“Which coffee drink is also an actor?”/“Al cappuccino.”

New York City-born actor Al Pacino has nothing to do with cappuccino coffee, but there is an Al Cappuccino Coffee House in Newport Beach, California. “Although I prefer the kind of coffee that makes an offer I can’t refuse. Al Cappuccino”—from a famous line in the film The Godfather (1972)—was posted on Twitter on January 27, 2011.
 
A riddle was posted on Reddit—3amjokes on October 9, 2017:
