When your traffic is in plain-text while you're in a wifi cafe, you give your privacy to the one operating that access point already. https was designed for these scenarios. When your traffic is sensitive, use https. I'm wondering what would one gain by eavesdropping unimportant traffic of others in an Internet cafe? I'm not sure if this attack can cause any noticeable damage.
