Very small. Old drugstore feel to the venue. They had a counter where they sell Pepsi and popcorn. Only had one case with vintage Pepsi memorabilia. The rest of the store was mostly focused on selling t-shirts and other stuff. TURIST TRAP. Nothing like the Coke museum in Atlanta

My wife and I were disappointed with our visit (June 2016) to the Pepsi museum in New Bern. There was very little Pepsi merchandise on sale and a poor selection of Pepsi metal signs. Just an old building with a few Pepsi collectibles under dirty glass (not for sale) and a small drink counter. Employees were business polite, but not overly friendly. Not a favorite stop in New Bern and I see no reason for a return visit. Disappointing. 2 out of 5 stars.

It's really just a glorified gift store with an attached diner. I didn't eat at the dine in area, but the rest of the store was basically Mountain Dew and Pepsi merchandise with 3 small displays of 'history'.

What's not to love, Pepsi is the most delicious soda made, and this original soda jerk shop still offers the Pepsi via draft!!! It's a must every single time we come to town, and now I have my own little one to share this tradition with!!!!

Really cool to enjoy an ice cold Pepsi in the actual place its formula was invented! Phil, the guy operating the soda counter, was very friendly and entertaining. You could tell he really enjoys working with the public. Lots of Pepsi & Mountain Dew memorabilia and lots of Pepsi & Mountain Dew souvenirs to purchase here. At the counter, a large Pepsi on ice is only $1, including tax... And fresh popcorn (the only food product sold here) is $1.50, including tax.

What a great shop and museum. My grandparents were Pepsi Cola Bottlers so for me this was almost like going home. I certainly felt a connection to family while visiting. The prices were reasonable. With the influence Soft Drinks have had on America and the World this is a great stop. And its not over the top like the rival brand.

It is a neat little landmark. They have some historic information and facts, but not much else to do. It is mostly a gift shop, but you can buy nostalgic gifts like glass bottles of Pepsi and classic advertisements.

Staff was warm and welcoming. Good place to purchase a souvenir. They have a counter where they serve pepsi drinks and popcorn. The mountain dew is delicious here and tastes much better than the regular bottled kind.

A nice shop with a little glimpse into the birth of an iconic international beverage. Lots of souvenirs and memorabilia available for purchase. Super nice staff who obviously enjoy their job. A taste of history in beautiful downtown New Bern.

New Bern is such a beautiful and historic city full of unique stories such as this one. As I prefer Pepsi-Cola over Coke any-day, this was a very fascinating visit. It is not overwhelming at all but gives you a timeline overview of how Pepsi-Cola came to be and the man behind the genius of it. There are plenty of souvenirs to choose from and the workers are the best and kindest workers I have met in a coons-age! Highly recommend this quick-stop along the historic route.

I was born in New Bern so when I returned for a visit I stopped downtown to see how much has changed from my last visit. Of course it's as beautiful as ever but not this location. I don't know what to make of it. Is it a museum? Is it a memorabilia shop? Is it a soda shop? Whatever this location purports to be it isn't impressive. No food?? Just some random Pepsi items in cases laying around. Maybe I was expecting more but I left disappointed.
