One cup, side by side
Is a cup of cream cheese the same as a block?
Effectively, yes. King Arthur's figure is the standard 8-ounce block, and 8 avoirdupois ounces is 226.8 g, rounded to 227 — which is also one cup. Cream cheese is sold in exactly that unit, so the packet and the measurement agree: a recipe asking for a cup is asking for one block.

Frequently asked questions
How many oz is 1 cup of Cream cheese?
1 cup of Cream cheese is 8.01 oz, because one US cup of Cream cheese weighs 227 g. That single measured figure is the whole conversion — every other unit on this page is derived from it.
How many cups is 4 oz of Cream cheese?
4 oz of Cream cheese is 0.5 cups. It is the same conversion read backwards, so this page and its reverse always agree.
Is that ounces by weight, or fluid ounces?
By weight. dishscale's ounce is the international avoirdupois ounce, 28.3495 g, so one cup of Cream cheese is 8.01 oz. A US fluid ounce is a volume and there are eight of them to the cup, so that same cup is 8 fl oz at the same time. The two readings coincide only for an ingredient that happens to weigh eight ounces to the cup.
Where does dishscale's figure for Cream cheese come from?
One US cup of Cream cheese is 227 g. The dataset records that as: “King Arthur Baking (8 oz block)”. That is the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart. Every ingredient on the site carries the reference its weight came from, so any number here can be checked — and corrected if the source disagrees.
