New World Bakery

Very disappointed, got there at 2:00, and they were closed. The hours say they are open till 2:30, so I called them, and they didn’t speak English.

Best fortune cookies! I have gotten fortune cookies from several different places in Chinatown in San Francisco and these are way better.

I just bought birthday package for $ 6.99. The worker very friendly. Taste great. All the kids love it!

Show me your palms, and I’ll tell you your fortune… For a small fortune.
If you can’t afford me… This is the place to go!
This is that secret place in Sacramento that creates THE best fortune cookies.
Having a dinner party, a get together … Of you’re just in the mood to know your future… This is the place!
What’s super cool is that you can buy a large bag of «seconds» or misshapen cookies, or go for the real deal, and it will only cost you a couple of dollars. Super large bag, super inexpensive. Super good.
And if you don’t like your fortune from the cookie, there’s always me!

Best price for FRESH fortune cookies-​if available, ask for the «seconds» because they are half price and just as delicious! You are able to see the fortune cookies being made right in front of you!

The cookies are seriously good if not the best I’ve ever had… and for the price… throw in the experience of seeing the machines and the funky place it all happens and well wow. Don’t miss this gem of Sacto. They can build all the crushed Coors can arenas and fancy hotels they want… it is THIS kinda place that makes for a great city!

Walked in to a little factory and was immediately slightly freaked out. Lots of transparency here. There was one little lady in there who couldn’t really speak English and had no change for me.
I had to go next door to the noodle shop to ask for change and it was the same atmosphere. I guess you can call it a reality check. How else do you think these things are made in the masses, right?!
Definitely love the reasonable prices and great, crisp taste. Under 4.00 for two giant bags. Yummy deal. Can’t say much about presentation or «service». Though, you would know not to expect much immediately.

While I was next door at the noodle factory to buy noodles, we kept smelling the scent of fresh fortune cookies from next door. Since we were here anyways, I decided to buy a bag of fortune cookies from here. For a fortune cookie factory, I was a little disappointed on the selections they offered (folded or flat). I was hoping that they have more selections for me to choose from (different colors, etc.).

I’ve been by this place for awhile now. never knew what jew of a place this is. Someone where I work with handed me a few flops and I was hooked. the flops are the best of all. They are sweet and scrumptious from the first flop out of the bag to the last one. At a dollar and twenty-​five cents what an amazing buy. The ladies there are ever so patience with you.

My 99^th review! To me, this is what Unilocal is about. Discovering ‘hidden gems,’ ‘mom and pop’ places that you might not normally find. New World Bakery isn’t fancy, but the owner has been doing it for 35 years. Talk about dedication. If you’re in Sacramento and want a tasty, cheap treat, stop by and see with your own eyes, how fortune cookies are made, taste, smell… Great for the kids!
Small little shop, with boxes and bags of sugar stacked around, in a dilapidated building, but a piece of history, and Asian history nonetheless. If you’re a foodie, these fortune cookies are good, even great. Nothing fancy, just regular fortune cookies. They do taste a bit like little waffle cones to me. The Chinese version! :)
My daughter got a kick out of watching the ‘flops,’ in the machine. It’s amazing to see how they hand oil the little pans to make the circles, and how the machine folds them and stuffs them.
Two workers– the owner and a girl he was yelling at in Chinese. But that’s the way it is. Doesn’t get more authentic than that. We stayed for about 20 minutes, just watching the little fortune cookie machine. The owner even gave my daughter a ‘flop.‘
Highly recommend this as a fun piece of yummy history in Sacramento. Bags of fortune cookies (40/​bag?), are $ 2/​bag. Flops are $ 1.25/bag. They were out of flops when we were there. He said it depends on how well the machine is working that day! Guess it was going well. Check it out!

Love their TV fortune cookies — the messed up cookies. $ 1.25/lb. Very crunchy, very yummy and very tasty. We can’t stop munching on them! Cash only.

Being from SF and having Mee Mee Bakery’s fortune cookie coins growing up, I was excited when I found New World Bakery. I no longer have to wait to go back to SF to get my fortune cookies. Walking into this store, it’s tiny, by the entrance they have boxes of the cookies they are selling, further in the store you can see the machine working as they are making more of them. The cookies are okay in my point of view, they taste very typical, nothing was really special about them. Sadly they didn’t live up to the raving reviews I read.

These are without a doubt the best fortune cookies in Sacramento! That’s all that needs to be said. You can buy them at the store and some Asian markets sell them as well. There’s no excuse for any fortune cookie wielding restaurant in Sacramento to not be giving or selling these cookies.

Crunchy deliciousness! The best deal is a bag of the deformed fortune cookies for only $ 1.25. Why?! Because you can eat ‘em like chips, there’s no need to break the cookie in half, no fortune paper in the way, just effortless to eat and super addicting! Get a bag or two today!

This place rocks. $ 2 for a bag of fresh fortune cookies, and $ 1.25 for the flops (which range from not-​quite-​perfect to flat circles). They are yummy. Bring them back to your office one afternoon, and people will temporarily forget what a jerk you are the rest of the time. (That’s an awesome deal for $ 1.25)

Best fortune cookies possible!
Always fresh and very tasty.
The door is always open.
Don’t miss this hidden gem in midtown Sacramento.

I have been buying my fortune cookies here for many, many years. I used to work down the street from New World Bakery and being a student at the time, I was constantly moving my car so I wasn’t ticketed (damn you downtown!) Anyway, it worked out because if I didn’t move my car, I would have never smelled the cookies being baked every morning and I would have never stumbled upon this hidden gem.
It’s pretty neat when you walk in because one, you get to see how the cookies are made and two; you see that they also sell for real cheap! I always get the rejects (fortune cookies that didn’t shape) because it’s super inexpensive (I think $ 1.25/bag) and it’s super yummy! The owners are always so nice and sweet. Check this place out when you’re in the area. It’s hidden so look for the door with the screen! :)

I finally I got the chance to get some TV cookies (flop). For a $ 1.25 it’s so worth it the cookies are fresh and delicious. Absolutely worth the trip. The regular shaped fortune cookies are $ 2.00 and for the flat cookies for a 4oz bag are $ 1.00

Fresh, yummy fortune cookies await you at this little hole-​in-​the-​wall. This is a factory/​bakery that churns out oodles of fortune cookies and the odd ball shaped ones are available for just $ 1.25 for a big bag. Total score!
The people that run the place are very sweet.

Cash only. Fresh fortune cookies. No pictures.
Took me a few tries before I actually made it while they’re open. I bought a bag of the fortune cookies and OMG it was amazingly fresh, crunchy and smelled really good.
They also take orders if you want private messages. Characters are limited. They prefer to be contacted via email (that’s what they told me).
