Answer

The first - "Come to the cafeteria and drink a coffee." would be appropriate. You are moving towards a direction, so 'to' is correct. 'At' or 'In' would only mean location eg. "I am at the library / I am in school." However, "I go to the library, and I go to school."

In your example, "Come into the cafeteria and drink a coffee." is also correct.

Thank you :)

Answer

Just a note... "come at X" actually means an attempt to attack. Check the meme, "come at me bro".
