Reviews mention

  • Creamy texture cheese rounds
  • Consistent, reliable flavor profile
  • Portable, convenient packaging
  • Satisfying, tactile unwrapping experience
  • Occasionally synthetic tasting cheese
  • Low-fat version muted flavor
  • Limited flavor variety options
  • Slight wax aftertaste noticed

Babybel earns favorable reviews as a reliably tasty, creamy, high‑protein snack with nostalgic, fun-to-peel wax packaging, but it divides opinion on flavor depth and perceived processed taste. Reviews praise portability, variety (including probiotic and plant-based options) and meltability, while critiquing the low-fat version’s flavor, occasional synthetic mouthfeel, and excess packaging.

  • I don't eat dairy cheese but recently tried their vegan babybel cheeses and they were really good!! A little pricey but reminded me of the real babybel

  • It's been a bit of a staple in the UK / France for decades but it's not the most delicious! Handy for snacks but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy them, the cheese is ok but tastes a bit synthetic.

  • These little cheeses are great for travel, lunchboxes or snacks. Tasty and satisfying and fun to open!

  • Babybel is fine, but nothing to write home about. Our toddler is a huge fan of all things cheese (aged cheese, soft cheeses, string cheese, etc.) but passes on Babybel.

  • I used to eat 7 of these a day and did not die. These are great protein sources, but not super creamy or flavorful.

  • I remember snacking on these all the time as a kid and they were delicious. Seeing them now as an adult, I wish they revamped their packaging to something more environmentally friendly - but I guess it's tricky with it being a single serve type deal.

  • These have been a staple in my families household for as long as I can remember. It always feels a little fancy to peel the wax off of the mini cheese wheel l. The flavor is always good and the cheese is so soft and creamy.

  • Babybel is a classic mostly for its packaging, but there's nostalgia there for sure. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with their vegan option with the green wax. The texture was pretty good but it had a weird taste I couldn't get past.

  • This cheese is absolutely amazing it has a great taste and is easy to open and use my kids love it and want it all the time

  • Love the Babybel cheeses. I wish there was a mid-sized cheese product, sometimes I feel like i want 2 and wishes there was better size options.

  • These things are addicting and satisfying to open. I try to portion control and pack with veg and hummus and crackers.

  • I'm so grateful there is finally a dairy-free version of these!! I love to have these with lunch or on a snack board. They are super pricey, but I think that's just where we're at with plant based foods. From my recollection, it tastes really close to the original dairy ones.

  • Been snacking on these since they were in my lunch box in elementary school. Such a staple, quick and easy snack.

  • Classic, delicious cheese snack. I’ve loved Babybel since I was a kid, especially the satisfying opening experience with the wax! Only complaint is that the individual wrapping does feel slightly wasteful.

  • Great for on-the-go snacking. I like how there are a variety of flavors, but not always the easiest to find at grocery stores. I was really excited about the vegan Babybel but something about it was a bit offputting.
