Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?
Café is masculine in French. While the etymology tracing back through Italian "caffè" to Arabic "qahwa" is correct, the gender is better explained by the word's form and integration into French: borrowed words ending in -é often become masculine in French, and "café" was naturalized with masculine gender, likely influenced by similar French masculine nouns ending in -é (like "été", "blé", "pré"). The masculine gender is a fixed property of this word in modern French rather than retained through borrowing patterns.
