In the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, North Tampa’s Hello Sweetness is showing gratitude by offering free treats to first responders. The gesture comes as a heartfelt thank you from owner Nasser Ali, who values the community’s role in supporting his business through tough times.
Honoring First Responders with Sweet Treats
Ali, owner of Hello Sweetness, shared that his inspiration to give back came from seeing first responders work tirelessly during Hurricanes Helene and Milton. “For us to have the ability to give back to people who gave to our business and made us who we are today, why not?” Ali expressed. First responders, from TECO linemen to local police and fire departments, are invited to enjoy a complimentary dessert.
A Sweet Selection of Desserts
Hello Sweetness offers a tempting menu with items like waffles, bubble waffles, crêpes, and gelato.

Community Support Beyond Desserts
In addition to offering free treats, Ali extends a helping hand to anyone impacted by the storm, providing access to ice, power, or Wi-Fi to aid those in need. His goal is to help the community regain a sense of normalcy during recovery. FOX 13 News

Ali recognizes the integral role his community plays in sustaining his business. “We’re a small business; we depend on them every single day and, for that reason, we want to give back as much as we can,” he explained. Hello Sweetness wouldn’t be where it is today without the loyalty and support of its North Tampa neighbors.
