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.

  • 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.

  • Great beans, full of flavor, and not too salty like other canned beans with seasoning

  • Delicious and convenient! I have tried both the kimchi and harissa beans and was amazed with how flavorful they are.

  • Delicious and so simple!

  • I tried the Harissa Lemon Chickpeas through Thingdrop’s testing program. I had the beans alongside rice and some fried halloumi (recommended as a pairing on the can) and it was tasty! The sauce was very flavorful but the lemon flavoring made it a little bitter. I loved the packaging and the fact there were recommended pairings. One can was three servings which was a little weird to measure out. I would definitely recommend having these on hand for a quick vegetarian protein option.

  • Love the coconut curry flavor and the fact that the flavored beans make it easy to prepare a weeknight meal. Hope to try the other flavors which are all conveniently available at my local Whole Foods.

  • I tried their soup. It is very good for canned soup. I must give HeyDay that much. It's honestly better than a cup of soup you'd get at Panera, JustSalad, etc. It's still very expensive though. A single can runs almost $5 at my local whole foods. I just can't get myself to spend that much on canned soup. If they were able to bring the price of these down a bit, I'd make this my new go-to soup brand. For now, it's out of reach given my budget.

  • Average beans with cute packaging. Honestly not worth the markup. Can and will continue to get store brand or affordable brand beans. The flavors are fun, though and save some use of seasonings in the cabinet.

  • Obsessed with the chicken noodles. So creamy. Noodles were thick & perfect texture. Would totally purchase again for a quick dinner or lunch option.

  • I tried the lemon parm noodle soup and tomato soup. The tomato soup was rich and creamy, paired perfectly with grilled cheese. The noodle soup flavoring was unique, not your typical soup ingredients but was delicious

  • I have absolutely no issues with this product. It’s more than for the price point I don’t know that I see a difference compared to the bargain brand.

  • This was a great tasty soup. Perfect to have on hand for the fall and winter months ahead. Gives the feeling of a homemade soup without all the work!

  • These are some of the best-canned soups I have tried. The flavor profiles were robust and unique. Like any canned soup, so easy to heat up. Such an easy and delicious meal.

  • I really like the concept of hey day that a can of beans is a great and easy base for a meal. I have tried their chickpea coconut one as well as their tomato alla vodka and enjoyed both but wasn’t WOWED. At their price point per can I hoped to love it more I enjoyed it but don’t feel it justified the price
