Tanner's Coffee Company looks like your best bet, they don't specify that it is free, but I'd imagine that would be good for them and it looks like it's in your area:
Tanner's Coffee Company
11901 Santa Monica Blvd

This one also looks reasonably close:
LEONIDAS CHOCOLATE CAFE

Starbucks offers many perks if you have a registered Starbucks card. In this case, you would need to purchase a Starbucks card (gift card basically) at a Starbucks store. The minimum you can add to a new card is $5. Then you need to "register" this card on their website. Then you are entitled to their perks available to people with registered Starbucks cards. Here's a link to this page on their website:

The Wi-Fi is provided by AT&T (you then register for a free account with them). You are entitled to one free Wi-Fi session each day for up to two hours. The Starbucks card must have been used once in the last 30 days. This includes the initial act of loading money on it or any use of the card. This would assume that you occassionally like to purchase something at Starbucks but with their member perks (free syrups etc.) I find that I've also saved a good bit of money on my occassional indulgences.
