Aren't they legally required to do so?

If you drink your coffee then pay, then yes, since you are now paying a debt and dollars are legal tender for all debts public and private.

If it's in advance of giving you your coffee, no, they could demand you pay in dogecoin only if they wish.

No; I've been to places that just outright refuse to accept physical cash at all, and I live in America.
