Would you like...?

OK, I think, it is basic grammar question.

We can ask: Would you like to go for a cup of coffee? (and in my opinion, it's correct), but can we say: "would you like to go for/on/at (whatever) coffee?" Is it possible and which preposition should I use?

OK, I was just wondering if I can say "would you like to go on" (well, the (? or a?) reason is my mother tongue")

So if I want to invite someone, I always have to use "a cup of coffee", don't I? (well, should I make a question: If I want to invite someone, do I have to always to use (...) or maybe both are correct?).

I'm confused. Again

Let's go get some coffee.

Do you want to get some coffee together?

Can I take you somewhere to get a nice cup of coffee? Mabye some pie?

There are all sorts of variables. Why don't you tell us what you want to say, and we'll help you.

"Go for" shows the intention of doing something while "go at" is more preferrable to specify a time. For example, "Would you like to go at eight?" asks someone whether he/she is willing to go to somewhere at eight o'clock.
Not sure about "go on".
