Why not offer to make a $25 donation in their name? Seems non-committal yet interesting.

I don't know, seems a little like bribery to me. A coffee is maybe $3-$4 tops usually (generally a trivial cost to white collar professionals considering how much it could pay off. A donation is an interesting idea though, if they end up doing a favor worth repaying.
