Do the fortune cookies contain an allergen warning when you buy them? Just wondering about the peanut and tree nut content.

What are there business hours or tour schedule?

February 24, 2017|

AnswerShow all 3 answers

I don't know for sure, but would guess normal business hours. Google Maps says 8am-6pm, 7 days a week. No tour, but you can see them pressing the cookies when you step inside. Very small place.
