Highlights of the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory

The highlight of visiting most bakeries is what you put in your mouth, and while the homemade fortune cookies are delicious here, you can also take a tour of this San Francisco landmark. You can even watch the cookies being baked in the small open kitchen.

You might even spot a celebrity or 2 while you're here, as many have been known to stop in for a treat. One of the most memorable and unique aspects of The Factory is that you can order a customised fortune cookie message to make someone’s day special.

Good to know about the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory

The Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory is located in San Francisco’s Chinatown district and is very accessible by public transport or by driving. The tours of the shop are free of charge, but remember that is often very crowded. Keep in mind that you can take pictures of the small interior of the factory and the workers, but they highly encourage leaving a tip so that the busy family-owned bakery can keep up with the demand.

Since the bakery is located in Chinatown, you take that chance to enjoy a self-guided tour of some of the unique and culturally historic destinations in the region.
