Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory (Ross Alley)

The Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory at 56 Ross Alley in Chinatown has produced fortune cookies since the 1960s and offers tours and demonstrations. Photographs of the small factory, its stacks of fortune cookies, and the narrow historic alley are commonly shared and edited in social-media posts and meme formats about Chinatown and San Francisco food culture. The factory is a documented tourist attraction in San Francisco's Chinatown neighborhood. Visitors often photograph the shopfront and interior cookie-making process.
