Located in an inconvenient spot if using Caribbean airlines. The front desk staff tries their best but there are so many requirements set forth with passes. Overall decent offerings with a bagel stand, made to order coffees and spacious lounge area.

The Capital One Lounge at JFK's Terminal 4 is hands down one of my favorite airport experiences, easily accessible for anyone carrying a Capital One travel credit card like the Venture X. It's a very popular spot and often hits capacity, so I highly recommend checking their travel app beforehand to view the real-time status and join the waitlist if necessary. Once inside, you'll be greeted by an exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff. Though the lounge itself isn't as massive or sprawling as some others, it absolutely shines where it counts: the incredible food and drinks. You can enjoy a fantastic drink at the dedicated bar, or sit down at the impressive cheese bar that genuinely feels like a standalone restaurant tucked inside the lounge. Dining options are incredibly versatile, featuring high-quality self-serve food and drink stations, a cafe for fresh salads, sandwiches, and specialty drinks, and a convenient option to order hot dishes like pot pies and sliders right to your table. If you're rushing to catch a flight, they even have a great selection of packed items to take with you to-go. I found the seating to be very comfortable, and management does a great job of pacing entry so the room never feels overwhelmingly crowded. The Wi-Fi speeds are more than capable for catching up on work, but the true highlight of my visit was the chocolate chip cookies. They're are so phenomenal that I must have had five of them before my flight!

Excellent service at Case One Lounge at JFK. I've been here a few times, and there are always plenty of seats. As soon as you walk in the door, you're checked in, and if it is your first time, the folks at the counter explain where everything is. Their decorations are nice and usually on theme for the holidays. There are QR codes at each table for you to order warm bites as well as a station for fresh bagel orders. You can grab salads, bagels, snacks, pastries, etc to go. There are to-go bags if you're pressed on time. The bathrooms are large and clean. The food and drinks are restocked frequently. On my most recent visit, they had boxed water in the fridge and cold brew, chai, and other drinks on tap across the bagel station. The things that i've tried that have stood out to me from here are their deviled eggs, home fries, and Italian salad. I haven't gotten to try their Cheesemonger station yet, but that's next!

This might be the fanciest of all the Capital one lounges I've been to! It's huge for one thing, but also the bagel counter, the little cafe, the cheesemonger station, etc. And love love love that it's open 24/7, perfect for when you just need to sit somewhere and wait before a flight. Sadly, this is what we were here for, waiting for a few hours before our super early morning flight and most of those amenities and areas were closed off. But everything opens up again at 5am so we were able to snag a few snacks before we had to head out.

Outstanding food, exceptional service! I was really impressed at the quality of food offering many healthy options. Vegan and vegetarian friendly. I love that you can grab and go with some items too! A bagel bar, cheese tasting, lattes & cold brew on tap, and drinks! I got a toasted everything bagel with scallion schmear and matcha latte! Scan the QR code on your table for hot items. Everyone was very kind and quick to ensure cleanliness. They have bathrooms and showers too. You can only access 3 hours before a flight. Keep that in mind if your flight is out of another terminal. Complimentary access for venture x card holders or $90 entry fee.

Capital One, you really outdid yourself! The service from check in to all the food options were lovely! It's a 24/7 lounge, and the food changes with the meal period. It was breakfast when we arrived. They had a wonderful selection of cold grab and go items, tasting plates and made to order hot bar foods. The tasting menu consisted of pastries, mini avocado toasts (they were delicious!), rhubarb and strawberry overnight oats (sweet and tasty)! The facilities were excellent! There was plenty of lounge room, space to relax and showers! They let you take things to go on the flight too. I grabbed another Chia Oat milk latte and left. Being a card holder definitely has some amazing perks! I'll have to come back to try the Cheese Monger section!

Great lounge with lots of fresh options. There is a bar, coffee bar, hot food bar and a "cheesemonger" (wasn't open when I was there in the morning). Best part is the "to go" so you can take food and drinks out. Customer service was wonderful (shout out to Bianca). Clean, friendly lounge. Did not have to wait early am on a Saturday to get in. They have showers and a family room for changing/breastfeeding . The only mini criticism I have is that there aren't enough bathrooms, it wasn't super busy when I was there but there was always a wait for the bathrooms as there are only about 6 stalls (all gender private bathrooms, very spacious)

I can't believe a Capital One lounge opened in JFK and I have to say that this is probably the best lounge here! It was a blessing in disguise for my other usual lounge to be full because I might've not noticed it on my way towards my gate! Anyway, I had to add my two cents, because it's pretty ridiculous that there are reviews here saying this is one of the best airport lounges they've been to, but still find something to complain about like this is a Michelin star restaurant. Don't let those reviews scare you away from a visit! I don't even know where to start, but there's a amazing grab & go counter near the entrance, which includes coffee, toasted bagels, and a hot breakfast sandwich! There's the small bites area, which was pretty awesome, but this location even has a QR menu you can scan and order a few things your way, such as sliders and mac & cheese! And if you have 45 minutes (haha), there's a cheese bar where you can reserve a seat and sample their selection of cheeses. Maybe next time, Capital One!

Amazing experience! We skipped Amex Centurion lounge for this one because I heard Centurion is always crowded. Ended up being a good decision. What really peaked our interest was they told us there is a parents lounge, so we went there first. Best parent's/nursing room so far. It even has a Philips bottle warmer! Nice clean room, with diapers and wipes and changing station. Whoever designed this room must be a parent. Tons of food choices. At the cafe bar, you can order sandwiches/bagels, cups of salads to go. At the tables, you can scan the QR code to order food from kitchen. There's a buffet for other small eats. The cheese bar! Ah too bad we didn't have enough time to enjoy the tasting experience. It's all the way at the end of the lounge on the left side and need to get on the list when you get there. Staff are all friendly and said hi to my baby. Staff also constantly cleaned and replenished the buffet. Bathrooms are very roomy and clean. Also they gave us a bib for my baby. Super cute. Amazing experience and thank the staff for making it friendly.

the new capital one lounge has finally opened at jfk, and after seeing so many reviews, my expectations were very high. i'm happy to say that everything completely met those expectations. the experience feels unique from the moment you walk in, starting with a fun new york-style bodega concept right at the entrance. for someone like me who doesn't usually like to eat a full meal before a flight, this was an incredible option. i ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese to go. nearby, there was also a self-serve snack station where you can fill a bag to take with you. when i visited, the options included dried vegetable chips, crunchy corn snacks, and chocolate-covered espresso beans. it was fun putting together a little trail mix. you can also order drinks to go, including lattes, coffee, and matcha, although i didn't try any. toward the back of the lounge, there is a hot food section. while there weren't a ton of different options, everything was presented beautifully, served in larger quantities, and looked very appealing. there was also a dessert section. i tried the brownie, which was rich and decadent without being overly sweet, which i really enjoyed. i also had an apple turnover, which tasted a bit stale and seemed on the older side. if you continue further into the lounge, there is a cheese station offering a more personalized experience with guided cheese pairings. i didn't try this since i prefer not to eat too much before flying, but it looked incredible. toward the back right of the lounge, there is a full bar with unique specialty beverages inspired by new york. the staff throughout the lounge was very nice, helpful, and accommodating, especially when answering questions. the seating was extremely comfortable, with many different options depending on whether you prefer a table or more of a lounge-style seat. there are also bathrooms inside the lounge.

The Capital One Lounge at JFK is opened earlier this year and it's one of the best airport lounges I've been to. It's spacious and the service is fast and friendly. The food isn't mind-blowingly good or anything, but it's decent, especially compared to some other airport lounges. They have a few different options for food. I like that you can scan a QR code and order small tapas-style plates to your table. You can also go up to the bagel counter to order some food/drinks. The place is new and clean; time will tell if it holds up.

This lounge was really well done! I've frequented the Denver lounge often and that one is always so crowded and quite small, so I was worried it would be a similar situation here. This jfk lounge was much more spacious. This does make bringing back drinks and food a bit tricky since the food is on one end of the lounge and the bar is at the other end. Drinks were nice and strong and they have quite the list for NY-location special cocktails. The wines were surprisingly decent too. Food was a mixed bag - the meat in the sliders were a little overcooked. The desserts were great, especially the blondies. The bagels were a disappointment...bagel was too dry and rock hard. Though they did not skimp out on the fillings. The seats were very comfortable with outlets everywhere and WiFi was fast.

This was my first Capital One Lounge that I've experienced and it exceeded my expectations. First off, the interior is so beautiful designed--it's giving modern art deco lounge vibes. There were also plenty of seating and didn't feel crowded at all. Upon entering, I made a beeline to the full bar which was fully stocked and gorgeous. Daquan hooked it up with the Grass Widow mocktail, which was a sweet citrusy treat. They also had a handful of mocktails to choose from, if that is up your alley. Ordering hot foods from the QR code was pretty straight forward. While waiting for my food to arrive, perused the buffet, pastry, and cheesemonger sections. I got a little bit of everything: deviled egg, tomato crostini, black and white cookie, and sharp cheddar. These were great bites to open up the palette for the main course. Let me introduce to you the start of the show: The braised Berkshire pork shank with pea risotto. Oh my goodness, this was so heavenly! The pork was so tender, savory, and flavorful. The pea risotto was rich and creamy, which was a nice compliment to the pork. I should've gotten two of these, but I was on a crunch for time! To wash it all down, don't forget to try the Rustic White Bean & Spinach Soup, which might have been the most flavorful veggie soup that I've had. After my meal, I went to check out the Bodega, which serves coffee, tea, and NYC's coveted Ess-a-Bagel. I was so bummed for not getting any pastrami sandwiches while in NYC, but I was delighted to see they had a Pastrami & Swiss bagel on the menu. I copped that and a smashed avocado schmear bagel for the plane ride. Let me tell you...this pastrami, even though a little smushed and have been sitting in my backpack for 3 hours, was the best thing I've ever sunken my teeth into on an airplane. One thing that's consistent with Capital One, is that they don't play about their flavors! This pastrami might even be comparable to Katz's so I definitely was a happy camper. The Capital One Lounge made flying that much more enjoyable and I honestly want to fly more just to check out the different lounges that they have across the US.

Not all lounges are made equal, and the Sapphire lounge at JFK sits in the same class as Centurion…read moreand Capital One's new lounge. You can debate the nuances of each-- Centurion's food is better, Capital One's is larger and has a cheese monger, Ess a Bagel, and better cocktails. But compared to the sort of lounges that don't have their own bathrooms and offer nothing more than some bananas and cereal, you really could do worse. The Sapphire lounge in LGA is larger and prettier, but they pretty much offer the same amenities. The bathrooms have been clean every time I've visited, save for one time. The menu isn't vast but there's a little buffet station with fresh fruit and hot food, as well as a made to order menu with full sized portions. Sometimes the food has been quick, and other times it has taken a while, so you really should give yourself some buffer time if you're trying to get something from the made to order menu. The food is fine. I've visited enough times to say that the folks who work here have been so warm and nice each time, checking in and asking guests how they're doing. Garbage is cleaned up immediately, so it's a pretty well oiled machine in there. You can bring up to 2 guests and any additional guests cost just $27 more, which I'd say it's worth it, particularly if you have a long layover and will have a couple of drinks.

Under the level of the Chase lounge in LGA, but in the same tier, I'd say. The buffet food is…read morecurated and good (the chicken thighs in the mushroom sauce was my favorite).

I had the good fortune to visit Delta One Lounge in JFK several times and this is my honest…read moreopinion. Pros: Services are far superior than many A1 lounges that I have been to unless you're flying La Premiere by Air France. Other than that it was way better than Emirates itself and I an Emirates Platinum Member I must admit this. The decor feels like vintage dinner with a modern touch, it's almost like old Hollywood glamour. Many dishes are made a la carte, a true definition of fine dining. Several Chefs and Sous Chef are eager to cook you whatever you want with a smile. There are several seating areas that you can use to enjoy your delicious 5 course meals and drinks. Who can forget the quiet room with several 0 gravity chairs for a relaxing massage before your flight. Everyone was beyond polite and attentive. Honestly, this lounge makes both the AMEX & regular DL lounges feel very basic. I was pleasantly surprised. The experience is far better & above what you will experience in the cabin. Once you come you will have no desire to leave. It's therapeutic & magical. There's something for everyone there. Most importantly it's never as crowded as the regular lounge. Cons: Although everyone is super friendly and attentive. It almost feels like disingenuous & rehearsed. Everyone is repeating the same lines as if they were told what to say which caused me to question and or doubt that they really felt that way. This experience never gets old, it's like adrenaline rushing through your veins, it takes you so high that every time you get on the actual flight DL one cabin, you feel a sense of disappointment. Overall, I never want my flight to be canceled delayed so badly when I am in this lounge. The attention to detail is world class and mastered by the most hardworking patrons. It's truly the 4 seasons of ALL US Airlines lounges. Just when I thought they couldn't compete with Emirates and/or Qatar, DL one lounge surpasses them. It's the only reason why I never regretted paying premium for DL one seat. I just wish that level of service continues in the cabin.

My expectations might have been too high based on the reviews here. We started with a meal at the…read moreBrasserie. We were seated right away and got our wine fairly quickly. After that things fell apart a bit, with the server bringing one of us the wrong starter followed by a long wait for the correct one. Wine service also largely disappeared, though there were plenty of places outside the restaurant to get drinks. The food on the buffet looked and sounded delicious but suffered from sitting out too long. The food was certainly a step way up from the usual Delta Lounge, but I would in no way compare it to a good fine dining restaurant on the outside. Highlights were the massage chairs and facials. The process for signing up is confusing and the wait can be long if you come at the wrong time, but if you have enough time it's definitely worth it. Other than that, it was reminiscent of a Centurion Lounge - spacious but crowded, with a decent food and drink selection. Nice for an airport lounge, but still an airport lounge.

Could have done without the chips as I really just wanted greens, veggies, and protein. For $26, it was obviously on the smaller side, but hey, it's an airport resto. My drink was all right.
