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.

  • I loved these beans! Super amazing flavor and tasted great in a taco bowl. Price was a little high but you get the quality you pay for

  • I tried the enchilada beans. They were good, but nothing groundbreaking. They are considerably more expensive than other cans of beans, and just not worth it in my opinion. However, if you don't mind spending almost $5 for one can of beans...they are tasty :)

  • These beans were great! I loved the more unique flavor options. They were very flavorful and went well with my rice dishes.

  • Great tasting bean with a wonderful sauce. I don't typically eat beans, but this was great as a side dish with pasta especially since the sauce was rich and creamy. I recommend this when you want a hearty meal to stay full throughout the day. It is a perfect lunch side dish.

  • Overall, these have definitely elevated the bean game but as much as I wanted to love all of the flavors, I just didn't. The best, in my opinion, is the Kimchi Sesame - super unique and great with salmon/rice bowls for an extra protein boost. While I don't like the other flavors as much on their own, I did make some rockin sweet potato enchiladas with the Enchilada beans, and added the Harissa Lemon to a shakshuka to make it more hearty.

  • Stopped into Whole Foods to pick something quick up for dinner... I was immediately drawn to the fun packaging and logo along with the variety of flavor profiles. Huge penne vodka sauce fan over here, so I was naturally drawn to the Tomoto Alla Vodka. Maybe I'm not a bean girlie, but it just did not hit the way I wanted it to. Needed extra flavor and the texture was off. Interested to try other flavors.

  • The Harissa Lemon Chickpeas were really incredible, and a super versatile pantry item. I heated them up on the stove and poached a few eggs in them to make a shakshouka of sorts. But at their current price, I really don't see myself buying these more than once a month whenever I stop in a whole foods.

  • what a grain line of canned goods. my favorite is the harissa lemon chickpeas. their products really make meals easy.

  • i appreciate they are trying to make a healthy product. They are delicious and I love that I can buy with confidence knowing I am choosing a good choice for my family. My only compliant is they are so expensive.

  • Delicious! The flavor is pretty strong too, great vegetarian protein addition.

  • The enchilada beans were just ok. I had to doctor it up quite a bit. I would be willing to try other flavors in the future.

  • Can eat them right out of the can - so tasty!

  • I cooked the contents as a full quick meal. I’ve never had a canned flavored chickpea product before, nor am I aware of any similar products. Overall the taste was great—very balanced, however they were a little saucier than expected. Perhaps longer on the stovetop would have reduced them to be more my liking.

  • Very flavorful canned beans. They come in all sorts of interesting flavors that regular beans do not give. I enjoyed eating this with fresh naan bread.

  • I bought the Heyday tomato all vodka product, and my whole family loved it. I used it in pasta, and it definitely elevated the meal. I am eager to try out some of the other brands.

  • Great flavor soup. Slightly sweet but not overpowering

    Verified purchase

  • These beans are delicious and make for an easy weeknight meal. I added the beans to chicken stock with shredded chicken and sautéed peppers to make a quick soup. The flavor profile is superb - hint of smokiness and slight kick of spice, but nothing that is overwhelming. I will definitely be purchasing these again.

  • I purchased a Kimchi Sesame Navy Beans can from Whole Foods through Thingtesting's promotion. I'm not sure what I was expecting but the beans looked gloopy and unappetizing. Upon tasting them, there wasn't much of a kimchi or sesame flavor and the texture was mushy... would not recommend and would not buy again, but I can see it being potentially appealing to others.
