I want to ask a good friend for coffee. We are due for a catch-up. It is not a date or anything formal. We catch up regularly.

How do I say "I'd love to meet for coffee sometime". From looking at the basic rules, rencontre doesn't seem quite right, for example. Any advice gratefully accepted.

Un de ces quatre (probably an ellipsis for un de ces quatre matins) is a colloquial equivalent of un de ces jours (one of these days.)

Another possibility, quite informal - but which doesn't explicitly contain "to meet" (which is the specific focus of your question, I know). In defense of this version, I feel it would fit better in a casual conversation than the previous, longer proposals.

On se prend un café un de ces quatre?
