Vegan, Non-Dairy & Gluten-Free Ice Cream at Be Free

June 3, 2026 · 3 min read

Everyone should get a scoop. If you're searching for vegan, non-dairy, or gluten-free ice cream in Virginia Beach, here's how to order at the Be Free Café.

Vegan and non-dairy

Alongside our signature small-batch flavors, we always carry rotating vegan, non-dairy, and sorbet options. The lineup changes, but you can expect picks like:

  • Sorbet of the Week (a recent one: Watermelon)
  • Madagascar Vanilla Bean
  • Dark Matter
  • Coconut Crème

Gluten-free scoops

Several of our signature scoops are marked gluten-free (GF) right on the menu, so they're easy to spot at the counter — Madagascar Vanilla Bean, Dark Matter, Banana Straciatella, Pointman Pistachio, Sea Salt Assault, and Wild Cherry Chip among them.

How to order

Get any flavor as a single, double, or triple, in a sugar, cake, or waffle cone, or make it a sundae, an affogato, or an ice cream sandwich. Just ask the team what's vegan or GF that day — the case rotates often.

Find us at 2336 Elson Green Ave #107, Virginia Beach, open seven days a week. Be Free is veteran-founded, and a portion of every sale funds the Kyle Milliken Memorial Foundation in support of Gold Star families.
