Be Free started with a Navy SEAL and a café in Virginia Beach. Small-batch ice cream, real ingredients, and care in the work.
Founded on service
Do the work. Cut no corners. Look after the people beside you. Those are the values our founder carried in uniform, and they're how we run the café. Small batches. Real ingredients. Care in the work.
Plans to give back
We plan to support the Kyle Milliken family through the 1162 Foundation, founded by Mike Hayes. The donation percentage has not been determined, and administrative arrangements are still pending.
Born in the café
We develop our flavors in the Virginia Beach café kitchen and churn them in small batches. Come by to see what's in the case. Coffee and fresh-baked pastries are right alongside it.
Come by the café
A morning coffee, an afternoon pastry, or an evening scoop. It all comes together at one counter in Virginia Beach.
Crafted with gratitude. Built with courage. Made to be shared.
