We were expecting a tour, a museum, its was pretty much a small store with two fortune cookie machines. We saw how they folded and how they put the fortunes in. We bought a few bags for ourselves and for gifts. We were given so many free samples. They were nice and warm right when they came out to the machines. Fun place for a quick visit.

Every single time I'm in San Francisco, I have to stop by this place. Everyone here is so welcoming and kind. It's fascinating watching them make the fortune cookies by hand, especially now more than ever since things have become so automated. This little factory shop transports me to simpler times. Sometimes we need that. Whenever you purchase fortune cookies, they scoop a bunch of free fortune cookies and drop them in your bag. The bags come in different colors and are absolutely adorable. They have their origin story and history printed on the side of their bags, which is beautiful to read. This is just a wonderful place that always brings me happiness.

🥠 My Wife and I were vacationing in San Francisco and were just so memorized as to how vast Chinatown really is compared to our Chinatown in Chicago. It was a very memorable experience for us to wander the streets!!! We were looking for places to eat and buy souvenirs and we didn't realize that the alleys are just as important in Chinatown as the main streets! We got lucky and stumbled upon this magical place and even got a chance to meet the owner!!! 🥠 Founded in 1962, the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory has been dedicated to producing handmade, high quality and customizable fortune cookies! At the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory, they take pride in their handmade cookies for over a half a century. They only use the best ingredients, and their cookies are guaranteed to be fresh for up to 3 months! Here you can personalize your cookie with a special message and give to someone or for you to reopen later. We bought a 🥠 as big as a softball!!! So cool! If you're in San Francisco definitely check this place out!

Very cool place to visit and pick up all the different flavors of fortune cookies. It was very awesome to be right there watching them being made by hand. Thank you guys for the experience and I can't wait for the things I ordered to be shipped home !

Actually no, it's a very small place. However, you'll be okay to visit it. You might have a hard time to park your minivan. It's not that easy to park around there.
Yes. I think you can even schedule a tour of the bakery. Call directly to confirm.
The pricing of the bags of cookies is weird as we have experienced. They have $7 bags, and it doesn't matter if it's a small plastic bag or a big plastic bag with the flat cookies. Then there are those that cost double which are shaped like a fortune cookie and covered in chocolate, strawberry or vanilla dips with candy sprinkles. The boxes only contains a few, not as many as the bags with regular flat ones. They tend to calculate only with a calculator while you're choosing what to get and it gets really stressful because it's like you're rushed to pick what you want to get because of the line. We were manually calculating while the lady was using the calculator so comparing the total which was totally different we asked her how much per bag and box and if she calculated the price of $7 for all those 'mixed' sized bags with different sizes of cookies and she annoyedly answered yes. But after paying she gave us some additional free bags of cookies. Their product is not cheap.
Masks required, limited people entering, hand sanitizer available
The factory is very small. So it is not possible to biok a tour through it. Just go there and enjoy. They have also now a variety of goods.
If you provide the the little slips of paper with your message, they charge $45 per 100 fortune cookies. The owner is Kevin Chan. He will take care of your order.
Tf?...i don't make them. I was just there, their recipe is supposedly secret
Thank You David
They no longer sell almond cookies, only fortune cookies now
Call them. I know they do personalized messages
Just show up, it's a fairly small shop so you'll get the full tour the moment you step inside =)
Yes, you can take the Cable Car from Ghirardelli Square. Get off on Powell & Clay St. Walk down toward Chinatown. The Fortune Cookie Factory in on Ross Alley between Washington & Jackson St. About 3 short blocks. The 30 Stockton Bus will be cheaper & closer to the location.
