I ate at Ess-a-Bagel in Manhattan last week. They had at least half a dozen tofu cream cheeses that were vegan. If you scroll down half-way on this page (http://www.ess-a-bagel.com/menu2/), you can see the list. Their website seems to indicate there is only one Ess-a-Bagel store, but I know I saw a sign near the counter saying they ship worldwide.

Depends on how much you want the tofu cream cheese. It was amazingly good. I tried the herb tofu and the vegetable tofu. The herb was more like cream cheese I've had before, and the vegetable had a delightful new taste that wasn't as heavy.

You could make your own cream cheese:

1 box tofu
1/3 cup cashews
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy.
