James_D's answer works well, but requires the user to click on the item to see the ComboBox. If you want to have ComboBoxes in a column, that are always shown, you have to use a custom cellFactory:

Example:

public class TableViewTest {

    ...

    private final StringProperty option = new SimpleStringProperty();

    public String getOption() {
        return option.get();
    }

    public void setOption(String value) {
        option.set(value);
    }

    public StringProperty optionProperty() {
        return option;
    }
    
}

    TableColumn column = new TableColumn<>("option");
    column.setCellValueFactory(i -> {
        final StringProperty value = i.getValue().optionProperty();
        // binding to constant value
        return Bindings.createObjectBinding(() -> value);
    });
    
    column.setCellFactory(col -> {
        TableCell c = new TableCell<>();
        final ComboBox comboBox = new ComboBox<>(options);
        c.itemProperty().addListener((observable, oldValue, newValue) -> {
            if (oldValue != null) {
                comboBox.valueProperty().unbindBidirectional(oldValue);
            }
            if (newValue != null) {
                comboBox.valueProperty().bindBidirectional(newValue);
            }
        });
        c.graphicProperty().bind(Bindings.when(c.emptyProperty()).then((Node) null).otherwise(comboBox));
        return c;
    });
