The two sentences convey the same meaning. However, stop in and stop by do not have the same meaning. "stop in", means you stopped inside the coffee shop. "stop by", means you stopped near the coffee shop.

By is also *near* something while *in* is inside something. So do you go inside the coffee shop? Or you just pass by the coffee shop? Though the meaning of the sentences are same still they have a bit of difference.
