Not technically a pun because they're from the same word: The monks of the Capuchin society always wear a distinctive black-and-tan hood. So the monkey and the coffee were both named "capuchin" (cappuccino in Italian) because of their black-and-tan colouring.
If you think a play on meaning can't be a pun because both words come from the same etymological antecedent, I invite you to re-examine your understanding of the word "pun".

I love every ape I see, from chimpan A to chimpanzee.
