Insights
Y Not Today is the day you start your dream?
Multicultural
Calgary’s identity is deeply rooted in its multiculturalism, with a blend of traditions, languages, and cuisines that weave together to form a vibrant tapestry of global heritage.
Time of discovery
The years of youth are a remarkable period of self-discovery. It’s a phase where the canvas of identity is painted with various shades of experiences. Embracing one’s quirks, passions, and dreams during this time sets the stage for a fulfilling life journey.
Ecological Harmony
The fusion of art, intellectuality, and an ecological perspective marks a promising trajectory towards a greener Earth. By leveraging creativity, knowledge, and changing the habit to use reusable cups, we can collectively work towards sustainable solutions and a more harmonious world.
What is Bingsu ?
Bingsu sometimes written as bingsoo is a milk-based Korean shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings that may include chopped fruits, condensed milk, fruity syrup, and red bean.
At Y Not Today, we borrow the Bingsu concept and make our own version of this Shaved ice cream with the base of non-dairy creamer and associated toppings that enlighten the main flavor.
What is Bubble tea?
Bubble tea is a tea-based drink that originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s.
An incredibly unique-looking beverage, Bubble tea is a Taiwanese recipe made by blending a tea base with milk, fruit and fruit juices, then adding the signature “bubbles” – yummy tapioca pearls that sit at the bottom.
In Calgary, there are many shops serving bubble tea, but just some of them stand out to be good to represent the authentic flavors and also texture of flavourful toppings coming along with each drink.
