Cream cheese Danish pastries are a taste treat that I didn't discover until a couple of years ago. Now, I really enjoy eating them.

During the past couple of years, I have eaten several different brands of cream cheese Danish pastries and have liked some more than others. The Walgreens Cafe W Creamy Cheese Danish is actually one of the best such pastries I have tried. This pastry is sweet, but not too sweet and it features an adequate amount of cream cheese filling, as opposed to many other brands' pastries, which contain only a small amount of cream cheese.

On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign this product a rating of 9.25.

The wrapper on this Danish pastry opens easily, but does not necessarily re-close effectively.

Overall Rating
