Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory (Chinatown)

The Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory occupies a small storefront at 56 Ross Alley in San Francisco's Chinatown and has produced fortune cookies on-site for decades, offering tours and demonstrations to visitors. The factory is a documented tourist attraction and local cultural fixture that illustrates Chinatown's small-business and culinary heritage. There is ongoing historical debate about the precise geographic origin of the fortune cookie, with both San Francisco and Los Angeles cited in different accounts.
