They have corporate firewalls and/or traffic routed through filtering orgs. Head over to your local starbucks and try to go to questionable sites, is probable you'll be blocked. Chances are good they're logging too, and they have cameras and in a lot of cases credit/debit card info too, so they can correlate things.
Mom and Pop shops are a different story, but most of the places around me are using Meraki boxes -- I recognize the log in prompt.
And broadly speaking, the cops realize that coffeeshops are going to have wifi and aren't explicitly putting up Tor nodes or trying to be an ISP, so they'll cut them slack if they can provide what deets they can. Usually they have insurance and lawyers to CYA on top of this.
