to not buy this every week! Mmmm.  (AC)
-good taste - just like the crappy american cheese slices that i have fond memories of. pretty good on pizza, but the oil does tend to separate out. (fb)
Tofutti-Mozzarella
-really good, and they melt nice too (at least the first time).  The mozzerella is a bit blander than I like it but I am  used to using provolone instead of mozzerella.  If it had a bit more of a bite or a hint of a smoky flavor then it would be perfection. (cococo)
-good taste, but i prefer the FYH for pizza. (fb)
-This is really good! It melts wonderfully, it has a great taste, and it even has a bit of a bite. It's good! (AC)
-these are my new favorite! they do taste a bit similar to the american slices, but it doesn't matter. they melt and work perfectly as a cheese substitute. love!!! (Brooke)
Veganrella-Mozzarella
-It melts nicely, but it's kind of sticky and I can taste the.....rice......Isn't my favorite really. (fufuberry)
Wayfare foods-We can't say it's cheese cheddar style dip
-Another good one. This is pretty similar to the mexi style, actually. It's just a little less spiced. Good! (AC)
Wayfare foods-We can't say it's cheese cheddar style spread
-I was slightly disappointed with this flavor. The hickory style set my expectations way high. It's ok, but there's something about the flavor that's off for me. (AC)
Wayfare foods-We can't say it's cheese hickory smoked cheddar style spread
-Yummy!!! I think this is our favorite cheese spread, ever. Out of all cheeses (dairy, and otherwise). It's a creamy spread that's cheezy, and smoky. It's also soyfree, made mostly from organic oatmeal! Plusssssssssss, it's made in Bozeman, MT! I think they are trying to stock the product in different locations, so I don't know if it's anywhere else, yet, and I don't know that it's available for order, but it's really good. I'm so excited to try the other flavors. I've just dipped bread in it, but I know someone who has made a grilled cheeze, and mac and cheeze. Yay. (AC)
Wayfare foods-We can't say it's cheese mexi style cheddar style dip
-Amazing! I might even like this better than the hickory spread. It's sooooooooooo good on nachos. A great dip! Love it. (AC)
"Milk"
365 (Whole Foods)-Original
-I like this a lot.  Not too thick, not too watery.  It has a nice unadultered soybean taste, which I like.  Good mellow sweetness. (KMK)
365-Vanilla
-Tastes a little like liquid Play-Doh. (saskia)

8th Continent light soymilk-Original
-My husband loves this for drinking or cereal. (THHF)
8th Continent light soymilk-Vanilla
-A girl in Wal-mart recommended this brand to me when I was standing sadly in front of the shelf of soymilk stacked with brands I don't like. It's in the refrigerated section by the Silk and stuff. Yummy on cereal. I'm not too sure how I feel about it out of the glass. It is sweet and thicker than I'm used to. This might be my imagination, but it tastes a little bit coconutty..hm. I think I like it..(ponycakes)
-Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! WTF is this crap? Really do not like Soy mylk at all anymore (uzbekjoe)

Almond breeze-Chocolate
-yum, i always make sure to have a little carton in the fridge/pantry. very creamy and it has a great chocolate flavor. (brooke)
-very chocolatey! but there's a bit of wateriness to it (as i find all almond milks). that can be forgiven, though (chocolate!!) (fb)
-I like all kinds. (Laura)
-Hmmm. This was my first time trying almond milk, and I was not impressed at all. I was actually quite disappointed! It seems that everyone loves almond milk. P had regular almond milk before, but hated this chocolate! The chocolate soymilks we've had are SO much better. This was a bit bitter, watery, and barely chocolaty. Oh well! I tried it. (AC)
-terrific as a snack (blackrabbit)
Almond breeze-Original
-Love it. (malevolence)
-I like all kinds. (Laura)
-my absolutely favorite milk, vanilla and plain are both fine, and it's nice and thick (veganfilmjunkie)
-This is the almond nondairy beverage my local Trader Joe's sells. I haven't tried cooking with it, since I'm on a raw kick, but I use it in my smoothies. Very good! It has a light, creamy texture that doesn't taste overwhelmingly of almonds. It's a good complement for sweet fruit, especially peaches. (Peaches + almond milk + maple syrup = ULTIMATE DELICIOUSNESS). However, when I put it in my morning coffee, this milk seemed thin and watery. Even though I shook the carton there were little white flakes floating around, which was unappetizing. And it didn't really change the taste of the drink overall. So the verdict: for hot beverages, I'll stick to soy milk. But for smoothies: absolutely.   (blackrabbit)
-I use it in cereal, in cooking...its really good, and Publix(grocery store here) always has it on sale 2 for $5.00 (potatohead)
Almond breeze-Unsweetened
-My fave! Couldn't live without that. (crsymes)
-I like this for savory or sweet dishes. (THHF)
Almond breeze-Vanilla
-creamy, sweet, and goes well in dry breakfast cereal. (brooke)
-(unsweetened) I love this stuff!  It's a shame it's so expensive. (mdv)
-I use this on my cereal – very tasty.  Good for baking. (purpledancer)
-thinner than soymilk, maybe even sweeter, but it'll do. (fb)
-I like all kinds. (Laura)
-my absolutely favorite milk, vanilla and plain are both fine, and it's nice and thick (veganfilmjunkie)
Almond dream-Original

Almond dream-Unsweetened
-I bought a huge container of this thinking it would be as good as Almond Breeze.  Not so.  I absolutely hate it!!  It might be ok for baking, but it tastes disgusting on it's own. (icephrosty)
Alpro soya-Light
- A little thinner. Sweet. Tastes slightly... not wrong, per se, but different. (narcissus)
Alpro soya-Original
-Similar to Silk, perhaps slightly sweeter. Nutty taste. Not particularly creamy, but not thin like almond or rice milk. (narcissus)
Alpro soya-Unsweetened
- Soy taste more pronounced, similar texture. (narcissus)
Archer farms-Chocolate
-really good.  I like them better than rice dream's comparable products, and they are cheaper too. (cococo)
Archer farms-Plain
-really good.  I like them better than rice dream's comparable products, and they are cheaper too. (cococo)

Living harvest hempmilk-Chocolate
-This stuff was pretty pleasant. Its taste and consistency was somewhere between soy and rice milk. This was the first flavor I got in case I needed chocolate to cover up the flavor, which worked. I still prefer soy, though, and probably won't get this again unless it goes on mega sale. (fb)
-runny and weird and I only used it in smoothies (veganfilmjunkie)
Living harvest hempmilk-Original
-to me, it had a really neutral taste and the consistency was exactly the same as soy milk, so if you can afford it, I'd really get this as your "normal" milk to cut back on soy and to support hemp farming (veganfilmjunkie)
Living harvest hempmilk-Unsweetened original
-This is just as good as the vanilla version!  I thought it might be bland, but it's definitely not.  Just an FYI...do not use it in coffee (hot or iced) because it separates and looks pretty gross! (icephrosty)
Living harvest hempmilk-Unsweetened vanilla
-I absolutely love this stuff.  It's really creamy and tastes great on my morning cereal. (icephrosty)
Living harvest hempmilk-Vanilla
-At the first sip, I had that "wtf IS this?" moment (memories of my first time trying soy...), but I adjusted. It definitely tastes nutty and it isn't overly sweet. I wouldn't drink it on its own but used it for cereal. Also, I tried it in hot chai and it curdled. I heard it does that in coffee too. Still drinkable, but not attractive. (fb)
Natura-Chocolate
-This is the only Natura flavour that I actually like. Not as good as other chocolate kinds, but still pretty yummy. (Laura)
Natura-Original
-(I think only available in Canada): ICK. Disgusting. Don't even bother. (Laura)
- this is my FAVOURITE soymilk for cereal, in hot drinks like tea & hot chocolate, hot cereal, baking, etc. I find some soy milks too 'strong' (very soy-tasting, like So Good, especially when heated) Natur-a is not like this so much so I find it's more versatile. Not to mention it's organic, & somehow cheaper than most other soymilks available to me. I have tried So Good, Silk, So Nice, Sensational Soy (also pretty good, organic and cheap! but not vegan), and various no-name soymilks, and this one remains my favourite. (tino)
-without a doubt it is the best soymilk I have ever tried...so light tasting and no strong "soy" taste.  I also like that it can be bought in smaller tetra packs as I don't always finish a carton of soymilk before it goes bad. (happypanda)

Nature's promise-Organic original
-Giant Foods' organic store-brand soymilk.  Not only do I love supporting them for the fact that they have a store-brand soymilk, but it's way cheaper than Silk.  Unfortunately, they do not have an unsweetened kind, and the plain is pretty sweet (sweeter than plain Silk) so you can't cook with it. It is a great deal though and whenever I go to Giant I try to get one and use it in cereal, smoothies, desserts, etc. (veganfilmjunkie)

Pacific natural foods-All natural hazelnut chocolate
-I haven't tried it yet, but I was soooooooooo psyched to find CHOCOLATE hazelnut milk!!  (icephrosty)
-The taste is almost like drinking Nutella (in a good way, not in an overwhelming way). This was sooo tasty. My roommate bought a 4-pack (each at 8 ounces each) and they were great. I shook mine beforehand because she said that hers got "creamy" at the bottom, which is her way of saying stuff had settled. One caveat... if you're looking for a plain chocolate "milk" flavor, this is not it. You can definitely taste the hazelnuts. I love hazelnuts, so I'm fine with this. I'll definitely be having this again. (misa)

Pacific natural foods-Almond
-Gross. It's grainy and watery... Almond Breeze is way better. (fb)
Pacific natural foods-Almond vanilla
-I like the flavor of this a lot, but it isn't fortified with calcium or many vitamins/minerals, so I rarely buy it. (icephrosty)
Pacific natural foods-Chocolate
-Eh. At first I really liked it, but it kind of just tastes like plain soymilk with cheap chocolate syrup added in. (fb)
Pacific natural foods-Hazelnut
-I like this stuff. It's subtley hazelnut-y (I thought it might be overpowering), but is a little thin like almond milk is. Still, I like it better than almond milk, and it makes excellent hot chocolate. It's too bad this isn't a more popular milk sub, since I don't really like Pacific's almond milk/milk subs in general, and some other brand could probably make an excellent version of this. My only complaint is it's a tad... greasy? I guess it's hard to emulsify a nut milk, but I only noticed it when I used it to lighten my tea. Nothing disturbing, but it's noticeable. (fb)
-gross, runny, and brown; but my non-veg friend really liked it, so it was probably just me.  If you have the money, it's probably a good fresh alternative for coffee creamer. (veganfilmjunkie)
-I really enjoyed this the first time I had it, but I recently bought it again and thought it was way too sweet!  It's also a little "thin" for my liking.  I do think it's pretty omni-friendly because some of my friends tried it and thought it was good. (icephrosty)
Pacific natural foods-Hemp original

Pacific natural foods-Organic almond

Rice dream-Enriched chocolate

Rice dream-Enriched original

Rice dream-Enriched vanilla
-This is really good to use in smoothies or drink plain by the glass because it's sweet and has a mild taste.  I find it a little too sweet for cereal, and it's not thick enough for coffee. (icephrosty)
Rice dream-Heartwise original

Rice dream-Heartwise vanilla

Rice dream-Horchata
-Reeeeeeally sweet with a yummy hint of cinnamon. It's thin but I guess it's supposed to be like that because it's rice milk? I like it, but at 160 calories per 8 oz, I don't think I'll get it again. (ponycakes)
Rice dream-Nog
-I normally dislike rice milk, but I was able to drink this one. Extra thick, extra sweet. I'd still choose a soy nog over this if available, though. (fb)
Rice dream-Original
-kind of runny, and the taste was mediocre.  Good for blending with soymilk though to get more than one kind of milk. (veganfilmjunkie)
Rice dream-Supreme chocolate chai
-it tastes divine, even though the combination sounds weird. Maybe a bit too sweet, but that's what I was in the mood for. (aziz)

[ponycakes!]

Follow your heart (vegan gourmet)-Cheddar: smells really gross, but not that bad in a mac and cheese stuff.

Follow your heart (vegan gourmet)-Mozzarella: amazing. if i make a pizza, this is on it. mm. also tasty on pasta casserole dishes.

Tofutti cream cheese-Plain: mmm. if you thin it with some soymilk, add onion, horseradish and veg Worcestershire , it makes a tasty chip dip. i love this stuff.

Tofutti-Plain : meh. i can make my own for cheaper..

i had some rice cheese slices before because i saw an ad in a veg magazine and it showed them all melty on a grilled cheese..they were kinda crappy though haha.

yayyy ac is the best!!! i love all of these "official reviews"

[carrot_wench]

Tofutti cream cheese- Plain: from my not-too-distant memories of cream cheese, this stuff is pretty much spot-on! the taste and texture are both great, and it works SO well for spreads and "cheesecake."

Nasoya Nayonase- Fat Free:: errmmm, well, this actually resembles real mayo (as opposed to Miracle whip) at first glance, but the taste is kinda funny. It's not great by itself on a sandwich, but it makes a darn good base for salad dressing. I used it for chickpea salad dressing, and it was great. Though, you may get something similar with homemade soymilk/tofu-based recipes, and at a lower cost.

FYH Vegenaise: To me, this stuff tastes and looks more like the Miracle Whip style mayo. It's got a taste and texture that all of my homemade attempts haven't even come close to matching. It's worth keeping a jar of this in your fridge regularly...but beware, it's pretty addicting!


ETA: no prob, AC! I'm sure I'll be around this thread quite a bit, heh.

"Milk"
Ryza-Original

Ryza-Vanilla
-I decided to try this for something different, and the appearance was immediately off-putting (I forgot our first rice milk experience...). It's so thin! Plus, it just looks weird...thin, and like transparent, but yellowish. The flavor isn't THAT bad..but I think that's just because I got the vanilla. I won't get it again. (AC)
Silk creamer-French vanilla

Silk creamer-Hazelnut
-Very good, adds a nice flavor to my coffee. (purpledancer)
Silk creamer-Original
-This stuff is OK. I don’t find the flavor or thickness to be much different from regular soy milk. (purpledancer)
-I tried this once, but decided, if I want something in my tea/coffee beverage, I'll just use soymilk. (Laura)
-whoah - tastes like creamer! I bought it for use in recipes that called for it, but otherwise I agree, I'd rather use soymilk in hot beverages or otherwise get a flavored variety. (fb)
-for my coffee....to me its the nearest thing to half and half I can find. (potatohead)
Silk-Light chocolate
-Couldn't really tell a difference between this and regular Silk chocolate. Pretty good. (AC)
-I very very rarely get the chocolate kind and when I do I get light - I can't taste a difference but they are both really sweet and I don't like consuming it more than a few times a year. (veganfilmjunkie)
Silk-Light plain
-I bought this because it was the only one on sale...and something about it grosses me out. It tastes fine, but it's really thin, and the color looks weird. (AC)
-My mother really likes the light kind and I can't taste a difference between that and the regular. (veganfilmjunkie)
Silk-Light vanilla
-this is good, but i prefer 8th continent SOO much more. the vanilla taste is sort of "eh", tastes like a watery regular silk vanilla. (jeffykite)
Silk-Plus fiber

Silk-Plus for bone health
-i drink this daily because it has extra calicum (40%) and i think it tastes just a little bit better than regular vanilla silk. (brooke)
Silk-Plus omega-3 DHA
-This seemed kinda weird. (AC)
-use it when I am making a frozen dessert or a gravy or something that will benefit from the extra fat. (veganfilmjunkie)
Silk-Chai
-MY FAVORITE! The best "chai" flavored anything. I swear this is because cardamom, not cinnamon, is high up on the ingredients list. Unfortunately it seems to be more expensive than the other quarts =( (fb)
-YUMMY! I dilute them with soy milk if we are just going to drink them because they are pretty sweet...but use them straight in baking. (THHF)
Silk-Chocolate
-This is good, but not really worth buying a whole different soy milk. Tasted like good chocolate milk.  (AC)
-I think this tastes good.  Make sure you shake well.  I don’t buy it very often, cause I don’t really drink glasses of soy milk.  It’s nice for making chocolate soy shakes though. (purpledancer)
-The chocolate flavor is excellent =) (fb)
Silk-Coffee
-The coffee flavor is pretty good, but could be stronger.  (fb)
Silk-Mocha
-This doesn't taste much different than the coffee flavor... I expected more chocolatey-ness to it, but I can barely taste it. Meh. (fb)
Silk-Nog
-Great for fall/winter baking.  Adds a little 'something extra' to pumpkin pies.  I think it is way to sweet to drink plain. (mdv)
-Great, but too thick and sweet to drink a whole cup at once. I guess that's why the serving size is 1/2 cup! (fb)
-I just miss the stuff.  I loved it around the holidays for my lattes.  The espresso just cuts the overly sweet and thickness, and made it perfect. (tulipchick)
-YUMMY! I dilute them with soy milk if we are just going to drink them because they are pretty sweet...but use them straight in baking. (THHF)
Silk-Plain
-Silk is fine, but it doesn't measure up to the smooth goodness of So nice! (AC)
-This to me is kind of standard soymilk - not supersweet, has a kind of "beany" flavor that I don't mind. I use it in baking and maybe for cereal, but not just drinking by itself. (fb)
-This brings back bad memories, so I don't buy it. It was the only soymilk available in the cafeteria at school (during my first year of university). It's not bad, but I just can't drink it. (Laura)
-I use plain for cereal and desserts and things - it is plenty sweet. (veganfilmjunkie)
Silk-Pumpkin spice
-mmm, very sweet and full of spice. the pumpkin is lacking, but i still love it! (Brooke)
-I can definitely taste the spices, but the pumpkin flavor isn't very strong.  It's also super sweet, almost too much for me!  Still, it's pretty good and a nice treat...I might try cutting it with regular soymilk! (icephrosty)
Silk-Spice
-I thought this would have more of a pumpkin element to it... instead it's supersweet with a tiny bit of cinnamon. Not worth it to me. (fb)
Silk-Unsweetened
-I always have a bottle of this handy for all my cooking & baking needs.  Good on cereal. (purpledancer)
-This is my favorite for baking, but I can't drink it straight from a glass. (icephrosty)
-I love that they sell an unsweetened milk so I can cook with it (veganfilmjunkie)
Silk-Vanilla
-Its a classic! not overly sweet, but sweet enough to enjoy in cereal or with cookies. (brooke)
-I always used to buy this.  I think it tastes good.  Now, I buy the Unsweetened soy milk because it has more uses. (purpledancer)
-Standard stuff... not too sweet, but it's too sweet to put in savory recipes. (fb)
-I'm a fan. (malevolence)
Silk-Very vanilla
-Too sweet! (AC)
-I love this stuff! Perfect for eating with chocolate chip cookies. Extra vanilla and extra sugar (fb)
-i loved it, very sweet and full of vanilla flavor. today i packed the juicebox size (8.25 oz) for my snack in class and it was the perfect portable drink to go alone with my s'mores zbar (which are delicious). i will continue to buy the 3-pack 8.25 oz very vanilla because its more enjoyable to drink but i will stick to the refridgerated plain vanilla. (brooke)
-I think people who buy the vanilla kind must have a sweet tooth, so I don't understand the Very Vanilla and would only buy it if you have a kid who is transitioning to a vegan diet from a diet of Lunchables and soda.  (veganfilmjunkie)
So delicious coconut milk beverage-Original

So delicious coconut milk beverage-Unsweetened
-totally neutral taste, i couldnt taste any coconut at all which was good for me since im not a fan of coconut.  it only has 50 calories a cup, but 5 gms of fat and only 1 gm of protein.  i didnt it notice it thicken very well when i added apple cider vinegar to it to make 'buttermilk' even though i added a bit extra acv, although the recipe turned out fine anyway.  it is also the purest white ive ever seen in a non-dairy milk, so maybe if you're trying to switch your family from dairy milk this would be visually pleasing to them.  it also isnt as thin as unsweetened soymilks i've used. (propinecone)
-It's okay.  It didn't taste like much.  That could be good if I was using it in a recipe.  For general drinking and adding to beverages, I like Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla more.  It has a subtle taste/flavor, too, but it's more readily apparent.  If I'm going to be drinking calories, I want to taste them.  At some point I would like to try the flavored varieties.  If the unsweetened doesn't taste like anything, then the flavored kind probably won't taste "vegan" at all and could be a good choice for when omnis and vegans eat together. (hh)
So delicious coconut milk beverage-Vanilla
-"just ok".  I thought it was too watery and the coconut flavor was kinda weird with the vanilla -- it was overpowering instead of complimentary.  Overall, I was disappointed and it's not worth the $4.59 I have to pay at Whole Foods.  It might be interesting to use for making ice cream but I won't be drinking it plain! (icephrosty)
So delicious coconut milk creamer-French vanilla
-It is awesome! I don't drink coffee much or use creamer in coffee when I do drink it, but I have been using it to make Thai Tea and Chai Teas, and wow! In Thai Restaurants they use evaporated milk which is thick and sweet. This pretty much tastes the same as I remember it being in restaurants. So good! It was sort of expensive (2.50 ish) but I really like it! (L2A)
-love it! so good in chai.  (veganheart)

-So Good we have in Canada is also kind of gross. I used to buy it all the time, before I discovered better ones. The beany taste you described is also a problem in ours...especially if you heat it up. And it is really sweet! :/ On cereal it's ok since the cereal is kind of the main flavour, but for drinking on its own or heating for hot chocolate or oatmeal, it's a no go. unfortunately. (tino)

So nice-Natural

So nice-Nog
-(See Vitasoy nog comments) Hard to say which one is better, vitasoy or so nice... I think I might like So Nice more. (Laura)
So nice-Original
-This is our favorite soy milk. (AC)
-THE BEST EVAH! Of all dairy alternatives, any kind, this is the ultimate. It's my staple "vegan" purchase - I gotta have my soymilk every week. Creamy, not too sweet but not plain and chalky. Wonderful. (Laura)
So nice-Original delight

So nice-Plus original

So nice-Plus vanilla

So nice-Unsweetened

So nice-Vanilla bliss

So nice-Vanilla chai
-good, but... a little disappointing. Not enough chai kick, not spicy enough. Reminds me of soy nog and Christmas, actually. It's tasty, and I think best heated, but I'll look for an alternative to get my chai fix. (Laura)
So nice-Vanilla
-I don't mind it, but P's not a fan of vanilla soymilk. I thought it was pretty good with granola; just a bit sweeter than original. (AC)

Soyamagic-Light

Soyamagic-Original
-ain't no magic happening here!  Disgusting, waaaaaay too much vanilla; vile even with cornflakes! (kikilola)
Trader Joe's-Chocolate
-best stuff on earth! i drank this when i was omni, and my brothers drink it too. it is soooo creamy and tasty and there isnt a lot of that yucky soy aftertaste. mmm (ponycakes)
-I didn't like this at all.  I bought a few containers because it was cheap and I've been trying to get rid of them ever since!  It just didn't taste right to me, and I couldn't even finish one whole glass. (icephrosty)
Trader Joe's-Original
-This is my standard plain soymilk for drinking, baking, whatever.  I sometimes try other brands, but I've always come back to TJ's for soymilk. (willwolf)
Vitasoy-All natural light plus chocolate

Vitasoy-All natural light plus plain

Vitasoy-All natural light plus vanilla
-This is my new favorite!  The vanilla flavor is so clean and it has a subtle sweetness.  The plus version also has some fiber and more vitamins/minerals. (icephrosty)
Vitasoy-Chocolate
-Also rivals Silk chocolate... a treat! (fb)
Vitasoy-Chocolate banana
-I looove this one. It's every thing I love about chocolate and bananas together. Of course, it's not something I'd use in coffee or regular baking, but it's great to drink on its own. (fb)
-tasted ok not the best. Made some crap cereal I had at least edible. (uzbekjoe)
Vitasoy-Coconut soy drink
-whew! it has a huge coconut flavor! I like that it's got really coconut milk in it and not just some sort of artificial flavoring. (fb)
Vitasoy-Holiday nog
-I bought this on sale once and was worried it'd be gross. But nope.  I don't know what regular egg nog tastes like (and I don't plan to find out), but this is a good holiday flavour. (Laura)
-I love this one too (Silk nog).  I don't know which one I like better because I haven't had either in a long time...calls for some research I guess. (THHF)
-very good, i was waiting a while for it to be sold at my local stop and shop, and when it finally came i was excited.
its very thick, which i like =] (jeffykite)
-I love this stuff. Insanely sweet, thick, but I can't really say if this is better or Silk is better. I just buy whatever's available. (fb)
Vitasoy-Light chocolate
-It's not noticeably more watery than the regular chocolate, it just has slightly less of the chocolatey flavor. Still good stuff! (fb)
-Yum! Smooth and sweet. A nice chocolate treat. (Laura)
Vitasoy-Light original
-This is a little funny tasty, but not in a bad way. It's not my go-to soymilk, but I've bought it when on sale and it's nice to have around when I run out of So Nice and don't have time to take the bus to the grocery store. (Laura)
Vitasoy-Light vanilla
-I didn't even notice the "lighter"ness of it when using it in cereal. (fb)
-I like this one too. Again, not my favourite, but it's smooth enough and a little sweet. Good on cereal. (Laura)
Vitasoy-Malt soy drink
-This isn't soy milk strictly speaking, but soy "drink." It's not super malty - I'd be able to stand it if I hated malt. I wish it were offered as an actual soymilk, because it's a bit too watery for my taste. (fb)
Vitasoy-Original
-Definitely rivals Silk plain. I think I could actually just drink this on its own... a rarity. (fb)
-It tastes like semen. (Saskia)
Vitasoy-Peppermint chocolate
-This is my favorite flavored soymilk.  It's so nice during the winter and holiday season, and it makes wonderful hot chocolate.  If you love the mint/chocolate combo, you need to run out and find some ASAP. (willwolf)
-MY FAVOURITE FLAVOURED SOYMILK! It's sooooo divine. Wonderful hot and cold. (Laura)
-I'm sorry, I had some yesterday (I saved a carton from Christmas and this thread reminded me of it, so I opened it up). I just LOVE IT SO MUCH! (Laura)
- amazingly good!!! (lubi)
-I agree (with lubi)!  I drank a lot of this over Christmas.  So good. (Jane M)
Vitasoy-Strawberry banana
-Pretty good. Honestly, I was looking for more of an artificial strawberry soymilk, but this stuff is real strawberry. I didn't feel unhealthy drinking it... how unfortunate. (fb)
Vitasoy-Unsweetened
VitaSoy Lite Vanilla Plus - This is my new favorite!  The vanilla flavor is so clean and it has a subtle sweetness.  The plus version also has some fiber and more vitamins/minerals.

Vitasoy-Vanilla
-Good; seems to have more sugar than the original. (fb)
Wegmans-Rice milk
-My son loves it. (malevolence)
Westsoy-Lite plain

Westsoy-Lite vanilla

Westsoy-Low fat plain
-Mostly for baking and smoothie-ing.  It tastes just OK.  It's fine for those two purposes.  I would sometimes drink it warmed up with vanilla.  It's thin, but that's how I prefer my soymilk. (KMK)
-This milk, so far, comes closest to the milk I remember from my pre-vegan days. It's not thick. It doesn't have an overpowering soy taste. It tastes great with my cereal, and serves my baking needs well. One omni, who dislikes SilkSoy's stronger soy taste, said he couldn't tell the difference from cow milk when he had WestSoy with his Cheerios. (Saskia)
Westsoy-Low fat vanilla

Westsoy-Non fat plain
-Mostly for baking and smoothie-ing.  It tastes just OK.  It's fine for those two purposes.  I would sometimes drink it warmed up with vanilla.  It's thin, but that's how I prefer my soymilk. (KMK)
Westsoy-Non fat vanilla
-My usual soymilk. Really thin, not too sweet. I'm a fan, but that's probably because I get freaked out by thicker soymilks like Silk. (ponycakes)
Westsoy-Organic original

Westsoy-Organic unsweetened]
-is my absolute favorite. It is the only soymilk I will buy. It only contains two ingredients, water and soybeans and so it tastes really clean. I am not big on how sweet most soymilks are. Some people might find this one to be too plain, but that's what I like about it. (stillflat)
-I like this for savory dishes. (THHF)

Westsoy-Soyslender cappuccino
-this stuff is AWESOME. my favorite soy milk so far =] i heated it up and it really does taste like coffee, really good coffee. (jeffykite)
Westsoy-Soyslender chocolate
-this was on sale so that is the reason i bought it. but i thought it was actually pretty good. it is definitely thinner (im assuming because it is soy slender) than regular chocolate soy milk but the chocolate taste was not artificial like i expected it to be. i love it warmed up in a mug - easy and inexspensive hot chocolate! (Brooke)
Westsoy-Soyslender plain

Westsoy-Soyslender vanilla

Westsoy-Unsweetened almond

Westsoy-Unsweetened chocolate

Westsoy-Unsweetened vanilla
-I never buy vanilla flavored soymilk because I like to have the option of cooking savory dishes. My parents picked up a carton of this stuff though and it was not bad. I know it says unsweetened, but I still expected it to be somewhat sweet. It's not. It tastes just like the Westsoy Organic Unsweetened that I usually get, but with a hint of vanilla flavor. It was really very mild. I liked it. (stillflat)

"Sour cream"
Follow your heart vegan gourmet-Plain
-superb. It actually sorta tasted like sour cream and it had a lovely creamy consistency that stood the test of time in my fridge. I will definitely make the extra trip to the other grocery store across town for this next time. (wassernixe)
-I thought it was gross and bland.  Shawn thought it was okay as long as it was mixed/blended with stuff.  We both prefer tofutti. (mdv)
-I am a little upset I bought this instead of Tofutti, It's edible, but still not very good, esp on its own. But who eats sour cream on its own ??
It has a chalky aftertaste that I frown upon. I believe this is a NEW product, as there is a sticker on the tub that says:"new product!" . I do not recommend. (animalg)
Tofutti-Guacamole

Tofutti-Non-hydrogenated
-DH is addicted to this stuff.  I like it on burritos. (mdv)
-Meh, nothing too special, but I don't use much sour cream anyway. It tastes exactly like the Tofutti cream cheese. I dislike how it separates/weeps a little after a couple days. It is good mixed with Soyogurt for raita though. (Sharway)
-I like this one better than the plain; it has a thinner consistency (more like sour cream) (fb)
-We both really liked this. I'm used to occasionally making my own, and wasn't expecting much from this, but I think I might like it better? It doesn't really have much flavor, but I still like it. I think it has great texture, too. (AC)
-This wasn't half bad.  I had it on tacos.  It did the trick.  The flavor is decent and so is the consistency.  It was my first experience with vegan cream cheese and I was pretty pleased. (KMK)
-this is a good sub. I like it with mex dishes, mixed with enchilada sauce to make a "cream sauce", and also as a yogurt replacement in Indian style dishes, to provide a cool element. Still, like Ponycakes said it is cheaper and easy to makeyour own with silken tofu,vinegar,oil,lemon juice and s&P. But for convenience I like this one. (animalg)
Tofutti-Plain
-meh. i can make my own for cheaper..(ponycakes)
-I’ve tried this stuff on numerous occasions over the years & I’ve disliked it each time.  Has a strong beany flavor that doesn’t lessen even when mixed in a stroganoff with lots of other flavors.  I really want to like it, but I think it is gross. (purpledancer)
-Love it! (crsymes)
-Too thick for sour cream... I always have to dilute it or it's too pasty. (fb)
-I tried this for a dip recipe. I don't like Tofutti anyways because their products tend to be fattier than they need to be. I opened the container and it was all separated and clumpy. And if I hadn't mixed it in with other things the taste would have been unbearable. Ugh. (wassernixe)
Wayfare foods-We can't say it's sour cream original

Alpro soya-Fruit flavors
-They are very very good-tasting. In fact, no word in any language can possibly describe how good-tasting they are. So I must make one up. A word like sexyfine. But even this potent word cannot truly describe how good-tasting they are.(narcissus)
Alpro Soya Yogurt-Plain
-Ditto, with the addition of it actually tasting like plain yogurt. It's. Not. Sweet. It's sour, and yogurty, and creamy, and delicious, and SO. GOOD.(narcissus)
Ricera (organic)-Blueberry

Ricera (organic)-Peach

Ricera (organic)-Strawberry

Ricera (organic)-Vanilla

Silk-Banana strawberry

Silk-Black cherry

Silk-Blueberry
-Good texture. Flavor is sort of weird. (blueberry)
-Has a real blueberry flavor, but has a sort of starchy aftertaste (there's rice starch in it; maybe that's why?) (fb)
Silk-Key lime
-i had hope, but it was awful. very runny and tart! i had to throw it away. (brooke)
-This was pretty strange, and not good. It was runny...and just didn't have a good taste. P REALLY HATED it. I finished it though. (AC)
-I thought this had a pretty mild lime flavor. I don't prefer the Silk brand for soy yogurts in general, but this one was pretty good. It was kind of a runny texture for yogurt, but it wasn't disturbing or anything. (fb)
Silk-Peach
-Good texture.  Nice flavor.  (purpledancer)
-I like this. This is good. Good little peach pieces. (AC)
Silk-Plain
-Too sweet for raita or savory things, but not bad. The texture is a little jiggly, but it's not bad for a parfait or something with fruit. (Sharway)
-Too tart for me =p better for recipes than eating.  (fb)
Silk-Raspberry
-Good, but also has the starchy aftertaste. (fb)
-I liked this! It was still pretty runny, but the flavor was good-raspberry and yogurty. Probably could use more raspberry. (AC)
Silk-Strawberry
-I used to buy this a lot, but I hadn’t purchased in a long time until recently.  I think the flavor has greatly improved.  It’s very good. (purpledancer)
Silk-Vanilla
-Decent... not crazy about it, but I'd eat it if it were around.  (fb)
-this is the first silk flavor that i've liked. it still has a tang but i think this is how yogurt is supposed to taste? i can't eat it plain so i always add different mix-ins. it works well. (Brooke)
So delicious-Blueberry
-this was alright.  It tastes ok, but not really like yogurt...it's a little too creamy and not really any yogurt-y bite.  There's a specific thing that it reminded me of, but I can't put my finger on it.  I'd eat it if someone gave it to me, but I prefer Silk. (Schmiggle)
-I like this. I'm not crazy about it, but it's a good, tasty soy yogurt and I'd buy it again. (fb)
So delicious-Cherry vanilla
-Pretty good! I did not have high hopes for this (I'm not a huge fan of most cherry flavors), but it was pretty well balanced - the cherry flavor wasn't over the top and the vanilla was still noticeable. (fb)
So delicious-Cinnamon bun
-Their best flavor! Like cinnamon and cream cheese! I like having a flavored soy yogurt that isn't fruit flavored. (fb)
-I heart this flavor, it is sooo good!  It's pretty sweet, but I like it that way. (icephrosty)
So delicious-Key lime
-Their best flavour. Not runny at all, and sweet but not too sweet, tart but not too tart. Tastes just how I remember key lime to be. The only downside is it's a bit lumpy, but they add bursts of flavour. (lolkrys)
-Its... limey (fb)
-I like this one a lot too, it's my second fav.  It's tangy and sweet and kinda has a more firm texture. (icephrosty)
So delicious-Peach
-pretty good, but I dislike bits of fruit in yogurt. I can deal, though, because the yogurt part is tasty. (fb)
So delicious-Raspberry
-This is probably my least favorite. It's fine, just doesn't stand out as a flavor. (fb)
So delicious-Vanilla
-This is some really thick stuff. It's not identical to dairy yogurt for sure, but it's delicious in its own right. (fb)
So delicious made with coconut milk-Blueberry
-I was hoping for some powerful blueberry flavor, but the coconut flavor seems to drown it out. I think I would have liked it better if that's what I was expecting. (fb)
So delicious agave sweetened-Vanilla
-really good - not nearly as sweet as the regular vanilla. (icephrosty)
So delicious made with coconut milk-Chocolate
-really disappointing (icephrosty)
So delicious made with coconut milk-Passionate mango
-Pretty good! I'm not even a big fan of mango, but this was an enjoyable treat, and the coconut flavor wasn't too strong. (fb)
-I like this.  It doesn't really taste coconutty, and it's not sweet.  It's more tangy.  The mango flavor is nice.  I had it over a fruit salad and it was very nice. (KMK)
So delicious made with coconut milk-Plain

So delicious made with coconut milk-Pina colada
-Pretty good!  It's kind of a stereotypical pina colada flavoring, but I like it fine.  I would have expected the ACTUAL coconut flavor to come through in these yogurts, but it doesn't, really!  They taste like typical yogurt.  I'm not sure if I could tell they were made from coconut milk if no one told me.  Which is bad for me because I love coconut. (KMK)
So delicious made with coconut milk-Raspberry(
- I thought this was very good, it was my first non dairy yogurt, so i have nothing to compare it to, but it was splendid! Coconuts and raspberries, yum! (undersarah)
So delicious made with coconut milk-Strawberry
-more like a dessert than a flavored yogurt.  I could have eaten a gallon of it.  And if it were cheaper, I'd gladly eat this instead of ice cream or whatever other dessert. (veganfilmjunkie)

-The BEST! This stuff would sell out all the time when I worked at TJs. Has an intense peachy flavor. (fb)
Trader joe's-Raspberry
-eh.  I don't really like any of Trader Joe's yogurt.  They all taste way too much like cornstarch for my liking. (Schmiggle)
-Not great. There's no bad taste or anything - it just lacks that "OMG FRESH RASPBERRIES"/late summer appeal. I'd totally eat it for an upset stomach though. (fb)
Trader joe's-Strawberry
-Very mild tasting, very neutral. I used some of it in a chocolate waffle recipe and couldn't detect any strawberry in the end at all. (fb)
Whole soy-Apricot mango

Whole soy-Blueberry
-This is my favorite flavor. in my opinion, whole soy makes the best soy yogurt. (brooke)
-Pretty good, but I actually like the Silk blueberry better (fb)
-Ok tasting..it has a bit of a weird flavor at the end. Pretty good, though. (AC)
Whole soy-Cherry
-sweet and tart... but have to be in the mood for cherry. (fb)
Whole soy-Lemon
-Best yogurt I’ve ever had.  Tastes like dessert! (purpledancer)
-Sweet and lemony. One of the best! (fb)
-This was good. (my first vegan yogurt) I was never a huge fan of yogurt anyway..but this tasted good. I was expecting more for some reason. (AC)
Whole soy-Mixed berry
-Very fruity tasting; my favorite one. (fb)
Whole soy-Peach
-very creamy and full of peach chunks. i also tried freezing it once and it was delicious! (brooke)
-good, but i'm not a fan of chunks of fruit in yogurt. (fb)
-DELICIOUS!  Much better than Silk!  It's thick and creamy and has a great flavor! (closeyoureyestosee)
Whole soy-Plain

Whole soy-Raspberry
-This was pretty disappointing. Well, very. There wasn't much flavor at all, and very few little, raspberry seed pieces. There was also a weird flavor that did not belong in yogurt. I dunno what it was, but not fruit, and not yogurt-like. Most definitely not worth .80! : \ (AC)
Whole soy-Strawberry

Whole soy-Strawberry banana
-I think this is the most mild tasting one (because of the banana?). closer to pudding. (fb)
-my favorite brand of soy yogurt and I am pissed off that they stopped carrying it at Giant.  I like every flavor I've ever tried, especially strawberry-banana. (veganfilmjunkie)
Whole soy-Vanilla
-This, to me, is the closest to dairy yogurt I've had. The texture, the taste - spot on. I'm more likely to get the So Delicious as a treat though. (fb)
-At first I wasn't sure about this, because I had it with some maple/pecan granola, and it tasted a bit strange, but I've tasted it alone, and it's good! I also had it again with the granola, and enjoyed it. I think the texture/color is a little different, but it doesn't really matter, and the texture wasn't off-putting or anything. A bit runnier, maybe? I'm not sure..I never ate much yogurt. I think it's good, though.(AC)
-Good lord this is good yogurt. (closeyoureyestosee)

Follow your heart-Vegenaise high omega 3
-I love this so much.  I have never tried vegenaise before (though I have probably eaten it in prepared dishes), and I don't know a thing about non-vegan mayo, but I think this is awesome.  I could eat it by the spoon.  I make rice cakes with hummus and veganaise and it's wonderful. It has a very slight flax-y flavor that I don't mind at all. (KMK)

-The best. Creamy and full o fat. =D (fb)
-ROCKS! I love it much more than regular mayo now! There is no comparison. (malevolence)
-I love Vegenaise!  I think I have a true addiction to this stuff.  It tastes just like I remember mayonnaise tasting. (This is for mayonnaise lovers, not Miracle Whip lovers.) (willwolf)
-delicious (THHF)
-wonderful - I normally use organic or expeller-pressed but I've tried the grapeseed kind too and couldn't taste a difference. My old roommate said it tasted more like Miracle Whip than mayonnaise but I think the only people who will be able to make a distinction are the ones who actually put mayonnaise on everything, but if you are like me and only use it in "tuna" or potato salad, you will probably not even realize it's not the real thing.

Kozy shack-Soy pudding chocolate
-i just found this at Super Target today and i though it was interesting. its very, very thick and not overly sweet. i still enjoyed it (i topped it with annies chocolate graham bunnies for the inner child in me) but my next pudding purchase is zen soy pudding! i do appreciate the availability at target and other grocery stores, of all places. (brooke)
-Also very thick and smooth. It seems slightly less sweet than the vanilla, but not so much that the cocoa is bitter. Seems to have a lot of cocoa.  At first I wished it was sweeter, but I've adapted to it - not sugary like ZenSoy! (fb)
Kozy shack-Soy pudding vanilla
-very thick and smooth. Not too sweet; kind of like if you thickened regular vanilla soymilk with a wee bit of extra sugar. Good vanilla flavor. At first I wished it was sweeter, but I've adapted to it - not sugary like ZenSoy! (fb)

-Mmmmm. This is close to the pudding I had as a child. At first, I thought it was going to be weird..but it's not. It comes together really well. You just use a Mori-nu silken firm tofu, and blend, and add the mix. It's tasty, with perfect pudding texture. No weird flavor. (AC)

Nasoya-Nayonaise
-I don't really mind this (it was the first vegan mayo I had), but it doesn't measure up to veganaise. (AC)
-It's ok. It's more sour than vegenaise... not a huge fan. (fb)
-I agree with ac's review of this (THHF)
-one of the nastiest things I have ever put in my mouth and left an awful aftertaste that took more than just a drink to get rid of.  It was expensive, and normally I ALWAYS ALWAYS try to think of a way to use up something I paid for, even if I have to hide it one tablespoon at a time in several smoothies - but I threw the entire brand-new jar away.  This is a huge deal for me, especially in my current financial situation. (veganfilmjunkie)
Nasoya-Nayonaise fat free
-errmmm, well, this actually resembles real mayo (as opposed to Miracle whip) at first glance, but the taste is kinda funny. It's not great by itself on a sandwich, but it makes a darn good base for salad dressing. I used it for chickpea salad dressing, and it was great. (CW)
Nasoya-Silken creations chocolate
-Ohmygosh so good! The packaging is weird like cakes said, but its yummy! Its like pudding straight out of the package. Freeze this!!! Its just like fudgesicles. Either in little popsicle molds or just freeze the whole thing! (sarah)
Nasoya-Silken creations strawberry
-Pretty good in a smoothie. I was expecting a firmer texture, like silken tofu, but this was more like yogurt. The package was annoying because it was so liquidy. Strawberry flavor was a little fake-y and the sweet was a teeny bit too much, but with some fruit in a smoothie, it all balanced out. I'd buy it again if it's on sale..maybe. (ponycakes)

-This isn't very good at all, the original is a lot better.  I kept the receipt and I'm going to return it!   (icephrosty)
Soyatoo!-Spray cream
-It was light, creamy, sweet and fluffy white. Looked and tasted just like the whipped cream I remember.  No weird soy aftertaste. Actually, the taste reminded me of that Buttered Popcorn Jelly Belly jellybean flavor, if that makes any sense.  And I loved those jellybeans, even though I thought they didn't taste like Buttered Popcorn. I enjoyed Soy Whip on my Fluffy Coconut Waffles(recipe on this website) with sliced bananas, strawberries, maple syrup and walnut bits. This whipped cream would also be great on hot chocolate, pies, cakes and cappuccinos. (Saskia)

Trader Joe's-Reduced fat mayo
- it has a bit of ''tang'' but i like it. i use it on sandwiches, wraps, and inchickpea salad. its also very inexspensive. (brooke)
-It suffices; it's nice that it's lower in fat, but that also means it's way less creamy than vegenaise. Nice to have a less-indulgent, cheaper option out there. (fb)

[ponycakes!]

oops. sorry haha. i meant the sour cream.

[c0c0c0]

The Archer Farms (Target) soy milk and chocolate soy milk are really good.  I like them better than rice dream's comparable products, and they are cheaper too.

Tofuti's cheese slicess are really good, and they melt nice too (at least the first time).  The mozzerella is a bit blander than I like it but I am  used to using provolone instead of mozzerella.  If it had a bit more of a bite or a hint of a smoky flavor then it would be perfection. 

The tofuti cream cheese is really good, I usually put it on bagels.  It has no after taste and is smooth and creamy.

follow your heart now has a sour cream and cream cheese version.  i havent tried em but you could add them to the list.

you are amazing AC! 


Tofutti Better than Cream Cheese-Plain it does taste like cream cheese! but if you have the option, go for the non-hydrogenated for an even more authentic taste.
Tofutti Better than Cream Cheese-Plain non-hydrogenated so amazing. i prefer this kind over the original plain. it actually tastes like real cream cheese. i love it on toasted bagels or english muffins, crackers, grilled sandwiches, etc. its so versatile.
Tofutti American cheese slices these are fabulous. they make a perfect, comforting grilled cheese sandwich. i love these x's 1000!
Galaxy Nutritional Foods Vegan slices they smell awful but are decent for vegan cheese. though they dont compare to tofutti.

Almond Breeze- vanilla creamy, sweet, and goes well in dry breakfast cereal.
Almond Breeze- chocolate yum, i always make sure to have a little carton in the fridge/pantry. very creamy and it has a great chocolate flavor.
Silk-Vanilla its a classic! not overly sweet, but sweet enough to enjoy in cereal or with cookies.
Silk-for Bone Health i drink this daily because it has extra calicum (40%) and i think it tastes just a little bit better than regular vanilla silk.

Whole Soy Yogurt- blueberry this is my favorite flavor. in my opinion, whole soy makes the best soy yogurt.
Whole Soy Yogurt- peach very creamy and full of peach chunks. i also tried freezing it once and it was delicious!
Silk Yogurt- key lime i had hope, but it was awful. very runny and tart! i had to throw it away.

Trader Joe's- Reduced Fat Mayo it has a bit of ''tang'' but i like it. i use it on sandwiches, wraps, and inchickpea salad. its also very inexspensive.

Kozy Soy Pudding- chocolate i just found this at Super Target today and i though it was interesting. its very, very thick and not overly sweet. i still enjoyed it (i topped it with annies chocolate graham bunnies for the inner child in me) but my next pudding purchase is zen soy pudding! i do appreciate the availability at target and other grocery stores, of all places.

Follow your heart (vegan gourmet)-Nacho - I like this flavor the best.

Sheese-Blue - Good blue cheese flavor, but smells like play-doh

Sunergia Soy Feta - I think all of the flavors are okay.  I use it to make a Greek dish with tomatoes, chickpeas, kalamata olives, and lots of garlic.  I think the texture is a little off - sort of like thawed and frozen tofu?

Almond breeze-Vanilla (UNSWEETENED) - I love this stuff!  It's a shame it's so expensive.

Silk-Nog - Great for fall/winter baking.  Adds a little 'something extra' to pumpkin pies.  I think it is way to sweet to drink plain.

Tofutti-Non-hydrogenated Sour Cream - DH is addicted to this stuff.  I like it on burritos.

Tofutti Sour Cream -Plain – I’ve tried this stuff on numerous occasions over the years & I’ve disliked it each time.  Has a strong beany flavor that doesn’t lessen even when mixed in a stroganoff with lots of other flavors.  I really want to like it, but I think it is gross.

Tofutti Cream Cheese -Plain – This is another one of those things that I really want to like.  I’ve tried it on a bagel & I really dislike the flavor.  Some day I would like to try making a cheesecake or icing out of it to see if I like it that way.

Follow your heart-Vegenaise (veganaise) – I don’t know if I’ve tried any other “mayonnaise”.  But this stuff is awesome, so I’m sticking with it. 

Silk creamer-Hazelnut – Very good, adds a nice flavor to my coffee.

Silk creamer-Original – This stuff is OK. I don’t find the flavor or thickness to be much different from regular soy milk.

Milk

Almond breeze-Vanilla – I use this on my cereal – very tasty.  Good for baking.

Silk-Unsweetened – I always have a bottle of this handy for all my cooking & baking needs.  Good on cereal.

Silk-Chocolate – I think this tastes good.  Make sure you shake well.  I don’t buy it very often, cause I don’t really drink glasses of soy milk.  It’s nice for making chocolate soy shakes though.

Silk-Vanilla – I always used to buy this.  I think it tastes good.  Now, I buy the Unsweetened soy milk because it has more uses.

Yogurt

Silk-Peach – Good texture.  Nice flavor. 

Silk-Strawberry – I used to buy this a lot, but I hadn’t purchased in a long time until recently.  I think the flavor has greatly improved.  It’s very good.

Silk-Blueberry  - Good texture. Flavor is sort of weird.

Whole Soy – Lemon – Best yogurt I’ve ever had.  Tastes like dessert!

Tofutti cream cheese-Herbs and chives
It's nothing terribly special but it's good on a bagel. Not too herby or chivey tasting, to be honest. But it does have hydrogenated oils I'd rather buy the unhydrogenated kind and chop in my own chives.

Tofutti cream cheese- plain
A good basic... and this from a former cream-cheese-addict! Not too beany or strange tasting, IMO

Tofutti-Non-hydrogenated sour cream
Meh, nothing too special, but I don't use much sour cream anyway. It tastes exactly like the Tofutti cream cheese. I dislike how it separates/weeps a little after a couple days. It is good mixed with Soyogurt for raita though.

Spectrum vegan egg-less mayonnaise
Good texture and flavor! I don't use mayo on sandwiches, but it's good for chickpea salad and whatnot, and I've made a nice aioli by mixing in other ingredients like roasted garlic.

Follow your heart cream cheese
This tastes exactly like Tofutti to me, but it's a *lot* more expensive at my HFS.

Silk plain yogurt
Too sweet for raita or savory things, but not bad. The texture is a little jiggly, but it's not bad for a parfait or something with fruit.

Wildwood soyogurt- plain
THE BEST plain yogurt! I love it in Indian food and other savory dishes. Not sweet at all, which makes it great for cooking. My favorite!

[crsymes]

We love the Tofutti Sour Supreme!!
And not mentioned but our favorites are the soy delicious ice creams. These are awesome!!
Have not found a cheese yet that is good, so would rather live without it.

The Almond Breeze unsweetened is my fave! Cannot live without that.

Tofutti-American slices

We tried some kind of vegan cheese (might have been rice cheese) when we first went vegan...but it was completely disgusting, and I threw it out. This is the first "cheese" that I've bought since then (my store just started carrying it), and it is SOSOSO good! We had grilled cheeses..and they were so very yummy! I'll probably have to try really hard to not buy this every week! Mmmm.

"Cheese"
Follow your heart (vegan gourmet)-Cheddar
pretty good, and seems to be lower in fat than the mozzerella. I've tried to use it on nachos, though, and it solidifies waaaay too quickly... oh well =/
Follow your heart (vegan gourmet)-Mozzarella
great. i use it in vegan calzones; it's the best "cheese" for pizza-type stuffs. a lot of fat though!
Galaxy nutritional foods-Parmesan topping
It's ok... I don't think much of any of the parm subs out there, but this is the best imho... definitely can taste nutritional yeast in it, but it works in recipes that don't require too too much parm.
Tofutti cream cheese-Non-hydrogenated
pretty good, but i actually think the hydrogenated one tastes better! somehow, i find this one more pasty.
Tofutti cream cheese-Plain
i love this stuff. it was one of the first "fake" things i tried when i went vegan, and i didn't think it tasted too too much like real cream cheese; it's sweeter and less tangy (but that makes me like it even more). i thin it with some water for "sour cream" for nachos.
Tofutti-American
good taste - just like the crappy american cheese slices that i have fond memories of. pretty good on pizza, but the oil does tend to separate out.
Tofutti-Mozzarella
good taste, but i prefer the FYH for pizza.
"Milk"
Almond breeze-Chocolate
very chocolatey! but there's a bit of wateriness to it (as i find all almond milks). that can be forgiven, though (chocolate!!)
Almond breeze-Vanilla
thinner than soymilk, maybe even sweeter, but it'll do.
Silk-Chai
MY FAVORITE! The best "chai" flavored anything. I swear this is because cardamom, not cinnamon, is high up on the ingredients list. Unfortunately it seems to be more expensive than the other quarts =(
Silk-Chocolate
The chocolate flavor is excellent =)
Silk-Coffee
The coffee flavor is pretty good, but could be stronger.
Silk-Mocha
This doesn't taste much different than the coffee flavor... I expected more chocolatey-ness to it, but I can barely taste it. Meh.
Silk-Nog
Great, but too thick and sweet to drink a whole cup at once. I guess that's why the serving size is 1/2 cup!
Silk-Plain
This to me is kind of standard soymilk - not supersweet, has a kind of "beany" flavor that I don't mind. I use it in baking and maybe for cereal, but not just drinking by itself.
Silk-Pumpkin Spice
I thought this would have more of a pumpkin element to it... instead it's supersweet with a tiny bit of cinnamon. Not worth it to me.
Silk-Vanilla
Standard stuff... not too sweet, but it's too sweet to put in savory recipes.
Silk-Very vanilla
I love this stuff! Perfect for eating with chocolate chip cookies. Extra vanilla and extra sugar 
"Sour cream"
Tofutti-Non-hydrogenated
I like this one better than the plain; it has a thinner consistency (more like sour cream)
Tofutti-Plain
Too thick for sour cream... I always have to dilute it or it's too pasty.
"Yogurt"
Silk-Blueberry
Has a real blueberry flavor, but has a sort of starchy aftertaste (there's rice starch in it; maybe that's why?)
Silk-Plain
Too tart for me =p better for recipes than eating.
Silk-Raspberry
Good, but also has the starchy aftertaste.
Silk-Vanilla
Decent... not crazy about it, but I'd eat it if it were around.
Whole soy-Blueberry
Pretty good, but I actually like the Silk blueberry better
Whole soy-Lemon
Sweet and lemony. One of the best!
Whole soy-Mixed berry
Very fruity tasting; my favorite one.
Whole soy-Peach
good, but i'm not a fan of chunks of fruit in yogurt.
Whole soy-Cherry
sweet and tart... but have to be in the mood for cherry.
Whole soy-Strawberry banana
I think this is the most mild tasting one (because of the banana?). closer to pudding.
Follow your heart-Vegenaise (veganaise)
The best. Creamy and full o fat. =D
Nasoya-Nayonaise
It's ok. It's more sour than vegenaise... not a huge fan.
Trader Joe's-Reduced fat mayo
It suffices; it's nice that it's lower in fat, but that also means it's way less creamy than vegenaise. Nice to have a less-indulgent, cheaper option out there.

Hey, how about zen soy pudding? the one with the pandas?
The chocolate is pretty good, but almost too sugary.
Has anyone tried the banana or vanilla/chocolate flavor?
