You're never late, you're just perfectly on time in respect of your own schedule.
On the run coffee happens too, for sure, and I do it a lot. But there's nothing like that sit-down version spent with someone of value, or in a place (nature) of value. Ok, on the Champs-Élysées or in some little piazza in Italy is good too.
Wine, coffee, tea (Devonshire tea)...it doesn't matter...all is made better by having the right person there.
