Many of you may know and love Udi's already, like we do. They have phenomenal gluten-free breads, plus pizza crusts, and more. This was our first time at one of their cafes. There are 5 Udi's Cafes now in Colorado, and they told me today that their gluten-free bagels are available at the Einstein Brothers on the corner of Colorado & Yale.
And hold on to your seats... They told me that soon Einstein's Bagels nation-wide will have Udi's gluten-free bagels! Holy moly! I'm still waiting on further confirmation of this, but according to the good people at Udi's in Stapleton, soon we can eat Udi's gluten-free bagels at Einstein's across the country!
Yesterday I had Roasted Eggplant with peppers and goat cheese—yum! The staff at Udi's were very knowledgeable and careful. The gluten-free bread is toasted in a gluten-free-only toaster, and the french fries are fried in a devoted gluten-free frier. So there is no worry about cross contamination.
Zoe and Ashley shared the Udi-Q Chicken and it was seriously yummy. I stole a few bites ;-)
Andy was already enjoying his hot Grilled Black Forest Ham sandwich when he noticed the soup of the day. It was Vietnamese Beef soup made with rice noodles, beef, cilantro, carrots, and a rich broth. He ordered a cup and thought it was delicious. 
Lastly, we got their gluten-free falafel to go, which turned out to be a really good thing, because we were hungry when we left the museum. Here is Ashley eating one in the car. This appetizer also came with hummus, pickles, onions, cucumber and tomato. It was a nice treat on the way home :-)I also learned that all but one salad dressing are gluten-free, and some of the Udi's Cafe locations have pizza on the gluten-free crusts. It's a very exciting time, isn't it?!
Update: My contact just informed me that there has NOT been a final decision on whether Einstein's Bagels will carry the Udi's gluten-free bagels as of yet. Keep your fingers crossed!

Oh My Gosh! I just discovered Udi's GF sandwich bread in the freezer section of "Natural Food Market", our "big town" store in small town West Texas. It's delicious and I realized I do miss bread afterall. An entire Udi's Cafe would be a dream come true. I enjoy your blog.
What the What?! I've never tried Udi's products, but they look and sound lovely.
Oh wow about Einsteins! I miss going there. Would love to go back and try the GF bagels!
Hi, it's a very great blog.
I could tell how much efforts you've taken on it.
Keep doing!
Wow! Thanks for sharing the exciting news. Makes me wish we were living in Colorado.
You just pushed me over the edge to find the time to visit the Udi's Cafe near me. I almost cried when I found Udi's bread in CA on our vacation. We were having a hard time finding gfree items in my hometown. I nearly tackled an old lady when she asked me if it was good. LOL.
They are now carrying Udi's bread at a store about an hour away from me in Richmond. Since Son lives there and I have appts there, I visit quite often so I will be buying some for me and him. Everyone is abuzz about it. But, going to the cafe, that would definitely be cool!

Hi I just ran across your Udi's post while trying to find out if their cafe sandwiches can be completely GF by simply switching the breads. Your family bought several items there so I'm assuming that this is the case. But as one GF woman to another, would you say this is true?
Thanks for all the comments, guys!
Jennifer, They do have a printed GF menu which shows you what can be made on the GF bread. And I always confirm when they bring the plates, "This is GF?" We've never had any problems there. : )
