The Coffee Bar at Be Free Café

June 3, 2026 · 3 min read

Be Free isn't just an ice cream café. Tucked into the same counter in Virginia Beach is a full craft coffee bar — pulled, poured, and crafted to order seven days a week.

From the bar

The everyday lineup covers the classics and then some, served in 16 oz and 20 oz: medium-roast drip, lattes, americanos, mochas, café au lait, cappuccino, shaken espresso, and our Voyager cold brew. Want it short and strong? Espresso comes single, double, or triple, with steamed milk for a macchiato.

Barista craft lattes

Our rotating barista craft lattes are where things get fun. Three to look for:

  • Maple Sea Salt
  • Pistachio Butter
  • Cookie Commandough

Make it yours

We pour 1883 cane sugar syrups — vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, toffee, white and dark chocolate, raspberry, toasted marshmallow, lavender, brown sugar, and coconut — with no artificial ingredients, flavors, colors, or preservatives. Add sweet cream, almond, or oat milk to round it out.

Coffee, ice cream, or both

Feeling indulgent? Make any flavor an affogato — a scoop of our small-batch ice cream drowned in a shot of espresso. It's the easiest way to enjoy both sides of the café in one cup.

Find the coffee bar at 2336 Elson Green Ave #107, Virginia Beach, VA 23456. Be Free is veteran-founded, and a portion of every sale funds the Kyle Milliken Memorial Foundation in support of Gold Star families.
