Are there any spots offering Suhoor in the Bay Area?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little harder for restaurants to cater for Suhoor, the pre-dawn meal, but there are several late-night festivals marking the occasion.<\/p>\n

The biggest one is on March 7, when Halalfest<\/a> brings back its popular SuhoorFest<\/a> at the NewPark Mall in Newark. In past years, the festival has run from 11 p.m. up until 5 a.m.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Over at UC Berkeley, another \u201cSuhoor Fest,\u201d<\/a> organized by the UC Berkeley Pakistani Student Association and Halal Bites and Bazaar<\/a>, will take place on Feb. 27, starting at 11:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

San Jos\u00e9 will host the Suffa Suhoor Fest<\/a> on Feb. 28, from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m \u2014 and another Suhoor festival hosted at the city\u2019s Silver Creek Muslim Community Center<\/a> until 4 a.m.<\/p>\n

And of course, there is the grand teenage tradition<\/a> of going to your local IHOP. Their 24-hour locations include Daly City<\/a> and South San Francisco<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What about late-night cafes?<\/p>\n

Perhaps you\u2019re someone who also finds late-night cafes a helpful refuge during the strange sleep schedule that often comes with Ramadan. Luckily, the Bay Area is home to a host of coffee and tea spots that welcome night owls and Muslim communities <\/a>alike.<\/p>\n

The many coffeehouses and chai options in the Bay Area, taking inspiration from traditions across the world, include:<\/p>\n
