I'm sorry, could I change my order from coffee to tea?

すいません、やっぱりコーヒーから紅茶に注文を変更できますか?

I've seen やっぱり translated as "after all" in English. 

Therefore, you could say, "I'm sorry, could I change my order? I decided to have tea after all."

In this case, using "after all" emphasizes the idea that you'd rather have tea instead of coffee. 

The phrase could be also be used in other ways depending on the idea being conveyed and sentence structure. 

You did a really good job on the writing!
