Stopped by with a little over one hour between flights on a Thursday mid morning (Memorial Day…read moreweekend). I landed into terminal F and walked ~10m to get to Terminal B. The line was okayish (see photo). Took about 10-15m to get to check in desk. The lady at the desk was friendly. She asked me to scan my Priority Pass twice and boarding pass twice (standard, two different scanners). She asked: you just arrived? I said: yes. Then I was motioned to go in. Took the elevator up one floor to access the tables, rooms, showers, bathrooms, food, and bar. Today the hot bar served scrambled eggs with artichokes and spinach, sausage links, diced fruit, chia pudding, and cereal. The other food bar had a pot of oatmeal (with topping options), pot of mushroom congee (kimchi & green onions toppings), bread options (bagels, muffins, sliced bread) with spread options (cream cheeses, pesto, butter, etc). Beverage bar included coffee machine, teas, orange juice, and soda dispensers. The first plate of food was pretty good. I was hungry so happy to have hot food. The sausage was moist and flavorful. My second plate I got a bowl of congee which was unflavorful, but with the kimchi it was fine. I also popped in some sausage. I chose the sliced bread with different spreads. I don't drink regular milk so I had to forgo my latte. I made an espresso and added oat milk, but it was pretty terrible. But if you need caffeine it's something. I didn't have a hard time finding a seat. Other guests were kind and accomodating to each other. Bathroom was busy, and I had to wait a couple minutes. It was decently clean. Overall happy with my experience.

I did like that everything was self serve, so you can grab as much food as you want and relax before boarding. One thing I would recommend is arriving at the airport at least three hours early if you plan on visiting the lounge. I only had two hours before my flight, and I ended hp being on the app waitlist for an hour before getting in. The lounge can get busy, so plan ahead to give yourself enough time to enjoy it without feeling rushed.

Simply show your Priority Pass at check-in and scan your boarding pass. It's always nice to hang out in a lounge prior to the flight rather than sitting at the gate with the masses. During my most recent visit, I stopped by on a Sunday morning around 10:30AM. They had a BYO salad station, chicken tortilla soup, and cookies. The food options are meh, but typical and on par for a US-based airport lounge. You can also order a variety of complimentary alcoholic beverages from the QR code (I included a picture with some of the offerings as of April 2026). There is a water refill station by the restrooms. The interior is clean and there is plenty of seating. The staff are friendly and attentive.

It was a little crowded inside and at first glance it seemed like every table and chair was occupied. I grabbed some warm food and a coffee from the machine and managed to find an open table. Fortunately, I didn't have large bags with me. I didn't stay too long so I was able to quickly give up my table to the next guest who needed it. They are swift to clean up after someone leaves. I wasn't there for more than 30 minutes. As I was leaving, they were telling people to sign up for the waitlist because it was too crowded inside. Even though it's kind of a tight space, I've been in worse lounges with worse food and drink options, which is why I'm giving this lounge four stars. It was a decent place to sit and grab a little bit of food and drinks before my flight.

I stopped at The Cub lounge at the SJC, near Gate A8 around 1:30pm on a Friday. I was on my way to…read moreSouthern CA and at that time of day, the lounge was not very busy. The lounge is easy to find and check in was a breeze. The space is large - you walk into a seating area and to the right is the bar and food. There are multiple areas to sit and even a quiet area set back from the rest. We found a seat and I ordered a sparkling Rose. Each table has a bar code that you an scan and order your drinks, they have a large menu to select from but you can only order one drink at a time. The drink arrived promplty and after settling in, we went to check out the food. The menu is not extensive, they had a salad bar, chips and dip, bar snacks, a soup and some fried rice. Not extensive but that is a relief sometimes because too many choices can be overwhelming. The onion dip was fabulous as were the bar snacks. The soup was nice and warm and mixing in some of the rice made for a very filling meal. They also have flavored water and fruit, packed and ready to go. The wine are mostly from CA but they had a couple of French wines, I also tried a chardonnay that hit the spot! There was one woman who sat right in the center of the seating area and proceeded to gossip and complain about work and her co-workers as loudly as if she was in her living room. It was long conversation and even though she was loud enough to be heard outside, no one came by to tell her to take it somewhere else. I took one star off for that - the employees should ensure that it is a welcoming place for all travelers not just the self centered ones. The best part of the visit was the dessert, they had a fluffy layered cake, covered with mousse, jam and topped with whipped cream - so good! This lounge also seems less crowded than the The Club in another part of SJC. You can buys a day pass or you can visit this place with Priority Pass. Overall a great experience and I would go back again.

Quick update. Well…read moreafter so many name changes, it seems like at least they kept Oakland as the first word in their name. Nothing much has changed to this airport over the years besides the name. It's one of the airports I like using when I have to travel with my mom or if I need an alternate airport to switch to when flights are delayed. Other than that, it's not my top pick these days as it is further from us. Also traffic coming up 880 is no fun on a weekday in the afternoon/evening. I do appreciate they have a convenient park and wait area that's free and quick to get to the terminal if you do need to use it. But still top two airports for us in the Bay Area.

Free drinks included coffee, tea, and soda and there was a carafe of water and of lemonade and one of cranberry juice. Free alcoholic drinks consisted of red and white wine. The DOWN SIDE was that less than half of the power outlets worked and some of those that did work the plugs were so worn out that my power plug literally fell out of the outlet. Anyways 4 star experience down rated to 3 stars because of this.

My flight boarded at 6:10 AM, so fortunately they open very early for the earlier flights. The lounge is comfortable, plenty of places to sit and charge your gear. They have a full bar, but because it was before 6 AM, it was not open yet. The food was OK. They had eggs and sausages, hot and cold cereal, bagels, fruit, and that sort of thing. They also have juice coffee, hot, chocolate, and an espresso machine. That machine made a decent latte. Nothing fancy, but enough for a decent breakfast. It's a nice little lounge.
