WRX USA mentioned DeAnza College with the solar panel parking ( the area where they used to have the DeAnza autocross). Parking is $3 - the local students might already have a parking pass (parking patrol still monitors on Sundays). It's not free but does have shade. Downside is you'll have to buy your Philz down the street...

I live near a local coffee shop on Dana st in downtown mountain view there is 2 locations to park one across the street from the cafe behind the mechanic and smog shop (there is a lot of shade) or down the street in the cvs parking structure. Just throwing a suggestion, the coffee IMO is pretty good they roast in house plus there is a lot of resturants near by.

Also, I feel the Philz location is just much better overall. Easy to get to. Nearest exits for MVDT are 85, 101 and 237. Even then, its a bit of a ways to get to the posted locations. However, I would be in favor of it just because its a few blocks away from me.
I feel there would be too much traffic in MVDT even though its a sunday.. As for the CVS, security hates people hanging in the parking garage.

Philz makes some damn good coffee. I would rather compromise shade so I can have good coffee and pastries. If shade is a huge deal I'd suggest bring an ez up although that would be a pain for others to park. Bring an umbrella or something...
