I'm in the job market right now, but being in a country other than the one I'm looking for a job in, it means that I can't do what you suggest. But, this is something I really want to do. I wouldn't go in asking for a job, but just a "I want to know what you do and how you do it (and what sort of jobs exist at your place)". I suspect it's great for networking as well, if they do have a job come up, they might think of me...

The only part that you can't do is the cup of coffee. That doesn't mean you can't start a dialogue. Many people got their jobs through this kind of initial contact and some common interest, often in an open source project. The best approach, as you mention, probably doesn't include asking for a job right away. Build some interest first.
