Bring a gun and be sure to keep it visible.

Dress like a 1960's pimp or a 90's rapper for a discount. If you really want to impress them, wear an Anonymous mask and a nice suit or dress like the guy from the Agora log-in page. (jk)
Wear some unidintifing clothes and maybe some sunglasses. A hat would be nice to. And don't hang around afterwards either. Be polite but not chatty and don't appear nervous. DON'T SHOW UP HIGH.

dont make small talk, get right to business.
have your money ready/counted
i usually have the seller scan my qr code and send me my btc then i hand him the money.
once you see the transaction thank him and be on your way.

I just purchased BTC with cash for the first time through LocalBitcoins last week.
Looks like every other comment here are just jokes, so here's my real advice:
All I'd suggest is only deal with sellers with a good reputation (the dude I bought from had over 1,000 positive feedback with only a couple negatives), and, of course, be armed. Treat the guy with respect and thank him after the deal is done. If you're going through LocalBitcoins, have them do the transfer to you, first, then you will get a text from LocalBitcoins confirming the transfer was successful. After a successful transfer, give them the cash. Thank the dude and leave.
Peace.

Lol basically just do everything -thuggy said. I personally would just go with a cash deposit at a bank since the rates are lower and its quicker for future reference. Also a lot of people on here are messing around but some are seriously telling you to go armed, why?? Bitcoin is legal and you are meeting in a cafe. Just make sure you do the transaction inside, idk how much you plan to buy but if its a good amount I would put it in an envelope, wait for him to send you the coins first but show the money to him and just do the whole transaction quick. Also if you wanted to get there a little early I would grab a chai tea latte

What's the reason you're meeting in person? There are plenty of bank deposit vendors on LBC..

tell them you want the bitcoin first and then refuse to pay due to poor workmanship
Just don't be a lil bih and get robbed
