Sure, you can get Cafenet if you're near a hotspot, but nothing like over in the UK. And Cafenet isn't cheap at $20 for 70MB or $80 for 350MB. There's a few people trying to get Mesh WiFi set up through Meraki devices, but not sure how far this has got.

Any reports of the Death of 1GB Plan are greatly exaggerated. The 1GB plan is still there but you have to go to a store to sign up for it. CafeNet coverage is very patchy and wouldn’t do it.
