I am not a fan of micro-managing. It bothers me to have someone monitor my whereabouts when they should just worry about the quality of my work. That said, I completely understand how the situation you're in right now is no fun. I'm sorry to hear it. :( I wouldn't worry about the coffee thing though. I'm not sure how many people you typically work with in your group, but on my last team I was closer with a couple people and would often grab coffee/lunch with them, and only on occasion with the rest. I'm sure he likes you and respects you, but he may not yet be ready to grab casual coffee with you. Hopefully that makes some sense. :)

I know you're looking around for a new position on a new team, and I wholeheartedly encourage that. It doesn't sound like this situation is ideal for you, and you need to be on a team with a manager who will foster your growth and help you to improve yourself. A good boss should definitely give you that support.

I hope your work situation improves or changes!! HUGS.
