Shacharit

  1.  If one slept and woke up after Chatzot<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Chatzot> it’s preferable not to eat before Davening<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Davening> unless there’s a need, however drinking is permissible until Olot HaShachar<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Olot_HaShachar>.[1]<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-1> Regarding whether one may eat before a fast prior to Olot HaShachar<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Olot_HaShachar> see Fast Days<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Fast_Days#When_does_the_fast_start>.
  2.  It’s forbidden to eat a KeBaytzah<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=KeBaytzah> of bread or Pas HaBah Bekisnin<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Pas_HaBah_Bekisnin> or to drink an intoxicating drink after a half hour prior to Olot HaShachar<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Olot_HaShachar>.[2]<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-2> If one began before this, one may continue until Olot HaShachar<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Olot_HaShachar>.[3]<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-3>
  3.  After Olot HaShachar<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Olot_HaShachar>, it’s forbidden to eat or drink anything besides water until one prays.[4]<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-4>
  4.  The minhag is to allowing having coffee or tea even with sugar and milk added.[5]<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-5>

Women

  1.  Ashkenazi Women may not eat before davening Shacharit,[16]<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-16>, while Sephardi women may.[17]<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-17>
     *   Some poskim say that if a woman wants to eat before davening, she should say a short prayer that includes praise of Hashem, a request to Hashem, and thanks to Hashem and then eat. It is preferable for her to also say the first paragraph of shema before eating. This solution works even if she is later going to daven a regular davening afterwards.[18]<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-18>

Eating before Kiddush

  1.  On Shabbat, some poskim write that a married woman who didn't daven yet and is permitted to eat, such as in the case above, if her husband has not davened yet, some poskim hold that she may eat without reciting Kiddush. Once she davened certainly she needs to recite Kiddush before eating. However, an unmarried woman who didn't daven yet and is permitted to eat, such as in the case above, must recite Kiddush before eating.[19]<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-19>
  2.  Sephardi poskim hold that women may not eat before Kiddush and if she usually davens she may drink coffee or tea before davening; a mother who is nursing may rely on those who say it is permitted for women to eat without Kiddush during the day.[20]<https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Eating_Before_Davening#cite_note-20>
