French restaurant Rochambeau has a beautiful ground-level café space on a bustling part of Boylston Street — and they’re not keeping it to themselves. Bright and early on the first Friday of each month through spring 2022, Café at Rochambeau plays host to visiting local flavor with a chef pop-up series.

From 6:30 until 9:30 a.m. on the first Friday (January event pushed to the second Friday due to snow), guests will discover signature pastries, savory breakfast items, coffee drinks, and other surprises in store from up-and-coming Boston chefs and eateries. Treats are available until supplies last, and the events are walk-in only (no reservations). There is limited on-site seating available and everything is available to-go.

Check out the chef pop-up series schedule and menu highlights:  

• January 14: Erin Miller of Urban Hearth (Cambridge), with sticky buns, buttermilk biscuits with citrus marmalade, biscuit egg sandwiches, and more.
• February 4: Nicole Harrington of Catalyst Restaurant (Cambridge), with a seasonal variety of signature baked goods and doughnuts.
• March 4: Colton Coburn-Wood of Cósmica (South End), TBD menu inspired by his travels throughout Mexico.
• April 1: Heather Yunger of Top Shelf Cookies (Dorchester), with a wide variety of “cookies as fresh as the city they come from.”
