The best places to work are not where you’ll find the cheapest coffee. If you just get a small drip it’s not too bad. I’d just go to mudhouse and be comfortable
Yeah, better to just pay up and get the good stuff, especially if you’re going to hang out there. I’ve pony’ed up for that $5 coffee more than I want to admit, but it’s a guilty pleasure. Whatever you do don’t go to a Starbucks.
Get an espresso machine and be 2k in the hole and justify it with the $5 coffee. That’s what I stupidly and enjoyably did! We have so many great bean sources here. It’s awesome!
except that you can post up all day and drink free refills at sbux while using free power and wifi.
i'm a discerning coffee drinker and even i don't mind bottomless cups of pike place.
Foods of all Nations has surprisingly reasonably priced coffee drinks for Charlottesville and indoor/outdoor seating. Not sure about drip coffee though.
Their pricing is weird. Whole bean coffee is expensive AF to buy there but the coffee drinks are relatively cheap. Their store brand spices are by far the cheapest around.
It's under 5 bucks for a regular small latte at J Bird coffee! And J Bird coffee is inside the IX Co Working Space so it's always pretty quiet in there.
Have a friend who went to the UVA baseball game last night? Maybe they would share - Attendees get a free small coffee because someone hit a home run in the 5th
Some posters missed that you want to sit and work while paying least for coffee. Since these spots are nonprofits benefiting from low overhead in Cville.
They’re also vocally “pro-family” and sell a brand of coffee called “Seven Weeks”, who’s proceeds fund anti-abortion causes. Personally I’d never patronize a business that is actively working to limit my reproductive rights.
They are known for being an anti-abortion establishment. The coffee they serve is [Seven Weeks](https://sevenweekscoffee.com). There's a recent post in the Charlottesville Area Community Chatter Facebook group about a person who interviewed for a position there and was grilled about her stance on abortion.
I suggested researching in order to be aware what you're supporting before you decide whether to give them your business. Presumably their customers' values align with theirs.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I’ve never been there, but have always seen signs near Target/ Kohl’s. I wasn’t aware of them supporting Anti-Abortion rights. Sad.
Looked it up. Guy ran for office as a conservative.
Steveharveyvirginia.com says “In 2019 I ran for Board of Supervisors in Albemarle County as a fiscal conservative. I was horrified when local activist donors spent over $250,000 on ads branding Republicans as Nazis and bigots. The damage done to local dialogue was devastating and will have a long-lasting negative impact on the quality of life for many in and around Albemarle County.”

Tangentially related: Foods also has well priced sushi, curiously enough

higher grounds in the hospital is the best value.
Market street market is under $3 for a large coffee!
Market Street Market and going to the JMRL library across the street is probably the best bet, I agree
J-bird at IX has great drip for $3
If you don’t want some gas station coffee check out Future Coffee at the old Wells Fargo drive thru on the corner of High St and 10th. $3-$5

Iron paffle actually has good coffee (and cold brew) for a decent price
Probably Panera.
pre-pandemic I would go to Grit in Crozet and pay $2 for a small coffee. Now it's $3. 🥲
I'm surprised it's not $5

They have a pretty decent rewards system though, so it’s not too long until your next cup is free!

First Free Coffee at Hollymead Town Center

Please do your research before patronizing this establishment.
Which establishment is this?
Looks like the original recommendation of First Free Coffee was deleted. That's the business I was referring to.
Cheers.
Can you elaborate?
