Heyday Canning Company earns largely positive reviews for turning canned beans and soups into fast, flavorful meal-makers, with standouts like Coconut Curry Chickpeas, Harissa Lemon Chickpeas, Kimchi Sesame Navy Beans, Enchilada Black Beans, and Tomato Alla Vodka Cannellini. Reviews also flag weaknesses: occasional blandness or excessive sweetness, mushy or overcooked beans, bitter or oily notes, very high sodium, and some flavors missing depth—making quality uneven across SKUs.

  • Heyday canning has options available in multiple unique flavors. I enjoy the out of the box flavors but the cost is very high compared to other brands and option.

  • Surprisingly good! The taste and texture is great. Feels more like a conserva than a can of beans.

  • The flavor options are unique and the branding is lovely. I'm glad that the chickpeas are organic, though I'm disappointed that other ingredients are not organic–particularly given the price. There are too many sweeteners (e.g., date syrup, agave, maple syrup, sugar, tapioca syrup), making the product too sugary. And I agree with other reviews that I'm disappointed they use sunflower oil rather than olive oil, which is much more nutrient-dense.

  • I used the enchiladas black beans to make tostadas and they were wonderful. The beans were extremely flavorful with minimal effort. I feel like it’s worth the price point . I would love to try this is in a chili. I will definitely be purchasing this again as well as the other bean varieties.

  • These are so tasty! Great for a simple side or as a main with some rice. I’ve actually purchased a few cans. My family really enjoys them!

  • Delicious beans and sauce. Easy quick dinner or side. Great product and would purchase again! A bit pricey at $5 per can.

  • These beans is very good. No crashed beans, interesting flavors, soft enough but not a messy . But I’d like to see more simple flavors without curry or pepper. It would be great.

  • Great selection of flavors really love the chickpea, harissa lemon can! The only reason it doesn’t get a five out of five stars is because it’s almost 5 dollars for one camp… flavor is amazing but it comes with the price

  • These beans are very good and SUPER flavorful. The enchilada beans were so tasty in a tortilla soup. They have a good kick to them. Will try the tomato all vodka next.

  • I tried the Enchilada Black Bean variety from Heyday and wow, it was good! We love using beans for our taco nights, and we were very pleased with this brand! They are a little pricey, but the quality and flavors were wonderful! We will definitely be trying out the other flavors at our local Sprouts!

  • The beans were easy to prepare, I just was not impressed by the flavor profile. I tried the enchilada, harissa lemon, and coconut curry.

  • I looooove these beans so much! They are so tasty and wonderful! The only reason I can’t give 5 is because they are a bit calorie dense for my current diet. I still think these can add to any meal and make an incredible side dish, but these aren’t satisfying as a meal on their own. They are also a little on the pricier side, but I could see them being worth the splurge every once in a while!

  • I really enjoyed the full-flavor experience! I had my beans over rice with no additions, but I can see myself adding some leftover veggies next time for a more complete meal. I recommend heating it before eating to help the flavor develop, as it tastes a bit odd straight out of the can.

  • I appreciate all the creative flavors Heyday has to offer. They truly turn the stereotype of "boring" canned beans on its head! I just wish they had low-sodium varieties. All of their products are rather high in the salt department. That being said, they taste delicious!

  • Enchilada flavor is the best. Keeps me regular hahahah

  • I know this is crazy, but I see the vision. The price point is pretty steep for the cans, but I had the coconut curry chickpeas with rice and it was a hit! If I had the money, I'd have them in my pantry, but it's more of a treat than a common expense. It's more of a luxury purchase.

  • Really yummy, unique flavors. I love adding chickpeas to salads and this allows me to spice up my salads while going lighter on dressings.

  • Never thought I'd love a can of beans – I don't even really like beans or chickpeas tbh – but here we are. I tried the tomato alla vodka first, and it is by far my favorite. I don't like buying pre-made sauces with a bunch of random ingredients, but I also don't always have the energy to make my own sauce from scratch. This is a happy medium. I tried and enjoyed harissa lemon, kimchi sesame, and coconut curry as well. Not crazy about apricot glazed. The branding and the website are beautiful. Every flavor has its own theme, and there are pairing/recipe recommendations on the back of each can. This makes planning and building meals a lot easier for me. To echo the sentiment of another review, these need to be positioned more like a meal rather than a just can of beans. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to pay $5 for these when "regular" beans are substantially cheaper. I received these through Thingtesting; otherwise I would not have spent the money to test them.
