A Guide to Be Free's Seven Launch Flavors

June 17, 2026 · 4 min read

Be Free's launch lineup is seven café-developed flavors — three indulgent chocolates, two reimagined classics, and two original pulls. Every one is churned in small batches with real ingredients. Here's the full guide.

Chocolate Dark Matter

Dutch dark chocolate ice cream layered with dark chocolate particles. Deep, rich, and built for serious chocolate lovers.

Sea Salt Assault

Creamy sea salt ice cream with crispy pralined pecans — a salty-sweet tidal wave. It's made Philadelphia style (no egg) at 12% milkfat with a low overrun, so it lands dense and creamy on the spoon.

Milli Mint Cookie Chip

Spearmint and peppermint ice cream loaded with dark chocolate chunks and a chocolate cookie butter swirl.

Banana Breacher

Banana ice cream with crunchy dark chocolate flakes and a rich peanut butter swirl.

Espresso Escape

Silky espresso ice cream loaded with fudgy brownie chunks and dark chocolate pieces.

Cookie Commandough

Cookie dough chunks, molten chocolate cookie butter, and dark chocolate chips in vanilla bean ice cream.

Blackout Cherry Chip

Rich black cherry ice cream with dark chocolate morsels and a covert cherry finish.

Where to try them

All seven are scooping now at the Be Free café in Virginia Beach, with pints arriving at ShopRite in August 2026 and more retailers to come.
