term
Чаще же всего любители кофе располагались прямо на улице, на ярких персидских коврах в тени густой чинары. В жаркий послеобеденный час кафеджи, угощая чашкой кофе, сопровождал угощение чарующими душу рассказами.

I think you should transliterate the word and provide an explanation in the end notes.

Even my "kafedji" had disappeared, though probably
not without leaving instructions to his neighbour to see that I did
not make off with the quaint little silver coffee-cup and nargileh.

coffee house keeper, cafe keeper ,
This is a Turkish term for the men who owned coffee houses and is very common in Bulgarian ...I am surprised to see it in a Russian text

kafeci
Я считаю, что это слово надо писать так, как оно пишется на турецком - kafeci

Vladimir Dubisskiy
: Absolutely "kafeci" (not kafedji - why dragging the Russian variant of the Turkish word into English?) with possible description if needed, like 'kafeci, a cafe keeper"
