I've used Panera Bread before when I needed a connection before I got home. It was very stable. I only pulled up outside and used the wifi in the car, so it wasn't terribly fst. Inside would be better, if you are using a laptop. It doesn't cost anything, so just have to try it and see.

None of the Starbucks I've ever been in charge for use of their hotspot.
Granted, I think they get ****y if you don't buy a cup of coffee or something from them when you use it....

Over here in miami beach the two in lincoln Rd charge for their wifi (even if you buy a cup of coffe from them you still have to pay to use it)

The good news is that the cafe in front of one of those (david's cafe) have the hotspot open for you to use

Thanatos.
