Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Company

Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory

The Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory (Cantonese: Gāmmùn béng sīkgūng , 金門 餅 食公) 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.[1]

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.[2] 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.[3]
