Be Free Cafe is open until 8pm Sunday through Thursday and 9pm Friday and Saturday, so ice cream, gelato, floats, and sandwiches make an easy after-dinner stop at Red Mill Commons.
The shop isn't only a morning coffee stop. Weekdays open at 7am and weekends at 8am, then run through those evening close times.

We're at 2336 Elson Green Ave #107, Virginia Beach, VA 23456. Parking is free on site, and walk-ins are welcome. If you're arriving close to close, give yourself a few minutes to choose a flavor.
What to order after dinner
Start with the scoop case, or ask for a dessert built from it: a three mini-scoop flight, a root beer or cold brew float, a sorbet refresher, an affogato, or an ice cream sandwich. Floats and refreshers go deeper on those two drinks. Coffee is still available during open hours if you want an after-dinner drink instead of, or with, a scoop. See The Coffee Bar at Be Free Cafe for the drink list.
Patio
The cafe has a family- and dog-friendly patio in season. If sitting outside is the reason for your visit, check with us that day.
A simple evening plan
Park on site, walk in, and start at the case. If a group can't agree on one flavor, the three-scoop sampler is an easy way to split the difference. You can also order online for pickup when you want less time at the counter. For weekday-morning details, see Plan Your Visit to Red Mill Commons.
