"By" gives method (travel by train), it can also be used to give location (by the statue)
"at" and "on" give location or time. (let's meet at 5:00, on Oxford street)
You want to give purpose, and the preposition that gives purpose is "for"
Let's meet for coffee.
(Drinking) coffee is the purpose of our meeting
Wow, what if the purpose of meeting is not only coffee, but the main purpose is e.g. discussing a project? Does Let's meet for coffee and discuss the project. express what I have in mind?
