Pastel on Central is a gallery and coffee shop which entices all the senses with its eclectic collection of fine art, coffees, teas, delectables, antiques, home and garden wares, books, music and more. The shop stocks extraordinary, one-of-a-kind pieces and accessories that have been hand-selected.

Pastel is the creation of Chef Philippe Chin and Cheryl Grace. Recognized for his culinary artistry at The Partridge Inn and Bambu on Hickman, Chef Philippe Chin has always been interested in creating an environment that excited all of the senses. Grace’s dream has been to create a venue in Augusta to promote quality art of talented emerging artists that is not a typical gallery space. Grace’s son, David Jones and his wife are professional sculptors who teach and make art in Wyoming.

Located in historic Summerville, Pastel is housed in a commercial building that had been vacant for an extended period. Chin and Grace completely renovated the shop to create a contemporary visual space. Distinctive architectural elements such as the original tin ceiling have been restored and preserved. Artsy displays showcase merchandise as you would find it in your own home - a sculpture resting upon an antique sideboard; framed art hung on the walls; pottery and accessories placed throughout the gallery. Now Augustans can find elements to create their own unique spaces.
