Let's say I work for a coffee shop chain and their WAN is routed out of Florida. If my coffee shop is in NJ, will my IP address appear as NJ or FL?

Your WAN IP address will appear as if it's coming from Florida. You could verify this easily with a tool like this or this.
Note that a website may also try to do geolocation with HTML5, in which case (if you're on a laptop) your actual location may be revealed (accomplished by your browser scanning the Wi-Fi networks around you and using a database like Skyhook or Google Location services). There's a demo of this functionality over at HTML5 Demos.
