About Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory

Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory in San Francisco has been handmaking fortune cookies since 1962. Visitors watch skilled workers bake and fold cookies fresh on cast iron rotating griddle wheels, with the factory producing up to 10,000 cookies daily. The facility offers factory tours where guests observe the entire production process and sample warm cookies straight from the griddle. The shop sells fortune cookies in regular, strawberry, chocolate, and green tea flavors, along with chocolate or strawberry glazed varieties and chocolate-dipped cookies with sprinkles. Flat fortune cookies, available in all four flavors, represent the most popular item and pair well with ice cream. The factory also creates chocolate-dipped fortune cookies with sprinkles and giant decorative fortune cookies in boxes. Custom orders allow personalization of fortunes for parties, anniversaries, corporate functions, and graduations. The factory is located in San Francisco's Chinatown and welcomes visitors to experience how these confections are assembled by hand.
