Well, since airwaves can go pretty much anywhere and can be received by any
people within range, all wireless protocols now have some kind of security
layer where you have to authenticate before you can get access. So, if your
coffee shop's wireless router isn't setup for any security, you'll be fine.
If not, you'll have to find a way to provide the password to join their
wireless network. I have, however, no experience with authenticating to a
wireless access point besides the AirPort Base Station...
