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.

Because of inflation I have been eating more rice and beans and found that the Heyday Enchilada beans were very tasty. In addition, too many canned beans I have had are too hard but the Heyday beans had just the right texture, not too hard and not too mushy. The only negative is that they are a bit more expensive then the canned beans I normally purchase. Overall, I would recommend them to any bean lover.

I tried the cannellini beans in vodka sauce. It went great with pasta and I used leftover sauce to make a rice. Very flavorful for vegetarian meal.

I tried the enchilada beans and they were perfect. The sauce was so thick and flavorful and was perfect to spread over nachos on game day.

These beans are such an amazing protein addition for vegans. I could eat an entire can by itself, but they're great with rice and pastas too!

I got the Harissa Lemon Chickpeas and think they would be really good roasted and/or made into hummus. I added them to a salad and didn't really have any of the flavor come through.

I wanted to love the coconut curry chickpeas and I had high hopes for it. The curry flavor was not one I could link to any particular cuisine....too sour, heavy on the ginger and galangal and not enough coconut milk. Though it was not the best curry I've had, it was a quick meal and I loved the convenience of the canned beans. Just heat up the beans and serve with some rice and/nan and dinner is done. Also, love the retro branding.

The apricot glaze adds a layer of complexity to the baked beans, introducing a natural sweetness that complements the rich and hearty beans. The balance between the savory beans and the fruity glaze is well-executed, creating a harmonious flavor profile that is both satisfying and unexpected. The texture of Heyday Canning Company's baked beans is noteworthy. The beans are cooked to perfection, achieving a tender yet substantial bite. The glaze coats each bean evenly, ensuring that every mouthful is infused with the delightful apricot flavor. The easy-to-open can makes these apricot glazed baked beans a quick and hassle-free side dish or meal addition. This convenience, coupled with the unique flavor profile, makes them an excellent choice for those looking to elevate their culinary experience without sacrificing time.The marriage of savory beans and sweet apricot glaze showcases the brand's commitment to quality and creativity.

This brand of beans is excellent! They have so many interesting varieties that go with all sorts of things. I use them weekly in grain bowls. I bought the enchilada ones for a Mexican bowl for lunch today. I added rice, cheese, tomatoes, chicken, cilantro and peppers. The sauce from the beans acts as a sauce as well.

I had the Apricot Glazed Baked Beans. the low fat beans were good but too sweet for my liking. part of the sweetness came from added sugar. also, the sodium levels were high, so I probably would not buy them again.

These beans are such a nice upgrade compared to a regular can of beans. They quickly elevate your meal, which has been perfect for me on busy nights. I tried these with rice and sourdough. Both yummy!

I loved both flavors I tried and can't wait to try others. These were do good and so different from other options out there. They make for great quick meals if you need something in a pinch but have so much flavor!

I love the idea of making beans new and exciting with these exotic flavors. There is a ton of sauce in the can to flavor at my whole meal in addition to the beans, and I tried the Harissa flavor. It was delicious on it’s own and mixed with rice and vegetables. Not too spicy. While they are delicious, I can’t justify paying over $4 for beans and sauce in a can.

It's such a convenient way to just pair for dinner especially when you're busy or on the go. The beans also has great flavor, not too strong or salty and can even be consumed by itself if you wanted to.

Beans were quite tasty and enjoyed by the family. $4.49 a can is expensive compared to other similar brands and may be a deciding factor on my next purchase of a bean product.
