Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
- What am I meant to wear? Looks like its not going to be an office type interview thing but I still want to make a good impression.
- Why is this a meeting in a coffee shop?

What's the role, and how big is the organisation?
I've interviewed people in the pub (admittedly over coffee not beer) because we're a tiny organisation (3 people) and anything more formal is pointless.
I would gauge clothing choice by a balance of your normal clothes and the type of role/organisation you're applying to. As it's a café interview all other things being equal I would assume that means smart casual would be fine. Personally I define smart casual as a button-up shirt, open neck, and more or less any 'average' trousers (so avoid blue jeans, cargos and fetishwear and you should be fine).
I would also wear something that you're comfortable in. You'll make a much better impression if you're comfortable in your skin (and clothes) than if you're out of sorts before you start. If they like you they've got the option of saying "Of course, normally we'd expect full evening wear" or "Next time those jeans with your arse hanging out will be fine", whereas if you come across as a fidgety numpty they won't care what you're wearing.
I was going to go for a smart shirt (no tie) maybe roll up the sleeves if its warm or jumper if its chilly. Smart trousers and shoes.
The last time I wore a suit was at a wedding 4 years ago hence why I'm always scrambling around to find smart wear!
