Friend: いいね。
The book said sentences can be flexible with word order, so I did not know if 明日 should go before or after ちょうと. Also, wouldn't it be better to just say 「週末ですか。」 rather than 「週末飲みませんか。」?

May I make this sound like a convo between two native speakers? We would never say コーヒーを喫茶店で飲む because 1) it is too bookish and 2) we use the word お茶 when talking about meeting over a beverage. It does not matter what you actually might drink. The word we use is still お茶 though chances are that more people would prefer drinking coffee than tea at cafes. Also, we do not use the verb 飲む. We use する, believe it or not.
ちょうと ＞＞ ちょっと
明日 ＞＞ 明日は You
MUST use 「は」. "as for tomorrow, ~~"
Me: 明日どこかの喫茶店でお茶しませんか。
Friend: あの～、明日はちょっと・・・
Me: そうですか。では週末あたりどうですか。
Friend: 週末ならだいじょうぶです。
