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 like the flavots they are unique and I like that there are a ton of spices

  • Gorgeous cans of beans for gorgeous people. The vodka beans are delicious, I did not love the curry chickpeas. And the initial sticker shock may hurt but ultimately it’s pretty much a full meal and feels (and tastes) more elevated than a can of spaghetti-o’s for sure.

  • Not a fan - was too oily. Would have liked it otherwise.

  • I love these beans, especially the enchilada ones. They are versatile and easy to add to a variety of recipes. I especially like to have them with turkey tacos or with homemade enchiladas.

  • At first I thought the flavor combinations were interesting, but it was a complete flop. Funky taste and texture. One bite was enough for me. I wouldn’t buy again.

  • I understand this product has a higher price point per can than the average can of beans, but I'd say the flavors involved are anything but average, and they make for a great "quick meal" when I don't feel like cooking or am out of ingredients for anything else! All this requires is a rice, pasta, or other base, and boom - a meal! I had the coconut curry chickpeas and enchilada baked beans. If I had to choose between the two, the coconut curry chickpeas would win hands down. It has a complex flavor profile that would be difficult to replicate with standard home ingredients, and when cooked with rice, it felt like cheap gourmet. I was less impressed with the enchilada baked beans. I had them with rice as well, yet I felt that I could've likely made something similar at home with a few ingredients. It didn't seem like it had the same value.

  • I havent tried both flavors that I've purchased but I was not a fan of the Enchilada flavor. I mixed it with rice, cilantro and corn and, overall, it was very very intense. I love the idea of this brand because beans are so incredibly healthy and an easy add to any meal so I will keep trying other flavors.

  • I tried the Harissa Lemon Chickpeas and the Tomato Alla Vodka Canellini Beans and they were both excellent! I need to incorporate more fiber and protein into my diet, so these are great to hav eon hand as a nutritious side option for meals. I'm going to try blending the chickpeas next for an easy hummus!

  • delicious! these beans were so yummy and easy to bring to work for lunch, no can opener needed. I ate one can with rice and one on it's own and loved both. my favorite flavor is the kimchi.

  • The Harissa Lemon Chickpeas are so good! Used them in my Greek Salad and they add such good flavor. Very versatile staple that can be used in a lot of recipes. Will definitely be buying again!

  • I tried the Tomato Alla Vodka beans. They were easy to prepare. When trying them, the first thing we connected the sauce to was the taste of Spaghetti-O's, which is not considered to be a bad thing. I felt like the sauce could have given a little more, and it felt a little bland. I did like the consistency of the beans; they were not too mushy, but we felt that they were not something we would rush back to the store to buy. The brand does have great packaging, and for a new brand, they have put themselves out there, and I have seen great advertising. I like that they have such a variety of flavors and are both gluten and dairy-free, which, as someone who is always looking for dairy-free items, is very exciting.

  • Loved the enchilada beans — used them in a vegan quesadilla & they had a great flavor, perfectly seasoned & easy to prepare.

  • We just had the chickpea curry variety mixed with loads of veggies over rice and it was delicious. We had enough for leftovers after adding tofu and stir frying with rice. Highly recommend and looking forward to trying the other flavors.

  • The flavor packed into one can of beans was great and elevated the humble ingredient. It works as a good ingredient to combine with others to make a complete meal. However, the retail price for a single can is a bit steep for what you get.

  • The variety and flavoring options of beans are wonderful. So far I have tried coconut curry, harissa lemon, and apricot glazed. All taste great and pair well with rice or vegetable salads. From a health perspective, I like that the beans are non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free. The pull-open tab also saves time with opening cans.

  • The enchilada black beans were nicely packaged and tasted good in my burrito. I would love them to expand the flavors offered in the future.

  • I tried the Coconut Curry Chickpeas and they were soooo good! I roasted a head of cauliflower in the oven and then mixed that with the Chickpeas and ate it over rice with naan. Super fast and yummy dinner. It made 3 good sized portions. They are a little expensive but I will watch for them to go on sale.

  • I've tried these outside of Thingtesting (Social Nature). The flavor is great and you could literally just open one up for a meal/mini-meal filled with vegan protein, fiber & with a good flavor (easy open cans make this all too tempting too). I've been wanting to try the Tomato Alla Vodka one for some time but the only no-added sugar one I've been able to find is the enchilada baed beans. I hope that they make more no-sugar added beans soon because the addition of sugar and acidic ingredients generally makes beans just less appealing to me (if I'm eating beans, I want to keep it pretty strictly healthy and good for my teeth ya'know?)
