Your desire is somewhat vague since you do not write down your motivation.
Did you already browse through K. R. Davidson's book
$,C^*$-Algebras by Example ? (*)
It's worthwhile!
At least kinda start of a list, with
$mathsf H$ being an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space:
Compact operators $:mathcal K(mathsf H)$
Cuntz algebras $:mathcal O_n$ with $,nin{2,3,dots,42,dots ,infty}$
$dots$

Any C$^*$-algebra which is generated by a finite or a countable set will be separable. Including the examples by Hanno, here is a very incomplete list:
$K(H)$
Cuntz and Cuntz-Krieger algebras
For any countable non-abelian group $Gamma$, the reduced C$^*$-algebra of the group, $C_r^*(G)$ (namely the norm closure of the span of $lambda(G)subset B(ell^2(G))$, where $lambda$ is the left regular representation). This includes for instance $C_r^*(mathbb F_n)$, where $mathbb F_n$ are the free groups.
For any countable non-abelian group $Gamma$, the universal C$^*$-algebra of the group, $C^*(G)$. This differs from the above whenever $G$ is non-amenable.
Irrational rotation algebras ($A_theta$ is the universal C$^*$-algebra generated by unitaries $u,v$ such that $uv=e^{2pi itheta}vu$)
AF C$^*$-algebras. That is, direct limits of finite-dimensional C$^*$-algebras. This class is huge, as can be seen by considering their Bratelli diagrams
Tensor products of the above
Reduced free products of the above
$c_0$-sums of the above
C$^*$-subalgebras of the above
$endgroup$

Another remark: Separability passes to subalgebras. In particular lots of (necessarily exact and quasidiagonal) algebras are subalgebras of separable AF-algebras.
