Suitable Starbucks etc. for business meeting?

[HastaLaPasta]

Hi all,

I need to meet a potential business partner for 1-2 hours one night next week, say around 7 or 8pm, which I'd like to do at a coffee shop (Starbucks, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Peet's, etc.). Realizing that there are no guarantees, can anyone suggest a good location that a) would not be too crowded at that time so that we might actually be able to get a table indoors hopefully near a power outlet for laptop and b) would be more or less between Marina Del Rey where I live and Hancock Park where they live?

The Starbucks in Culver City where Washington and Culver cross would be a good location. Rarely crowded and they have wi fi.

The Peets on So. Beverly Dr. in Bev. Hills is spacious and should be fairly quiet @ that time. (I've used it for AM business meetings & it's worked quite well).

Highly recommendable.

Spacious seating area, and parking is available, sort of.

Can be dicey at that time of night, given the existence of nighttime restaurants nearby.

but the coffee is good!

I'd try one like the Century City location on Century Park East for the reason that when the workers clear out and everyone else has gone to the mall you would have a better chance of getting all the little things you are looking for without battling a crowd.
