1. Easiest way: delivery apps
Open any major food/delivery app in your area (like Uber Eats, DoorDash, Deliveroo, Just Eat, etc.) and:
- Enter your delivery address.

Many apps even have a dedicated “Asian snacks” or “Pan-Asian” section where fortune cookies often show up with other treats.
2. Places locally that usually have them
When you’re out and about, your best bets are:
- Chinese restaurants (especially takeout-style spots).
- Buffet-style Asian restaurants.
- Asian supermarkets or international grocery aisles.
- Party supply stores (they sometimes stock bulk or novelty fortune cookies).
- Big-box grocery stores with an “Asian” section, often near soy sauce and noodles.
If you want to be sure, you can call ahead and ask:
“Do you sell fortune cookies separately, or only with meals?”
