The atmosphere is welcoming and stress-free, whether you feel like Picasso... or more like "stick figure specialist." The staff is friendly and helpful, guiding you just enough while still letting you do your own thing. There are plenty of pieces to choose from, so it's easy to find something that fits your mood or style. Perfect for a solo outing, date night, girls day, or family fun. You walk in with a blank canvas and leave with something uniquely yours... plus a little extra joy tucked in your pocket. Highly recommend if you want a creative experience that feels playful, calming, and just plain happy.

It is a small museum but full of history for the fire truck to various hoses and nozzles to safety gear.

Being an emergency services worker from the West Coast, we were able to share stories and interest as well as learn from one another's experiences in the fire service. I would highly recommend this museum to anyone in town and I'll definitely be back to share more stories and contribute to the brotherhood that is the fire service.

They have a number of items and memorabila, however if you want to have a drink of the Pepsi products there is a charge. I didn't get anything to drink I just wanted to check it out since I think that a "birthplace" of anywhere is worth a few minutes. If you have time, check it out. If not well, you'll live.

Downtown New Bern is home to The Pepsi Store, otherwise known as the Birthplace of Pepsi Cola. The…read morestore is located where, back in 1893, Caleb Bradham developed "Brad's Drink." Brad's Drink was created as a digestive aid containing pepsin and kola nuts. It was renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898. Today, the Pepsi Store is a soda fountain, a museum and a gift shop. Caleb Bradham's original pharmacy was a wooden building that burned down before he died in the 1930s. A new brick building was constructed after the fire. The museum is in both the soda fountain side of the store and the gift shop section, too. You can read about the history and see the original fountain tools, Pepsi bottles, advertising, and antique collectibles. The walls and pillars have a lot of detailed signage. I didn't try anything at the Soda Fountain as I don't like Pepsi, but I kind of regret not getting a float. I think it would have been fun to sit at the fountain. But I was too busy reading about the history. Apparel was a big item in the gift shop; they had had socks, t-shirts, sweatshirts and even baby bibs. Tumblers, books, puzzles, stuffed toys, key chains, magnets, decals, signs and stationery (greeting cards and postcards). Restrooms were also available inside, which is a great convenience for those walking around downtown. I got to see Bradham's house on the New Bern Trolley tour, the Slover-Bradham House. It was built in 1848 and is a beautiful Greek Revival mansion. Whether you are a fan of the drink or just a fan of North Carolina history, this is a must-stop in New Bern. You can go back in time and see where Pepsi began.
