The s/b #11 would have to be very late for you to get breakfast before Sacramento. There is a lot of schedule padding between Chico and SAC. For instance this morning the #11 arrived in SAC at 5:42 AM. Yesterday it arrived at 5:31 AM. The day before at 5:26 AM. The day before that at 5:16 AM, a full hour early. So virtually no hope of breakfast if you're ticketed to SAC.
