Worth a quick visit if you're visiting San Francisco. It was smaller than I expected. Go in to see people hand-shaping fortune cookies. They gave out a bunch of fresh (still warm!) fortune cookie flats (unshaped). Don't particularly like fortune cookies you get at restaurants, but they taste way bet...

This place is nifty - you can see how Fortune cookies are made, as well as make custom ones for your friends and family! If you're in SF Chinatown, you have to stop by this place. Make sure to try some of the flavored cookies, too! They have bags full of fortune cookie "chips", which are just as del...

It's not everyday you visit a Fortune Cookie Factory. I'm sure 99% of fortune cookies are mechanically produced, so it's probably your only chance to see an artisanal production.

- Owner always give free sample.
- A full bag is about $5. Try a mix of classic and chocolate.

- They have "adult"...

Help! I'm being held captive in a fortune cookie factory! I always say that so I just had to go. The folks were so nice and friendly and the cookies were fantastic. Such a fun spot to duck into for a few minutes. Also cool to see how the cookies are made.

A delightful stop in the middle of a day walking around San Francisco. Friendly staff, sweet sugary cookies, you can get them fresh din the iron. They have different flavors and more adult cookie messages if you are interested. They will also customize messages.

To call a factory place is a bit of an exaggeration. This is a store selling fortune cookies and you can see two girls sitting and making lucky cookies. Spend a maximum of 2 minutes persuading you to buy fortune cookies, which you probably would not do otherwise. However, a nice and unconventional e...

Cool little spot. About as original as they come. Not a particularly friendly place and it's very cramped even without the swaths of tourists. Kind of get in and get out, but it's historic and makes good fortune cookies. Well worth a minute of your time if in the area.

One of the last authentic fortune cookie factories left. By default you almost have to give them five stars, not only because they are the last of a dying breed, but because the fortune cookies are actually very, very good.

The plain ones also are still pretty affordable, even more so when you co...

WOWZERS! What a cool place! We came here on a field trip with my sons 6th grade class. It is hidden in a busy alley across from a florist. It is a tight squeeze for a large group, so we didn t get a chance to look around. They offered us free cookies to try and showed us how the cookies are made. Pr...

I've been coming to the Fortune Cookie Factory since I was a kid, so coming here as an adult brings back fond memories. The shop itself is small, and there is usually a line out the door. Don't worry since the line usually goes quick. The inside is small with a limited selection of fortune cookies t...

Small and cramped. It's kinda cool seeing 1 woman hand making thousands of fortune cookies throughout the coarse of the day. The place smells great and they offer free samples, but charge you if you want to take a picture. You can get personalized fortune cookies for a small fee. Write your note...

Historical place with the best fortune cookies that are still hand wrapped. These cookies are light and crisp with a strong vanilla eggy taste from a secret family recipe. Not the leaden ones we often get that are mass factory produced at many restaurants. Go buy a big bag. Or six. Because they are ...

A great way to spend 2 minutes of your life if you're in the chinatown area as you get to see how just a few men/women hand roll a lot of fortune cookies in rapid succession. You can also pick up a rather large bag of cookies for cheap, as well as get chocolate cookies which I've not seen too often...

I really liked this place. Nice place to stop when shopping in Chinatown. There was a long line, but it was fun anyways. It was a nice sunny day when we went, not real SF weather. There is nothing like fresh fortune cookies. Best of all, all was good for me when I read my day.,

Amazing spot to witness hard work, and truly kind people. Yes this has become a tourist destination and it does get packed. So I read reviews and decided to get there early.

They allowed me to film and take pics. They gave me samples and I also supported them by buying some cookies that were deli...

Good for a one time visit for tourists if you are walking nearby. We can see how they are making cookies and buy them too. But they don't have enough assortments. Chocolate and Strawberry Fortune cookies are not available as a single assortment.

This place is off the beaten path for tourists, but was interesting. There isn't much to the factory. It's just two women folding cookies in the middle of a VERY small shop. You get offered a free sample when you walk in, which was delicious. They also have a variety of flavors for you to try for a ...

It's a very small store and they make the fortune cookies in the store itself. They have a ton of fortune cookie merchandise. You can also write your own note and they will put it on the fortune cookies for $1.50 for 2 fortune cookies.

A hidden treasure in San Francisco! This is where the fortune cookie was invented. Located on a narrow alley way in Chinatown, this little hole in the wall factory gives its visitors a glimpse into the making of this famous treat. FYI - They'll expect a monetary tip if you take a picture, but it wil...

This small shop is in a alley, when you enter they will offer you to try some. I brought one packet and they gave more free sample. Very generous! Create your own fortune cookie in a little fortune cookie box at just $1 for 1 or 2 for $1.50
