Chok Barcelona. I have been to Chök a dozen times since I moved to Barcelona. I love their doughnut display: I mean, whatever is the hole there for if not for hooking it up on the wall?
They have a distinctive doughnut. Extremely light: almost soapy in flavour. They employ a special (secret) technique that makes it possible. Besides the texture, the doughnuts come dipped in and rolled through a variety of chocolates and sprinkles. They’ve taken the humble doughnut and run away with it. Coming up with more combinations and colours than I would have thought are possible.
It’s not my thing. I favour a hint of grease and the crispness in a doughnut. I’m probably happiest with a sugared Krispy Kreme and a cup of black coffee (or in Barcelona, a Lukumas).
Still, my oldest daughter seems smitten with chocolate dipped doughnut covered with hundreds and thousands of sprinkles. (As I write this I realize that I like their not too sweet creative toppings a lot more than the doughnut it adorns.) So much so that I am a regular customer.
I find Chok Barcelona to be a beautiful shop. And I am always pleased when there is someone decorating doughnuts in the back room.

Hello! My name is Suzy. This blog is about discovering Barcelona through its eateries. I take it one restaurant or shop at a time and post on the blog once a week. I vary where I eat to have a have a mix of high and low end places. My goal is to find the special places, the ones worth seeking out and show and tell you all about them. 
Amazing place!!
Hello Suzy! My family and I will be traveling to Barcelona and the UK next month and I stumbled upon your great blog. I always like to eat at great, non-touristy places when I travel therefore I was wondering if you had a list of places we must try during our week in Barcelona. (Also any suggestions on things to do would be much appreciated) Thank you!
Hi Eva. For Barcelona, have a look at the favourites page. There are some addresses there. I find Gracia to be a great neighbourhood with lots of places to eat / drink at. Have a wander down C/ verdi and go to the market there. Also do like the locals and stay out of the sun during siesta.
