Farmers Market
Charlottesville and surrounding towns are great for local produce! We love going to the Saturday Farmer’s Market in downtown Charlottesville. The market is on Saturday mornings from 7:00 a.m. to noon. Find local wine tastings, fruit, veggies, meat, crafts and even pasta! http://www.charlottesvillecitymarket.com/index.html

Coffee
It's hard for me to get away from Starbucks, but when I do, I've ventured here to these coffeehouses.
C-ville Coffee: Great coffee, play area for the kids, quiet zone for those without little ones, and big breakfast sandwiches: http://www.cvillecoffee.com/
Greenberry's: A local favorite, Greenberry's Coffee and Tea is good, but they don't serve hot breakfast sandwiches on Sundays... http://www.greenberrys.com/
Corner Cup: In the craziness of the Corner near U.Va. campus, great Chai tea, small and a little messy, but tasty.
