I wouldn't go out of my way to visit Pepsi but because we were walking around it was worth popping in to experience a bit of nostalgia. More

Pepsi is such an icon you must see this place. I was here last year but the place has been greatly improved and expanded. I liked the "original recipe" being printed on the wall, great souvenirs, and the place was very well done. If you're close to town at all you must come here. More

This business expanded due to popular demand. A must see in New Bern, NC. Expanded gift shop and history monitors gives you a blast from the past while drinking a cold Pepsi cola. A must see while visiting historic New Bern, NC! More

It is a very small store, but we always take our family and friends from out of town, to go in sign the book and buy a Pepsi, a fun thing to do when you are walking around down town. They also have a variety of Pepsi and Mountain Dew suvenirs. More
