Heyday Canning Company earns largely positive reviews for flavorful, ready-to-eat beans and soups that make fast, satisfying meals—standouts include Enchilada Black Beans, Harissa Lemon Chickpeas, Coconut Curry Chickpeas, and Tomato alla Vodka. Reviews also flag weaknesses: frequent complaints about high sodium, occasional blandness or overly rich/greasy sauces, inconsistent bean texture, and polarizing flavors; many praise the vibrant branding and variety, but some find certain variants too sweet or salty.

  • Really good chickpeas! These are super flavorful and perfect for a snacking plate. Excited to try other flavors!

  • These are delicious! I have only tried the Tomato Alla Vodka beans so far and they were amazing, can't wait to try more. I was immediately drawn to these as I love the branding and aesthetic. After learning more about the product it seems like a perfect way to get in some extra protein easily and still have it be tasty. I spiced up my beans with a little fresh garlic and red pepper flakes then added it over pasta with some wilted greens. Next up is the Coconut Curry!

  • I was able to try the enchilada beans from Heyday and they were really good! They come in a thick, rich sauce, perfect for a batch of enchiladas (of course!). The sauce has a really good flavor - it’s pretty mild with just a hint of spice. This is a pricier product ($4.99 at my local store) hence the 4 star rating. If these were a little more affordable it would definitely warrant a 5 star review!

  • Update: Have since tried the kimchi sesame navy beans and the enchilada black beans - both delicious. The harissa lemon chickpeas were good but not my favorite - I think the rose water is an interesting addition but not my preference. Delicious, ready-to-eat vegetarian option! I bought a couple on sale from Whole Foods because they are kinda pricey. But the branding and flavors attracted me, and I had just gotten back from a trip and desperately wanted something quick but nourishing to eat. Also, in my area, buying the organic canned beans is nearly as expensive as buying the Heyday beans. I ate the coconut curry one (the harissa lemon one is still in my pantry), and I really liked it! The flavors are strong, and it really made my dish a meal.

    Really tasty meal-maker, but I might not buy it again unless there’s a sale. On a normal day, I can and have made similar things at home for much cheaper. But if you want convenience and are okay with the price, then these are great.

  • I tried the Apricot Glazed beans and I didn't think they were that flavorful. I rarely have baked beans because I usually avoid added sugar, and I was happy about these being a more natural sweetness. However, it just didn't really deliver for my craving.

  • Super fresh and flavorful. There was a smoky quality to the chili that made for a perfect flavor. I wish the can had some instructions about how long and what method is best for heating up, there was nothing on there outside of ingredients which was surprising. I was also expecting the veggies in the chili to be a little softer, but the crunch did give a more raw and fresh quality to the food so I can’t complain too much.

  • I tried the lentil soup, the tomato beans and the corn chowder and loved all! A little more expensive than your average canned soup, but ultimately the quality shows in the product. Really liked having a dairy free corn chowder option on the grocery shelf. Very nice products to doctor up with ingredients at home.

  • A very good healthy soup. Just not sure for the price point if it’s worth the value.

  • An easy meal that felt clean, healthy, and tasty! Especially the Corn Chowder. Will certainly be buying this on the regular.

  • I bought the Enchilada Black Beans and the Coconut Curry Chickpeas. The black beans were a great shortcut for a meal, and I could see using them in the future for fast enchiladas. The chickpeas, though, were not good - incredibly bland. We ended up tossing the last serving.

  • These were the best beans I've eaten in a very long time. The flavors pop and are so unique. I would've never thought to marry kimchi with navy beans but it works! I am looking forward to trying all of their varieties.

  • The coconut curry chickpeas were pretty good. With white rice, it makes a quick and easy meal.

  • Really great product! I’ve tried the enchilada black beans and they were helpful in throwing together a tasty, last minute dinner!

  • The seasoned beans are great. I bought the coconut curry chickpeas to make with rice and stuffed it in bell peppers. It was amazing.

  • Loved the complexity of flavor of these beans. Such a good way to jumpstart a meal! A little pricey but I’m treating them as a quality pantry item that might get me inspired to cook midweek when I’m out of ideas.
