If you've been searching for a craft alternative to the big ice cream brands — Ben & Jerry's, Häagen-Dazs, Jeni's, or Talenti — here's what makes Be Free different.
Café-developed, small-batch recipes
Every Be Free flavor is developed in our Virginia Beach café kitchen and churned in small batches with real ingredients — the exact recipe we scoop at the counter before it ever reaches a freezer aisle.
Built dense, built for the spoon
Take Sea Salt Assault: it's made Philadelphia style (no egg) at 12% milkfat, with a low overrun — less whipped-in air — so it lands dense and creamy on the spoon.

Veteran-founded, and it gives back
Be Free is veteran-founded, and a portion of every sale funds the Kyle Milliken Memorial Foundation, supporting Gold Star families. Choosing Be Free over a mass-market pint puts your scoop behind that mission.

You can find Be Free scooping at our café in Virginia Beach now, with pints arriving at ShopRite in August 2026 and more retailers to come. Tell us where you shop and we'll work to land on a shelf near you.
