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.

  • Wow, I'd have to say this is one of the best - if not the best - canned soup I've ever tried. I was really surprised at the complex flavor and not too much salt, which is rare for canned soup. I tried the lentil stew, which had a butternut squash base. And for $6 per can, I'd never have tried this if it wasn't for this Thingtesting BOGO offer. I'd say it's worth it since it tasted much more like take out than something from a can or grocery store. I'm sold, will try the corn soup next and will try the other flavors too. I'll be looking for coupons!

  • I tried the Enchilada Black Beans and the Coconut Curry Chickpeas. Both were good, especially the Coconut Curry Chickpea! I would not purchase the black beans again, as they are something I could easily make at home. I also really enjoy the packaging of this product.

  • The coconut curry chickpeas were delicious! The curry isn't too spicy which I appreciate, the coconut flavor gives it a creamy flavor. I love that these cans are super versatile and can be used in different ways to help prepare a quick healthy meal that the whole family will appreciate.

  • Some of the flavors don’t personally work for me, but the coconut curry chickpeas? Oh, they’re so good!

  • Such a pretty can to have in your pantry. The flavors are very intriguing and out of the cans i’ve tried I think that the kimchi sesame navy beans are my favorite! What a fun staple to keep in the pantry or a fun item to take camping:)

  • I had high hopes for these beans considering the price, flavor options, and great can design. Unfortunately I just didn’t like the taste of them. I got the Harissa Lemon ones and thought the taste was a little weird. I wish they had used more spices. I did like the texture of the chickpeas though.

  • Easy add in for one-pan meals! I got a can of the harissa lemon chickpeas. Truly delicious and an great add to any meal. I wouldn't have these on their own as a side dish but they're great as an add-in for another dish (pasta, rice, etc.) I added them to a one-pan bake with broccoli and chicken and it was delicious.

  • We tried the harissa chickpeas and they were delicious in a curry! It was nice that they already had a sauce so it was really easy to just pour it in with the rest of the meal. Chickpeas had a great texture. A more generic sauce with it may be easier to use though as it is a bit limiting in recipes

  • Very rich flavor, I tried one and it was not for me. Very unique. Good quality ingredients that are hard to find.

  • Love this brand’s packaging and branding. Their flavors are also great. I love the suggestions that they include on the cans. For example, for the tomato Alla vodka beans, they suggest placing atop a toasted piece of bread with EVOO. It’s a great item to keep in the cupboard and so far delicious.

  • Wide diversity of flavors offer versatility for utilizing beans as a vegetarian protein in simple meals as is or part of recipes. A bit pricey as is but would buy on sale for a rainy day

  • The beans were honestly better than I expected them to be. I simply heated them in a sauce pan, added parm on top, and paired with toasted bread drizzled with olive oil, garlic powder, and a little salt--and they were great. I was continually surprised at how easy and delicious my meal was.

  • I love the coconut curry chickpeas. There’s a great ratio of sauce to beans (as in a lot of sauce which makes it delicious and flavorful). I paired it with quinoa and cauliflower to make it a complete meal and did get three servings out of the can. Worth the price when you can get those three servings plus it saves a lot of time!

  • This was just OK. I tried the kimchi flavor and it just kind of tasted like beans in sesame sauce with overpowering kimchi flavor. The mix of flavors didn't really go well together as a whole, honestly.

  • I tried the enchilada black beans and really enjoyed them. They are tasty and versatile. I can see myself using them in a variety of ways--on top of rice or eggs, in a burrito, etc. The downside is that it is high in sodium and a bit pricey. I can't justify regularly buying a can of beans for $5.

  • Oh so good! I purchased the coconut curry flavor. I really enjoyed the flavor and texture of this product. I want to try apricot glazed next.

  • Made tacos with the Enchilada Black Beans, was taken aback by how flavorful there were straight from the can. No meat or taco sauce required; these little black morsels are bathed in a savory, slightly sweet and tangy sauce. All I did was heat them on a stovetop and add some lemon juice, and they were ready to eat wrapped inside a tortilla with veggies, cheese and sour cream. So no grievances flavor-wise! That being said, there are two grievances: First, most varieties contain a monstrous amount of sodium. Even though canned goods need some salt, they don’t need nearly as much salt as they contain to prevent spoilage, and the flavor wouldn’t be impacted at all. Secondly, the price; I’m usually willing to spend more for a higher-quality product, but at over $5 for a can of beans or chickpeas? I only bought this because I had a BOGO deal; it wouldn’t be one of my pantry staples at that price point.

  • So much flavor packed into beautifully designed cans. Heyday never misses. I love the Harissa Lemon and Coconut Curry flavors above all. So easy as a meal over rice, although many times I just empty into a bowl and heat it up for a quick protein pick-me-up. 10/10.

  • I loved the product. It was a creative twist on chickpeas. The only thing I don't care for is "canned" packaging.
