いただきます・いただく
It is a polite receiving verb. Normally Japanese people would say "Itadakimasu" before a meal. Translated, it could be something along the lines of "Thank you for the meal".

However, as a verb itself, it can be attached to the 'te-form' of another verb to indicate appreciation. (Check out notes for giving and receiving verbs.)

コーヒーをやめて紅茶を頂きます。
Is this sentence a bit rude with the やめて？I don't know so I was just wondering。I thought it had more of the conotation of quit/stop.
