Pleasant place to grab a coffee and snack near Piazzale Roma in Venice?

We're meeting a driver in Venice on a Thursday afternoon at Piazzale Roma. Knowing us we'll be there early so will have wait time. Does anyone know a good place to grab a drink and snack near to the Piazzale?

There are several places, just look at google maps and streetview to see. There is the Pullman Bar, typical Italian snack bar with coffee, drinks, paninis, and the Ristorante Autorimessa pizzeria. These on the ground floor of the parking structure facing the piazzale. If you want to sit outside, some kiosk type places in the adjoining park with outdoor chairs.

Thanks, Sam. These are good suggestions that seem to fit the bill. I should have mentioned that we are leaving town and will have luggage in tow (small backpack and carry-on each) and are looking for something close to the lot. I'm assuming we'll need to trot out pretty quickly when the ride arrives. I'm only asking because we'll probably be there for at least an hour as we don't like to cut things close when we have an appointment. A place with seating, bonus points for less formica-plastic-McDonald's-like in terms of ambiance, but perhaps we need counter service so we can pay up front. Was wondering if anyone had found a place that was actually enjoyable to spend time, or if these restaurants are all pretty utilitarian. I realize this is subjective.
