The '''Starbeans Cafe''' is a shop in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its 3DS remake]] owned by [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]]. It is located in [[Beanbean Castle Town]]. The shop's '''Beanbean Machine'''<ref>"''Have you tried the drinks made by my latest invention: the wondrous Beanbean Machine?''" - Professor E. Gadd</ref> utilizes a special  '''StarB System''' in which customers bring various [[Bean]]s to expand the menu with freshly-made '''Bean Juice'''.<ref>"''You can drink Bean Juice here. Use the '''StarB System''' to increase the variety of drinks you can get.''" - ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' instruction booklet, pg. 33.</ref> Each drink boosts a different stat permanently and requires a certain number of Beans.

There are 7 different flavors, and making each one for the first time is accompanied by a cutscene featuring E. Gadd in some manner. [[Wario]], [[Fox McCloud]], [[Link]], [[Captain Olimar]], [[Samus Aran]], and even an [[Excitebike (character)|Excitebike Racer]] [[List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga pre-release and unused content|were originally each planned to make appearances and taste drinks]], while Professor E. Gadd was only planned to appear once; these cameos were removed to expand E. Gadd's role. If all 7 drinks are made at least once, E. Gadd will put up a picture of himself next to the counter for the rest of the game. In the Japanese version of the game, icons appear next to drinks Mario and Luigi already made on the drink menu.

The name of the cafe itself is based off the real-life [[wikipedia:Starbucks|Starbucks]]. The [[Prima Games]] guide even 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'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Strategy Guide. Page 74.</ref> Also, three of the drinks served at the cafe have names based off real varieties of coffee: Hoolumbian, Chuckoccino, and Teeheespresso are named for the Colombian, [[wikipedia:Cappuccino|Cappuccino]], and [[wikipedia:Espresso|Espresso]] coffees respectively.

In the remake, ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', specifically in the alternate story mode ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'', it was revealed that the reason why E. Gadd created the franchise was so it would act as secondary funding for his ghost research which he mindlessly admitted to an already-departed [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] and his soldiers while rambling. In addition, the number of beans required per blend have been reduced, while also reducing the effect of each blend.

==Bean Juice==

*[[File:BlendyWoohoo SS.png]] [[file:///Users/donuts64/Downloads/Woohoo%20Blend.png]] '''[[Woohoo Blend]]''' – For 25 Woo Beans (10 in the remake), this drink boosts a character's [[Heart Point|HP]] by 4 (2 in the remake).

*[[File:BlendyHooHoo SS.png]] '''[[Hoohoo Blend]]''' – 25 Hoo Beans (10 in the remake) result in a drink that raises a character's [[Bros. Point|BP]] by 4 (2 in the remake).

*[[File:BlendyChuckle SS.png]] '''[[Chuckle Blend]]''' – By grinding 25 Chuckle Beans (10 in the remake), the Bros. can make a drink that raises Speed by 4 (2 in the remake).

*[[File:BlendyTeehee SS.png]] '''[[Teehee Blend]]''' – If 25 Hee Beans (10 in the remake) are put in the machine, the result is a drink that boosts Stache by 4 (2 in the remake).

*[[File:BlendyHoolumbian SS.png]] '''[[Hoolumbian]]''' – By combining 15 Woo Beans and 10 Hoo Beans (6 and 4 in the remake, respectively), this drink can raise POW by 4 (2 in the remake).

*[[File:BlendyChuckoccino.png]] '''[[Chuckoccino]]''' – 15 Woo Beans and 10 Chuckle Beans (6 and 4 in the remake, respectively) make a drink that raises DEF by 4 (2 in the remake).

*[[File:BlendyTeeheespresso.png]] '''[[Teeheespresso]]''' – The most powerful drink is made with 15 Woo Beans and 10 Hee Beans (6 and 4 in the remake, respectively). It raises a random stat by 6 points (3 in the remake).

 

Every time a drink is mixed that has not been made before, Professor E. Gadd will come and give [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] one of his inventions, usually coupled with a humorous scene. These secret items can be equipped in the extra equipment slot under Clothes and Badges. Like Clothes and Badges, each character can only equip one item.

If a drink is made that has already been made before, or if the brothers have received all seven items, they can still continue to make Bean Juice, but only the drink is received.
