Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory

The Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory (traditional Chinese: 金門餅食公司; simplified Chinese: 金门饼食公司; Mandarin Pinyin: jīnmén bǐngshí gōngsī; Jyutping: gam¹mun⁴ beng²sik⁶ gung¹si¹) is a fortune cookie company with its main entrance off Ross Alley, between Jackson Street and Washington Street in the Chinatown neighborhood of San Francisco, California in the United States. In 2011, Wired voted the company as one of their top ten "geekiest" places in San Francisco.

The cookie company was opened in 1962. It is owned by Franklin Yee. They make traditional fortune cookies, as well as chocolate flavored fortune cookies, almond cookies, and other sweets. Visitors can observe workers using motorized circular griddles to create fortune cookies, which they sell for $17 a box or flat cookies for $10 a bag (Feb 2024). The company also makes "fortuneless" cookies. They charge 50 cents for photographs of the workers and the factory interior.
