San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) is gearing up to make your travel experience tastier than ever. According to a recent press release, SJC is introducing a new generation of airport retail and dining, featuring a fresh lineup of food options that will delight travelers. This exciting update promises to transform the airport into a culinary hotspot, reflecting the vibrant spirit of San Jose.
The press release highlights that SJC is collaborating with top concessionaires to bring a diverse range of dining experiences to the terminals. Whether you’re dashing to your gate or savoring some downtime before takeoff, these new offerings will cater to every taste. From quick, grab-and-go bites to sit-down meals that feel like a treat, the focus is on quality and variety.
The plan is to bring 12 fresh retail concepts, including cafés and grab-and-go spots bursting with local goodness. Every single grab-and-go food item will be sourced right here in Santa Clara County. From artisanal treats to quick bites, travelers will savor the authentic tastes of our region. Hudson is bringing gems like Sweetdragon Baking Company (San José) and Mike & Niki’s Honey Company (Campbell) to the table, alongside the San José-based Nirvana Soul Café. Meanwhile, Paradies Lagardère will dish out delights from local favorites like Greenlee’s Bakery (San José) and Nokki Farm (San José), ensuring every bite tells a story of our community.
This foodie revolution is more than just a treat for your taste buds—it’s a boost for San José’s small businesses and a warm welcome for visitors. As San José Mayor Matt Mahan perfectly said, “By putting the spotlight on small businesses and local foods, we ensure that travelers from around the world experience the unique identity of San José from the moment they arrive.” With big events like the Super Bowl and World Cup 2026 on the horizon, there’s no better time to showcase our city’s culinary heart.
SJC’s Director of Aviation Mookie Patel added, “This new retail program will bring some of the best of San José and our region into our terminals.” And with all this local flavor, the airport expects to generate at least $4.8 million annually to support operations—a tasty win for everyone! Whether you’re grabbing a coffee from Daybreak Coffee (San José) or a sweet treat from Ginger Lab (Santa Clara), you’ll feel the pulse of San José in every bite.
Tech enthusiasts will also get a unique Google shop-in-shop features and merchandise only available at SJC. It'll be among the first airports in the nation to feature merchandise directly from Google. As a frequent flier, I'm looking forward to the new eateries and shops!
