This may not be the cleanest way to handle it, but my guess is the coffee shop router has a typo error in the assignment of local IP addresses. When you are assigned a 182.16.0.x IP try switching to a fixed IP for the connection and replacing the 182 with a 172. If it works that is the problem. The cell phone may appear to connect under the same situation but maybe handing off the data to the cell network upon failure.
