There are seven different flavors of Bean Juice to create. Making each one for the first time is accompanied by a cutscene featuring E. Gadd. [[Wario]], [[Fox|Fox McCloud]], [[Link]], [[Captain Olimar]], [[Samus Aran]], and an [[Excitebike|Excitebike Racer]] were [[List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga pre-release and unused content|originally planned]] to appear in these cutscenes as cameo appearances, whereas E. Gadd was only supposed to appear once. If all seven drinks are made at least once, E. Gadd will put up a picture of himself next to the counter for the remainder of the game. In the Japanese version of the game and all versions of its remake, icons appear next to drinks the player has already made on the drink menu. | There are seven different flavors of Bean Juice to create.

The name of the cafe itself is based on the real-life [[wikipedia:Starbucks|Starbucks]] chain of coffee shops. The [[Prima Games]] guide for the game calls the establishment "a" Starbeans, further connecting it to the restaurant franchise.<ref>"''It's a Starbeans, a beverage shop that takes the Beans Mario and Luigi find throughout the land in Blocks, fights, mini-games, and underground, and grinds them into concoctions that affect the brothers' stats.''" - ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' | The name of the cafe itself is based on the real-life [[wikipedia:Starbucks|Starbucks]] chain of coffee shops.

In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the number of beans required per blend is lower, but the effect of each blend has also been reduced. In the ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' campaign, it is revealed that E. Gadd created Starbeans as secondary funding for his ghost research. E. Gadd mindlessly admitted this while rambling to [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] and his soldiers, who had already left. | In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the number of beans required per blend is lower, but the effect of each blend has also been reduced.
