In a word
Arabic qahwa (coffee) → Turkish kahve → French café. A drink's name travelled through three languages to become "café," and in France the name shifted to the shop selling it. English took the word whole in the 19th century. From the same root: cafeteria, coffee, caffeine — a family of words made by one cup.
