I don't know how good this method would work on your coffee table but I have used it to fill a gap in floorboards and it turned out pretty good.

Get an old piece of wood similar to your coffee table and saw into it to create sawdust, collect the dust on a clean sheet of paper (the finer the dust the better so use a saw with fine teeth)
Now take the sawdust and mix it with wood glue till you have a paste, use this paste to fill in the gap and when it is fully dry sand it down.
Wood glue dries completely clear and if the dust is fine enough you should hardly notice it.
I have also used this method many times when I wanted to hide screws in wood, just sink the screws below the surface and patch over with the paste.

Hope This Helps.
