Located in the heart of McAllen, a cute place to get pastries made with love is one of favorite places to visit.
After the first bite in my banana nut muffin I was amazed. This was not your typical commercial muffin filled with artificial banana flavor syrup. They were real banana bites! After my first visit, six years ago, I keep coming back at least once a month, ok maybe is once a week, the point is after all these years, CC’S SWEETS AND TREATS is one of my favorite local places to get my pastries and cupcakes in mcallen.
These are the reasons why we always will come back to our cupcake heaven:
1. THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Not too sweet and not too to bland, their cookies have the perfect combination between chocolate chips and butter. Remember to try their “kitchen sink” cookies, they have potato chips, chocolate chips, nuts, and other yummy toppings which I cannot remember right now. Oh! the perfection…
2. THEIR UNIQUE MACAROONS AND THEIR YUMMY FLAVORS
My favorite are Nutella and Pistachio Macaroons. They are a must! Your CC’s sweet experience is incomplete if you are missing the taste of their macaroons.
3. THE OWNERS
Always happy and vibrant! They welcome you with a big smile. I really appreciate Roberta’s dedication to provide our community with freshly made goods, to remember our little children and make them feel special every time we visit.

4. THEIR SPECIAL EVENTS
From their crazy shakes events to the unicorn day or mermaid day. They always have me on my toes wondering what their latest yummy creation is going to be.
5. THE CUPCAKES: ONE OF THE BEST CUPCAKES IN MCALLEN
The staple of CC SWEETS, their cupcakes are amazing! Fun, delicious and pretty. My favorite: Hostess with the Mostess and Nutella cupcake.
