Great place to visit to learn a bit about fortune cookies and grab a snack while you shop and site see! 50 cents for photos and you can also make your own fortunes to have put inside fortune cookies !

A fun, quick little stop off the beaten path. I was expecting a big factory but found a very rustic room with 4 people hand folding the fortune cookies . Chocolate fortune cookies were delicious!

This non-corporate tourist destination in San Francisco is also one of the best. The fortune cookie shop lets visitors see how fortune cookies are made and sells the finished product.
