DESSERT FROZEN YOGURT

FROZEN YOGURT WITH A TWIST

by esmeaceves

The house of the bubble waffle

This will be your place to go when you crave Frozen Yogurt and healthy options in Edinburg TX.

Clean, fun and healthy, this is how I describe this cozy place with a lot of options to offer for dessert lovers. Starting with several flavors of frozen yogurt to choose from, they also offer a delicious and vegan frozen yogurt flavor. A huge selection of toppings: fruit, candies, cookies, granola, coconut, boba; nutella, marshmallow sauce, caramel, you name it!

Immediately, one of their menu items grabbed my attention: the bubble waffle! It is a fresh made waffle ready to be filled with your favorite frozen yogurt flavors and toppings! You get a unique combination of textures and flavors!

They also offer acai bowls, smoothies, and coffee fraps to enjoy.

Their place is cozy, clean and fun. A perfect spot to hang out with your family, friend or boyfriend and have a good talk or maybe play a board game while enjoying delicious and healthy desserts.

FROZEN TWIST YOGURT: Delicious and healthy dessert & drinks.

CHICKEN FINGERS

WHERE TO GO WHEN YOU CRAVE CHICKEN FINGERS

by esmeaceves

A place to go when you are craving crispy and juice chicken fingers.

Chicken fingers, also known as chicken tenders, chicken goujons, chicken strips or chicken fillets.

Why is Raising Cane’s one of our favorite places to go for chicken fingers?

The freshly squeezed natural lemonade
The Cole Slaw is sooooo yummy
You will enjoy crispy, never frozen, and yummy chicken fingers made with the part of the chicken breast.
The homemade sauce!

We enjoyed the upbeat mood of the restaurant. The cleanness, and their awesome service.

Chicken finger lovers in the Rio Grande are able to enjoy Raising Canes in Pharr, Mission, Edinburg, Weslaco, Brownsville and Coming Soon to Harlingen.

DESSERT PASTRIES

5 REASONS TO LOVE CC’S SWEETS

by esmeaceves

A place you to get one of the best cookies, macaroons, brownies and cupcakes in McAllen.

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.

Check this video to witness Roberta’s vibrant personality and meet our collaborator @UnicorPurpleCat

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.
